J RUSSELL PELTZ HONORED BY PHILADELPHIA CITY COUNCIL Philadelphia icon recognized for half century of promoting boxing in the city

Palikite komentarą
PHILADELPHIA PA — Members of the Philadelphia City Council presented a resolution honoring J Russell Peltz at this morning’s council meeting on behalf of President Darrell Clarke. The resolution recognized Peltz’ contribution to the city over 50 years of promoting boxing in Philadelphia. President Clarke serves as the City Councilman for District 5, where Peltz promoted his first boxing event at the Blue Horizon on September 30, 1969.

The resolution gave a brief history of Peltz’ career before thanking him for the profound impact he had on the city over the last 50 metų. It also expressed the wish that the next generation of boxing promoters continue to preserve Philadelphia’s legacy as a boxing stronghold.

Peltz was gracious in his remarks, and had the crowd laughing when he began speaking about his career.

“I’m humbled to be honored by the city,” he began, “because if you think about it, the only thing I’ve done over the last 50 years is start fights that other people finish.

“I’ve grown up in the greatest fight city in the world,” he continued. “Some of the greatest fighters of all time have fought for me – hall of fame fighters – beginning with my first love, Bennie Briscoe in 1969, and going all the way up through one of my fighters winning a world title in Bejing, China a couple years ago by the name of Jason Sosa.”

He closed his remarks with a story about playing “Cowboys & Indians” as a kid, and how he thought it would be so cool if he could just play the game as an adult, instead of going to work every day. “Dorai, that’s what my career has been like,” jis pasakė, and thanked the Council for the honor.

Peltz was joined in attendance by his wife, Linda, and his protege and the promoter of Friday’s “Blood, Sweat and 50 Metų” fight card at 2300 Arena, Michelle Rosado.

RAGING BABE PRESENTS: PELTZ BOXING 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OCTOBER 4 AT 2300 ARENA

Palikite komentarą
Philadelphia’s boxing community to come together
To mark “The Boy Wonder’s” 50-year milestone




PHILADELPHIA, PA–J Russell Peltz was 22 years old when he promoted his first boxing card 50 years ago at the legendary Blue Horizon. Spa. 4, Peltz will celebrate half a century as a boxing promoter with a card at the 2300 Arena that will reflect his reputation for promoting Philly vs. Philly, no-quarters-given bouts.


The eight-fight card, promoted by Raging Babe, will feature junior welterweight Victor Padilla, of Berlin, NJ, by way of Vieques, Puerto Rikas, pagrindiniame atveju. Padilla, who is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, is undefeated in five fights, all by way of knockout, and is considered by Peltz and others to be a future world champion. Peltz will serve as matchmaker for the event.


It has been nearly 20 years since Peltz received the Long and Meritorious Service award from the Boxing Writers Association of America and Philadelphia Sportswriters Association, followed in 2004 by his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. While others might have considered retirement, Peltz has gone on to promote more than 150 additional events, bringing his total number of promoted shows to nearly 1,000. He has promoted or co-promoted more than 40 world championship fights.


After starting his career as sports editor of the Temple News–the daily student newspaper at Temple University–and then on the sports copy desk at the Evening and Sunday Bulletin, Peltz traded in his typewriter for the roller coaster that is professional boxing. He was dubbed “The Boy Wonder,” when he sold out the 1,346-seat Blue Horizon in his first event on Sept. 30, 1969, a night that featured a middleweight main event between Bennie Briscoe, Filadelfijos, and Tito Marshall, Panamos. The standing-room-only crowd was 1,606.


In more recent years, he’s taken Michelle Rosado (aka Raging Babe) under his wing, mentoring her and showing her the ins and outs of the boxing business with his unique brand of tough love.


“I can think of no one better to promote my 50th Anniversary Celebration,” said Peltz. “I have been able to sit in the passenger seat the last couple years while Michelle drove and I’m excited to share this special event with her.


“It seems like yesterday I was sitting outside the Blue Horizon in North Philly, selling tickets out of my car for my first card after the box office closed for the day. From there to the old Arena in West Philly, then to The Spectrum in South Philly, it’s been quite a ride. Atlantik Sitis, Las Vegasas, Europa, South America, the Orient–I cannot believe it’s been half a century.”


Rausvas: “It’s an honor to put on this card with and for Russell’s 50th. He has been an incredible mentor and friend, and I think I have looked forward to this celebration of his legacy even more than he has.”


Bilietai į “Peltz Boxing 50th Anniversary Celebration” are priced $50, $70 ir $90. They can be purchased online at www.2300arena.com arba paskambinus 215-758-2173 and/or 215-765-0922. Durys atviros ne 6:30 pm and first bout is at 7:30 pm.

VALDEZ VS. RAMIREZ – ARIZONA’S FIRST SEVEN-ROUND FIGHT

Palikite komentarą

Bout headlines Guerra De Gallos at Casino Del Sol

Tuksonas, AZ – Spalis. 23 – When Tucson’s Jensen Ramirez (6-2-3, 1KO) squares off with Nogales’ Thomas Valdez (16-4-2, 6KO) at the Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater, it will be the first seven-round bout in Arizona’s history. The featherweight bout headlines the Nov. 17 renginys, dubbed Guerra De Gallos.

 

 

 

Raging Babe’s Michelle Rosado had to think outside the box when negotiating the card’s main event. One camp wanted an eight-round fight and one wanted a six. Rausvas, consulting with her mentor, Hall-of-Fame Promoter J Russell Peltz, lamented the potential loss of a solid, local main event. Peltz had a solution. “Why not meet in the middle and make it seven rounds?” Rosado was skeptical. “I told him to get outta here,” Rosado said. “I was laughing, but Peltz wasn’t joking. School was in session.”

 

 

 

There was a precedent. Peltz told the story of “The Long-Haired Boxer” Edvinas “Chu Chu” Malave vs. Haroldas Weston, Jaunesnysis. in a welterweight bout that took place in August of 1971 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Malave wanted the bout to be eight rounds, and Weston wanted 10. The New York State Athletic Commission proposed that the bout be nine rounds. Malave went on to win a split decision, with two judges scoring the fight 5-4 in his favor, and the third scoring it 5-4 for Weston.

 

 

 

Rosado had her fight.

 

 

 

“I bought right into it when Russell told me about the Malave-Weston bout,” she said. “I knew we had a good fight, and there was something special about having a seven-round main event.” Both Ramirez and Valdez’s teams agreed, and the Pascua Yacqui Commission sanctioned the seven-round bout. On Nov. 17, Tucson boxing fans will see Arizona’s first seven-round bout between two local “gallos.”

 

 

 

Raging Babe will host a press conference this Thursday, Spalis 25 at Casino Del Sol’s Paradiso Lounge at 2 p.m. The presser will be open to the public and will include a tribute to promoter Don Chargin.

J Russell Peltz reflects on his favorite fights in Atlantic City

Palikite komentarą
Peltz is the matchmaker for vasario 24th card at The Showboat Hotel featuring Thomas LaManna and Gabriel Bracero

Atlantik Sitis – Vasaris 20, 2018 – Boxing in Atlantic City has been prevalent for more than 45 metų. One man who has been in the center of a lot of the action on the boardwalk has been International Boxing and Atlantic City Boxing Hall-of-Fame promoter and matchmaker J Russell Peltz.

The Philadelphia legend, who has promoted scores of cards in the shore town, is making matches for the Vasaris 24 card at The Showboat Hotel that will feature Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna vs. Gabrielius “Tito” Bracero in a 10-round battle for the WBC Fecarbox Welterweight championship.

“I did my first fight in 1973,” said Peltz, who has run shows in just about every property in Atlantic City.

It is only fitting that Peltz is the matchmaker with promoter Rising Star Promotions in the South Jersey based promotional outfit’s effort to bring Atlantic City back to prominence as the the premier fight destination on the East Coast.

Peltz is hoping LaManna-Bracero is added to the memorable bouts that Peltz has been involved in Atlantic City:

1. Rugpjūtis 31, 1981 at The Sands Hotel–Frank Fletcher vs Ernie Singletary.(PRISM)

“The fight was televised by local cable channel PRISM (Jim Barniak and Bob Wright, both deceased, did the commentary) and it was for Fletcher’s USBA middleweight title.

“This was the most brutal fight I ever saw, even more brutal than Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson I. This was a closet classic since few saw it on PRISM. The fight was toe-to-toe for seven rounds, no knockdowns, until ringside doctor stopped it between the seventh and eighth round. They could have fought this one in a phone booth.

“Singletary was taken to hospital after fight.

“Vėliau, when we couldn’t find Fletcher, we broke into his hotel room, and he was out cold on the floor. We couldn’t get an ambulance so we (Marty Feldman and I) put him in the back of a police wagon and rode with him to the hospital where the doctor told us if we hadn’t found him he would have been dead.

“Singletary kept saying in the pre-fight buildup that no 12-2 TV fighter was gonna beat him. This was a reference to Fletcher getting into the first ESPN tournament and winning while Singletary had been plying his trade for years (24-2 tada) and never got that kind of exposure, just on PRISM. Tikrai, Fletcher already had been on NBC once, beating Norberto Sabater.”

2. Rugsėjis 9, 1980 from Resorts–Mike Rossman vs. Al Bolden (PRISM)

“Ex-WBA light-heavyweight Rossman was getting beat up every round for 8 1/2 rounds against Al Bolden, Pitsburgo, PA, and finally found a little light late in round 9 and came on to knock Bolden out at 2:32 of the 10th round and salvage the win. Bolden took the second knockdown in the 10th on his knees.”

3. Kovas 13, 1983 from Resorts–Jeff Chandler – Gaby Canizalez (Abėcėlė)

“Jeff Chandler, in the most brilliant performance of his Hall-of-Fame career out-boxed, out-punched and out-muscled future champion Gaby Canizales, of Texas, per 15 rounds to defend his WBA bantamweight title for the seventh time by unanimous decision. No one thought he could stand up under Canizales’ body attack but it was Chandler’s body and head attack that kept Canizales at bay for the entire fight. Just magnificent.”

4. Kovas 2, 1985 from the Sands Hotel–Gary Hinton vs Aaron Pryor (Abėcėlė)

“Unknown lefty Gary Hinton gave IBF 140 pound world champ Aaron Pryor all he could handle, but a 14th-round knockdown helped Pryor gain a 15-round split decision with Sylvester Stallone in attendance. He was our partner at the time with Pryor. It was Pryor’s last successful title defense.”

5. Lapkritis 19, 2011 from Ballys–Garrett Wilson vs. Chuck Mussachio

“Moving from light heavyweight to cruiserweight, Mussachio appeared to have out-boxed Wilson for 11 rounds in their USBA cruiserweight title fight, but Wilson drilled Mussachhio with a monstrous overhand right 41 seconds into the 12th round for the knockout win.”

Besides LaManna vs. Bracero, a terrific undercard has been assembled featuring undefeated fighters: light-heavyweight Frederick Julan (8-0, 6 Kos), Brukline, NY; super middleweight Darren Goodall (5-0, 4 Kos), New Milford, NJ; middleweight Omar Kabary Salem (1-0), Brukline, NY; super lightweight Jahmal Dyer (4-0, 2 Kos), Baltimore, MD.

PELTZ Boksas švenčia 46-ies metų jubiliejų

Palikite komentarą

Pradžioje…
Rengiantis Penktadienio Puerto Riko Boksas Klasikinis ne 2300 Arena Filadelfijoje, rengėjas J Russell PELTZ, Tarptautinė bokso Hall of Fame, klasė 2004, primena savo pradžią bokso 46 prieš keletą metų.

Šiandien aš švęsti-gal stebėti-46-metį mano pirmąją kovą kaip bokso promotoriaus. Galėjau laukė dar ketverius metus rašyti šią istoriją, bet atrodo, kad ilgą laiką nuo šiol ir net ilgiau statymas pasiekti, kad įvykis.

Aš mačiau tik keletą minučių pirmųjų mano bokso kortelės. Tai buvo rugsėjis. 30, 1969, "Blue Horizon-dar legendinis-ir aš buvau užimtas kasose su mama, parduoda bilietus į paskutinį iš 1,606 žmonių mes suspaudus ten tą naktį žiūrėti vidutinio svorio Bennie BRISCOE sunaikinti Tito Marshall savo rematch. Mes iš tikrųjų pasirodė žmones, kad naktį ir tai, ką aš niekada padaryti vėl. Ką aš buvau galvoju?

Nebuvo nesusikalbėjimo su Europos Sąjunga, kad tiekiamas bilietų pardavėjams, todėl, kai jiems nepavyko įrodyti, Aš pasamdė mama neatlygintinai, Žinoma, ir ji padėjo parduoti bilietus.

Buvau 22 metai, 15 mėnesių po studijų baigimo nuo Temple universiteto ir mažiau nei 30 dienų pašalintas iš darbo visą darbo laiką sporto darbuotojai Vakaro biuletenis. Aš jų užsigeidžiau bokso įveikti į Naujienlaiškis, bet aš turiu kantrybės, kai Jack kepti, bokso rašytojas, turiu ant jo privalomo išėjimo į pensiją amžiaus grupės pratęsimo 65 ir man buvo ne apie lūkuriuoti laukia jam išeiti į pensiją arba, kaip tėtis sakydavo, numirti.

Taigi, aš padariau tai, ką kiekvienas 22-metų koledžo grad, kuris buvo iškeltas į prestižinį Pagrindinė linija būtų padaryti-tapau bokso propaguotojas.

Aš išgelbėti apie $5,000 kolegijoje, nes aš dirbau pilnu etatu, ką jie pavadino Omarai Shift " į Naujienlaiškis, pradedant vasarą po mano jaunesnysis metų Temple. Dirbau nuo vidurnakčio iki 8 esu, redagavimo istorijos, rašyti antraštes ir antraštes ir daro iš naujo rašo. Tada aš vairuoti nuo 30 & Market Street Šiaurės Broad Street mano vyresnysis metus Temple, eiti į klasę 9 esu su 1 pm, tada vairuoti namo Bala Cynwyd eiti miegoti.

Tai buvo po olimpinių metų Philly ir ten buvo talentas ant kiekvieno gatvės kampo. Prisimenu vasaros pabaigoje 1969, Pakėlus Columbia Avenue-dabar Cecil B. Moore-ir sukate į dešinę, po 22d gatvės, kur "Columbia virsta Ridge. Du pastatai iš kampe stovėjo taikliai pavadintas Roach kavinėje. Ant Roach kavinėje, iki stataus laiptais, buvo Champs Sporto salė, paleisti Quenzell McCall, kuris padarė jo kaulai mokymo Percy Bassett ir Leotis Martin ir šuniukai Hayward ir BRISCOE ir daugelis kitų populiariausių Philly kovotojai.

Sutikau Sam Saliamoną, draugiškas turas dviveidis žmogus, kuris priklausė Skalbyklos Vakarų Filadelfijoje, ir jis įvedė mane į savo naują kovotoją, 17-metų Stud kuris ieško pasukti Pro. Jo vardas buvo Eugenijus Hart. Sam pravarde jam Ciklonas.

Prieš metus, ne atsižvelgiant į Apreiškimo bažnyčioje rūsyje 12th sporto salėje & Norrisas, vos ne šventyklos miesteliu, Turėjau interviu kitą jauną mėgėjų boksininkas už pasakojimą parašiau už Naujienlaiškis. Jo vardas buvo policininkas W. Jie pavadino jį Boogaloo.

Yra nebuvo profesionalas kova kortelė Philly nuo gegužės ir vietos gerbėjų buvo pasiruošę tam tikrų veiksmų.

Aš svajojau turėti savo vaikystės stabas, Salė-of-Famer Haroldas Johnsonas, į pagrindinį renginį, bet aš negalėjau sau leisti $2,000 jis norėjo. Aš tapo draugiškas su Pat Duffy, parašęs keletą istorijų apie mėgėjų bokso, o aš buvau ne Naujienlaiškis. Duffy kontroliavo į Tri-State srityje mėgėjus ir jis turėjo savo ranką į privalumus, taip pat. Jis buvo susijęs su Leotis Martin ir Sammy Goss ir Bennie Briscoe ir garantijos $1,000 prieš vartų įplaukų procentais aš BRISCOE kovoti rematch su Marshall, kuris buvo sumuštas Bennie ketverius metus.

Duffy taip pat turėjo sunkiasvoris pavadintas Jerry teisėjos, nuo Kensington skyriuje Philly, ir aš pridėjo jį į kortelę savo pro debiutas. Ant plakato aš nustatė teisėjas kaip Kensington sunkaus svorio kategorijos čempionas. Tikrai!

George Hill, kurie buvo mokyti ne Eliziejaus viešbučiai, sutiko savo pro debiutavo prieš teisėją.

Jimmy Toppi, Jr, priklauso Blue Horizon. Jis skatino kovas įvairiose vietose Philly 1940 ir 1950, ir kuo greičiau jis išgirdo apie mano pagrindinį renginį, jis numatė parduotą. Toppi būtų uždaryti savo biurą kiekvieną dieną 2 pm, todėl norėčiau važiuoti per į Blue Horizon iš mano butas Germantown skyriuje miestą, pastatyti lauke ir laukti, kad pamatyti, jei bet klientai būtų rodomi pirkti bilietus. Kai pamačiau tą žiedas "Blue Horizon durų skambutį, Norėčiau gauti iš mano automobilio, skambinti per juos ir juos parduoti bilietus iš mano kamieno.

Kortelė susirinko, nors vatų’ originalus priešininkas, Šiaurės Philly kaimynas Lloyd Blogos naujienos Nelsonas, panaikinta porą savaičių prieš šou, ir tai buvo ne iki arti Sept. 30 kad aš rasiu Ron Nesby, kurie buvo mokyti ne Gil Clancy sporto salėje Niujorke.

Tėtis buvo vandentiekio, šildymo ir oro kondicionavimo verslo ir paėmė 100 Ringo bilietai ir davė juos savo verslo partneriams. Jis sumokėjo man už juos visus, jie buvo $5 gabalas. Manau, jis buvo neramu aš ne padaryti jį bokso. Mano dėdė Bobas atvyko į kovą ir jis susirgo po valgio Blue Horizon Hotdog.

Buvau salėse kiekvieną naktį, Champs ir 23 PAL Šiaurės Philly, Passyunk ir Juniper Sporto salė Pietų Philly. Nebuvo kiti bet tie buvo Fab Four.

Malcolm “Flash” Gordonas, ilgai trumpaplaukis Niujorkas bokso narkomanas, kuris pirko mimeografas mašina su savo Baras Mitzvah pinigų ankstesnių metų, sutiko parduoti savo dabar jau legendinis programas dėl kovos 25 centų už kiekvieną.

Tomas Cushman, bokso rašytojas už Dienos naujienos, buvo pagrindinis žaidėjas. Aš susitiko Cushman Oklahoma Sitis prieš kelerius metus. Jis ten sustojo–savo keliu į rytus nuo Denver pradėti savo naują darbą ne Dienos naujienos-padengti Šventyklos krepšinio komanda Kalėdų turnyre ir aš ten buvau kaip korespondentas Naujienlaiškis.

Cushman žinojo, kad bokso rašytojų iš kitų laikraščių mieste paėmė pinigus po stalu iš vykdytojų rašyti anksto stoti istorijas ir jis man pasakė, jei jis kada nors sugauti mane daro, kad galėčiau pabučiuoti mūsų draugystę sudie. Ne šansas!

Paklausėjo Antraštė dieną prieš mano kortele: Ar PELTZ Pasiruošę skaldytos?

Mes išparduota. Tuo metu,, the 1,606 Sirgalių lankomumo atstovavo didžiausią minią į Blue Horizon istorijoje. Vartai buvo $6,010 su bilietų kainomis ne $3 ir $5. BRISCOE procentinė atėjo $1,314.58 ir Maršalo išėjo su $788.75.

Artimieji Oskaras koordi įveikti Clarence Finney į visa vietos keturi Desmitcīņnieks atidaryti kortelės laiku, natūraliai, į 8 pm-ir Ciklonas Hart susprogdino atokiau Pietų Philly anketa Sheldon Moore, kas neatsakė į varpas turas dviejų. Džeris teisėjas sunkiai dirbo ir sustojo George Hill ketvirtajame ture ir Boogaloo Watts out-supakuota Ron Nesby A 6. Į pagrindinį renginį, BRISCOE turėjo sprogimo. Jis prikaltas Marshall žemiau juostos pradžioje ir kada Tito pasiskundė ref, Bennie nuėjo laiptais ir visa tai buvo perkelta į 60 sekundžių. Maršalo niekada supakuota vėl.

Skyrelius Smėlio Grady ten buvo iš Naujienlaiškis. Jo istorija Kitą dieną–Crazy svajonė išsipildo–papasakojo apie mano prognozė kolegijoje, kad vieną dieną mano draugai būtų artėja prie mano kova kortelių. Jis taip pat rašė, kad mano (pirmas) žmona ir aš buvo gyvename Germantown butą ir tik ką jame buvo čiužinys, televizorius ir katė vardu Ofelija. Su pinigų mes padarėme, kad naktį ($1,438.83), Grady rašė, kad galbūt dabar būtume nusipirkti baldus.

Prieš kelis mėnesius, mano žmona paprašė manęs, ką padarė man galvoti galėčiau būti sėkmingas šiame versle. Pasakiau jai, kad ji mane apie šešis mėnesius pūsti savo santaupas, bet aš turiu didelę Užrašų knygelė vieną dieną parodyti savo vaikams apie laiką jų tėtis buvo bokso propaguotojas.
