Mapasigarbuhon ko nga opisyal nga ipahibalo ang akong ika-6 nga Opisyal nga Amateur Boxing Reunion nga mahitabo sa Marso 18 sa Monique's Lounge sa Harlem, New York. Nagpaabut ako sa labing kadaghan nga turn out sa bisan unsang nauna 5 reunion nga gihimo kaduha sa Rival Boxing sa Las Vegas, kausa sa Jimmy's Corner sa Manhattan ug kausa matag usa sa Connecticut's Mohegan Sun ug Foxwoods Casinos.
Sa ibabaw 100 mga boksidor nga motambong niini, taliwala kanila ako nagdahom sa mga sama sa 1988 Olympic Silver medalist Riddick Dakong Tatay Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Hilo” Junior Jones, 1984 Kampyon sa Olympic Mark Breland, 1974 National Junior Olympic champion Marlon Starling, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Lawrence Clay-nga say ug 1988 National Golden Gloves Champion Mark “Ra Panasonic” Johnson.
Sa akong mga past reunion, lakip ang pinakabag-o nga gipahigayon sa Rival Boxing Store sa Las Vegas sa Nobyembre 18, kami adunay mga sama ni Roy Jones Jr., Alex “Ang Bronx Bomber” Ramos, 1992 Olympian nga si Montell Griffin, kanhi three time world champions Mike McCallum ug Iran Barkley, ug “Ang Manlalaban” ug Irish Micky Ward nga nanambong.
Lakip sa labing espesyal nga mga higayon sa akong mga reunion, naa mi ni Mike McCallum ug Alex Ramos, kinsa nagkita sa usag usa sa semi-finals sa 1980 NYC Bulawan nga Guwantis, pagkonektar pag-usab sa Las Vegas sa ulahi 2014, naa mi nila Luis Ortiz ug Lawrence Clay-Bey, nga gitigom 2015 sa Foxwoods human dili lamang magkita sa usag usa 38 MGA TUIG pero wala gani kabalo nga nag away sila sa usag usa 1977 hangtod sa pipila lang ka adlaw sa wala pa sila nagkita pag-usab ug sa NYC sa ting-init sa 2015 kami adunay 1984 Bulawan nga Guwantis sa New York City 156 pound champion ug runner up nga si Dennis “Ang Mago” Si Milton ug Jesse Lanton nagkonektar pag-usab.
Bisan kinsa nga media nga gusto nga motambong sa kalihokan sa Harlem, New York niadtong Marso 18 mas gidawat nga mahimong bahin sa kapistahan.

“Iceman” John Scully’s 4th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion

This will be my 4th official amateur boxers reunion, with the first three having taken place in Las Vegas (Disyembre 2014), New York City (Hunyo 2015) and Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut (Hulyo 2015).
Boxers who have attended previous reunions include the likes of four-time world champion Roy Jones Jr., three-time world champions MikeThe Body SnatcherMcCallum and IranThe BladeBarkley, WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster, former WBC light heavyweight champion Montell “Ice” Griffin, 1988 U.S. Olympic coach Kenny Adams.
I’ve had this idea to bring my former amateur peers together for many years and in December of 2014 at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas I finally had my first amateur boxers reunion and it was a tremendous success. Since then I’ve had two more (at Jimmy’s -Glenn- Corner on W. 44th St.. in NYC and at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut)successful gatherings that have seen everyone from local amateurs, regional Golden Gloves champions, National AAU champions, world champions, Olympians and every other possible level of amateur boxer.
I had originally planned to have boxers from my Olympic trials class (1988)gather for a reunion but changed it to any era or level. On that end we’ve had boxers ranging from 1976 A.A.U. National champion Bret Summers from Washington State and 1976 Jamaican Olympian Mike McCallum all the way up to 2004 U.S. Olympian Jason Estrada.
Basically it’s a chance for us to get together, reminisce, tell stories, see old friends, meet people we’ve never met before. Maybe the best example of what my reunions entail came at the 2015 event at Foxwoods when I had Hartford’s Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey meet for the very first time since they boxed each other as young kids at Marc Anthony’s in Hartford way back in 1977!

The wait in the dressing room before a professional boxing match -that last hour- could be enough to strip a man who never boxed before of whatever pride, desire and heart he THOUGHT he hadIceman nga si John Scully, Abril 2002

Boxing is a tight-knit fraternity. Everybody knows everybody. But a line in the resin will forever be drawn separating those who step into the square ring and those who DON’T. Many, many people make money on a fight, but when the bell sounds, only two people answer it.Randy Smith, Pebrero 2003, Journal Inquirer (Manchester, Conn.) Newspaper
