The other new CBHOF inductees are pioneer boxerProfessorCharles Hadley, ring physician Dr. Tony Alessi, referee/judge Dick Flaherty, boxning författare Dan Parker and boxer/boxing contributor Hugh Devlin, Sr.
A graduate of Brown University, the now 80-year-old Sammartino has enjoyed two other careers as an oral surgeon and investment advisor at Blue Fin in Providence, in addition to his role as an international boxing judge since 1985.
I first got into boxing because Joey Angelo married my cousin,” Sammartino explained. “He fought back in the early forties. Joey fought Willie Pep twice and Sandy Saddler. That’s what got me started. We used to have the great Måndag Night Fights at Rhode Island Auditorium and I remember watching Rocky Marciano fight “Tiger” Ted Lowry there.
Because he was a successful oral surgeon, Clark could take long weekends to judge fights all over the world. His first and most memorable world title fight was Vinny Paz-Greg Haughn I. Through his long career, Sammartino judged more than 400 pro slagsmål, Inklusive 50 major world title fights.
The list of boxers whose fights Sammartino judged reads like a Who’s Who of Boxing during the past 32 år: Mike Tyson, Oscar de la Hoya, Evander Holyfield, Julio César Chávez, Johnny Tapia, Naseem Hamed, Chris Eubank, Marco Antonio Barrera, Mark Johnson, Wayne McCullough, Wladimir Klitschko, Gennadij Golovkin, Anthony Joshua, Sergey Kovalev, Bernard Hopkins, Juan Manuel Lopez, Nonito Donaire, Acelino Freitas, Ivan Calderon, Felix Trinidad, Tommy Morrison and many more.
Sammartino, who proudly says he never missed a day of work in 40 år, has decided to retire, although he’ll remain a boxing fans for the rest of his life. “I started slowing down at my age, doing local shows and maybe three or four world title fights a year, mostly WBO and IBF,” Sammartino remarked. “I had a tough bout with pneumonia the past 5-6 months and that made working difficult.
His CBHOF induction is a fitting ending and tremendous tribute to Sammartino and his career in boxing. “I’m humbled to be inducted into the Connecticut Boxing Hall of Fame,” sa han. “This is a great way to end my career.

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, New York.

At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on November 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, och “The Fighterand 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 vi hade 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up DennisThe MagicianMilton and Jesse Lanton connect once again.

Hall of fame Mark Johnson, stigande stjärna Dusty Harrison och tidigare mästare Vincent Pettway att delta "Snap, Spraka och pop "!

Baltimore, MD (Mars 18, 2015) - Boxning legenden Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson, obesegrat Dusty Harrison och tidigare weltervikt mästare Vincent Pettway deltar Baltimore Boxing "Snap, Spraka och pop " Lördag, Mars 27.

 

Kortet sker vid Michaels åttonde avenyn i Glen Burnie med dörrar som öppnas på 6:30 pm och den första klockan planerad till 8. Biljetter finns till försäljning nu genom att ringa 410-375-9175 eller gå till Baltimoreboxing.com. Enskilda biljetter börjar på $25 och VIP tabeller 10 är tillgängliga för $500. Alla VIP ticketholders kan njuta av gratis hors d'oeurves från 7-8 pm och de bästa platserna i parlamentet.

 

En av de största små män i boxning historia, Johnson fångade IBF Mellanvikt titel i 1996 genom att slå ut Francisco Trejedor i första omgången. The Washington, DC infödda fortsatte med att försvara sin mästerskaps sju gånger innan man går upp och vinna IBF super Mellanvikt krona. After a pair of setbacks to future hall of famer Rafael Marquez, Johnson blev den första människan att slå framtida stjärna Fernando Montiel i 2003 före pensioneringen tre år senare med en enastående 44-5 post. Med en legendarisk karriär i böckerna, Johnson installerades till International Boxing Hall of Fame 2012.

 

En välkänd stigande stjärna, Harrison blev proffs vid mogen ålder 16. Efter att ha varit i rampljuset från dag ett,Harrisons in-ringen framgång har stött hype och han fortsätter att förbättra varje gång han kommer in i ringen. I sin senaste match, DC baserade Harrison förbättrades till 25-0 och fångade WBC Continental Americas weltervikt krona genom besting Tommy Rainone över tio rundor på Madison Square Garden.

 

Bekämpning av Baltimore, Pettway blev champion i världen 1994, stopping underrated Gianfranco Rossi to win the IBF super welterweight belt. In his next match, Pettway gjorde en av de mest minnesvärda knockouts i boxning historia, illvilligt sätta undan Simon Brown i den sjätte omgången för att behålla sin titel. Efter Brown slog duken, Han bokstavligen kastade slag vid luft. Reprisen har visats otaliga gånger och är en favorit för boxning fans.

 

Pettway avgick i 2001 med ett rekord av 43-7-1 med 32 segrar genom knockout. I augusti förra året, Han fick Murray Smith "School of Hard Knocks" utmärkelse för sin livslånga engagemang för staden Baltimore.

 

"Varje gång du kan ha två boxnings storheter och en av de bästa unga fighters på ett ställe på en gång är något speciellt,"Sade Jake Smith i Baltimore Boxning Promotions. "Vincent har varit en stor vän och anhängare av Baltimore Boxning som är Mark. Jag har känt Dusty eftersom han är liten och jag tvivlar inte på att han kommer att vara en mästare inom en snar framtid världen. "

 

Johnson, Harrison, och Pettway kommer att finnas tillgängliga för att chatta med VIP ticketholders, skriva autografer och ta bilder. Fem mästaren Vinny Paz är också närvarande och kommer att diskutera hans kommande film, vin företaget och umgås med VIP ticketholders.

 

Denna spännande kväll med boxning kommer att ha fyra titel slagsmål inklusive junior mellanvikt Joey "Bazooka Joe" Veazey och tungvikt Sam "Vanilla Gorilla" Crossed i matcher för sin division östkust krona. Den undercard kommer innehålla Allen "The Hampton Hammer" Burris, Courtney Hartlove, 2015 Golden Gloves Champion Tommy Coe Jr. och tidigare college basketstjärnan Stefon McCray i separata anfall.

 

I samband med detta fasta kväll slagsmål, Baltimore Boxning är värd en speciell 50/50 utlottning för Brooke och Nathan Fenush Stipendiefond. Fonden skapades för att hjälpa Baltimore County Fire Department löjtnant Paul Fenush, vars fru nyligen gått bort.
