Clark Sammartino

Uncasville, Conn. (Oktober 19, 2017, 2017) – Zijn introductie in de Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame (CBHOF) op zaterdag nacht, Oktober 28, als onderdeel van de zeskoppige Klasse van 2017, zal de bokscarrière van de aftredende rechter afronden Clark Sammartino bij 13TH jaarlijkse Diner CBHOF Gala Inductie in de Uncas Ballroom in Mohegan Sun.
De andere nieuwe CBHOF-inductees zijn pioniersbokser “Professor” Charles Hadley, ring arts Dr. Tony Alessi, scheidsrechter / rechter Dick Flaherty, boksen schrijver En Parker en bokser / boksmedewerker Hugh Devlin, Sr.
Afgestudeerd aan de Brown University, de nu 80-jarige Sammartino heeft twee andere carrières genoten als kaakchirurg en investeringsadviseur bij Blue Fin in Providence, naast zijn rol als internationaal boksrechter sindsdien 1985.
“Ik begon met boksen omdat Joey Angelo trouwde met mijn neef,” Legde Sammartino uit. “Hij vocht begin jaren veertig terug. Joey vocht twee keer tegen Willie Pep en tegen Sandy Saddler. Dat is waar ik mee begon. Vroeger hadden we het geweldige Maandag Night Fights in Rhode Island Auditorium en ik herinner me hoe ik Rocky Marciano zag vechten “Tijger” Ted Lowry daar.”
Omdat hij een succesvolle kaakchirurg was, Clark zou lange weekenden nodig hebben om over de hele wereld gevechten te beoordelen. Zijn eerste en meest memorabele wereldtitelgevecht was Vinny Paz-Greg Haughn I. Door zijn lange carrière, Sammartino oordeelde meer dan 400 pro gevechten, inclusief 50 grote wereldtitelgevechten.
De lijst met boksers wiens gevechten Sammartino beoordeelde, leest als een Who’s Who of Boxing in het verleden 32 jaar: Mike Tyson, Oscar de la Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Julio Cesar Chavez, Johnny Tapia, Naseem Hamed, Chris Eubank, Marco Antonio Barrera, Mark Johnson, Wayne McCullough, Wladimir Klitschko, Gennady Golovkin, Anthony Joshua, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Lopez, Nonito Donaire, Acelino Freitas, Ivan Calderon, Felix Trinidad, Tommy Morrison en nog veel meer.
Sammartino, die trots zegt dat hij nooit een dag werken heeft gemist 40 jaar, heeft besloten met pensioen te gaan, hoewel hij de rest van zijn leven een boksfan zal blijven. “Ik begon op mijn leeftijd te vertragen, het doen van lokale shows en misschien wel drie of vier wereldtitelgevechten per jaar, meestal WBO en IBF,” Merkte Sammartino op. “Ik heb in het verleden een zware aanval gehad met longontsteking 5-6 maanden en dat maakte het werken moeilijk.”
Zijn CBHOF-introductie is een passend einde en een geweldig eerbetoon aan Sammartino en zijn bokscarrière. “Ik voel me nederig om opgenomen te worden in de Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame,” he said. “Dit is een geweldige manier om mijn carrière te beëindigen.”

Uit 2008 naar 2010, “Juanma” was one of the top pound-4-pound fighters in the world, but he hasn’t fought in twee jaarheading into his much anticipated confrontation with his fellow countryman Vázquez, Jr.
“I still think I have a lot left in the tank,” López confidently said from his Puerto Rican training camp. “This is the first fight of my career that I feel I owe to fans because of the history behind it. I don’t think there will be any rust because I have been training for many, months and I have been inside the gym working hard. Maybe the agility I had four or five years ago isn’t quite the same, true, but at the same time I am more mature and much more calm and more intelligent in the ring. I definitely feel that I am a better fighter than ever before.”
Vázquez, Jr. (24-6-1, 19 KO), the son of the great three-time division world champion Wilfredo Vázquez, fights out of Bayamón whose best known boxing son is late Hall of Famer Héctor “Macho” Camacho.

“I think my opponent is a very persistent fighter and a person who will do anything to meet his goals, even though that will make him behave improperly,” López added. “I think it will be a very aggressive fight, more of a brawl, and I’m sure the night of the fight I will be the stronger fighter. I will dominate him, round by round, and the first moment I have an opportunity to go for the kill, I will pressure him and won’t stop until I get a knockout.”
