One of the best all-time…. 1988 Olympic silver medalist Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe

COLORADO SPRINGS, Etapas. (Kovas 9, 2020) – By any standards, Ne JAV. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, mėgėjų ir profesionalų.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, Niujorkas, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike'as Tysonas irŠanonas Briggs, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingMuhammadą Ali did,” Bowe explained why he got into boxing. “He was my idol. I wanted to join the Marines, but I fell in love with boxing and stayed with it. I forgot about the Marines.”

Bowe developed his craft and became an outstanding boxer, Sudarant 104-18 mėgėjų įrašas, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Pietų Korėja.

A four-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bowe also captured top honors at the 1986 Junior World Championships, along with a bronze medal at the 1987 Pan American Žaidimai, despite fighting in his final match with a fractured hand he hid from his coaches.

Bowe had a rivalry withRobert Salters, with whom he split four matches, but he defeated Salters, 3-2, į Ne JAV. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jaunesnysis., Ray Mercer "Kennedy McKinney irAndrew Maynardas.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox Lewis, who returned home with the Olympic gold medal. During his fight with Lewis, Bowe was deducted a point for a “ghost” head butt that never happened, and the referee gave Bowe a pair of disputed standing-eight counts, the last of which resulted in the stoppage of the fight in Lewis’ favor.

“That fight never should have been stopped,” Bowe commented. “I’m still happy about winning a silver medal. I still have it. And then I turned pro. My mother had 13 kids and I wanted to make my mother happy. I wanted to buy her a house. That’s what inspired me to box.”

“Bowe’s success as an amateur and professional has made him a household name amongst USA Boxing Alumni,"SakėChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His combination of power and skill, along with his legendary battles with other USA Boxing Alumni at the pro ranks, establishes him as one of the greatest fighters that USA Boxing has ever produced.”

With legendary trainerEddie Futch jo kampe, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF ir WBO.

Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 Kos) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 Kos) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 Kos) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (dvigubai), Pinklon ThomasTonis TubbsBruce SeldonMichael Dokes irHerbie Hyde.

Bowe later avenged his lone pro loss to Holyfield, winning two of three fights with the “Real Deal.”

“I’m very happy with my pro career,” Bowe added. “I beat Holyfield two times and I think it should have been three. I’m not a sore loser, but I was the World heavyweight champion. How did he win that fight? The challenger needs to take the belt from the champion, and he didn’t do that. I thought I won by a point, at worst, maybe it should have been a draw, but I shouldn’t have lost the fight. I did become the first to ever knockout Holyfield. My pro career wasn’t too bad. I kept working hard and became two-time World heavyweight champion.”

Dabar 51 and living in Maryland, Bowe has some advice for the American boxers trying to qualify for the 2020 Team USA Boxing Olympic Team.

“Just don’t think about it,” stressed Bowe, sounding like a Nike commercial. “Just do it! It worked for me. I showed up and didn’t think about it. And always finish strong.”

Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015, left his mark in amateur and pro boxing. Nobody can ever take that away from the big guy from Brownsville.

KLASĖ 2019



MARK BRELAND

Pažymėti 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, Aš laimėjau, 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, nuotraukoje): “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.He said, 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. Taip, šiandien, 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 ‘SmokinJoe 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. Aš palaiminta.

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): “Pirmas, 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, Vykdantysis direktorius, JAV Boksas (nuotraukoje): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, ačiū, and thank you. Šįvakar, 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 ringI include myself in thatwe’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. Bet, dar svarbiau, 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 Cugliari, Vykdantysis direktorius, JAV bokso absolventų asociacija: “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, Jonas Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. Taip, 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: Pirmas, 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, disciplina, pergalė, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“Šįvakar, the story will be told. Šįvakar, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, treneriai, pareigūnų, doctorsthey’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.

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 withEvanderis (Holyfieldas) (MahometasAr, Meistras, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ironiškai, 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 įrašas, įskirtinai 19 Knockouts, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Vokietija, 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.

Šiuo 1984 Olimpinės žaidynės, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammatesPaul GonzalezSteve McCroryMeldrick TaylorPernell WhitakerJerry Page,Frank TateHenry Tillman irTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 Kos) įrašas, 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, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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.”

“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.”

Sen. John McCain 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: boksininkas, official, treneris, administrator and, žinoma, supjaustyti vyras. “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, “Buvau užsikabinęs. 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 ir 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. Daugiau, 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, mentoriaus, supjaustyti vyras, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” komentavo Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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 gimimo diena.

klasė 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luizianos

COLORADO SPRINGS, Etapas. (Lapkritis 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, vėlu, puikus“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, penktadienio naktis, Gruodis 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luizianos.

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, Gruodis. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luizianos. 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 ForemanirPažymėti Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches"Al Mitchell irRay 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 sakė, “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 beatMuhammadą 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, Sudarant 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBusteris Mathisas, 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 qualifierBusteris Mathisas 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. Atidarymo turo, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australija) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusija) į pusfinalio etapą, 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, priešHans 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 ofMuhammadą AliJimmy Ellis (dvigubai), Bobas Fosteris, Oscar Bonavena(dvigubai), Jerry Quarry, MathisDoug JonesEddie Machen irGeorge'as 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,“PridėtaChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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 13oji."

JOE MESI: “Turiu tiek daug žmonių padėkoti už šią garbę. Aš bufonietis. Niekas daugiau nepalaiko vieno Niujorko, bet taip nėra. Tai man ypatinga, nes tai yra Niujorko valstijos bokso šlovės muziejus. Tai mane įtvirtina ir priverčia manyti, kad nesu tik vietinis berniukas. Iš mažo miesto kilo didžiulis trūkumas, sparingas nebuvo tas pats, kas Niujorko sporto salėse, bet turėjau pranašumą iš Vakarų Niujorko. Niekam nesisekė, kaip mes su Bufalu 10,000, tada 16,00 ir, galiausiai 18,000 žmonės. Jie visada buvo už manęs, ir aš dalinuosi tuo su jais, nes mane palaikė jų palaikymas. Mano svajonė buvo kovoti Bafale ir tęsti kovą ten.
“Vienas svarbiausių mano gyvenimo momentų buvo kovos su Monte Barrett per HBO laidą Madison Square Garden sode. Jis buvo vienas didžiausių kovotojų pasaulyje, kovojusių dėl pasaulio titulo. Aš visada norėjau gauti savo pasaulio čempiono titulą, bet niekada nesupratau. Tai gerai, Kurį laiką buvau šiek tiek karti, bet negalėčiau būti laimingesnė dėl savo karjeros. Geriausia bokso dalis yra brolija, kuria dalijamės.

(L-R) – Randy Gordonas, Ronas Scottas Stevensas ir Bobas Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “Žinau, kad žmonės visada tai sako, bet tai yra tiesa: Esu skolingas tiek daug žmonių, kurie mane palaikė per visą savo karjerą. Boksas man visada buvo ne namuose, o šiandien jaučiuosi lyg būčiau namie.
“Buvau 30, gyvenantis Brooklyn Heights, ir atgal važiuodamas taksi, laukiančiu ant stalų. Galvoje užgeso šviesa: boksas yra nepakankamo sportininko sportas, o aš - nepakankamas. Kitą dieną nuėjau į „Gleason's Gym“ – visatos centras. Aš apėjau visas miesto sporto sales, susitikimų vykdytojai, vadybininkai ir instruktoriai. Pradėjau rengti rungtynes ​​rengėjams, o tada mane pasamdė Cedricas Kushneris 1980-2002. Į 2002, Gavau kvietimą dirbti Niujorko valstijos sporto komisijoje kaip jos bendruomenės koordinatorius ir bokso direktorius. Tada, Buvau paskirtas pirmininku ir dirbau dvi kadencijas.

Į MOKYKLĄ: “Maniau, kad boksas yra kvailiausias ir kvailiausias sportas. Kas norėjo pataikyti į veidą? Boksuoti pradėjau vėlai. Aš žaidžiau aplink kai kuriuos, ir žmonės sakė, kad man gana gera. Boksuoti pradėjau būdamas 20, kariuomenėje, įsikūręs Ft. Gaubtas. Po ketverių metų, Buvau olimpinėje komandoje. Priežastis, kodėl turėjau puikų partnerį, Ray Mercer ". Jei kasdien būčiau ringe su Ray, Aš arba ketinau sumušti, ar pasveikti.
“Pamenu, Bobas Arumas davė man savo vizitinę kortelę. Aš jo nepažinojau. Bokse žinojau tik tris žmones: Don King, Muhammadą Ali ir Cukrus Ray Leonard. Nesekiau bokso ir vienintelė priežastis, dėl kurios boksavausi, būtų buvusi turėjusi miegoti miške, jei ne (armijoje). Boksas yra: trenk jam, kol jis nepataikė į mane.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr, Jaime Drubin ir Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Noriu padėkoti lentai. Aš būsiu 70 ir pradėjo boksą, kai buvau 18. Tai sukūrė naują mano gyvenimo kryptį. Aš labai didžiuojuosi būdamas draugijoje su vaikinais, kurie ne tik kalbėjo, jiems tai patiko. Jei jums tikrai patinka šis sportas, jūs tikrai turite to išmokti. Bet kuris žmogus, įžengęs į ringą, plius visi kelio darbai, laiko sporto salėje ir aukojant tai, ką jie valgo, padarė tai, kad būtų kuo geresni.
“Bokse, neketini laimėti kiekvienos kovos, bet ar kovotojas laimi, ar pralaimi, jei jis duos 100 proc, jis yra nugalėtojas. Jie dirba darbą, bėgti penkis mylius per dieną, treniruotė sporto salėje, o paskui grįžo namo praleisti laiko su šeima. Draugai ir šeima visada turi tavo nugarą.”

MELVINA LATHAM: “Aš be žado. Nuostabu. Randy (buvęs NYSAC pirmininkas Gordonas), ar prisimenate šią istoriją? Buvo tik trys teisėjai ir, deja, vienas paskambino sergantis. Aš sėdėjau žiede be jokių pareigų. Rendis sakė, kad turiu dirbtišįvakar. Aš sakiau, kad neturiu licencijos ir negaliu to padaryti. - pasakė Rendis, „Pakelkite dešinę ranką“, ir jis buvo įjungtas. Mane ten įmetė, bet tai buvo gerai.
“Didžiausi mano pasiekimai yra mano vaikai ir vyras. Negalėčiau paprašyti geresnės situacijos. Ir Ralfas Petrillo yra mano šeimos dalis; jis buvo mano antrasis vadovaujantis. Aš taip pat turėjau geriausius pareigūnus: komisaro pavaduotojai, inspektoriai, teisėjai ir teisėjai. Aš be jų čia nebūčiau. Bobas Duffy sujungė visą šį dalyką.

Juokas, kad aš buvau sumanyta „Grossinger“ („Catskill Resort Hotel“ treniruočių stovykla). Boksas tiesiog atsirado mano gyvenime. Mes su tėčiu turėjome keletą akcijų ir viešųjų ryšių verslų, visų rūšių su sportu susijusius verslus, bet visada buvo boksas.
“Aš esu pats laimingiausias vaikinas pasaulyje. Aš buvau auklėjama darant tuos dalykus, kuriuos mylėjau. Kiek žmonių gali tai pasakyti? Susipažinau ir susidraugavau su Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Cukrus Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano ir tiek daug kitų. Aš stovėčiau stovyklose savaitėmis. Atsikėliau bėgti su boksininkais ir gavau galimybę pabūti šalia savo herojų. Taip pat susipažinau su bokso treneriais ir kitais bei vėliau gerbėjais. Aš pažinau visus. Mane auklėjo boksas, visas mano gyvenimas buvo boksas, 65 metų versle.”
Bobas yra, galbūt, geriausiai žinomas kaip Madisono aikštės sodo viceprezidentas ir piršlys (1985-1994), taip pat ketvirčio amžiaus eina bokso operacijų viceprezidento pareigas, Piršlys ir „Don King Productions“ viešųjų ryšių direktorius. Jis taip pat paaukštino daugelį pasaulio čempionų kaip savo įmonės prezidentą, Sodo valstybinis boksas.
“Pamenu, kelias savaites eidavau į treniruočių stovyklas,” mielai prisiminė 78 metų Goodmanas. “Norėčiau fotografuoti, rašykite istorijas kiekvieną dieną ir naudokitės savo telekopijuokliu, norėdamas jas siųsti į AP ir UPI. Aš tiek daug padariau auklėdamas verslą, net kraunant sunkvežimius su kėdėmis, žiedas, garsiakalbiai ir dar daugiau. Mano tėvas buvo tarptautinio bokso klubo Madison Square Garden srities reklamos direktorius. Dirbau ten, kai buvau paauglė.
“Man didelė garbė būti įtrauktam į Niujorko valstijos bokso šlovės muziejų su savo tėvu ir tiek daug bokso vaikinų. Jie skiriasi nuo kitų sporto šakų žmonių. Vienas iš mano laimėtų apdovanojimų, kuriuo labiausiai didžiuojuosi, yra Jamesas J. Walkerio atminimo apdovanojimas už ilgametį ir nusipelniusį darbą boksui (BWAA 1960).
“Man pasisekė, kad bokse peržengiau įvairias epochas. Tada tai buvo kitas pasaulis, mes turėjome 20-30 rašytojai savaites išbūna treniruočių stovyklose. Pažinau senų laikų boksininkus ir trenerius.”
