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

Leave a comment

ਟਾਲੀਡੋ, ਗੋਦ. (ਮਾਰਚ 9, 2020) – By any standards, U.S. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, ਸ਼ੁਕੀਨ ਅਤੇ ਪੇਸ਼ਾਵਰ.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, ਨ੍ਯੂ ਯੋਕ, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike ਟਾਯਸਾਨ ਅਤੇਸ਼ੈਨਨ ਬ੍ਰਿਗਜ਼, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਅਲੀ 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, ਕੰਪਾਇਲ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ 104-18 ਸ਼ੁਕੀਨ ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਨੂੰ, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, ਦੱਖਣ ਕੋਰੀਆ.

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 ਪੈਨ ਅਮਰੀਕੀ ਗੇਮਸ, 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, U.S ਵਿੱਚ. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedਰਾਏ ਜੋਨਸ, ਜੂਨੀਅਰ., ਰੇ ਮਰਸਰ, Kennedy McKinney ਅਤੇAndrew Maynard.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox ਲੇਵਿਸ, 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,"ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿChris 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 trainerਐਡੀ Futch ਉਸ ਦੇ ਕੋਨੇ ਵਿੱਚ, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO.

Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 ਕੋਸ) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 ਕੋਸ) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 ਕੋਸ) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (ਦੋ ਵਾਰ), Pinklon Thomas, ਟੋਨੀ Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes ਅਤੇHerbie 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.”

ਹੁਣ 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.

Below are quotes from the inductees, or those representing inductees, with pictures:

ਕਲਾਸ 2019



MARK BRELAND

ਮਰਕੁਸ 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 ਫਿੰਕਲ (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, ਮੈਨੂੰ ਜਿੱਤ, 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, ਤਸਵੀਰ): “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. ਇਸ ਲਈ, ਨੇ ਅੱਜ, 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

ਅਲ ਮਿਸ਼ੇਲ: “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. ਮੈਨੂੰ ਧੰਨ ਰਿਹਾ.

“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): “ਪਹਿਲੀ, 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, ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ (ਤਸਵੀਰ): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ, and thank you. ਰਾਤ, 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. ਪਰ, ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਮਹੱਤਵਪੂਰਨ ਹੈ, 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, Executive Director, USA Boxing 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, Al Valenti, ਯੂਹੰਨਾ Scully, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. ਇਸ ਲਈ, 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: ਪਹਿਲੀ, 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, ਅਨੁਸ਼ਾਸਨ, ਜਿੱਤ, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

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



ਅਲ 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.”

ਟਾਲੀਡੋ, ਗੋਦ.

“Our family believes our father would accept this award graciously as a very high honor,” daughterMegan McCain said on behalf of the McCain family. “The courage, character and action needed to step into the ring is something he felt very strongly about.

“He learned many life lessons through boxing, including the value of fitness, ਅਨੁਸ਼ਾਸਨ, individual performance training and operating as part of a team. Boxers run up against opposition they have no idea how to attack or defend against, yet they figure it out and learn about themselves, as well as develop endurance during the process.”

ਦੀ ਕਲਾਸ 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, ਲੁਈਸਿਆਨਾ

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

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 ਕੌਮੀ ਟਰਾਫੀ, ਦਸੰਬਰ. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, ਦਸੰਬਰ. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino. Hall of Fame broadcasterਅਲ 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 Foremanਅਤੇ “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesਅਲ ਮਿਸ਼ੇਲ ਅਤੇRay 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) (ਮੁਹੰਮਦ) ਹੋ, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ਹੈਰਾਨੀ ਦੀ, 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 ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਨੂੰ, ਸਮੇਤ 19 knockouts, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, ਜਰਮਨੀ, 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.

'ਤੇ 1984 ਓਲੰਪਿਕ, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick ਟੇਲਰ, Pernell ਵਿਟੱਕਰ, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman ਅਤੇTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 ਕੋਸ) ਰਿਕਾਰਡ ਨੂੰ, 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.”

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 ਕੋਸ) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, ਮਹਾਨ 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, 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: ਮੁੱਕੇਬਾਜ਼, official, trainer, administrator and, ਜ਼ਰੂਰ, ਕੱਟ ਆਦਮੀ. “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, “ਮੈਨੂੰ ਲੱਤ ਲੱਗੀ ਹੋਈ ਸੀ. 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 ਅਤੇ 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. ਹੋਰ, 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, ਸਲਾਹਕਾਰ, ਕੱਟ ਆਦਮੀ, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” ਨੇ ਟਿੱਪਣੀ 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 ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkansas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, ਵਿਸਕੋਨਸਿਨ, 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 ਸਾਲ, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, ਪਰ, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 ਓਲੰਪਿਕ ਸੋਨ ਤਮਗਾ ਜੇਤੂ Andrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 ਓਲੰਪਿਕ ਸੋਨ ਤਮਗਾ ਜੇਤੂ Frank Tate ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਭਰਾ ਨੂੰ ਥਾਮਸ, 1972 ਓਲੰਪੀਅਨ Tim Dement, 2002 ਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ Golden ਦਸਤਾਨੇ ਜੇਤੂ Jaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic Qualifier Jackie Beard, 1981 Junior Olympics Glen Modicue, four-time National champion Eric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion ਯੂਹੰਨਾ Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton ਅਤੇStephens brothers – Donald, Anthony ਅਤੇ ਜੈਰੀ.

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 ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ ਕਿ, “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 beatਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਅਲੀ 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, ਕੰਪਾਇਲ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ 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. ਪਹਿਲੇ ਦੌਰ '' ਚ, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (ਆਸਟਰੇਲੀਆ) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (ਰੂਸ) ਸੈਮੀਫਾਈਨਲ ਗੇੜ ਵਿਚ, 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, ਬਨਾਮHans 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 ਕੋਸ) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਅਲੀ, ਜਿੰਮੀ Ellis (ਦੋ ਵਾਰ), Bob ਪੋਸਣ, Oscar Bonavena(ਦੋ ਵਾਰ), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, ਡਗ ਜੋਨਸ, Eddie Machen ਅਤੇਜਾਰਜ 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.

We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13th."

ਕੋਟਸ & PICTURES FROM THE NYSBHOF INDUCTEES

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez and Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “I want to thank Ring 8 for the opportunity for me to be here. I’d also like to thank my wife for always being there for me, and my trainer.”

(L-R) – ਔਸ਼ਧ ਗੋਲਡਮੈਨ, Don Majeski and Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “If I have made any contributions to boxing – I hope I have – I did by redefining record keeping and creating a new perspective on boxing history. I’m proud of that, but I didn’t do it alone.”
(L-R) – ਜੋਅ Mesi, Jack Hirsch and Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “I have so many people to thank for this honor. I’m a Buffalonian. There’s nobody more in favor of one New York, but it’s not. This is special for me because it’s the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This solidifies me and makes me think I’m not just a local boy. There was a huge disadvantage coming from a small city, sparring wasn’t the same as in the gyms of New York City, but I had an advantage coming from Western New York. Nobody was welling out like we did in Buffalo with 10,000, ਫਿਰ 16,00 and finally 18,000 ਲੋਕ. They were always behind me and I share this with them because their support made me. My dream was to fight in Buffalo and to continue to fight there.
“One of the highlights of my life was fighting Monte Barrett on HBO in Madison Square Garden. He was one of the greatest fighters in the world who fought for the world title. I always wanted to get my world title shot, but I never got it. That’s okay, I was little bitter for a while, but I couldn’t be happier with my career. The best part of boxing is the brotherhood we share.

(L-R) – Randy ਗੋਰਡਨ, Ron Scott Stevens and Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “I know people always say it, but this is the truth: I owe so many people who have supported me throughout my career. Boxing has always been home away from home for me and today I feel like I’m home.
“ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸੀ, 30, living in Brooklyn Heights, and back driving a taxi a waiting on tables. A light went off in my head: boxing is the sport of the underdog and I’m an underdog. The next day I went to Gleason’s Gym – the center of the universe. I made my way around all the gyms in the city, meeting promoters, managers and trainers. I started making matches for promoters and then Cedric Kushner hired me from 1980-2002. ਵਿੱਚ 2002, I got a call to work for the New York State Athletic Commission as its Community Co-Ordinator and Director of Boxing. ਫਿਰ, I was made chairman and I served two terms. ਅੱਜ, I’m extremely proud to be part of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

(L-R) – Bob ਡਫੀ, ਹੈਨਰੀ Hascup, Bob Goodman and Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “I can’t believe this crowd. In order to do what we do, the sacrifices and support you get from your family is so important and (in Goodman’s case) was for so many years. They allowed us to do what we do. All of us love boxing!”

(L-R) – ਰੇ ਮਰਸਰ, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins and Bob Duffy
AL COLE: “I thought boxing was the stupidest and dumbest sport ever. Who wanted to get punched in the face? I started boxing late. I played around some and people said I was pretty good. I started boxing when I was 20, in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood. Four years later, I was on the Olympic Team. The reason why is I had a great sparring partner, ਰੇ ਮਰਸਰ. If I was going to be in the ring everyday with Ray, I was either going to get beat up, or get better.
“I remember Bob Arum giving me his business card. I didn’t know him. I only knew of three people in boxing: Don ਰਾਜਾ, ਮੁਹੰਮਦ ਅਲੀ ਅਤੇ ਖੰਡ ਰੇ Leonard. I didn’t follow boxing and the only reason I boxed was I would have had to sleep in the woods if I didn’t (in Army). Boxing is: hit him, before he hits me.”

(L-R) – ਬੌਬੀ Cassidy, ਜੂਨੀਅਰ, Jaime Drubin and Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “I want to thank the board. I’m going to be 70 and started in boxing when I was 18. It created a new direction in my life. I’m so proud to be in company with guys who didn’t just talk it, they loved it. If you really love this sport, you really have to learn it. Any man who stepped in the ring, plus all the roadwork, time in the gym and sacrificing what they eat, did it to be the best they can be.
“In boxing, you’re not going to win every fight, but whether a fighter wins or loses, if he gives 100-percent, he’s a winner. They work a job, run five miles day, workout at the gym, and then went home to spend time with his family. Friends and family always have your back.”

(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “I’m speechless. It’s wonderful. Randy (former NYSAC chairperson Gordon), do you remember this story? There were only three judges and, ਬਦਕਿਸਮਤੀ, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to workਅੱਜ ਰਾਤ. I said that I wasn’t licensed and couldn’t do it. Randy said, ‘Raise your right hand’, and it was on. I was thrown in there, but it was okay.
“My greatest accomplishments are my children and husband. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. ਅਤੇ Ralph Petrillo is part of my family; he was my second in command. I also had the best officials: deputy commissioners, inspectors, judges and referees. I wouldn’t be here with without them. Bob Duffy put this whole thing together. I personally think he’s amazing. My journey continues, I am blessed.”

(L-R) – Bob and Murray Goodman
ਨ੍ਯੂ ਯੋਕ (ਮਾਰਚ 26, 2018) – Boxing lifers Bob Goodman ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਦੇ ਪਿਤਾ ਨੂੰ, ਦੇਰ ਮੁਰੇ Goodman, are among 23 members of the Class of 2018 being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) 'ਤੇ ਐਤਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ ਦੁਪਹਿਰ (12:30-5:30 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. ਅਤੇ), ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 29.
The seventh annual NYSBHOF induction dinner will be held once again at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, ਨ੍ਯੂ ਯੋਕ.
A legendary boxing publicist, ਮੁਰੇ Goodman (Bronx) brought his son into the sweet science when Bob was only eight years old. The rest was historic for the Goodmans, who are both inductees in several Halls of Fame, including the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
“This is a great honor for me and my father,” Bob said. “I wish he were alive today to be there. I’m a boxing lifer. I was eight years old going to all the training camps with my father, who was a boxing writer and sports editor for the INS (Hearst News Service) ਸੇਵਾ. The joke is I was conceived at Grossinger’s (Catskill Resort Hotel training camp). Boxing just came into my life. My dad and I had some businesses in promotions and public relations, all different kinds of sports-related businesses, but there was always boxing.
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I was brought up doing the very things I loved. How many people can say that? I met and became friends with Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, ਖੰਡ ਰੇ Robinson, ਰਾਕੀ Graziano, Rocky Marciano and so many others. I’d stay in camps for weeks. I’d get up to run with the boxers and got a chance to be around my heroes. I also got to know trainers and others in boxing and later fans. I got to know everybody. I was brought up in boxing, my whole life was boxing, 65 years in the business.”
Bob is, ਸ਼ਾਇਦ, best known as Vice President and Matchmaker for Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), as well as a quarter-century serving as Vice President of Boxing Operations, Matchmaker and Director of Public Relations for Don King Productions. He also promoted many world champions as President of his own company, Garden State Boxing.
“I remember going away to training camps for weeks at a time,” the 78-year-old Goodman fondly remembered. “I’d take pictures, write stories every day and use my telecopier to send them to AP and UPI. I did so much being brought up un the business, even loading trucks up with chairs, ਰਿੰਗ, speakers and more. My father was the Publicity Director for the International Boxing Club at Madison Square Garden. I worked there when I was a teenager.
“I’m honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame with my father and so many boxing guys. They’re different from people in any other sports. One of the awards I’ve won that I’m most proud of is the James J. Walker Memorial Award for Long and Meritorious Service to Boxing (BWAA in 1960).
“I’m fortunate to have transcended various eras in boxing. It was a different world back then, we had 20-30 writers stay for weeks at training camps. I got to know old-time boxers and trainers.”
