COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Ožujak 9, 2020) - Po bilo kojim standardima, U.S. Olimpijac i bivši jedinstveni svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji Riddick "Veliki tata" Bowe nesumnjivo je jedan od svih najvećih boksača, amaterski i profesionalni.

Rođen i odrastao u zloglasnom dijelu Brownsvillea u Brooklynu, Njujork, koji je također iznjedrio svjetske prvake u teškoj kategorijiMike Tyson aShannon Briggs, Bowe je počeo boksati u 13 u teretani boksačkog saveza Bedford-Stuyvesant.

“Htio sam učiniti sveMuhammad Ali učinio,Bowe je objasnio zašto se bavio boksom. “Bio je moj idol. Htio sam se pridružiti marincima, ali zaljubio sam se u boks i ostao s njim. Zaboravio sam na marince. "

Bowe je razvio svoj zanat i postao izvanredan boksač, prikupljanja 104-18 amaterski rekord, istaknuo svojim kontroverznim nastupom na srebrnoj medalji na 1988 Olimpijske igre u Seulu, Južna Koreja.

Četverostruki prvak zlatnih rukavica New Yorka, Bowe je također zauzeo najviše počasti na 1986 Svjetsko juniorsko prvenstvo, zajedno s brončanom medaljom na 1987 Pan American Games, unatoč tome što se u svom posljednjem meču borio s prijelomom ruke koju je skrivao od svojih trenera.

Bowe je imao rivalstvo sRobert Salters, s kojim je podijelio četiri šibice, ali je pobijedio Saltersa, 3-2, u USP. Box-off za kvalificiranje za 1988 Boksački olimpijski tim SAD-a. Uključili su i njegove olimpijske suigračeRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney aAndrew Maynard.

Kontroverzni okruživao svoju borbu na olimpijskom prvenstvu protiv budućeg svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, Kanadski superteškaš Lennox Lewis, koji se kući vratio sa zlatnom olimpijskom medaljom. Tijekom njegove borbe s Lewisom, Boweu je oduzet bod za kundak glave "duha" koji se nikada nije dogodio, a sudac je Boweu dao par osporavanih osam točaka, od kojih je posljednja rezultirala zaustavljanjem borbe u Lewisovu korist.

“Tu borbu nikada nije trebalo zaustaviti,”Komentirao je Bowe. “Još uvijek sam sretan zbog osvajanja srebrne medalje. Još uvijek ga imam. A onda sam postao profesionalac. Moja majka je imala 13 djeca i željela sam usrećiti majku. Htio sam joj kupiti kuću. To je ono što me nadahnulo za boks. "

“Boweov amaterski i profesionalni uspjeh stvorio mu je ime među američkim bivšim boksačkim studentima,", Rekao jeChris tofflemire, Direktor Udruge američkih boksačkih boksača. “Njegova kombinacija moći i vještine, zajedno sa svojim legendarnim bitkama s ostalim američkim bivšim boksačkim profesionalcima, uspostavlja ga kao jednog od najvećih boraca koje je USA Boxing ikad proizveo. "

S legendarnim treneromEddie Futch u svom kutu, Bowe je postao prvi istinski jedinstveni svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji, osvajanjem naslovnog pojasa za sva četiri priznata glavna kaznena tijela: WBC, WBA, IBF i WBO.

Bowe se povukao s nevjerojatnom 43-1 (33 Kos) pro zapis. Imao je 5-1 (4 Kos) marka u borbama za svjetski naslov, 7-1 (5 Kos) naspram prošlih svjetskih prvaka u teškoj kategoriji kao što suEvander Holyfield (dvaput), Pinklon thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes aHerbie Hyde.

Bowe se kasnije osvetio za svoj usamljeni profesionalni gubitak od Holyfielda, pobijedivši u dvije od tri borbe s "Real Deal-om".

“Jako sam zadovoljan svojom profesionalnom karijerom,”Dodao je Bowe. “Pobijedio sam Holyfielda dva puta i mislim da su trebala biti tri. Nisam bolni gubitnik, ali bio sam svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji. Kako je pobijedio u toj borbi? Izazivač treba uzeti pojas prvaku, a on to nije učinio. Mislio sam da sam pobijedio na bod, U najgorem slucaju, možda je trebalo biti neriješeno, ali nisam smio izgubiti borbu. Postao sam prvi koji je ikad nokautirao Holyfielda. Moja profesionalna karijera nije bila loša. Nastavio sam vrijedno raditi i postao dvostruki svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji. "

Sada 51 i živi u Marylandu, Bowe ima nekoliko savjeta za američke boksače koji se pokušavaju kvalificirati za 2020 Tim USA boksački olimpijski tim.

“Samo nemoj razmišljati o tome,”Naglasio je Bowe, zvučeći poput Nikeove reklame. "Jednostavno učinite to! Uspjelo mi je. Pojavio sam se i nisam razmišljao o tome. I uvijek završi snažno. "

Riddick "Veliki tata" Bowe, koji je primljen u Međunarodnu boksačku Kuću slavnih godine 2015, ostavio traga u amaterskom i pro boksu. Nitko to nikad ne može oduzeti velikom tipu iz Brownsvillea.

Klasa 2019



MARK BRELAND

Mark Breland: “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.

Shelly Finkel (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, I pobijedio, 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

Marvis Frazier(Joe’s son, Zamislio): “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.’ On je rekao, 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. Tako, danas, 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

Al Mitchell: “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. Blagoslovljen sam.

“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): “Prvo, 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, Executive Director, USA Boks (Zamislio): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, hvala, and thank you. Večeras, 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. Ali, što je još važnije, 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.”



Chris tofflemire, Executive Director, SAD Boks Alumni Association: “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, u Valenti, John Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Tako, 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: Prvo, 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.”



u 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, disciplina, pobjeda, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

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



Al Bernstein, 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.”

Simply The Best! Mark Breland

Razred 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Prosinac 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Mark Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Prosinac 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Nacionalnih prvenstava, Prosinca. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosinca. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein 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 two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George Foremana “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell aRay Rodgers. 

Sen. John McCain 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 withEvander (Holyfield) (Muhammed) Su, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ironično, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, wow!  I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.

“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”

Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 rekord, uključujući 19 miševa, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Njemačka, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.

Na 1984 Olimpijske igre, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman aTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 Kos) rekord, 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); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”

“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Zlatne olimpijske medaljeAndrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Frank Tatei njegov bratToma, 1972 OlimpskiTim Dement, 2002 National Golden Gloves prvakaJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Junior OlympicsGlen Modicue, four-time National championEric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championJohn Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton aStephensbrothers –Donald, Antonije aŠvaba.

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 Kos) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, velika 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olimpijski brončani, Deontay Wilder, 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.”

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: bokser, službeno, trener, administrator and, naravno, rez čovjek. “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, “Bio sam zakačen. 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 a Tommy Morrison.

“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.”

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. Više, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: Silver Gloves, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, mentor, rez čovjek, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” komentirao Chris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83rd rođendan. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkanzas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Misisipi, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“At my age, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 godina, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, iako, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Zlatne olimpijske medalje Andrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Zlatne olimpijske medalje Frank Tate i njegov brat Toma, 1972 Olimpski Tim Dement, 2002 National Golden Gloves prvaka Jaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic Qualifier Jackie Beard, 1981 Junior Olympics Glen Modicue, four-time National champion Eric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion John Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton aStephens braća – Donald, Antonije a Švaba.

“Smokin’”Joe Frazier punched way into USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

Razred 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Studeni 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, kasno, velika“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Petak navečer, Prosinac 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Olympic Trials and 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosinca. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein 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 two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George ForemanaMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches, Al Mitchell aRay Rodgers. 

Sen. John McCain 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 sonMarvis Frazier rekla, “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 beatMuhammad Ali 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, prikupljanja 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, 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 qualifierBuster Mathis 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. U krugu otvaranja, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australija) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusija) u polufinalu krugu, 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, naspramHans 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.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 Kos) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (dvaput), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(dvaput), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen aGeorge Chuvalo 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,” addedChris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “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 13th."

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Zlatne olimpijske medaljeAndrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Zlatne olimpijske medaljeFrank Tatei njegov bratToma, 1972 OlimpskiTim Dement, 2002 National Golden Gloves prvakaJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Junior OlympicsGlen Modicue, four-time National championEric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championJohn Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton aStephens brothers –Donald, Antonije aŠvaba.

Navodnici & SLIKE IZ NYSBHOF-ovih INDUKTIVA

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez i Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Želim zahvaliti Ringu 8 za priliku da budem ovdje. Također bih se zahvalio svojoj supruzi što je uvijek bila uz mene, i moj trener.”

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski i Bob Duffy
BILJNI ZLATNIK: “Ako sam dao bilo kakav doprinos boksu – Nadam se da jesam – Redefinirao sam vođenje evidencije i stvorio novu perspektivu povijesti boksa. Ponosan sam na to, ali nisam to učinio sam.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch i Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “Imam toliko ljudi zahvaliti na ovoj časti. Ja sam Buffalonian. Nema više nikoga za jedan New York, ali nije. Ovo je za mene posebno jer je to New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. To me učvršćuje i navodi na razmišljanje da nisam samo lokalni dječak. Veliki je nedostatak dolazio iz malog grada, sparing nije bio isti kao u teretanama New Yorka, ali imao sam prednost dolazeći iz zapadnog New Yorka. Nitko se nije liječio kao mi u Buffalu 10,000, onda 16,00 i konačno 18,000 ljudi. Uvijek su bili iza mene i to dijelim s njima jer me učinila njihova podrška. San mi je bio boriti se u Buffalu i tamo nastaviti borbu.
“Jedan od vrhunaca mog života bila je borba protiv Monte Barretta na HBO-u u Madison Square Gardenu. Bio je jedan od najvećih boraca na svijetu koji se borio za svjetski naslov. Uvijek sam želio dobiti svoj naslov svjetskog prvaka, ali nikad nisam shvatio. To je u redu, Neko sam vrijeme bio malo ogorčen, ali nisam mogao biti sretniji sa svojom karijerom. Najbolji dio boksa je bratstvo koje dijelimo.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens i Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “Znam da ljudi to uvijek govore, ali ovo je istina: Dugujem toliko ljudi koji su me podržavali tijekom moje karijere. Boks mi je uvijek bio kod kuće i danas se osjećam kao da sam kod kuće.
“I bio 30, koji žive u Brooklyn Heightsu, i natrag vožnja taksijem i čekanje na stolovima. U glavi mi se upalilo svjetlo: boks je sport underdoga i ja sam underdog. Sljedeći dan otišao sam u Gleason’s Gym – središte svemira. Prošao sam se po svim teretanama u gradu, promotori sastanka, menadžeri i treneri. Počeo sam praviti utakmice za promotore i tada me Cedric Kushner angažirao 1980-2002. U 2002, Pozvan sam da radim za Državnu atletsku komisiju države New York kao koordinator zajednice i direktor boksa. Onda, Postao sam predsjednik i odslužio sam dva mandata. Danas, Izuzetno sam ponosan što sam dio New York State Boxing Kuće slavnih.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman i Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “Ne mogu vjerovati ovoj gužvi. Da bismo radili ono što radimo, žrtve i podrška koju dobivate od svoje obitelji toliko su važni i (u Goodmanovom slučaju) bilo toliko godina. Dopustili su nam da radimo ono što radimo. Svi volimo boks!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, U školu, Clay Jenkins i Bob Duffy
U ŠKOLU: “Mislio sam da je boks najgluplji i najgluplji sport ikad. Tko je htio dobiti udarac u lice? Kasno sam počeo boksati. Igrao sam se oko nekih, a ljudi su govorili da sam prilično dobar. Počeo sam boksati kad sam bio 20, u vojsci, stacioniran u Ft. Kapuljača. Četiri godine kasnije, Bio sam u olimpijskom timu. Razlog zašto sam imao sjajnog sparing partnera, Ray Mercer. Kad bih svaki dan s Rayom bio u ringu, Ili ću biti pretučen, ili se popraviti.
“Sjećam se da mi je Bob Arum dao svoju posjetnicu. Nisam ga poznavala. Znao sam samo za troje ljudi u boksu: Don King, Muhammad Ali a Sugar Ray Leonard. Nisam pratio boks i jedini razlog zbog kojeg sam boksao bio je taj što bih morao spavati u šumi da nisam (u vojsci). Boks je: udari ga, prije nego što me udari.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin i Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Želim zahvaliti odboru. Biti ću 70 i počeo boksati kad sam ja 18. Stvorilo je novi smjer u mom životu. Ponosna sam što sam u društvu s dečkima koji nisu samo razgovarali o tome, oni su to voljeli. Ako stvarno volite ovaj sport, to stvarno moraš naučiti. Svaki čovjek koji je zakoračio u ring, plus svi radovi na cesti, vrijeme u teretani i žrtvujući ono što jedu, učinili da budu najbolje što mogu.
“U boksu, nećete dobiti svaku borbu, ali da li borac pobjeđuje ili gubi, ako daje 100-posto, on je pobjednik. Oni rade posao, trčati pet kilometara dnevno, vježbanje u teretani, a zatim otišao kući provesti vrijeme sa svojom obitelji. Prijatelji i obitelj uvijek su vaša leđa.”

(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Ja sam bez teksta. Predivno je. Aspida (bivši predsjednik NYSAC-a Gordon), sjećaš li se ove priče? Bila su samo tri suca i, nažalost, jedan je pozvao bolesnika. Sjedio sam kraj prstena bez ikakvih odgovornosti. Randy je rekao da moram raditivečeras. Rekao sam da nisam licenciran i ne mogu to učiniti. Rekao je Randy, ‘Podignite desnicu’, i bilo je dalje. Bačen sam tamo, ali bilo je u redu.
“Moja najveća postignuća su moja djeca i suprug. Ne bih mogao tražiti bolju situaciju. A Ralph Petrillo je dio moje obitelji; on mi je bio drugi zapovjednik. Imao sam i najbolje službenike: zamjenici povjerenika, inspektori, suci i suci. Ne bih bio ovdje s njima bez njih. Bob Duffy je cijelu ovu stvar spojio. Osobno mislim da je nevjerojatan. Moje putovanje se nastavlja, Blagoslovljen sam.”

Legendarni boksački publicist, Murray Goodman (Bronx) doveo je svog sina u slatku znanost kad je Bob imao samo osam godina. Ostalo je za Goodmanove bilo povijesno, koji su oboje primljeni u nekoliko Dvorana slavnih, uključujući i Međunarodnu boksačku kuću slavnih.
“Ovo je velika čast za mene i mog oca,” Rekao je Bob. “Volio bih da je danas živ da je tamo. Boksački sam doživotni. Imao sam osam godina išao sam s ocem na sve trening kampove, koji je bio boksački pisac i sportski urednik INS-a (Hearst News Service) usluge. Šala je da sam začeta kod Grossingera (Trening kamp hotela Catskill Resort). Boks je tek ušao u moj život. Moj tata i ja imali smo nekih poslova s ​​promocijama i odnosima s javnošću, sve različite vrste poslova vezanih uz sport, ali uvijek je bilo boksa.
“Ja sam najsretniji momak na svijetu. Odgajan sam radeći upravo one stvari koje sam volio. Koliko ljudi to može reći? Upoznala sam i sprijateljila se s Joeom Louisom, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano i toliki drugi. Ostao bih u kampovima tjednima. Ustao bih da trčim s boksačima i dobio priliku biti u blizini svojih heroja. Također sam upoznao trenere i druge iz boksa te kasnije navijače. Upoznao sam sve. Odgajan sam u boksu, cijeli život bavio sam se boksom, 65 godine u poslu.”
Bob je, možda, najpoznatiji kao potpredsjednik i provodadžija za Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), kao i četvrt stoljeća koja je bila zamjenica predsjednika boksačkih operacija, Provodadžija i direktor odnosa s javnošću za Don King Productions. Također je promovirao mnoge svjetske prvake kao predsjednika svoje tvrtke, Vrtni državni boks.
“Sjećam se kako sam tjednima odlazio na trening kampove,” rado se sjećao 78-godišnji Goodman. “Slikao bih, pišem priče svaki dan i koristim ih mojim telekopirom kako bih ih slao na AP i UPI. Toliko sam radio odgajan u poslu, čak i utovarivanje kamiona stolicama, prsten, zvučnici i još mnogo toga. Moj otac bio je direktor za promidžbu u Međunarodnom boksačkom klubu u Madison Square Gardenu. Tamo sam radio kao tinejdžer.
“Počašćena sam što sam s ocem i toliko boksačkih momaka primljena u New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Oni se razlikuju od ljudi u bilo kojem drugom sportu. Jedna od nagrada koje sam osvojio i na koje sam najponosniji je James J. Walker-ova memorijalna nagrada za dugo i zaslužno služenje boksa (BWAA u 1960).
“Imam sreću da sam nadišao razne ere u boksu. Tada je to bio drugi svijet, imali smo 20-30 književnici ostaju tjednima na trening kampovima. Upoznao sam stare boksače i trenere.”
