Saya bangga untuk mengumumkan secara rasmi 6th saya Rasmi Tinju Amatur Reunion yang akan berlangsung pada Mac 18 di Lounge Monique di Harlem, New York. Saya menjangkakan setakat ini yang seterusnya terbesar daripada mana-mana sebelumnya 5 pertemuan yang diadakan dua kali pada Rival Boxing di Las Vegas, sekali pada Corner Jimmy di Manhattan dan sekali setiap satu pada Connecticut Mohegan Sun dan Foxwoods Casinos.
Lebih yang 100 peninju menghadiri sejauh ini, di antara mereka saya mengharapkan orang-orang seperti 1988 Pemenang pingat perak Olimpik Riddick Bowe Big Daddy, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “racun” Junior Jones, 1984 juara Olimpik Mark Breland, 1974 Olimpik Junior kebangsaan juara Marlon Starling, 1996 ketua pasukan Amerika Syarikat Olimpik Lawrence Clay-Bey dan 1988 Golden Gloves Juara Kebangsaan Mark “Terlalu Sharp” Johnson.
Pada pertemuan saya yang lepas, termasuk yang paling baru-baru ini diadakan di Boxing Store Rival di Las Vegas pada November 18, kita mempunyai orang-orang seperti Roy Jones Jr., Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, bekas tiga kali juara dunia Mike McCallum dan Iran Barkley, dan “Pejuang” dan Ireland Micky Ward hadir.
Antara khas sebahagian besar detik-detik di pertemuan saya, kita mempunyai Mike McCallum dan Alex Ramos, yang bertemu satu sama lain dalam separuh akhir daripada 1980 Sarung Tangan NYC Golden, menyambung semula di Las Vegas pada akhir 2014, kita mempunyai Luis Ortiz dan Lawrence Clay-Bey, yang dibawa bersama-sama dalam 2015 di Foxwoods selepas bukan sahaja tidak melihat satu sama lain dalam 38 TAHUN tetapi selepas tidak mengetahui mereka melawan satu sama lain dalam 1977 sehingga hanya beberapa hari sebelum mereka bersatu semula dan di NYC lebih musim panas 2015 kami ada 1984 Sarung Tangan New York City Golden 156 juara pound dan naib juara Dennis “Ahli silap mata” Milton dan Jesse Lanton menyambung sekali lagi.
Mana-mana media yang ingin menghadiri acara di dalam Harlem, New York pada Mac 18 dialu-alukan untuk menjadi sebahagian daripada perayaan.
This will be my 4th official amateur boxers reunion, with the first three having taken place in Las Vegas (Disember 2014), New York City (Jun 2015) and Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut (Julai 2015).
Boxers who have attended previous reunions include the likes of four-time world champion Roy Jones Jr., three-time world champions Mike “The Body Snatcher” McCallum and Iran “The Blade” Barkley, WBO heavyweight champion Lamon Brewster, former WBC light heavyweight champion Montell “ais” Griffin, 1988 A.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, juara dunia, 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 A.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!

Quote: “
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 had” –Iceman John Scully, April 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, Februari 2003, Journal Inquirer (Manchester, Conn.) Newspaper
