(Л-Р) – CES Boxing promoter Jimmy Burchfield, Мицки Вард, former N.E. amateur standout Calvin Brown, Vinny Paz and Al Valenti, Америчко удружење бивших боксера, Special Projects Consultant


ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Фебруар 26, 2019) – USA Boxing Alumni Association’s tribute this past weekend to two of New England’s all-time greatest amateur boxers, Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Paz и “Ирски” Мицки Вард, was a major success at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Рходе Исланд.

A sold-out fundraiser to benefit the USA Boxing Alumni Association was held at Fred & Steve’s Steakhouse on Friday evening, honoring Paz and Ward, in addition to Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, who officiated numerous fights for both fighters.

Paz and Ward held a meet-and-greet Saturday night, prior to a CES Boxing event, as the popular boxers signed autographs and posed for pictures. They were brought into the ring, along with Smoger, and received a standing applause from the large crowd in attendance.



USA Boxing Alumni Association’s back-to-back nights at Twin River raised $3,000 (including proceeds from Sportsworld’s memorabilia auction) and added 20 new alumni members, including Paz, to its growing ranks.

“We were part of a magical weekend,” рекао Al Valenti, USA Boxing Special Projects Consultant. “Vinny and Micky greeted so many of their fans. It is without question that these two warriors define what the USA Boxing Alumni Association is all about: bringing together so many members from so many years past that built the future for so many young boxers. It was especially rewarding to see past boxers, coaches and officials flock to Vinny and Micky. The entire two-day experience at Twin River Casino was packed with memories that we will all hold onto for years to come. We’d like to thank Јимми Бурцхфиелд (CES Boxing) for his hospitality and hosting Saturday evening’s event.”

Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger successfully transitioned from amateur to pro boxing

Оставите коментар

 

 

ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Јун 13, 2018) — Hall of Fame referee Стеве “Double S” Smoger, arguably the most recognizable and respected official in boxing history, holds the unique distinction of officiating in more states and countries than any of his peers.

 

 

 

Smoger ranks among the top six all-time, До Нот. 2 Американац, in terms of most pro boxing matches officiated (1015), including an incredible 220 world time matches. He has been a referee in some of the greatest boxing matches ever – Vernon Forrest-Shane Mosley, Bernard Forrest-Felix Trinidad, Kelly Pavlik-Jermain Taylor, Рои Јонес, Jr.-Hopkins, Micky Ward-Emanuel Burton, Andre Ward-Carl Froch and Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito II among the most notable.

 

 

 

Такође, Smoger has refereed matches featuring a Who’s Who of Boxing: Мајк Тајсон, Леннок Левис, Ларри Холмес, Евандер Холифиелд. Роберто Дуран, Hector Camacho Sr., Јамес Тонеи, Мике МакКаллум, Винни Паз, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Артуро Гатти, Феликс Тринидад, Дијего Цорралес, Генадиј Головкин, Lucia Rijker, Christy Martin and so many others..

 

 

 

In addition to the International Boxing Hall of Fame, Smoger has also been inducted into four other Hall of Fames in New Jersey, Пенсилванија, Philadelphia and Atlantic City.

 

 

 

As a youngster, Smoger got hooked on boxing, primarily because his father was an “awesome fan”, who religiously watched the popular Friday night boxing series, Gillette Cavalcade of Sports, with his son. Steve’s father told him that boxing was the last version of will and skill, one-on-one, to determine the better man that night.

 

 

 

Smoger said he was too small to play football, too short for basketball, so he became a cross-country runner in high school. A friend invited Smoger to the local YMCA in New Jersey to get checkout its boxing program. Only one day working with a pro boxer was enough for Steve to realize that being a boxer wasn’t for him. But he still loved boxing.

 

 

 

After he started refereeing amateur matches in southern New Jersey and Delaware, Smoger got the break of his life that dramatically changed his life. “Everything in life is timing,” Smoger explained. “The gentleman who gave George Foreman the small American that he proudly waved after winning a gold medal at the 1968 Олимпијске игре, Pat Duffy, opened a gym in southern Jersey. I told him that I wanted to train as a referee. I trained under the great Frank Cappuccino and then had to honor to train with Zach Clayton. He trained to music so referees moved without being herky-jerky. У 1978, I started officiating then-AAU boxing and worked out of the Atlantic City PAL gym, which remains a vibrant amateur boxing club. I’m still there 40 years later, serving on its Board of Directors, and I’m also its legal counsel.

 

 

 

“Онда, the boxing gods shined on me. Casinos were coming to Atlantic City in 1978 and boxing was involved at all the casinos there. I was the district attorney in Atlantic City, so after work I went to the PAL gym to workout with the kids. Jednog dana, the phone rang in the gym. Nobody else was there, so I answered. It was the New Jersey Boxing Commissioner, ‘Jersey’ Joe Walcott, who asked me who was in charge. I said that, у то време, I was in charge. He said there was a pro show that night and they were short of inspectors. He said that they need somebody to watch the hand wrapping. I told him I was well versed in hand wrapping and that was it, I was hired to work that show and they gave me the royal treatment.”

 

 

 

“Walcott’s chief second was Chief Roy Johnson, who Walcott brought into the state commission. He hired me in 1982 as a probationary referee. Две године касније, I was a licensed referee and, како кажу, the rest is history.”

 

 

 

Данас, Smoger is still a very active referee, traveling around the world to officiate, as well as co-chairman of the International Boxing Association (ИБА) званичници, and a valued USA Boxing Alumni Association advisor. Steve has made several appearances at Alumni Association gatherings across the country.

 

 

 

“I am honored to be the ‘unofficial’ representative of all officials who’ve made the transition from amateur to pro boxing,” Smoger commented. “I’m the only active referee (Alumni Association advisor) who made the transition from the amateur to the pro level.

 

 

 

“The accent has always been No. 1, on boxers, и не. 2, тренери. USA Boxing is the best group I’ve ever been associated with and, for me personally, I’ve seen what amateur boxing does for kids in this country. They learn under difficult circumstances, through boxing, to successfully reach different levels in life. I enjoy watching the development of youths who go through the USA Boxing program and do very well.

 

 

 

“Boxing enables boxers. My accent is on youths, to watch them grow and develop, not turn pro, to better their lives.”

MULVANE, Мај. (Мај 21, 2018) — History was made this past Saturday night on the “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” pay-per-view card, када 2016 Olympic bronze medalist and local hero, Нико Ернандес, knocked out Hungarian challenger Szilveszter “Силент Ассассин” Kanalas in the opening round to capture the vacant International Boxing Association (ИБА) Flyweight World Championship in only his fifth professional fight, у Канзас Стар Арена у Мулване, Канзас.

 

 

 

In the first world title fight ever held in Kansas, Хернандез (5-0, 4 КОс) overwhelmed Kanalas (14-7, 9 КОс), the former World Boxing Federation (ВБФ) super flyweight world champion, to become the youngest (22) IBA world champion ever, as well as setting the record for the fewest pro fights needied to become IBA world titlist.

 

SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes was launched as Super Channel’s new live boxing series,SUPERBOX LIVE, у сарадњи са KO Night Boxing LLC, and it aired live exclusively in Canada on Super Channel.

 

 

 

Integrated Sports Media distributed “SUPERBOX LIVE: High Stakes” in the United States on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view as it was live-streamed worldwide on ФИТЕ.ТВ app and website (excluding Canada).

 

 

 

Hernandez was aggressive from the opening bell, pounding Kanalas’ head and body. A Hernandez left hook to the body really hurt Kanalas, who went down from a right that followed the vicious liver shot. Kanalas beat Hall of Fame Steve Smoger‘s count, and it was only a matter of time before Hernandez would end the fight. It came soon, right after another body-and-head combination put the over-matched Hungarian on the mat for the second and final time.

 

 

 

“A lot of people underestimate my power,” Hernandez said after the fight. “I believe that once he felt my power, I don’t think he wanted it anymore. I felt like I took his heart away. I was patient, I wanted it to go a few rounds to see what he had, but I took his heart away. I can’t really be disappointed because I am a world champion now.”

 

 

 

“Nico was explosive Saturday night and he showed killer instinct,” организатор John Andersen цомментед. “He was going to box, but I think he smelled fear, and Nico got into Kanalas’ глава. He sensed it and jumped on him.”

 

 

 

Before he left the ring, Hernandez took the microphone in the center of the ring and called out three-time Olympian and two-time Olympic bronze medalist, “Ирски” Paddy Barnes (5-0, 1 КО), who was the favored to win a gold medal in the flyweight division at the 2016 Олимпијске игре. He was eliminated in the round of 16 and Hernandez took home the bronze medal. “There’s a bronze medalist from (Northern) Ирска, Paddy Barnes, and that’s who I’d really love to fight.”

 

 

 

“I think that’s a fight we should start a conversation about,” Andersen remarked. “It’s not line Barnes is 21 (Он је 31) and I don’t know of a lot of 30 or older flyweights. It makes a lot of sense and can be a big fight. They’re both Olympic bronze medalist, already fought in scheduled 10 и 12 round fights, and have belts. (Barnes is the WBO Intercontinental flyweight champ). Nico needs to step up in terms of competition, сувише. I think they should get in the ring and then we can see what happens.

 

 

 

“If they don’t want to make this fight right away, maybe we can build it up by putting them on the same card, and then fight next year. This fight makes a lot of sense for both fighters and Nico has already said he wants to fight Barnes.”

 

 

 

Hernandez joined reigning IBA world champions, Лигхт Хеавивеигхт Сергеј Ковалев and junior middleweight Марк ДеЛуца, as well as past IBA world champions such as Hall of Famers Оскар де ла Хоја, Георге Фореман, Роберто Дуран и Артуро Гатти, in addition to starsРои Јонес, Јр., Бернард Хопкинс, Шејн Мосели, Јамес Тонеи, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Дијего Цорралес, Хосе Луис Цастилло, Глен Џонсон и Антонио Тарвер.

 

 

 

2011 Russia Junior Championships gold medalist Andrey Afonin (6-0, 3 КОс) kept his undefeated record in tact when Pedro “El Reguilete” Родригез (23-4, 19 КОс), the Cuban native and former World Boxing Association (ВБА) Fedalatin cruiserweight champion, was unable to answer the bell in the third round of the co-featured event.

 

 

 

Unbeaten Ukrainian heavyweight Олександр Тесленко (13-0, 11 КОс), promoted by DiBella Entertainment and fighting out of Toronto, престао Terrance “Big Jim” Marbra (9-6, 7 КОс) у другом кругу.

 

 

 

Undefeated Washington featherweight Victor Morales, Јр. (9-0, 5 КОс) was too much forDavid Berna (15-4, 14 КОс), of Hungary, who complained of an elbow injury and lost by way of a second-round technical knockout, in the televised opener.

 

 

 

In the television swing bout, which was held prior to the main event, popular Wichita junior welterweight Јефф Струм (3-0, 2 КОс) kept the train rollin’ with a second-round knockout of Nigeria-native Арцхие Веах (2-11).

 

 

 

In the most competitive fight of the night, as well as the lone match that went the complete distance, Ст. Louis cruiserweight Leroy Jones (3-3, 2 КОс) won a four-round unanimous decision over Kansas City, KS favorite Chris Harris (2-3-2, 2 КОс).

2001 Fight of the Year Reunion planned for final stop of 2018 САД против. Ireland Northeast Tour

Оставите коментар
Special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger
Март 21 у Манчестеру, НХ
ЦОЛОРАДО СПРИНГС, Круг. (Март 12, 2018) – USA Boxing is hosting a special reunion, featuring two key members of the 2001 Борба године, to be part of the final stop on the 2018 САД против. Ирска Еаст Бокс Преглед, Март 21 at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, Нев Хампсхире.
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 п.м. ЕСТ, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, боксерски клуб Манцхестер ПАЛ.
Карте се разумно цени од $20.00 за опште упис, $30 за резервисана седишта поред прстена, и могу се купити на веб страници Агенције за продају карата Сеацоаст,ввв.сеацоасттицкет.цом, званични дистрибутер карата за догађај.
The 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Ирски” Мицки Вард won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Ward and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, will host a USA Alumni Association event Уторак, Море. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. у Манчестеру), са почетком у 6 п.м. И, and attend the following night’s (Море. 21) САД против. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale in Manchester.
“I’m honored to be invited by USA Boxing to represent all professional officials who spent so much valuable time in the amateurs on their way to their positions in the pros,” Smoger said. “I’m looking forward to being part of everything planned.
“Anytime I spend time with Micky is enjoyable, у и ван ринга, and we’ve truly formed a bond. I worked six or seven of his fights, including his first in Atlantic City, around the time we were both breaking in. We spend time together every year at the International Boxing Hall of Fame inductions. He’s such a pleasure to be around. He treats people very well. His history in the ring and personality make him a big fan favorite. He’s the same guy he’s always been but he still has the heart of a warrior.”
Bernard Dunne celebrating world title anniversary
Irish Team Performance Director Бернар Дан will celebrate the ninth anniversary of his WBA super bantamweight title-winning performance, Море. 21, 2009, the same date as the USA-Ireland Northeaster Boxing Tour stop in Manchester.
Dunne (28-2, 15 КОс), fighting out of Dublin, fought professionally between 2001-2009. Био је 119-11 као аматер, укључујући 13 Irish titles.
У 2009, застао је Ricardo Cordoba ин 11тх round at O2 Arena in Dublin, да постане светски шампион.
USA stars out in Manchester
USA Boxing will be looking to conclude the tour on a high note with expected boxers on the show such as 2017 four-time international gold medalist Ginny Fuchs (Kemah, ТКС), 2017 Elite Women’s Continental Championships bronze medalist Осхае Јонес (Толедо, ОХ), 2017 World Championships silver medalist Duke Ragan (Cincinnati, ОХ), 2017 World Championships bronze medalist Freudis Rojas (Лас Вегас, НВ), 2016 USA Nationals heavyweight champion Jared Anderson (Толедо, ОХ), и 2016 Youth World Championship bronze medalist Ричард Торес (Туларе, КАО ШТО СУ).

Fighting out of Whitby, Онтарио, Канада, Rose stopped two-time Canadian Olympian Adam Trupish (11-1) in the second round of their 2014 борба, and last November he upset previously undefeated Ryan Young (10-0) with an opening round knockout.

Phil Rose & Tyler Buxton

“My fiancé is from Jamaica and I first went there looking to promote shows there,” рекао Tyler Buxton (United Boxing Promotions), who has served as consultant to the television producer, in addition to being the promoter/manager for Team Canada. “I spoke to the Jamaica boxing commissioner and he told me about past Contender shows. He was concerned about the team fighting Team Jamaica being able to fill the eight-fighter field. I agreed to bring Team Canada and it’s been a great experience for me and all the guys.

“They flew in on a Петак, fought у среду, and flew back to Canada the following day. They stayed in a mansion, where there was a beautiful in-ground pool, and the fighters had their own cooks. They had to adjust to the heat having been used to fighting and training in Canada. Али, еј, they had no problems losing weight. Everybody here has been super nice. The Jamaican media wasn’t nice to us at the beginning, claiming we weren’t good enough to compete with Jamaican fighters, but we won the first round, 5-3, and then got some respect. Our fighters even have some Jamaican fans now.”
Unlike the original version of Кандидат у САД, which was a reality television show, the “Jamaican Contender” is all about fighting, no behind the scenes stories. It has aired on JTV in Jamaica, drawing 800,000 viewers for the quarterfinals, 1-million for the semifinals, и 1.2 million viewers are projected for Среда јеchampionship final. These are incredible viewing numbers considering there are only 2.8 million people living in Jamaica. Fans outside of Jamaica may watch a live stream the championship final online via 1Stopmedia.com.
Jamaica has a rich boxing tradition, producing many world-class fighters and champions such as Мике МакКаллум, Trevor Berbick, Donovan Ruddock, Глен Џонсон, Simon Brown, Николас Волтерс, O’Neil Bell, Uriah Grant, Алиша Ешли, Alex Stewart и Хауард Грант. У 1973, Kingston hosted the World Heavyweight Championship between a pair of future Hall of Famers, “Велики” Георге Фореман (37-0) и “Smokin'” Јое Фразиер (29-0), in which Foreman captured the WBC and WBA titles from defending champion Frazier by way of a second-round knockout.
