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

Оставите коментар
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 године. 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. “Поштено, that’s what my career has been like,” рекао је, 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 Године” fight card at 2300 Арена, Мишел Росадо.

Tickets for Blood, Sweat & 50 Years are available at 2300arena.com, или позивом 215-765-9022.

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

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




ПХИЛАДЕЛПХИА, ПА–J Russell Peltz was 22 years old when he promoted his first boxing card 50 years ago at the legendary Blue Horizon. Он Нов. 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, Њ, by way of Vieques, Порторико, у главном догађају. 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, оф Пхиладелпхиа, and Tito Marshall, of Panama. 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. Атлантиц Цити, Лас Вегас, Европа, South America, the Orient–I cannot believe it’s been half a century.”


Пинк: “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.”


Улазнице за “Peltz Boxing 50th Anniversary Celebration” are priced $50, $70 и $90. They can be purchased online at www.2300arena.com или позивом 215-758-2173 and/or 215-765-0922. Врата се отварају у 6:30 pm and first bout is at 7:30 ам.

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

Оставите коментар

Bout headlines Guerra De Gallos at Casino Del Sol

Туцсон, AZ – Нов. 23 – When Tucson’s Jensen Ramirez (6-2-3, 1КО) squares off with Nogales’ Thomas Valdez (16-4-2, 6КО) at the Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater, иt will be the first seven-round bout in Arizona’s history. The featherweight bout headlines the Nov. 17 догађај, 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. Пинк, 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” Едвин “Chu Chu” Malave vs. Харолд Вестон, Јр. 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,” рекла је. “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, Октобар 25 at Casino Del Sol’s Paradiso Lounge at 2 п.м. 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

Оставите коментар
Peltz is the matchmaker for 24. фебруар card at The Showboat Hotel featuring Thomas LaManna and Gabriel Bracero

Атлантиц Цити – Фебруар 20, 2018 – Boxing in Atlantic City has been prevalent for more than 45 године. 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 Фебруар 24 card at The Showboat Hotel that will feature Thomas “Цорнфлаке” LaManna vs. Габријел “Тито” 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. Август 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.

“Касније, 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 онда) and never got that kind of exposure, just on PRISM. Заправо, Fletcher already had been on NBC once, beating Norberto Sabater.”

2. Септембар 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, у Питсбургу, ПА, 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. Март 13, 1983 from Resorts–Jeff Chandler – Gaby Canizalez (АБЦ)

“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, над 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. Март 2, 1985 from the Sands Hotel–Gary Hinton vs Aaron Pryor (АБЦ)

“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. Новембар 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. Брацеро, a terrific undercard has been assembled featuring undefeated fighters: light-heavyweight Frederick Julan (8-0, 6 КОс), оф Брооклин, НИ; super middleweight Darren Goodall (5-0, 4 КОс), Нев Милфорд, Њ; middleweight Omar Kabary Salem (1-0), оф Брооклин, НИ; super lightweight Jahmal Dyer (4-0, 2 КОс), Балтиморе, МД.

Пелтз Бокс прославља 46. годишњицу

Оставите коментар

U početku…
Док припрема за Петак Порториканац Бокс цлассиц На 2300 Арена у Филаделфији, Промотер Ј Расел Пелтз, Међународне боксерске Халл оф Фаме, класа 2004, подсећа свој почетак у боксу 46 пре неколико година.

Данас славим-или можда посматра 46. годишњицу-моје прве борбе као промотер бокса. Могао сам чекала још четири године да напишем ову причу, али да изгледа као дуго од сада и још више кладити да достигне ту прекретницу.

Видио сам само неколико минута од мојих првих бокс картице. То је био септембар. 30, 1969, ат тхе Блуе Хоризон-још није легендарни-а ја сам био заузет у благајнама са мамом, продаје карте до последњег од 1,606 људи које стиснуо тамо те ноћи да гледају у средњој Бени Бриско уништи Тито Марсхалл у њиховом реванш. Ми смо заправо се људе те ноћи и то је нешто што ја никада не бих опет. Шта сам мислио?

Био је неспоразум са синдикатом који снабдева и карата продавца па кад нису успели да покажу, Запослио сам мама-гратис, наравно-а је помогла да прода карте.

Био сам 22 година стар, 15 месеци након дипломирања на Универзитету Темпл и мање од 30 дана уклоњен из раде пуно радно време на спортском особља у Вече Билтен. Ја сам жудео за бокс победити у Билтен, али имам нестрпљиви када Јацк Фриед, Тхе Бокинг писац, добио продужење о његовом старосну пензију у доби 65 и нисам хтео да виси око чекају да се пензионише или, као тата би рекао, отегнути папке.

Урадио сам оно што и сваки 22-годишњак Цоллеге Град који је одрастао на престижном Маин Лине би урадио-ја постао промотер бокса.

Ја сам спасао о $5,000 на колеџу, јер сам радио пуно радно време на оно што се зове Јастог Схифт у Билтен, почевши лето након моје прве године на Темпле.

То је био пост-олимпијска година у Филаделфији, а било је таленат на сваком ћошку. Сећам се крајем лета 1969, вожњу до Цолумбиа Авенуе-сада Цецил Б. Мур-и окретање одмах након 22д улицу, где Колумбија претвара у Ридге. Две зграде из угла стајао је пригодно назван Цафе Роацх је.

Упознала сам Сам Соломон, пријатељски округло лице човека који је поседовао Лаундромат у Вест Пхиладелпхиа, и он ме је упознао са својом новом борцу, 17-годишњи пастув који је тражио да се окрену за. Његово име је Јуџин Харт. Сем га по надимку Циклон.

Не постоји било про борба картица у Филаделфији од маја и локални фанови били спремни за неку акцију.

Ја сам сањао да сам био дечак идол, Сала-у-Фамер Харолд Јохнсон, у главном догађају, али нисам могао приуштити $2,000 је хтео. Ја сам постао пријатељ са Пат Дуффи, пошто написао неке приче о аматерском боксу док сам био у Билтен. Дафи је контролисао аматере у Три-Стате области и имао је своју руку у професионалце, као и. Учествовао је са Леотис Мартин и Самми Госс и Бенние Брисцое и гаранцију $1,000 против проценат прихода капије морам да се борим Брисцое реванш са Марсхалл, који су тукли Бени четири године раније.

Дафи је имао у тешкој категорији по имену Јерри судија, из Кенсингтон делу Пхилли, и ја сам га додао на картицу у свом дебију про. На постеру сам идентификовао судија као Кенсингтон шампион у тешкој категорији. Стварно!

Џорџ Хил, који је тренирао у Цхампс Гим, пристао да направи свој деби против судије про.

Џими Топпи, Јр., овнед Блуе Хоризон. Он је промовисао борбе у разним местима у Филаделфији 1940-их и 1950-их и чим је чуо за мој главни догађај, предвидио распродати. Топпи би затворила своју канцеларију сваки дан у 2 ам, па бих одвести до Блуе Хоризон из мог стана у Германтовн делу града, паркирати испред и сачекајте да проверите да ли клијенти ће се појавити да купе карте.

Ја сам био у теретанама сваке ноћи, Цхампс-а 23. у Северној Пхилли: ПАЛ, Пассиунк и Јунипер Теретана у Јужној Пхилли. Било је и других, али они су били Фаб Фоур.
