***“I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means,” – Ennis***

**PHILADELPHIA** (Duben 1, 2021) - Neporažený welterweight **Jaron “Boots” Ennis** will look to cement his status as a rising star in the welterweight division when he takes on rugged former world champion **Sergey Lipinets** in a 12-round battle that headlines action live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Duben 10 z Mohegan Sun Arena v Uncasvillu, Conn. in a Premier Boxing Champions event.

The 23-year-old Ennis will be facing the toughest competition of his career in Lipinets, as he enters the ring in his first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event. Representing the fighting city of Philadelphia, Ennis has used sublime boxing skills and power in both hands to make his claim as the city’s next great champion.

Ennis put together a 16-fight knockout streak that included becoming the first person to stop Juan Carlos Abreu when he blasted out the longtime challenger in the sixth round in August 2020. Ennis was unable to extend that streak in December 2020, when his fight against Chris van Heerden was declared a no-contest after round one due to a clash of heads causing a severe cut on Van Heerden’s forehead.

Trained by his father Bozy Ennis, Ennis shared his thoughts on training camp, Lipinets and more below:

***On headlining his first Showtime Championship Boxing card:***

“It has made my schedule a little crazier. Being in the main event on SHOWTIME brings more attention, but I like it. I like being in the spotlight. I like to shine, so it’s nothing new to me. Now it’s fight time. I am locked in and ready to rock and roll.”

***Na soustředění***:

“We always do four-minute rounds in camp. I’ve been doing that since I was a baby. That’s another reason why I don’t sit down when I fight, because I am so used to the four-minute rounds. The three-minute rounds go by real fast on fight night. One thing we added this camp was the underwater treadmill work.”

***On his final preparations:***

“The week before the fight, we are winding it down and sharpening up. It’s been a great training camp. I have been getting better and better each and every day, and I can’t wait to perform next Saturday.”

***On facing his first former world champion:***

"Je to dobrý bojovník, but it doesn’t mean anything to me. It’s just another day in the office. He’s a regular person just like anyone else.”

***On Sergey calling him a ‘typical Philly fighter’:***

“I guess he knows I’m tough, gritty and I’m ready to rumble. I’m coming there to take a win home to Philadelphia and look good doing it, by any means.”

***On his knockout power***:

“I don’t think I have my man strength yet. I feel it will be one or two more years until I fully have my man strength. The crazy part is, I feel like in a fight, I still haven’t thrown a real power shot and really sat down on a punch yet. Everything I’ve been knocking guys out with has been all natural strength.”

***On how he views his knockout streak***:

“Some people might look at a knockout on April 10 jako 17^th consecutive knockout, some might view it as the start of a new knockout streak. Pro mě, I don’t really care as long as I come out victorious. That’s all that matters to me. I’m not looking for a knockout but I’m going to take it if it comes.”

TOMMY SANTIAGO hledá MULTI-SPORT úspěch a ledvina pro tátu

Únor 28, 2020 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

*Fotbal standout, aby profesionální debut na březen 27 zatímco příběh jeho rodiny zůstává nedokončený*

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Tommy Santiago, standout high school fotbalová hvězda a dokonalý amatérský boxer, bude vstupovat do ringu na svůj první profesionální boje března 27 na 2300 Aréna, a jeho otec bude v koutě.

divákům, je to další otce a syna tým, slabě mnohem zajímavější, protože Tommy je druhý syn Santiago se obrátit pro. Brother Milton, Jr., je neporažený lehké.

Že Milton Sr., Můžete chodit po schodech nahoru a mávat ručníkem pro jeho syna popírá skutečný příběh — Ten o otci, který zemřel a byl přiveden zpět k životu méně než před rokem, který čeká na život změní volání. Je to příběh o matce, která táhne dvojí povinnost zajistit pro svou rodinu a péči o jejího manžela. Je to o synovi, marnotratný fotbalový talent, který obětoval svou pozici v top fotbalové vysoké školy, které pomohou udržet svou rodinu nad vodou, a nyní se vydává na profesionální boxerské kariéry. Je to příběh o svých minulých i současných bojů, a štěrk, odhodlání a víra, která viděl přes pomalý, broušení, vodní mučení ve stylu odkapávání bolesti a protivenství.

Před několika lety, Rodina Santiago přerostl svůj třípokojový dům. Se třemi dospívajících chlapců–Milton Jr., Tommy a mladý Nicco–jsou zabaleny svůj domov a přestěhoval se do ustalovače-horní na předměstí. Milton, Sr., byl nadaný malíř, který pracoval pro některé z nejprestižnějších stavitelů domů ve Filadelfii.

Máma Brenda pracovala v kuchyni gadget pro výrobní společnosti 20 léta, kde vylezla po žebříku, nosit různé klobouky a pomáhá zajistit pohodlný život pro svou rodinu.

Bylo to nedlouho poté, co jejich 2017 pohyb, který Milton Sr., začal všímat, že nebyl sám. V průběhu několika příštích let jeho zdravotní stav by se zhoršila. Jednou husky, aktivní malíř a boxerský trenér, on scvrklá pryč. Poté, co se odráží od lékaře do nemocnice, získal dvojí diagnózu selhání ledvin a infekci, která se šířila do morku kostí. Brenda šel od bytí pracující maminka na pracovní máma a pečovatele, probuzení Milton, Jr., k pomoci nést jeho otce k autu na 5:30 V každé ráno. Měla by ho jet na dialýze před zahájením prací, a pak časný oběd každý den, aby ho dostat domů.

Tommy se zapsal na Arcibiskupském Wood High School, soukromým, Katolická škola Warminster, PA, známý pro jeho elitní fotbalové programu; výuka byla $9,000 za rok. Byl hvězda běžet zpět, scoring 20 přistání a získal téměř 1700 yardů jako Junior. Jeho mladší bratr, standout basketbalista, zúčastnil také arcibiskup Wood.

Vozíčkář a neschopný chůze, pan Milton, bylo trapné jít do jeho synové’ hry. Brenda musela pomoci mu dostat se do koupelny a vyčistit ho. Milton Jr., dal svou kariéru v pořadí na pomoc péči o svého otce. Byla to temná doba pro celou rodinu; Účty byly hromadí jako Milton Sr., GOT nemocnější.

“byl jsem v rozpacích,” Milton, Sr., řekl té doby. “Byl jsem v depresi a já jsem přemýšlel, proč se to děje na mě a mou rodinu.”

loni v květnu, Milton, Sr., vešel postup pro biopsii nárůst plicích. Když přišel lékař z operačního sálu a požádal Brendu, zda by k němu připojili v konzultovat místnosti, věděla, že se něco pokazilo. Milton, Sr., přestal dýchat téměř dvě minuty v průběhu řízení a musel být resuscitován. Lékař varoval, že může dojít k trvalému poškození mozku.

Byla to země-otřesení moment pro celou rodinu.

“Byl to nejhorší moment mého života,” připomenout Tommy. “Když jsem vešel dovnitř a viděl tátu na jednotce intenzivní péče, věděl, že možná nikdy nebude stejná, Jen jsem začal plakat. Nemohl jsem to zvládnout.”

Po dvou dnech v lékařsky umělého spánku, Milton, Sr., začal zotavovat. Lékaři konečně našel tu správnou kombinaci antibiotik začít léčit infekci, která mu decimovala jeho tělo. Účinky řízení nadále vliv na jeho každodenní život. Nesnesitelnou bolestí hlavy na všech hodinách a krátkodobou ztrátou paměti se stal nový normál.

Po rekordním ročníku Tommyho, a poté, co viděl na stres, že jeho matka byla v rámci, Tommy se rozhodl. Vybral přenést do Williama Tennent High School–Také Warminster–řezání své rodiny školné účet na polovinu, ale prakticky zaručuje, že College nabízí on a jeho rodiče snil nikdy nepřijde.

“Moje máma mi řekla, že by se najít cestu, ale nechtěl jsem ji chtěl stresu,” řekl Tommy.

Brenda se bolelo, když se mluví o Tommyho odchodu ze dřeva: “Tommy je velmi silná, a že to trvalo hodně pro celou rodinu. Je to břemeno mám na mě, protože jsem chtěl být schopni dát jim vše. Milton je snem bylo pro Tommy jít do lesa – to zdevastovala Tommyho i nám, když musel převodem.”

Když se zotavil, Milton, Sr., naučil znovu chodit. Milton, Jr., stále spravuje otcově dialýze pětkrát týdně po dobu šesti hodin a čekají, které se přidávají do seznamu dárců ledvin. Boxy zařízení lemují zdi svého domova, a vylepšení, které měl v plánu na tom, aby do jejich domova i nadále pozastaveny.

“Milton nechce, abychom byli jeho dárcem,” řekla Brenda. “Já jsem živitel rodiny a nemůžu si dovolit být volno. Milton nechce děti ke kompromisu jejich sportovní kariéry. A po tom, co se stalo, když šel dolů v květnu, je tu spousta strachu. Takže čekáme.”

Její hlas přestávky, když se hovoří o dni, kdy se zjistí, dárce pro svého manžela, ale neuvádí, jak to bude trvat tlak mimo ni: “V den, kdy se to stane,, Budu u vytržení. Chce jen žít normální život. Chce být schopen dělat normální věci – práce, zajistit pro svou rodinu. I tak bude vděčný Bohu, že odpověděl na naše modlitby.”

“Znamenalo by to svět, aby mé rodině najít dárce,” řekl Tommy. “Všechno, co prošla, Dialyzační čtyři hodiny denně, Tři dny v týdnu… není to lehké. Máma zůstane až pozdě na to se o něj starat a vstává časně druhý den jít do práce. Nikdy se nevzdává.”

V příkladu Milton Sr., a Brenda si stanovili – jeden z oběti, mentální síla, a neuvěřitelné lásky a závazek k sobě navzájem a jeho rodina byla hluboce zakořeněná v jejich syny.

“Vidět vše, co prošli bylo těžké, ale to se mi chce jít tvrději,” řekl Tommy. “Já jen chci, aby bylo možné, aby svou rodinu do další úrovně.”

Má ambice bytí NFL hráč a profesionální boxer, současně. “Dostal jsem nabídku od Villanova,” Tommy řekl. “Já jsem se aplikuje v chrámu a Penn State a plánují jít na své fotbalové týmy, jestli jsem přijal.”

Ale nejdřív, další boj je na obzoru. Čtyři-kolo, light-heavyweight soutěž s Angelem Vasquez, Springfield, MA, března 27.

“Tommy mi řekl, že důvod, proč se mu líbí fotbal a box je, že má nenávist vnitřek, frustrace a vztek na všechno, co naše rodina prošla,” řekla Brenda. “Cítím se o dítě, co se děje v boji proti Tommy. Je těžké trénovat, a opravdu chce. On opravdu chce jít ven a dělat věci, – Chce pomoci rodině.”

Když Tommy Santiago odejde do ringu března 27, chodí s břemenem problémů své rodiny, ale se svým otcem po jeho boku. Když zazvoní zvonek, když uslyší jen otcův hlas ze svého kouta, a nová kapitola začíná ve složitém a bolestivým příběhu nerozbitného Santiago rodiny.

***Ennis-Eyubov Announced As Co-Main Event To Claressa Shields vs. Ivana Habazin On SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIÁLNÍ EDICE^® From Ocean Casino Resort In Atlantic City***

NEW YORK - prosinec 17, 2019 – Undefeated welterweight sensation Jaron Ennis will make his 2020 debut against hard-hitting Bakhtiyar Eyubov on Friday, Leden 10 live on SHOWTIME from Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City.

The 22-year-old Ennis (24-0, 22 KO) převezme Kazachstánu Eyubov (14-1-1, 12 KO) just an hour away from his hometown of Philadelphia in the 10-round co-main event of a SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION tripleheader that begins at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Two women’s blockbusters will bookend the welterweight bout. Claressa Shields (9-0, 2 KO) will take on Ivana Habazin (20-3, 7 KO) for the WBC and WBO 154-pound World Championships in a long-anticipated main event. V televizní vysílání otvíráku, WBA Super Middleweight Champion Alicia Napoleon Espinosa (12-1, 7 KO) meets IBF Champion Elin Cederroos (7-0, 4 KO) in a 168-pound world title unification.

The event is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with T-REX BOXING PROMOTIONS. The Napoleon-Espinosa vs Cederroos fight is promoted by Salita Promotions in association with DiBella Entertainment.

In Eyubov, Ennis will take on his toughest test to date as he looks to continue his rapid ascension in one boxing’s deepest divisions. The switch-hitter has scored 14 consecutive knockouts as has his level opposition has steadily increased since turning professional in 2016. He returned from a nine-month layoff in August of 2019 with a first round TKO of Franklin Mamani and followed that up with a third round TKO of Demian Fernandez on October 5. Against Fernandez, the come-forward and aggressive Ennis landed 43 percent of his power shots as he switched from orthodox to southpaw in a clinical performance in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIÁLNÍ EDICE.

Widely regarded as one of the top prospects in boxing, Ennis had two emphatic knockout victories on *ShoBox: Nová generace* v 2018. The Philadelphia native, kdo vlastní 10 first round knockouts and has yet to be pushed past the sixth round, was a standout amateur who won the 2015 National Golden Gloves was ranked as the No. 1 amateur at 141 pounds before turning pro.

“I’m coming to make another statement to the welterweight division and the world,” said Ennis. “I’m going to let them know that I’m here and that 2020 bude můj rok. I’m the future of this division and January 10 is the next step in proving that.”

The 33-year-old Eyubov, from Aktobe, Kazakhstan and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, is known for his relentlessly aggressive fighting style. Quickly making a name for himself in the welterweight division, Eyubov tore through his first ten professional opponents, knocking them all out within the first three rounds including a third-round stoppage of Jared Robinson on *ShoBox* v 2016. Eyubov also owns impressive wins over Nicholas Givan (21-2-1) and Karim Mayfield (21-5-1) but is winless in his last two outings, including a majority draw with Jose Luis Rodriguez and a unanimous decision loss to undefeated Brian Ceballo. With just 16 professional fights to his name since moving on from the amateur ranks in 2012, Eyubov is eager to turn heads with a career-defining win over the highly regarded Ennis.

“On January 10, Jaron Ennis is going to be in the hardest fight of his life,” Eyubov said. “He has never faced anyone with my strength, skills and will to win. Bakha Bullet will shoot to do damage in Atlantic City and hand Ennis his first loss.”

“The Ennis vs. Eyubov fight is a classic crossroads fight and a must-win for both fighters,” said Eyubov promoter Dmitriy Salita. “It’s a big test for Ennis, who is a slick, skilled boxer, and a potentially career-changing opportunity for the aggressive, powerful and formerly world-rated contender in Eyubov. We expect fireworks on January 10^th.

PELTZ BOXING: A LIFE-LONG LOVE STORY; J Russell Peltz Celebrates Half Century in Boxing

Září 19, 2019 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

PHILADELPHIA — Pro 50 léta, J Russell Peltz has lived and breathed boxing. Října 4, he will celebrate his Golden Anniversary as a Philadelphia promoter with an eight-bout card titled “Krev, Potit se & 50 Roky,” na 2300 Aréna. Vzhledem k tomu, Sept. 30, 1969, he’s been an institution in the city, providing a platform for hundreds, if not thousands of Philadelphia fighters to showcase their talent. He’s promoted over a thousand boxing events and over 40 world title bouts. For half a century, Peltz has ridden the roller coaster of small- and big-time boxing, with stops all over the world.

Peltz’ love for boxing has outlived mentors, parents, a sister, a son and a marriage. It’s been the constant throughout the entirety of his adult life, and a refuge from guilt, sadness and loss. It was the cane he used when he couldn’t stand, and the mountain from which he screamed his successes. It has been an enduring passion and a safe, faceless pool where he could pour out an immense amount of love, out loud, and without guilt or fear of judgement.

He has an savant-like ability to recall dates of fights, who was on every card, and what happened in every round. He remembers detailed 40-year-old stories, boje, conversations and events like they happened yesterday.

For his 14th birthday, his dad took him to his first fight and it was love at first bell. He knew he was going to be a part of the beautiful brutality of boxing. His mom refused to allow him to go to more fights; she didn’t want him to be part of “that element.” He would lie and say he was out with friends or at parties, then go to the fights. Eventually she relented, and his father took him to more fights. He would abandon a burgeoning sports journalism career and promote his first event on Sept. 30, 1969.

J Russell Peltz grew up in an upper middle-class family, moving from Philadelphia to the wealthy community of Bala Cynwyd on Philadelphia’s Main Line when he entered third grade. Jeho otec, Bernard Peltz, a plumber like his own dad, had expanded Peltz Plumbing to include heating and air-conditioning. By all measurements, his business was successful, catering to both residential repairs and large company and government installations. His father was beloved by his employees.

Peltz had a taste of the plumbing life over two summers in 1963 and ’64 and was decidedly bad at it. It was a disastrous endeavor for teenage Peltz, who was not mechanically inclined. One error resulted in the destruction of several oil paintings belonging to a wealthy client, and a large bill for his father to foot.

His father wasn’t much of a sports fan outside of boxing. Jeho otec, Peltz’ grandfather, was an avid fan and worked for Western Union. On fight nights, including during the Jack Dempsey vs. Gene Tunney fight in 1926 ve Philadelphii, he would be ringside, gathering updates and copy and communicating them to the wire services.

As Peltz tells it, jeho otec, like many parents of kids who came of age in the 50s and 60s, was not expressive with his emotions. “He was just not the kind of person,” Peltz began, then paused. “Any more than I am, that could show it. My mom was the emotional, loving one.”

What shines through when conversing with Peltz, is how much his parents loved each other. In a time where men were not supposed to cry, Peltz’s father, who he described as a “man’s man,” took care of his wife while she was sick for years with emphysema. “They were passionately in love,” řekl Peltz. “Things became rocky later, especially when my mother became sick, but he always loved her.

“She was so weak he would have to cut her meat and pre-chew it, so she would be strong enough to chew the rest of it,” remembers Peltz. “He would do those things and you could see that he loved her.”

After his mother passed away in 1975, Peltz found a box among her belongings: “When my mom died, I found a box of newspaper clippings of stories about me, some of which I’d never seen before. I knew she loved me.”

His father gave him an office to work from, and twice lent him money when Peltz needed a boost to get through a show or a bad year. If Peltz hadn’t been weighed down with remorse, he might have seen these gestures and support of his son’s boxing promoter career, of which he outwardly didn’t approve, as his father’s way of saying I love you.

A rift developed in the family when Peltz married his first wife, a non-Jewish girl, v 1969, against the wishes of his parents. This disagreement would color the remainder of their years together.

Na 72 let, Peltz looks back over those years and sees a selfish, immature version of himself, who didn’t treat his parents all that well. “I never had a mature relationship with my parents,” Peltz would say more than once. “I have terrible regrets about that.” His uncle had told him that his decision to marry his first wife was killing his mother, and Peltz believed him. The guilt is palpable as he describes his mother’s final days.

The bitterness he had felt at his parents’ reaction to his marriage and their nagging “get a real job” attitude toward his chosen profession put space in between them. After both had passed, pride and resentment quickly gave way to guilt and regret.

Nakonec, it was his sister’s home and then his parents’ home he’d go to when his first marriage fell apart. Every day he’d stop in and say hello to his father, who had built him an office over his plumbing company. His family’s foundation, which had been built on silent love and commitment, proved unyielding throughout the years.

It wasn’t long after his mother’s death that he met the woman who would become his current wife–a former classmate at Lower Merion High School. Peltz knew from their first date that he would marry Linda Sablosky. All the nagging feelings of doubt he had going into his first marriage were nowhere to be found. For someone who sees himself as unemotional and unexpressive, the enormity of his love and devotion to Linda from that first date until this day is evident. In four hours of interviews, it was when he spoke about Linda that he sounded the most fulfilled and uplifted.

“Family is everything to Linda,” řekl Peltz. “She brought together estranged cousins and other family members and she became very close to my father, calling him every day.

“If my mom had met Linda,” pokračoval, weeping softly, “she would have had a reason to live.”

Linda fit effortlessly into his boxing world. She would often attend events, traveling with Peltz. “Linda is the kind of person who can exist in any world, in any atmosphere, and everybody loves her.” Peltz said. “It helped me in boxing. People say, ‘How bad can he be? She married him!’

“Linda is never idle. She can fill up 24 hours a day. She’s the Queen of the Dollar Store. She can’t stand sitting around doing nothing. If Linda has 400 things to do and I only want to do 200 z nich, she says I’m boring.”

The two would have two sons, Matthew and Daniel. Matthew, the oldest, was interested in music and girls. He was a ‘Deadhead,’ the moniker bestowed upon Grateful Dead fans, and traveled with them for a summer. He eventually moved to Israel and became a Rabbi. He married and had four children.

Daniel was the athlete, participating in various sports, including a short amateur boxing career that Peltz hid from Daniel’s mother for a short period of time.

Peltz did his best to never miss a game. “He was always there for me,” said Daniel. “He traveled a lot, but he always made time for my sporting events. He didn’t miss a milestone.”

Peltz and his wife lost Matthew to a drug overdose in 2017. He was only 38. The pain in Peltz’ voice when he talks about the years they tried to save their son is heart-wrenching. Countless trips to rehab, broken promises and relapses litter the last years of their time together. He loved Matthew as hard and as completely as any parent could have, but the thief that is drug addiction took Matthew away from his parents, his brother and his children.

At his son’s funeral Peltz told the story of a bidding scandal that rocked the plumbing industry in Philadelphia when he was a kid. The story had hit the newspapers, and when he was able to get his hands on the article, he read every word, looking for his dad’s name among those involved, hoping and praying it wasn’t there. His voice cracks again as he retells it. “When I got to the bottom of the story, it listed all those companies involved in the fix… and his name wasn’t in there. I felt so proud.of him.

“So it’s just that I knew that Bernie Peltz provided a hard day’s work for a fair day’s wage. Thirty years later, I came home from work one day and Linda hands me the phone. Your son wants to talk to you. I said ‘What’s up Matt.’ He said ‘Dad, how come when the sports writers write about boxing promoters, they always write bad things like they cheat the fighters, they steal their money, they pay off the judges and the referees, they fix the rankings… but whenever they write about you,” he paused and sniffed heavily as tears fell, “they always write nice things. He finished by saying ‘that’s so cool.’ I didn’t realize it at the time but as the years went by I realized that my son felt the same way about me that I felt about my dad.”

Peltz carries the weight of his Linda’s pain in addition to his own at the loss of their son. “All Linda ever wanted was to be a mother. To be there when the kids came home from school,” Peltz recalled. “That’s what made losing Matthew so devastating for her. She questioned her ability as a mother.

“If Matthew had had any other mother,” Peltz said, his voice cracking with emotion, “he wouldn’t have made it to even 20.”

Peltz finds comfort in his grandchildren. “Pop Pop is very affectionate with the kids,” said Daniel, who has two daughters. “He has six grandchildren — he loves them and they adore him.”

V průběhu let, Peltz has brought many boxers into his inner circle, many of them becoming family. Osnel Charles, who fights on October 4, asked Peltz to be the co-best man in his wedding. He spoke at many hall-of-fame inductions, weddings and funerals over the past half century.

He talks about one of his more recent charges, Jason Sosa, with affection. One of the highest points in his long career was witnessing underdog Sosa stop Javier Fortuna to win a world title in 2016 v Pekingu, Čína.

“When that fight was over we walked back to the hotel,” he remembered. “Linda went up to the room because she was tired. I went into a bar in the hotel. One of these really modern neon lit bars. I sat at that empty bar and I felt so on top of the world. People back in the states are just getting the news and here I am in Beijing having a beer by myself and I felt so good. You know why? Mostly because at the time of my career that it happened. To win a world title like that, in a foreign land, coming from behind off the canvas, with no shot to win except by knockout…with Linda screaming and crying and she jumped up because she loves Jason. It was just like so great. Such a wonderful feeling. One of the highlights of my career. It’s not number one but it’s like 1A.”

Číslo jedna, dodal, was when his first charge, Bennie Briscoe, knocked out Tony Mundine in Paris in 1974: “That will always be number one. It was an eliminator. We were underdogs. It was my first trip to Europe and it was the biggest fight you could have without it being for the title. It was just such a wonderful night.”

His protege, Raging Babe Michelle Rosado, who is promoting “Láska, Potit se & 50 Roky,” is one of many who see Peltz as a father figure. His seven-year mentorship of Rosado will culminate in his passing the torch to his hardworking mentee. “Leaders build leaders. Because he doesn’t have an ego, and wasn’t inclined to protect his secrets at all costs like so many of his peers, he was able to mentor BAM [Brittany Rogers] and I and teach us the ropes. I’m honored that he trusts me to continue his legacy.” Peltz is known to brag about Rosado to his colleagues in the business. When he talks about her, his tone alternates between that of a proud father and professional respect and admiration. They may fight and scream but will always eventually reconcile like family so often does.

Peltz is ready to slow down after his 50th anniversary celebration. The changes to the sport have worn thin his desire to keep going. “It’s not the sport I fell in love with,” říká. “It’s not like it used to be. Guys just wanted to fight. If guys were within 10 pounds we had a fight.”

Října 4, he will wind down his matchmaking career with the kind of card that he’s become known for in Philadelphia over the last 50 léta. Tough, Philly versus Philly toss-up matches. The kind of card that drew him to boxing and kept him there for half a century.

These relationships, the ones that Peltz has with Linda, Daniel and his grandchildren, with Michelle, with Osnel Charles, Bennie Briscoe, Jason Sosa and countless other boxers–these relationships don’t happen by accident. They’re built on respect and on love. Love that isn’t screamed out loud, but is felt by actions. Love that is disguised as feeling proud, or as the weight of guilt and regret. A love that’s equal to or perhaps even more than that of his love for boxing. Boxing will always be the place where Peltz can love out loud, but his legacy will forever be the quiet way he loved those he touched over the past 50 léta.

Srpen 29, 2019 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

*Filadelfská boxerská komunita se spojila*

Padilla, který je propagován DiBella Entertainment, je neporažený v pěti bojích, vše prostřednictvím knockoutu, a je považován Peltzem a dalšími za budoucího mistra světa. Peltz bude sloužit jako dohazovač akce.

Bylo to skoro 20 let od doby, kdy Peltz obdržel ocenění Long and Meritorious Service od Americké asociace spisovatelů boxu a Filadelfské asociace spisovatelů sportu, následoval 2004 jeho uvedením do Mezinárodní boxové síně slávy. Zatímco jiní mohli uvažovat o odchodu do důchodu, Peltz dále propagoval více než 150 další události, čímž se jeho celkový počet propagovaných pořadů téměř zvýšil 1,000. Propagoval nebo společně propagoval více než 40 boje mistrovství světa.

Po zahájení kariéry jako sportovní redaktor Temple News–denní studentské noviny na Temple University–a poté na sportovním kopírovacím stole ve večerním a nedělním bulletinu, Peltz vyměnil ve svém psacím stroji za horskou dráhu, což je profesionální box.

“Nenapadá mě nikoho lepšího na propagaci mé oslavy 50. výročí,” řekl Peltz. “Během posledních několika let jsem mohl sedět na sedadle spolujezdce, zatímco Michelle řídila, a jsem nadšený, že s ní budu moci sdílet tuto speciální událost.

“Vypadá to, že jsem včera seděl před Blue Horizon v North Philly, prodej lístků z mého auta na moji první kartu poté, co byla pokladna na den zavřená. Odtud do staré arény ve West Philly, pak do The Spectrum v South Philly, byla to docela jízda. Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Evropa, Jižní Amerika, Orient–Nemůžu uvěřit, že je to už půl století.”

Atif Oberlton representing City of Brotherly Love all the way to the World Championships

Srpen 28, 2019 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Srpen 22, 2019) – There’s a new rising force on the international boxing scene and his name is Atif Oberlton, a light heavyweight from Philadelphia, who is on a mission to make a name for himself in boxing.

Oberlton will be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships, Září 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, Rusko.

Lacking confidence is not an issue for the 21-year-old boxer who claims, “It’s very important for me to do well and win at the Worlds, because I know for a fact that, in my heart, I’m the best fighter in the world. Also, I’m new on the international scene, so it’s time for me to give a piece of what they’ve been missing.”

Oberlton started boxing at the age of nine, although he didn’t start competing until he was 14, because he was the only boy in his family, and his father wanted him to learn how to defend himself. Like so many of his teammates, he fell in love with boxing.

In the last five years, Oberlton has captured gold medals at the 2018 a 2016 Národní Golden rukavice Tournament, 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier and 2014 National Junior Olympics. He also was a victor in the USA vs. Netherlands Dual.

“My greatest accomplishment so far is making Team USA and being where I’m at, because for years and years I was denied, and here I am today in the top spot where I belong. I’m a top-spot fighter, so I deserve it, and I put down top-notch work, také"

Overlton has taken advantage of training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, where he has shown improvement from day one, honing his skills to become a complete boxer.

“Conditioning plays a big part in my improvement; also seeing different styles, and getting top work has elevated me,” he spoke about training as a Team USA member. “I always break new barriers on the road to greatness and this (The Worlds) is another one I’m looking to smash through.”

In addition to representing his country, Oberlton is a proud Philly fighter continuing the long, rich boxing tradition in the City of Brotherly Love, which has produced the likes ofBernard Hopkins, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Mike Rossman,James Shuler, Eugene Hart and so many more great fighters over the years.

“My city is known for its great boxing history and I wear ‘The City of Philadelphia’ on my back,” Oberlton added. “In a few more years down the line, I see myself leading the next wave of Philly boxers. In fact, I feel like I am the wave, momentálně, as we speak. Everyone’s watching me. I will do them all proud, from both the old and young generations.

“I haven’t been to Russia and I’m looking forward to going there. It’s always good to see the world. I always like to go back where I’m from and try to convince others to see the world, because it’s much bigger than our neighborhood.”

Oberlton is like a chameleon in the ring, constantly changing and adjusting to his opponent. “I consider my style like water,” he concluded. “It’s wavy because I adjust to win, and I can beat any style. I can outsmart anybody, fighting mind over matter. Boxing is 80-percent mental, 20-percent physical, and I have it all.

“My short-term goal is to win gold at The Worlds and everything else leading to the Olympics. And winning no less than gold at the Olympics. My long-term goal is to be the greatest fighter to ever walk the universe.”

Confidence is definitely not a problem for Atif Oberlton.
