Ħalli kumment
ROCHESTER, N.Y.. (Settembru 25, 2016) — Folla żgħira ppakkjat The Diplomat Party House biex tonora Michael “Jinx” Spinks u Fitz “Il-Whip” Vanderpool fl-aħħar 26th Sala ta 'l-Eroj ta' Rochester Boxing annwali (RBHOF) Banquet & Lejla tal-Premjijiet.
Spinks (31-1, 21 Kos) irċieva l-Premju prestiġjuż għall-Integrità, filwaqt li Vanderpool (26-8-4, 13 Kos) ġiet ippreżentata l-għeżież Courage Award.
(L-R) – Michael Spinks, Steve Smoger u Fitz Vanderpool
Rochester’s Johnny McCoy (Clarence Millard) kien imdaħħal fis-Sala tal-Eroj tal-Boxing tal-Rochester. McCoy (77-30-14, 21 Kos), li miet fil 1978 fl-età ta ' 81, kien wieħed mill-aqwa flyweights fid-dinja bejn 1916 u 1932. Huwa ġie rikonoxxut bħala champion tad-dinja mill-istat ta ’California wara kampjonat biex jiddetermina r-rebbieħ tat-titlu dinji vakanti mwarrab minn Fidel LaBarba.
“Dan kien banquet ieħor memorabbli għar-Rochester Boxing Hall of Fame,” Teżorier / kelliem ta 'RBHOF Gino Arilotta qal. “Kulħadd ħa pjaċir bil-lejla. Aħna ddaħħalna wara mewtu lil Johnny McCoy u onorati huma rebbieħa tal-premju, Michael Spinks u Fitz Vanderpool. Perit tas-Sala tal-Fama Steve Smoger ta diskors mill-isbaħ. Kull wieħed minn dawn l-irġiel kbar kien tant pjaċevoli u bil-ferħ iffirmaw mijiet ta ’awtografi u pożaw għal tant stampi. Dawn it-tliet irġiel umli għandhom ir-rispett sinċier tiegħi.
“Nhar is-Sibt, 17 ta 'Settembru, ħadna lill-boxers flimkien ma 'Steve Smoger fi stazzjon tar-radju lokali fejn ġew intervistati fuq l-ajru. Ħadnihom ukoll f'waħda mis-super gyms ta 'Rochester, fejn Willie Monroe, Jr. ferroviji. Urejnihom bosta siti importanti ġewwa l-belt. Ippreżentajt ukoll gradwat mill-iskola sekondarja tal-belt, il-Premju għall-Boroż ta ’Studju Carmen Basilio, li jingħata kull sena.
Sala Internazzjonali tal-Fama tal-Boxing (IBHOF), Spinks kien l-iktar champion dominanti tal-heavyweight ħafif dominanti tal-era tiegħu, jaqbad l-Assoċjazzjoni Dinjija tal-Boksing (WBA), Internazzjonali Federazzjoni Boxing (IBF) u l-Kunsill Boxing Dinja (WBC) titli mondjali, minbarra li huwa 1976 Medalist deheb Olimpiku.
Vanderpool hija Federazzjoni Dinjija tal-Boxing (WBF), WBC FECARBOX u champion Kanadiż tal-welterweight. Huwa ħa lil dawk li ġew kollha inkluż l-uniku champion tad-dinja ta 'Rochester, Charles “il naturali” Murray u champion tad-dinja Fernando Vargas. Illum, Vanderpool huwa trainer fil-Kanada li jagħti wkoll għadd ta 'sigħat ta' ħin u enerġija f'Kitchener bħala voluntier tal-komunità.
Mistednin speċjali fl-attendenza kienu jinkludu lil Murray (44-9, 26 Kos), ex-champion welter ħafif tal-IBF, piż tqil ikklassifikat fid-dinja Jarrell “Big Baby” Taħħan (18-0-1, 16 Kos), Prospett ħafif ta 'Rochester Lavisas “aħmar” Williams (8-1-1, 3 Kos), Josie Basilio (armla tas-Sala tal-Fama Carmen Basilio), kittieb distint tal-boksing Dan Cucco u Smoger, ir-referee internazzjonali straordinarju.
RBHOF jorganizza laqgħat ta 'kull xahar, flimkien ma 'piknik annwali u festin tal-Milied, minbarra li tappoġġja l-ġinnasji lokali.
