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

Zanechať komentár

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (Marec 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, amatérske a profesionálne.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson aShannon Briggs, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingMuhammad 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, kompilácie 104-18 amatérsky záznam, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Južná Kórea.

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 Games, 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, v U.S.. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney aAndrew Maynard.

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,"PovedalChris 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.”

USA Boxing Alumni Association

Vytvorené tak, aby bojovalo po celý život, vzájomne prospešné vzťahy medzi USA Boxing a jeho absolventmi, –boxerky, úradníci, tréneri a fanúšikovia boxu — Alumni Association spája generácie šampiónov, inšpiratívne a vrátenie budúcim boxerským šampiónom USA Boxing, dovnútra a von z kruhu.

With legendary trainerEddie Futch vo svojom kúte, 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 KO) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 KO) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 KO) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (dvakrát), Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes aHerbie 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.”

Teraz 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.

1988 Zlatý medailista z olympijských hier „Nemilosrdný“ Ray Mercer sa obzerá za svojimi olympijskými skúsenosťami

Zanechať komentár

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klin. (Február 11, 2020) -Tridsaťdva rokov potom, čo získal zlatú olympijskú medailu, „Nemilosrdný“ Ray Mercer rád spomína na svoje olympijské skúsenosti, ako by to bolo minulý mesiac. Mercer, ktorý je jediným americkým šampiónom v ťažkej váhe, ktorý knokautoval všetkých svojich olympijských súperov, sa stal majstrom sveta v ťažkej váhe ako profesionál pre „dvojníka v ťažkej váhe“.

Pre Mercera, všetko sa to začalo v Nemecku, kde je jeho USA. Armádna jednotka mala základňu. Ponúka šancu vyhnúť sa 30-dňovému cvičeniu v teréne, Mercer prijal ponuku slúžiť ako sparing partner šampióna v boxe v ťažkej váhe. Napriek tomu, že ste si nikdy predtým nedali rukavice, Mercer sa rýchlo učil a bol prirodzene silný, a rýchlo sa vyvinul do 1985 U.S.. Armádny a medziútvarový šampión v ťažkej váhe.

Program športovcov svetovej triedy (WCAP), v ktorom kvalifikovaní športovci majú možnosť trénovať na olympiádu naplno, vtedy neexistovalo, ani dnešné olympijské kvalifikačné pravidlá. Mercer porazil budúceho majstra sveta v ťažkej váheTommy Morrison v úvodnom kole 1988 Olympijské skúšky a ďalší budúci svetový titlista v ťažkej váhe, Michael Bentt (5-0) vo finále majstrovstiev. Na 1988 Box na olympijské hry USA v známom Caesars Pala

čo v Las Vegas, Mercer vyhral rozdelené rozhodnutie (3-2) o Benttovi, ale Mercer sa už kvalifikoval na boj na olympijských hrách tým, že bol USA. Šampión ozbrojených síl.

"Keď som bol v armáde.", V službe som musel vyhrať, udržiavať veci, a prejdite na ďalší krok,"Mercer si spomenul. "Cestou na olympijské hry som musel poraziť niekoľko dobrých bojovníkov.", a bol som v najlepšej forme svojho života. V ochotníkoch bola väčšia disciplína ako v profesionálnych radoch. Posledný rok pred olympiádou, Opustil som svoju domácu jednotku, veľa cestoval, aby bojoval, a zostal som v dome môjho trénera, namiesto toho, aby som žil v kasárňach.

Mercer sa zapísal do histórie na 1988 Olympiády v Soule, Južná Kórea, keď sa stal a zostáva jediným olympijským víťazom v ťažkej váhe zo Spojených štátov, ktorý knokautoval všetkých štyroch svojich súperov:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Československo - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Taliansko - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Holandsko - RSC2) aDobrý Hyun-Man (Juhokórejský - KO1).

"Vedel som, že musím vo finále knockoutovať Juhokórejčana.",“Priznal Mercer. "Chcel som urobiť všetko pre to, aby som bol zlatým olympijským víťazom." Nemyslím si, že som použil úder.

„Získanie zlatej olympijskej medaily pre mňa znamenalo niekoľko veľkých zmien. Stal som sa celebritou, meno domácnosti, a to mi umožnilo zarobiť si peniaze ako profesionál. Najlepšie, čo sa mi kedy stalo, bolo získať zlatú olympijskú medailu, dokonca viac ako zisk titulu majstra sveta ako profesionála. Nič sa nevyrovná tomu, aby ste sa stali zlatými olympijskými medailistami. Splnil som si sen. Nikdy som nesníval o tom, že sa stanem profesionálom, až potom, čo som získal zlatú medailu.

"Bolo skutočne dôležité získať túto zlatú medailu." Bojoval som srdcom; nešlo o žiadne peniaze, tú noc oslavoval tak tvrdo (po zisku zlatej medaily) že som na niekoľko hodín prišiel o medailu. Splnil sa mi sen, triasli sa mi ruky, a prišiel som o medailu. Čo noc!"

Mercer ponúka členom skupiny 2020 USA, boxerský kvalifikačný tím, jedna rada, "Pokračovať v boji, nasleduj svoj sen a urob ten posledný krok. “

Mercer, ktorý sa narodil v Jacksonville, Florida, debutoval v. v 1989, zastavenieJesse McGhee v treťom kole svojho boja v Atlantic City. „Nemilosrdný“ vyhral svoje prvé 18 Pre boje, vrátane knockoutu v deviatom kole zFrancisco Damiani, nasleduje úspešná obrana proti Morrisonovi, ktorý bol zastavený v piatom kole.

Počas svojej 19-ročnej profesionálnej kariéry, Mercer zostavil a 36-7-1 (26 KO) záznam, v Damiani porazil štyroch majstrov sveta, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon aOssie Ocasio.  Päť z jeho ôsmich prehier v kariére bolo pre majstrov sveta: Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield aShannon Briggs. 

"Ray predstavuje všetko, na čo je USA Boxing hrdý.","PovedalChris Cugliari, USA Association Boxing Alumni Association. "Ako armádny veterán.", Olympijský víťaz, a majster sveta v ťažkej váhe, preukázal excelentnosť a profesionalitu, ktorá odráža to najlepšie, čo USA Boxing môže ponúknuť. “

Mercerova vynikajúca amatérska boxerská kariéra zahŕňala aj klasický zápas proti kubánskemu veľkému a trojnásobnému zlatému olympijskému medailistovi, Felix Savon, v USA vs.. Dvojzápas na Kube, v ktorom Mercer dvakrát potácal Savona, ktorí prežili bez ďalších škôd len preto, že kubánsky rozhodca vykonal diskutabilný zákrok, ktorý dal jeho krajanovi čas na zotavenie a kontroverzný 2-1 víťazstvo.

"A dal mi stojaceho osemnásobku bez dôvodu.",“Dodal Mercer. "Porazil som toho chlapa a on to vie." Sme stále v kontakte, aj keď nehovorí anglicky. Má preloženého priateľa a sme v kontakte na Facebooku. Máme sa radi. ”

Ray Mercer dvakrát dosiahol zenit v boxe ako zlatý olympijský medailista a majster sveta v ťažkej váhe ako profesionál. Nie príliš ošumelé pre niekoho, kto nikdy nechcel boxovať.

"Box mi zachránil život.",“Uzavrel Mercer. "Neviem si predstaviť svoj život bez boxu, určite by to nebolo to isté.

One of boxing’s most popular and larger-than-life personalities who fights in its resurgent glamor division, Briggs’ self-made brand and boxing acumen has helped him land several world title fights since 1998. Júna 3, the 45-year-old Briggs will bring a five-fight knockout streak into the ring as he attempts to make history by matching the likes of two-time world heavyweight champion George Foreman. The oldest heavyweight champion ever, Foreman won his final heavyweight championship at the age of 45.
“Fighting for the WBA Heavyweight Championship against Fres Oquendo is a wonderful opportunity and true privilege,” said Briggs. “Being able to fight at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasíno, in front of my hometown fans and right in my backyard is extremely exciting. I’m working very hard right now with some great sparring partners that are pushing me to the limit. Fight night will be a long one for Fres Oquendo. I want to dedicate this fight to my children, moja rodina, all of my fans and to all of the people around the world who have suffered from depression. I’m living proof that you can make it. Don’t give up. LET’S GO CHAMP!”
Returning to the ring after a disputed defeat to Ruslan Chagaev in a 2014 boj o majstrovský titul, Oquendo is co-promoted by future Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr.’s Square Ring Promotions and Hitz Boxing as he looks to become the first heavyweight champion from Puerto Rico since John Ruiz in 2001.
“This will be a great fight between two veteran American fighters,” Said Oquendo. “I’ve fought in Miami five times, viac, I train at the historic 5th Street Gym in Miami Beach, so I’m very comfortable here. The trials and tribulations I’ve encountered for 30 years in this sport and 20 ako profesionálny, are finally coming to fruition. They say third time is the charm, but the fourth is the holy grail and the most special. I’m dedicating this fight to Jaxon King, my friend’s son who just passed away at five years of age. I’m also doing this for my mentor, Muhammad Ali. Winning his belt on the anniversary of his passing will be special. I’m going to borrow the belt for a bit and give it back when I’m done beating Shannon.”
Less than 30 miles from the Miami Beach Convention Center that hosted the 1964 Fight of the Year between Muhammad Ali and Sonny Liston, Briggs and Oquendo will look to ignite the passions of the rabid boxing fans in South Florida as they seek a piece of the championship crown and move closer to the ultimate goal of unifying the heavyweight division.
“We’re extremely excited about bringing this WBA Heavyweight World Championship fight to Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Kasíno,” said Kris Lawrence, founder of The Heavyweight Factory. “We’re really proud of Shannon Briggs, who has a chance to tie George Foreman’s record and become a champion for a third time. It is truly amazing for a heavyweight like Shannon to have lasted and preserved himself for so long. He was champion in two different decades. First in 1997 a potom sa 2006. Now in 2017, he has the chance to do it again. We hope to see everyone coming out and supporting Shannon Briggs the night of the fight, as he is the ‘People’s Champ.’ LET’S GO CHAMP!”
Briggs has made South Florida his home and training camp for much of his career. He will be making his fourth start at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and his ninth in the state.
