1988 Olimpika ormedalisto "Senkompata" Ray Mercer Rerigardas sian olimpikan sperton

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Februaro 11, 2020) – Tridek du jarojn post kiam li kaptis olimpikan oran medalon, "Senkompata" Ray Mercer ame memoras sian olimpikan sperton kiel pasintmonate. Mercer, kiu estas la nura amerika pezeguloĉampiono por bati senkonscie ĉiujn siajn olimpikajn kontraŭulojn, daŭriĝis por iĝi monda pezeguloĉampiono kiel profesiulo por nia "pezegoduoblo".

Por Mercer, ĉio komenciĝis en Germanujo, kie lia U.S. Armeunuo estis bazita. Ofertis ŝancon eviti 30-tagan kampan ekzercon, Mercer akceptis oferton funkcii kiel batalpartnero por la pezegulboksĉampiono de la poŝto. Malgraŭ neniam antaŭe surmeti paron da gantoj, Mercer estis rapida lernanto kiu estis nature forta, kaj li rapide evoluis en la 1985 Usono. Armeo kaj Inter-serva pezeguloĉampiono.

La Monda Klasa Atleta Programo (WCAP), en kiu kvalifikitaj atletoj havas ŝancon plentempe trejni por la Olimpikoj, ne ekzistis tiam, nek la olimpikaj kvalifikaj reguloj de hodiaŭ. Mercer venkis estontan mondan pezego-ĉampiononTommy Morrison en la komenca rondo de la 1988 Olimpikaj Provoj kaj alia estonta monda pezegulo titolisto, Michael Bentt (5-0) en la ĉampionecfinalo. Ĉe la 1988 Usona Olimpika Box-offs ĉe fama Caesars Pala

ce en Las Vegas, Mercer gajnis dividitan decidon (3-2) super Bentt, sed Mercer jam kvalifikiĝis por batali en Olimpikoj estante la U.S. ĉampiono de la Armitaj Fortoj.

“Kiam mi estis en la Armeo, Mi devis venki en la servo, konservi aferojn, kaj iru al la sekva paŝo,” Mercer memoris. "Mi devis venki kelkajn bonajn batalantojn survoje al la Olimpikoj, kaj mi estis en la plej bona formo de mia vivo. Estis pli da disciplino en la amatoroj ol la profesiaj rangoj. La lasta jaro antaŭ la Olimpikoj, Mi forlasis mian hejman unuon, multe vojaĝis por batali, kaj restis en la domo de mia trejnisto anstataŭ vivi en la kazerno.

Mercer faris historion ĉe la 1988 Olimpikoj en Seulo, Sudkoreio, kiam li iĝis kaj restas la nura olimpika pezego-ĉampiono de Usono por knokaŭti ĉiujn kvar el siaj kontraŭuloj:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Ĉeĥoslovakio - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italio - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Nederlando - RSC2) KajBone Hyun-Man (Sudkorea - KO1).

"Mi sciis, ke mi devas knokaŭti la sudkoreon en la finalo,” Mercer konfesis. "Mi nur volis fari kion mi povis por esti la olimpika ormedalisto. Mi ne pensas, ke mi uzis pikon.

"Gajni la olimpikan oran medalon rezultigis kelkajn grandajn ŝanĝojn por mi. Mi fariĝis famulo, familia nomo, kaj ĝi permesis al mi gajni monon kiel profesiulo. La plej bona afero, kiu iam okazis al mi, estis gajni la olimpikan oran medalon, eĉ pli ol gajni la mondĉampionan titolon kiel profesiulo. Nenio kompare al iĝi olimpika ormedalisto. Mi plenumis mian revon. Mi neniam revis iĝi profesia, ĝis post kiam mi gajnis la oran medalon.

"Estis vere grave gajni tiun oran medalon. Mi batalis per mia koro; neniu mono estis implikita, festis tiel forte tiun nokton (post gajni la oran medalon) ke mi perdis mian medalon dum kelkaj horoj. Mia revo realiĝis, miaj manoj tremis, kaj mi perdis mian medalon. Kia nokto!?

Mercer ofertas membrojn de la 2020 Usona Boksado Olimpika Kvalifika Teamo unu konsilon, “Daŭre batalu, sekvu vian sonĝon kaj faru tiun lastan paŝon.”

Mercer, kiu naskiĝis en Jacksonville, Florido, faris sian tre atenditan profesian debuton en 1989, HaltantaJesse McGhee en la tria raŭndo de ilia batalo en Atlantic city. "Senkompate" gajnis sian unuan 18 Profesiaj bataloj, inkluzive de naŭa-raŭnda knokaŭto deFrancisko Damiani, sekvite per sukcesa defendo kontraŭ Morrison, kiu estis maldaŭrigita en la kvina raŭndo.

Dum lia 19-jara profesia kariero, Mercer kompilis a 36-7-1 (26 KOs) Rekordo, venkante kvar mondĉampionojn en Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon KajOssie Ocasio.  Kvin el liaj ok karierperdoj estis al mondĉampionoj: Lennox LewisWladimir Klitschko,Larry HolmesEvander Holyfield KajShannon Briggs

"Ray reprezentas ĉion, kio fierigas USA Boxing,?? DiritaChris Cugliari, Usono Boxing Alumni Association Direktoro. “Kiel armea veterano, Olimpika ora medalulo, kaj pezego-ĉampiono de la mondo, li montris plejbonecon kaj profesiismon, kiuj reflektas la plej bonan el tio, kion USA Boxing havas por oferti."

La Usona Boksado-Alumni-Asocio estas malfermita al iu ajn, kiu amas boksadon kaj ŝatus resti konektita kun amatora boksado. Membroj ricevas aliron al vasta gamo de specialaj okazaĵoj aranĝitaj fare de la Eks-studentoj-Unuiĝo, inkluzive de ĝia ĉiujara USA Boxing Alumni Association Halo de Famo-ricevo.

La elstara amatora boksookariero de Mercer ankaŭ inkludis klasikan matĉon kontraŭ kuba bonega kaj trifoja olimpika ormedalisto., Felikso Sapo, ĉe Usono vs. Kuba duobla matĉo, en kiu Mercer dufoje ŝanceliĝis Savon, kiu travivis sen suferi plian damaĝon nur ĉar la kuba arbitraciisto faris dubindan intervenon, kiu donis al sia samlandano tempon por resaniĝi kaj polemikan. 2-1 venko.

“Kaj li donis al mi starantan ok-kalkulon sen kialo,” Mercer aldonis. “Mi batis tiun ulon kaj li scias ĝin. Ni ankoraŭ estas en kontakto kvankam li ne parolas la anglan. Li havas amikon tradukantan kaj ni kontaktas Facebook. Ni ŝatas unu la alian."

#Hodia?, Mercer fondas bonfaradon hejme en Norda Karolino, kiu inkluzivos senpagajn boksajn klinikojn, Sed, pli grave, redonu al la komunumo kaj instruu junulojn, precipe tiuj, kiuj estas ĉikanitaj, la kapablojn, kiujn ili bezonos por eliri en la realan mondon.

Ray Mercer atingis la zeniton dufoje en boksado kiel olimpika ormedalisto kaj monda pezego-ĉampiono kiel profesiulo. Ne tro malbona por iu, kiu neniam vere volis boksi.

“Boksado savis mian vivon,” konkludis Mercer. "Mi ne povas imagi mian vivon sen boksado, certe ne estus la sama.

#CITA?O & PICTURES FROM THE NYSBHOF INDUCTEES

 


(L-R) – ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez and Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “I want to thank Ring 8 for the opportunity for me to be here. I’d also like to thank my wife for always being there for me, and my trainer.

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski and Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “If I have made any contributions to boxingI hope I haveI did by redefining record keeping and creating a new perspective on boxing history. I’m proud of that, but I didn’t do it alone.
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch and Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “I have so many people to thank for this honor. I’m a Buffalonian. There’s nobody more in favor of one New York, but it’s not. This is special for me because it’s the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This solidifies me and makes me think I’m not just a local boy. There was a huge disadvantage coming from a small city, sparring wasn’t the same as in the gyms of New York City, but I had an advantage coming from Western New York. Nobody was welling out like we did in Buffalo with 10,000, tiam 16,00 and finally 18,000 Homoj. They were always behind me and I share this with them because their support made me. My dream was to fight in Buffalo and to continue to fight there.
One of the highlights of my life was fighting Monte Barrett on HBO in Madison Square Garden. He was one of the greatest fighters in the world who fought for the world title. I always wanted to get my world title shot, but I never got it. That’s okay, I was little bitter for a while, but I couldn’t be happier with my career. The best part of boxing is the brotherhood we share.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens and Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “I know people always say it, but this is the truth: I owe so many people who have supported me throughout my career. Boxing has always been home away from home for me and today I feel like I’m home.
“Mi estis 30, living in Brooklyn Heights, and back driving a taxi a waiting on tables. A light went off in my head: boxing is the sport of the underdog and I’m an underdog. The next day I went to Gleason’s Gymthe center of the universe. I made my way around all the gyms in the city, meeting promoters, managers and trainers. I started making matches for promoters and then Cedric Kushner hired me from 1980-2002. Je 2002, I got a call to work for the New York State Athletic Commission as its Community Co-Ordinator and Director of Boxing. Tiam, I was made chairman and I served two terms. #Hodia?, I’m extremely proud to be part of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman and Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “I can’t believe this crowd. In order to do what we do, the sacrifices and support you get from your family is so important and (in Goodman’s case) was for so many years. They allowed us to do what we do. All of us love boxing!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins and Bob Duffy
AL COLE: “I thought boxing was the stupidest and dumbest sport ever. Who wanted to get punched in the face? I started boxing late. I played around some and people said I was pretty good. I started boxing when I was 20, in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood. Four years later, I was on the Olympic Team. The reason why is I had a great sparring partner, Ray Mercer. If I was going to be in the ring everyday with Ray, I was either going to get beat up, or get better.
I remember Bob Arum giving me his business card. I didn’t know him. I only knew of three people in boxing: @Don King, Mahometo Ali Kaj Sugar Ray Leonard. I didn’t follow boxing and the only reason I boxed was I would have had to sleep in the woods if I didn’t (in Army). Boxing is: hit him, before he hits me.

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin and Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “I want to thank the board. I’m going to be 70 and started in boxing when I was 18. It created a new direction in my life. I’m so proud to be in company with guys who didn’t just talk it, they loved it. If you really love this sport, you really have to learn it. Any man who stepped in the ring, plus all the roadwork, time in the gym and sacrificing what they eat, did it to be the best they can be.
“En boksado, you’re not going to win every fight, but whether a fighter wins or loses, if he gives 100-percent, he’s a winner. They work a job, run five miles day, workout at the gym, and then went home to spend time with his family. Friends and family always have your back.

(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “I’m speechless. It’s wonderful. Randy (former NYSAC chairperson Gordon), do you remember this story? There were only three judges and, bedaŭrinde, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to work#?I-nokte. I said that I wasn’t licensed and couldn’t do it. Randy said, ‘Raise your right hand’, and it was on. I was thrown in there, but it was okay.
My greatest accomplishments are my children and husband. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. Kaj Ralph Petrillo is part of my family; he was my second in command. I also had the best officials: deputy commissioners, inspectors, judges and referees. I wouldn’t be here with without them. Bob Duffy put this whole thing together. I personally think he’s amazing. My journey continues, I am blessed.

(L-R) – Bob and Murray Goodman
NOV-JORKO (Marto 26, 2018) – Boxing lifers Bob Goodman and his father, La lasta Murray Goodman, are among 23 members of the Class of 2018 being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) Sur #Diman?o Posttagmezo (12:30-5:30 P.M. ET), Aprilo 29.
The seventh annual NYSBHOF induction dinner will be held once again at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, Nov-Jorko.
A legendary boxing publicist, Murray Goodman (Bronx) brought his son into the sweet science when Bob was only eight years old. The rest was historic for the Goodmans, who are both inductees in several Halls of Fame, including the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
This is a great honor for me and my father,” Bob said. “I wish he were alive today to be there. I’m a boxing lifer. I was eight years old going to all the training camps with my father, who was a boxing writer and sports editor for the INS (Hearst News Service) Servo. The joke is I was conceived at Grossinger’s (Catskill Resort Hotel training camp). Boxing just came into my life. My dad and I had some businesses in promotions and public relations, all different kinds of sports-related businesses, but there was always boxing.
I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I was brought up doing the very things I loved. How many people can say that? I met and became friends with Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano and so many others. I’d stay in camps for weeks. I’d get up to run with the boxers and got a chance to be around my heroes. I also got to know trainers and others in boxing and later fans. I got to know everybody. I was brought up in boxing, my whole life was boxing, 65 years in the business.
Bob is, eble, best known as Vice President and Matchmaker for Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), as well as a quarter-century serving as Vice President of Boxing Operations, Matchmaker and Director of Public Relations for Don King Productions. He also promoted many world champions as President of his own company, Garden State Boxing.
I remember going away to training camps for weeks at a time,” the 78-year-old Goodman fondly remembered. “I’d take pictures, write stories every day and use my telecopier to send them to AP and UPI. I did so much being brought up un the business, even loading trucks up with chairs, the ring, speakers and more. My father was the Publicity Director for the International Boxing Club at Madison Square Garden. I worked there when I was a teenager.
I’m honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame with my father and so many boxing guys. They’re different from people in any other sports. One of the awards I’ve won that I’m most proud of is the James J. Walker Memorial Award for Long and Meritorious Service to Boxing (BWAA in 1960).
I’m fortunate to have transcended various eras in boxing. It was a different world back then, we had 20-30 writers stay for weeks at training camps. I got to know old-time boxers and trainers.

Evander Holyfield & Luis Collazo Ring 8’s Special Guest Speakers

Mardo, Nov. 21 at O’Neill’s Restaurant
In Maspeth, NY
NOV-JORKO (Novembro 15, 2017)) – Hall of Famer Evander “Vera Interkonsento” Holyfield and former world welterweight champion Luis Collazo will be special guest speakers at Ring 8’s next monthly meeting,Mardo Nokto, Novembro 21, at O’Neill’s Restaurant (64-21 53Rd Drive) in Maspeth, Nov-Jorko,
Because a large crowd is expected, only Ring 8 members will be allowed to attend this meeting, but membership may be obtained at the door for those interested in joining Ring 8.
Evander Holyfield is one of the few living legends in our sport,” Ringo 8 Prezidanto Jack Hirsch Dirita. “Tiel, you can imagine how thrilled we are to have him as a guest speaker. We had planned to present Holyfield with the Ring 8 Legends Award at our holiday banquet, but a lucrative business opportunity will prohibit him from being there that afternoon. Male, we will present him with that award at O’Neil’s. It says a lot about Evander that he adjusted his schedule to remain in New York to attend our meeting.
Luis Collazo is a terrific fighter in his own right, having been a former world champion. His career seems to be on an upswing once again and we are anxious to hear about his future plans.
Holyfield has retired as a boxer with an outstanding 44-10-2 (29 KOs), but this past year he has operated a New York City-based promotional company, Real Deal Boxing. A U.S. Olympian, Holyfield is the only unified world cruiserweight champion, as well as a four-time heavyweight champion of the world.
He had a 16-7-2 record in world title fights and won 19 De 30 fights with two draws against past or present world champions, defeating a Who’s Who list of all-time greats such as Dwight Muhammad Qawi, George Foreman, Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe Kaj Mike Tyson (Dufoje), among the more notables.
Born in Brooklyn and now a resident of Queens, Collazo (37-7. 20 KOs) captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight world title on April 2, 2005, winning a 12-round split decision over hometown favorite and defending champion Jose Antonio Rivera en Worcester, Massachusetts.
The 26-year-old Collazo, who has also defeated world champions Miguel Angel Gonzalez Kaj Viktoro Ortiz, remains a world title contender having upset 21-1 Sammy Vasquez in his last action by way of a sixth-round knockout last February.
