КЛАСА 2019



MARK BRELAND

Марк Бреланд: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

Шели Финкел (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, Победио сам, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”



JOE FRAZIER

Марвис Фразиер(Joe’s son, на слици): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ Рекао је, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. Тако, данас, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

“I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”



AL MITCHELL

Ал Мичел: “I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, I’ve got 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. Ја сам благословена.

“Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.”




Michael Rodgers (Ray’s son): “Први, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

“I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.”

USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION



Mike McAtee, Izvršni direktor, САД Бокс (на слици): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, хвала, and thank you. Вечерас, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

“I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ring – I include myself in that – we’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

“USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. Али, more importantly, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.”



Цхрис Цуглиари, Izvršni direktor, Америчко удружење бивших боксера: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: John Brown, Al Valenti, Џон Скали, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Тако, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

“A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: Први, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.”



Al Valenti, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, дисциплина, победа, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Вечерас, the story will be told. Вечерас, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, тренери, званичници, doctors…they’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”



Ел Бернштајн, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.”

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Децембар 3, 2019) - Вероватно највећи амерички боксер аматер свих времена, Марк Бреланд биће уврштен у Кућу славних Удружења боксерских алумни САД-а у петак увече, Децембар 13, током посебне класе 2019 церемонија у хотелу Голден Нуггет & Казино у Лаке Цхарлесу, Луизијана.

Пријем ХОФ-а одржава се заједно са 2020 У.С. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Натионал Цхампионсхипс, Нов. 7-15, у цивилном центру Лаке Цхарлес. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Нов. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино. Hall of Fame broadcasterЕл Бернштајн from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

Трећа класа ХОФ Асоцијације бивших боксерских асоцијација такође укључује још две златне олимпијске медаље, “Big” George Foremanи “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesАл Мичел иRay Rodgers. 

Његово. Јохн МцЦаин will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withЕвандер (Холифиелд) (Мухамед) Аре, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, иронично, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, у Мадисон Скуаре Гардену. „Били смо горе на горњим седиштима,”Бреланд, рођен и одрастао у Бреланду, сећао се као да је био јуче. "Публика, атмосфера ... све чега сам се могао сјетити била је, вау!  Све док нисам остарио нисам схватио да тамо има толико звезда које гледају Алију и Фрејзера, јер су сви били на прстену.

„Следећег дана сам отишао у теретану. Била сам стварно мршава, мали, али вратио сам се сутрадан. Уживао сам у вежбању и заволео бокс. Желео сам да боксам на великим турнирима. Ово сам желео да урадим, али бокс сам скривао од родитеља. Знали су да имам играо сам фудбал, али то им је било у реду, јер за разлику од бокса, имали смо кацигу. Победио сам на јуниорским олимпијским играма и то је било у новинама. Видео сам то и помислио да ће ме мајка убити. Мајка ме је питала зашто јој нисам рекао, па сам је позвао да ме гледа како се борим у Златним рукавицама. Била је у једном од првих редова, али после када сам је питао шта мисли кад сам нокаутирао противника, рекла је да то није видела јер је затворила очи. "

Бреланд је постао петоструки шампион њујоршких Златних рукавица са 21-0 запис, укључујући 19 нокаута, 14 долазе у уводној рунди. У 1982, Бреланд је на престижном светском првенству у Минхену освојио златну медаљу, Немачка, након чега је добио име бр. 1 велтер категорија света АИБА. Такође је изабран за боксера године (1982) од УСААБФ.

У 1984 Олимпијске игре, одржаном у Лос Анђелесу, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Мелдрицк Тејлор, Пернелл Вхитакер, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman иTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 КОс) запис, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.

“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); то сам само ја. Срећан сам због победе и срећан што радим то што радим. “

„Маркова доминација над конкуренцијом током његове боксерске каријере у САД цементира га као легенду,”Прокоментарисао јеЦhris Cugliari, Извршни директор Удружења бивших боксерских савезника САД. „Његова интелигенција у прстену, посвећеност свом занату, и способност да се бори било којим темпом против било ког стила чини га изванредним примером за данашњу групу аматерских шампиона. Прошло је много времена, али Удружење бивших ученика радује се што ће размислити о његовим достигнућима и одати почаст Марку у Луизијани “.

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Олимпијске златне медаљеАндрев Маинард, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Frank Tateи његов братТома, 1972 ОлимпијскиTim Dement, 2002 Национални Златни Рукавице првакJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Junior OlympicsGlen Modicue, four-time National championЕрик Кели, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championЏон Скали, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton андStephensbrothers –Donald, Антоније иЏери.

Бреланд је имао свој очекивани професионални деби у новембру 15, 1984, у чувеном Мадисон Скуаре Гардену, победивши Двајта Вилијамса једногласном одлуком у шест кругова. Током своје славне професионалне каријере (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 КОс) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, велики 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 освајач бронзане олимпијске медаље, Деонтаи Вилдер, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.

“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

Closing cuts & controlling blood flow leads 83-year-old Ray Rodgers into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

Класа 2019 церемонија дец. 13 у хотелу Голден Нуггет & Казино у Лаке Цхарлесу, Луизијана

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Новембар 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, Децембар 13, током посебне класе 2019 церемонија, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино у Лаке Цхарлесу, Луизијана.

Пријем ХОФ-а одржава се заједно са 2020 У.С. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Натионал Цхампионсхипс, Нов. 7-15, у цивилном центру Лаке Цхарлес. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Нов. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино. Hall of Fame broadcaster Ел Бернштајн from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, “Велики” Георге Фореман, “Smokin'” Јое Фразиер и Марк Бреланд, as well as legendary coach Ал Мичел.

Његово. Јохн МцЦаин will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: боксер, official, тренер, administrator and, наравно, рез човек. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

“From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “Ја сам навукао. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.”

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions Jermaine Taylor, Wayne McCollough и Томми Моррисон.

“It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.”

Био је први национални званичник и Златних и Сребрних рукавица. Више, већ је примљен у три Куће славних: Сребрне рукавице, Златне рукавице и Аркансас Спортс ХОФ.

“Раиова жртва безброј младих као тренер, ментор, рез човек, и лидер у аматерској боксерској заједници је инспиративан,” цомментед Цхрис Цуглиари, Извршни директор Удружења бивших боксерских савезника САД. “Његов радни стаж и знање које је пренео другим генерацијама чине га Двором славе, и радујемо се што ћемо га почастити у децембру.”

Родгерс није успорио, упркос томе што је недавно прославио свој 83рд рођендан. И даље поседује и управља боксерским клубом Раи Родгерс у Вест Литтле Роцку, Арканзас, поред тога што је служио као директор Аркансас Златних рукавица и турнира Мид-Соутх, која укључује Луизијану, Мисисипи, Западни Тенеси и Арканзас.

Његово. Јохн МцЦаин will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonМарвис Фразиер рекао, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatМухамед Али in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, састављање 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toБустер Матхис, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierБустер Матхис was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. У првом колу, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Аустралија) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Русија) у полуфиналу кругу, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, наспрамHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Фрејзер (32-4-1, 27 КОс) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofМухамед Али, Јимми Еллис (двапут), Боб Фостер, Oscar Bonavena(двапут), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Доуг Јонес, Eddie Machen иГеорге Цхувало during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedЦхрис Цуглиари, Извршни директор Удружења бивших боксерских савезника САД. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13тх."

East Harlem, Њујорк

I am proud to officially announce my 6th Official Amateur Boxing Reunion that will take place on March 18 at Monique’s Lounge in Harlem, Њујорк. I am expecting by far the largest turn out of any of the previous 5 reunions which were held twice at Rival Boxing in Las Vegas, once at Jimmy’s Corner in Manhattan and once each at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods Casinos.
Of the over 100 boxers attending this far, among them I expect the likes of 1988 Олимпијски вицешампион Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Poison” Јуниор Џонс, 1984 Olympic champ Марк Бреланд, 1974 National Junior Olympic champ Марлон Старлинг, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Лоренс Глина-бег и 1988 National Golden Gloves Champion Mark “Превише Схарп” Џонсон.
At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on Новембар 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Алек “Бронкс бомбардер” Рамос, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, и “The Fighter” and Irish Micky Ward in attendance.
Among the most special of moments at my reunions, we had Mike McCallum and Alex Ramos, who met each other in the semi-finals of the 1980 NYC Golden Gloves, reconnect in Las Vegas in late 2014, we had Luis Ortiz and Lawrence Clay-Bey, who were brought together in 2015 at Foxwoods after not only not seeing each other in 38 YEARS but after not even knowing they fought against each other in 1977 until just a few days before they reunited and in NYC over the summer of 2015 we had 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up Dennis “The Magician” Milton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.
Any media who wish to attend the event in Harlem, New York on March 18 are more than welcome to be a part of the festivities.
