Deja un comentario

Sábado, Marzo 18, 2017
12:00 Mediodía (until around 3 pm)
@ Monique’s Lounge (aka 108 Lounge)
181 East 108th Street
East Harlem, Nueva York
10029
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, Nueva York. 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 Plata medallista olímpico Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Veneno” Júnior Jones, 1984 Olympic champ Mark Breland, 1974 National Junior Olympic champ Marlon Starling, 1996 USA Olympic team captain Lawrence de Clay-Bey y 1988 Guantes de Oro Nacionales Campeón Marcos “Too Sharp” Johnson.
At my past reunions, including the most recent one held at the Rival Boxing Store in Las Vegas on Noviembre 18, we’ve had the likes of Roy Jones Jr., Alex “El Bombardero del Bronx” Ramos, 1992 Olympian Montell Griffin, former three time world champions Mike McCallum and Iran Barkley, y “El luchador” 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 tuvimos 1984 New York City Golden Gloves 156 pound champion and runner up Dennis “El mago” 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.

Energía, who fought professionally between 1940 y 1966, was a two-time world featherweight champion who had an epic rivalry with De Sandy Saddler.

A close second place is the 2003 BWAA Fight of the Year, in which future Hall-of-FamerJames Toney (65-4-2) won a 12-round decision over reigning IBF cruiserweight champion Vassiliy Jirov. The action started days earlier at the pre-fight press conference when a skirmish erupted as tables were overturned and glasses thrown. The animosity continued between the two fighters and their respective camps right up to the final bell. Previously undefeated, Jirov (31-0) started fast but faded, getting decked in the final round.
En 2004, New England favorite Scott “The Sandman” Pemberton, hailing from nearby New Bedford, Massachusetts, was involved in a great 12º ronda, nocaut venidero de siempre duro Omar Sheika en una revancha de un empate anterior, por un título regional de peso súper mediano.
