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.

He closed his remarks with a story about playingCowboys & Indiansas 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. “老老實實, that’s what my career has been like,” 他說, and thanked the Council for the honor.

Peltz was joined in attendance by his wife, 琳達, and his protege and the promoter of Friday’s “血液, Sweat and 50 年份” fight card at 2300 競技場, 米歇爾·羅薩.

VALDEZ VS. RAMIREZARIZONA’S FIRST SEVEN-ROUND FIGHT


Bout headlines Guerra De Gallos at Casino Del Sol

圖森, THE – 十月. 23 – When Tucson’s Jensen Ramirez (6-2-3, 1KO) squares off with NogalesThomas Valdez (16-4-2, 6KO) at the Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater, 我t will be the first seven-round bout in Arizona’s history. The featherweight bout headlines the Nov. 17 事件, 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. 玫瑰, 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 ofThe Long-Haired Boxer” 埃德溫· “Chu ChuMalave vs. 哈羅德·韋斯頓, JR. 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 localgallos.

 

 

 

Raging Babe will host a press conference this Thursday, 十月 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

Peltz is the matchmaker for 2月24日 card at The Showboat Hotel featuring Thomas LaManna and Gabriel Bracero

大西洋城 – 二月 20, 2018Boxing in Atlantic City has been prevalent for more than 45 歲月. 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 二月 24 card at The Showboat Hotel that will feature Thomas “玉米片” LaManna vs. 加布里埃爾 “鐵托” Bracero in a 10-round battle for the WBC Fecarbox Welterweight championship.

I did my first fight in 1973,” 佩爾茨說, 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. 八月 31, 1981 at The Sands HotelFrank 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.

“後, 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 然後) and never got that kind of exposure, just on PRISM. 其實, Fletcher already had been on NBC once, beating Norberto Sabater.

2. 九月 9, 1980 from ResortsMike Rossman vs. Al Bolden (PRISM)

Ex-WBA light-heavyweight Rossman was getting beat up every round for 8 1/2 rounds against Al Bolden, 匹茲堡, 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. 三月 13, 1983 from Resorts–傑夫·錢德勒 – Gaby Canizalez (ABC)

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

4. 三月 2, 1985 from the Sands HotelGary Hinton vs Aaron Pryor (ABC)

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. 十一月 19, 2011 from BallysGarrett 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. 短工, a terrific undercard has been assembled featuring undefeated fighters: light-heavyweight Frederick Julan (8-0, 6 科斯), 布魯克林, 紐約; super middleweight Darren Goodall (5-0, 4 科斯), 新米爾福德的, 新澤西州; middleweight Omar Kabary Salem (1-0), 布魯克林, 紐約; super lightweight Jahmal Dyer (4-0, 2 科斯), 巴爾的摩, MD.

佩爾茨拳擊慶祝46週年


在開始時…
雖然準備 週五 波多黎各拳擊精英賽在 2300 競技場在費城, 啟動Ĵ羅素佩爾茨, 名人堂國際拳擊名人堂, 類 2004, 回憶他在拳擊比賽開始 46 幾年前.

今天我慶祝,或者觀察到,在我的第一次戰鬥的46週年作為一個拳擊啟動. 我可以再等四年才能寫這個故事, 但是,似乎是一個很長的時間,從現在甚至更長的賭注達到這一里程碑.

我看到了我的第一個拳擊卡只需幾分鐘. 這是九月. 30, 1969, 在藍色地平線 - 沒有傳說中的 - 我正忙著在票房與媽媽, 賣票到最後的 1,606 我們的人在那裡擠,當晚觀看中量級本尼·布里斯科破壞鐵托馬歇爾在他們的複賽. 實際上,我們轉身離開的人,當晚這件事情我永遠不會再做. 我在想什麼?

有與工會誤傳所供售票員所以當他們未能表現, 我僱了媽媽免費, 當然,她幫賣門票.

我是 22 歲, 15 個月,從天普大學和不到畢業後 30 天全職工作的體育工作人員拆除 晚上公報. 我曾經覬覦拳 擊敗公報, 但我等得不耐煩時,傑克·弗里德, 拳擊作家, 得到了他的強制退休的年齡延長 65 我是不是要掛在等著他退休或, 因為爸爸會說, 氣絕.

所以我做了什麼,誰是提出了在著名的每一個22歲的大學畢業生 主線 會做,我成為了一個拳擊推廣.

我救了約 $5,000 在大學裡,因為我已​​經在他們所謂的全職工作 龍蝦移公報, 我在寺廟大三之後開始的夏天. 我從工作 午夜 8 是, 編輯報導, 寫標題和標題,做重新寫入. 然後,我從30日開車 & 市場街北寬街對我在寺廟大四, 去上課,從 9 我要 1 下午, 然後開車回家巴拉Cynwyd的去睡覺.

這是在費城一個後奧運年,有才華的每一個街角. 我記得夏末 1969, 哄抬哥倫比亞大道,現在塞西爾乙. 穆爾,並打開右後22D街,哥倫比亞變成嶺. 從角落裡兩棟建築站在恰當地命名為羅奇的咖啡廳. 在羅奇的咖啡廳頂部, 上樓梯陡峭飛行, 是香榭麗舍健身房, 通過Quenzell麥考運行, 誰做了他的骨頭培訓珀西·巴塞特和Leotis馬丁和小貓海沃德和布里斯科等眾多頂級費城戰士.

我遇到山姆所羅門群島, 一個友好的圓臉的人誰擁有的洗衣店在西費城, 他向我介紹了他的新的戰鬥機, 一個17歲的螺柱誰一直在尋找轉職業. 他的名字叫尤金·哈特. 薩姆稱他為 龍捲風.
