Niujorkas - balandžio mėn 15, 2021 – From 1980 per 1989, four great champions and future Hall of Famers raised the level of their sport. It was boxing at its best, at its most enthralling. Over the span of one glorious decade, they fought each other nine times.Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Nuostabus Marvinas Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, ir Cukrus Ray Leonard,known collectively as the “Four Kings,” formed a fierce rivalry and arguably the greatest period in the history of the sport.
SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS will be presentingTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fighters’ dramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. They dominated an era of their own creation, but not each other. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Birželis 6 į 8 p.m. IR / PT apie Showtime, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the epic middleweight championship battle between Hagler and Hearns. Long considered the high-water mark of the Four Kings era, Hagler-Hearns stands out for the drama and brutal non-stop action that was compressed into just over eight minutes from start to finish. The fight and the opening stanza were consensus Fight of the Year and Round of the Year, atitinkamai, but many consider both as one of, jei nethe,all-time best in their respective categories.
Žemiau, please find the observations and recollections of those who covered that fight, many who are featured inTHE KINGS.
“I remember the week of the fight, Hagler wore a baseball hat with ‘WAR’ on the front, ir aš pagalvojau, ‘eh, the usual pre fight hype’, until the first bell, then I said, “WOW, Hagler was right.”
– Teddy Atlas,Hall of Fame trainer and boxing analyst
“I covered the fight as a columnist for The New York Times. Here was my lead: Until Thomas Hearns fell, with the assistance of a smashing right to the face by Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and was ruled the loser at 2:01 trečiojo turo, hardly a second passed that one of the fighters wasn’t throwing and landing a stunning blow.”
– Ira Berkow, ringside for The New York Times
“The excitement at the outdoor arena at Caesars Palace was palpable. As I sat ringside I did something I now do regularly before a match. When both Hagler and Hearns had entered and were in the ring I took my headsets off just to feel the emotion of the crowd better. I wanted to live that moment. Dabar, I do that before every big match just before it begins. At the end of the first round, I said on the telecast, ‘This is one of the best rounds in middleweight boxing history.’ I may have been underselling it.”
– Al Bernstein, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst /Ringo, called the fight as part of the live closed-circuit telecast team
“I knew trouble was brewing when in the last leg of their nationwide press tour, Marvin stuck dinner napkins in both ears as Tommy stood to continue three weeks of boasting about a third-round knockout. ‘He’s half right,’ Hagler later groused. The first round sucked the air out of the arena and the finish was Hagler’s violent response to all the forces he believed had tried to deny him greatness his whole career. Marvin took all his frustrations out on poor Tommy and left him in a heap on the floor, broken like an old beach chair.”
– Ronas Borges,ringside for the Boston Globe
“I was sitting first-row ringside that night next to Ed Schuyler Jr., the great AP boxing writer. We were anticipating a good fight, but we had no idea how good. The bell rang and suddenly Hagler and Hearns were fighting in a fury that was hard to comprehend and just as hard to describe. When the round ended, I remember looking at Schuyler shaking my head, not saying a word, and he did the same to me back. It was like ‘What did we just see?’ I’ve seen thousands of fights, but to this day that three minutes of mayhem is forever etched in my mind. No need to watch the old video, I remember it almost punch by punch. Greatest first round ever, and top five in greatest fights I’ve ever covered.”
– Timas E.Dahlberg,ringside for the Associated Press
“A wise old journalist once told me, ‘If you’re covering a fight, or anything for that matter, that’s truly sensational, don’t try to write it that way. Underplay it.’ I think of that advice whenever anybody mentions Hagler-Hearns. For fight fans, it was invigorating, inspiring, incredible – everything we could ever hope for. For fight writers, it was a bit different. How could we describe that first round without overstepping our bounds? Sometimes it’s easier being a fan.”
– Steve'as Farhood, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / Covered the fight as senior writer for KO magazine
“I will always remember sitting in the truck, as the producer of the telecast, and telling Marc Payton, the director, to stick with the hand-held camera in the last minute of the first round, mesmerized that they had planted themselves in front ofkad fotoaparatas. It was the longest three minutes of action in my entire career. I turned to Marc at the end of the round and just asked, ‘What the hell was that?’ It was actually a more emphatic expletive than that.”
– Ross Greenburg, executive producer of the fight telecast
“At the end of the first round I was literally speechless. The action had been so incredibly intense – they had attacked each other with the kind of ferocity you only see in a horror movie – that I had watched it all with my mouth wide open, and in the dry desert air my mouth had become completely bone dry, so I was unable to get a word out when Ian Darke asked me for my comment. Eventually I managed to say, ‘That’s the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen.’ And all these years later, it still remains so.”
– Colinas Hart, ringside for The Sun and BBC Radio
“Whenever I’m asked to name the most exciting sporting event I ever attended, I respond, ‘Hagler-Hearns.’ Never do I have to explain.”
– Barry Horn, ringside for the Dallas Morning News
“Greatest first round in the history of boxing at any weight. Hearns hits him with the best right hand he ever threw, wobbles him, opens a cut on his forehead but two rounds later Marvin fights off the blood and knocks him out. Seventy years covering boxing and I never saw anything like it.”
– Jerry Izenberg, ringside for The Star-Ledger
“Being at ringside for the eight minutes of fury known as the Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight was as close as anyone could come to understanding the days of gladiators in the Roman Colosseum. The first round was all-out warfare with both fighters exchanging their best power shots. Hearns tried to box in the second, but Hagler wouldn’t let him, and when the blood started pouring from a cut on Hagler’s forehead in the third and there was a danger the fight might be stopped, Hagler later said, ‘It turns me on, the monster comes out.’ Boy, did it! I never will forget the image of one of Hearns’ handlers cradling him like a child and carrying him to the corner, which is why I led with that picture. Easily the most savage boxing match I’ve witnessed between two all-time greats.”
– Greg Logan, ringside for Newsday
“Although the action and drama lasted eight-plus breathless minutes, it actually was over in the first minute or so when KO star Hearns landed a flush right and Hagler didn’t blink. It was then I realized that Hagler, normally a patient stalker, had signaled his intention to use his middleweight strength to challenge a big welterweight by pounding his chest defiantly just before the opening bell rang. A night and fight to remember.”
– Laris pirklys, ringside commentator for delay telecast
“Obviously the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen, let alone called. One of those moments that you knew the magnitude of as it was happening. That first round felt like it was a half hour long.”
– Barry Tompkins, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / ringside to call the delay fight telecast
“I didn’t know what to expect since it was my first time watching a fight at a movie theater. Whites and Blacks in Memphis only socialized around sports back then. It was a mixed crowd in the theater, but the same reaction: pure joy and excitement. Everyone stood throughout the entire fight. It was violent, courageous, and thrilling.”
– George Willis, covering from a closed-circuit outlet in Memphis for The Commercial Appeal
“I covered that fight, ir daugelis kitų, for The Detroit News. I’ll never forget the absolute savagery in the way Hearns and Hagler went at each other from the opening bell, and the way the crowd roared with every punch. One telling moment: Hearns connected with a wicked left hook that turned Hagler half around from the force of the punch — but never fazed him. It has been called the greatest short fight in history, and that stands up to this day. The first round set the tone. I remember after the fight someone asked Larry Merchant of HBO how he scored that first round. ‘I gave them both 11,’ he replied. That said it all.”
– Mike O’Hara,ringside for The Detroit News
“My memory of the first round: action so immediate and reckless that spectators were left breathless. So were the reporters at ringside. I was there for the Boston Globe, and I remember the veteran scribes who sat paralyzed after the bell, unable to type or scratch notes, me included. A deep gash opened above Hagler’s right eye, ir Hearns’ right hand fractured. In the third round, with blood running down Hagler’s nose, the referee stopped the bout and asked Hagler if he could continue. Hagler snapped: ‘I’m not missing him, am I?’ When the bout resumed Hagler attacked quickly, bounced three long rights off of Hearns’ head, and watched him twist downward to the canvas.”
– Steve Marantz, ringside for the Boston Globe
“I remember how difficult it was, on a tight deadline, to give justice to that spectacular first round. How many superlatives could I pack into the story without inducing nausea? Hagler quietly, confidently selling the fight – simply, wearing a cap with ‘War’ emblazoned on the front. Then that nail-hard infantryman, coming, always coming after Hearns. Hearns out on his feet, chin on referee Richard Steele’s shoulder and then carried to his corner. I can still hear the crowd roaring throughout the short fight, knowing all of us were witnessing a brawl for the ages.”
– John Phillips, ringside for Reuters
“What I remember about this war was there was no feeling (each other) out, they just came out slugging from the opening bell! It was so loud outside at Caesars Palace, the most iconic venue, that made this fight even more special. I wish more fights were outside. I also thought that Referee Richard Steele did a great job and just let them fight!”
– Marc Ratner, Nevada State Athletic Commission Inspector for Hagler-Hearns
“Hagler-Hearns was the first major fight I covered and the first time I was ever in Las Vegas. I was there to do sidebars and run quotes for Greg Logan, who was doing the main story for Newsday. I got a seat in press row when press row was truly ringside, literally within 10 feet of the ring apron. And after the incredible first round, I was on my feet, my legs quivering, when I noticed all the other older, more grizzled reporters were standing too, stunned by what we all had just seen. At that moment, Eddie Schuyler of the AP turned to me and deadpanned in that sardonic manner of his, ‘You know, kid, they aren’t all like this.’ He turned out to be right. Over the next 38 years and who knows how many first rounds, I have yet to see another one like that.”
– Wally Matthews, ringside for Newsday

Niujorkas - balandžio mėn 12, 2021 -Bokse, it is said that styles make fights. Nuo 1980 per 1989, it was the style of four great fighters that not only made legendary fights, it ushered in a boxing renaissance. The fierce rivalry between world champions and future Hall of Famers known as the “Four Kings” –Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Nuostabus Marvinas Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, ir Cukrus Ray Leonard– produced a Golden Age defined by the nine world championship fights between them and solidified their place among the greatest to ever live.

The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Birželis 6 į 8 p.m. ET /PT on SHOWTIME, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.
THE KINGSspotlights boxing’s evolution from the end of Muhammad Ali’s era to the era of the Four Kings, set against the seismic political and socio-economic shifts taking place in the United States. The Four Kings rose to fame as the presidency of Jimmy Carter and economic recession gave way to the boon of 1980s capitalism and excess harnessed by the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Krūmas. Through in-depth interviews and archival footage, the series also examines the very personal battles that each man waged on his unique journey to the center of the sports world.
“These four men defined an era in boxing,"Sakė Stephenas Espinoza, Prezidentas, Showtime Sportas. “Their individual stories, forever linked by the spectacular battles they waged, reflect a tumultuous period in American culture and history.THE KINGStakes the viewer beyond the glorious action of some of history’s most memorable prizefights to illuminate each man’s dramatic journey and the societal context that made them stars of sports and popular culture.”
Following a brief fallow period in the wake of Ali’s retirement, boxing was revitalized when Leonard became a world champion in 1979 and waged his first battle with Durán in 1980. From that point, the Four Kings engaged in a decade-long run of riveting fights that far outperformed any other sport in attention and revenue. They were the most popular stars of sports and American culture.
Nuo 1979 per 1985, as a mark of their incredible achievements, the Boxing Writers Association of America bestowed these men the coveted title of “Fighter of the Year” annually with the lone exception of 1982 – with Leonard, Hagler and Hearns each winning twice. In the nine world title fights between them, there were four knockouts and three of the bouts were recognized byŽiedasmagazine as “Fight of the Year.” Žiedasmagazine “Round of the Year” (and to many, the round of all time) from round one of Hagler-Hearns is, galbūt, the most iconic single round of boxing of all time. Fittingly, THE KINGSpremieres in the 45th anniversary year of Leonard winning an Olympic gold medal, and the 40th anniversary year of the welterweight world title unification battle between Leonard and Hearns, widely considered their greatest fight and a symbol of the era.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Etapas. (Birželis 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, dviejų padalinys pasaulio čempionas “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Riveracredits boxing for saving his life.
“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 metai, I gave up on life and my decision-making reflected that: hanging around with the wrong crowd including gang members, consuming alcohol between the ages of 10 and 15. I was definitely going in the wrong direction.
“I never thought I had a future until I started boxing. It’s hard to say what I’d be doing if I had never boxed, but by the way I was living, I’d probably be in jail or dead by now.”
Born in Philadelphia, Rivera lived in Puerto Rico and Springfield, MA, prior to him moving to Worcester, MA, where he met a man who helped change his life, Carlos Garcia, who was in charge of a special boxing program at the Worcester Boys & Merginos Klubai.
Rivera had started boxing at the age of 14 ½ in a basement with his friend, Felix Lopez. He had fallen in love with boxing after watchingRoberto Duranupset“Sugar” Ray Leonardin their first fight. The young Puerto Rican-American specifically used his amateur boxing experience to prepare for the professional ranks. Garcia, who is in the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame, put him in a novice match after only one amateur fight in order to put Rivera on the fast track, because he understood that Rivera dreamed of becoming a world champion as a professional. Rivera finished with a 35-15 mėgėjų įrašas, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.
“I never had big amateur aspirations but, žinoma, I wanted to win every fight I competed in,” Rivera said. “Once I didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, my plan was to turn pro. I didn’t know how much the amateurs would groom me to be a successful professional boxer. I’m glad I listened to my coaches, otherwise I would have turned pro earlier, because I would get frustrated with the politics of the amateurs. I hated losing, but I hated losing even more when I knew that I should have won. After three years together (with Garcia) in the amateurs and gaining a great wealth of experience traveling all over New England, the country and even fighting in Canada, I saw all types of styles and talented boxers that helped me as a pro. Carlos is like a father figure to me and during all of our training and travels, he was always in my head, building me up to become a good boxer, but also to help me become a better man.”
Lapkričio 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, barbenimas išFrancisco Mercedesin the second round. He went on to win his first 23 profesionalų priepuoliai, including the Massachusetts State welterweight title in 1995. His first pro loss was to veteran Philadelphia fighterWillie Wise (20-3-4), who won a controversial 10-round split decision at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Rivera had proven that he was more than a prospect in his first loss, losing a close decision (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) to an opponent that upset Mexican iconJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) only three years later.
Showing the same resiliency that stayed with Rivera his entire career, two fights later Rivera stoppedGilberto Floresin two rounds to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, nors, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, barbenimas išFrankie Randall (55-10-1) į 10ojiround to retain his North American Boxing Association (Taip pat) crown in his first defense.
Now promoted by legendary Don King, Rivera traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2003 to Germany, where few Americans were able to win. Rivera proved early that he meant business, dropping previously undefeatedMichel Trabantin the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA). His reign, tačiau, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerLuis Collazo (24-1)
Rivera moved up one weight class for his next fight, showing the resiliency that was a staple during his career for his next fight, also at home, against WBA junior middleweight World championAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
In his next fight and first defense of his third world title, Rivera was stopped for the first time in his pro career, by new champTravisas Simmsas (24-0), and then he was knocked out byDaniel Santos (24-0) in round eight of their WBA junior middleweight title eliminator.
Rivera retired in 2008 only to make a comeback in 2001, after which he retired again until returning for two fights in Worcester to complete his pro career with 50 kovas, the last coming at the age of 46.
“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, tiek ir iš žiedo,"SakėChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “He took the road less traveled for a world champion, and in doing so he showcased his toughness and perseverance that made him a great example for today’s USA Boxers.”

Rivera was a true working world champion. Few world champions also had full-time jobs during their title reigns. Rivera used vacation time, as well as personal and sick days, when he went to training camp for some of his major fights.
“I always had a good work ethic growing up,” he explained. “When I moved to Worcester at 16 metai, I lived by myself: school, work, and then to the Boys & Girls Club to train. I kept the same work ethic I had at 19 when I turned pro. I became a father at 20, so providing for my family was essential. Although it was hard, I knew boxing wasn’t going to last forever, and I was lucky enough to find a good job working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Trial Courts. It made for long days when I was training, especially when I was fighting for or defending my world championships. In the end, nors, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”
Rivera. who was an Associate Court Officer for years and promoted last year to Assistant Chief Court Officer, is still involved in boxing. He and his oldest son, A.J. Rivera, own and operate a boxing promotional company, Rivera Promotions Entertainment, to give young fighters in his area opportunities to fight more often and at home. Jose occasionally drops by the Boys & Girls Club to visit his former coaches, Garcia andRocky Gonzalez, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendKendrick Ball’s gym, Camp Be Right, to give young fighters there a few tips and to keep in shape (not for another comeback).
Jose Antonio Rivera will be best known for his toughness and determination, which led him into a different life, including three world championships and a wonderful life he never would have enjoyed.

Here is what a group of current and former welterweight fighters had to say about the Garcia vs. Porter world title showdown:
CUKRAUS RAY LEONARD, Salė Famer & Former Unified Welterweight World Champion
“I feel the Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter fight has the makings of an exciting fight from what I’ve seen of both of these talented fighters. So here is my prediction based on what I feel both fighters bring into the ring
Garcia will win if he uses his jab to keep Porter at bay and off balance, but Porter gains a victory if he connects and hurts Garcia early and makes him abandon his boxing ability and fight like a slugger — as I did with my first fight vs Roberto Duran.
This is how I see this matchup which should be an exciting fight!”
ERROL SPENCE JR., Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World Champion
“I definitely want to fight the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. That’s a close fight. I always picked against Danny Garcia in the past, and he always proved me wrong. Shawn Porter’s always a tough fight, because he’s going to come forward and give it his all. He’s basically trying to mug you. Tačiau šioje kovoje, it’s hard to go against Danny Garcia. I pick Danny Garcia to win a split decision.”
KEITH Thurman, WBA negu vidutinis svoris Pasaulio čempionas; Former Unified Champion
“I honestly love this fight, and I consider it a tremendous battle and one of the best matchups of the year. Man, having fought both of them, I do believe that each is capable of hurting the other and getting one another out of there.
“I know most fans are going to lean toward Danny Garcia with his knockout power and the potential for that. Then there is Shawn, who’s got a decent punch, even though he focuses on his output more than his one-punch solid blow and has it in his arsenal to hurt Danny Garcia.
“I wouldn’t bet on Shawn getting the knockout, but I would on Shawn getting the victory, simply because of his output. I think Danny’s only chance of winning is by knockout, but even as a gambling man, I can’t put my money on Danny getting it. I’m taking Shawn Porter by decision.”
MANNY PACQUIAO, Multiple-Time Welterweight World Champion
“I’m going to give the edge to Danny Garcia. They’re both gritty fighters, but I think Garcia is a little more technical with a little more ring generalship. It should be a great fight, and there’s a possibility of me fighting the winner, but we’ll have to see what happens.”
Mikey Garcia, Four-Division World Champion
“I think this is a very good matchup. Shawn Porter is the kind of athlete who is always bringing the fight to you with pressure and volume punching. They both come to fight and they can both take it and dish it out.
“Danny Garcia can use his skills to box on the outside and work from a distance. I think Danny will be able to box a little more and win more of the tight rounds in a very close fight. I’m not sure if it will be a split-decision or a unanimous decision. I believe that Danny will use more of those tactics to win an exciting decision.”
YORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender
“I have much respect for Shawn Porter, and I think it will be a great fight but, Danny Garcia has more technique and he’s also faced and beaten better opponents than Porter. I am leaning toward Danny Garcia to pull off the victory.”
ROBERT GUERRERO, Former Multiple Division World Champion
“This will be a very entertaining fight for the fans. I can see Danny putting up a good fight, but Porter is going to make the fight rough, and Garcia doesn’t like those type of fights. I’m going with Porter to win by split decision.”
VICTOR ORTIZ, Former Welterweight World Champion
“Manau, kad tai bus greitas kova. Shawn will be pushing forward, making it rough on Danny, and Danny will be trying to control the distance. I’m going with Danny, giving him the slight edge and saying he wins by a decision.”
JAMAL JAMES, Negu vidutinis svoris contender
“It’s a good one. Shawn is busier than Danny, more active and carries a lot of momentum when he fights. But that’s not always a good thing because Garcia has power with his timing, he might be able to catch Porter coming in. I’m thinking that Shawn Porter pulls it off. ”
BRANDON Iš RIOS, Buvęs pasaulio čempionas & Welterweight Title Challenger
“That’s a really tough fight to predict. If Danny can counter really well and keep Shawn Porter off of him while Porter’s coming in, then I see Danny stopping him.
But if Shawn Porter is able to pressure Danny like he usually does, I don’t see Shawn Porter stopping Danny, or anything, but I see him winning by split-decision if he can be in his chest all night long. But if Porter gets nailed with one of those left hooks or a straight right hand, I say Porter goes down. I’m going to go with Danny because he knocked me out.”
BRYANT Perrella, Negu vidutinis svoris Prospektas
“It could come down to how well Shawn Porter can take Danny Garcia’s punches in a fight that’s really hard to predict, and how well Danny can move, given that he’s not known for having fast feet similar to a guy like Keith Thurman.
But if Shawn can get close and smother Danny’s punches, he will make it a difficult fight. But Danny’s got really heavy hands and sits on his shots well, timing and counter-punching guys, so Porter could play into his hands.
Based off of clean, effective hard shots and giving him the edge in the close, competitive rounds, I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. Shawn is tough as nails, so I see it going the distance, but just the slight edge to Danny.”
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Negu vidutinis svoris contender
“I’m going with Shawn Porter. Not by stoppage, but Shawn creates too much pressure and Danny Garcia doesn’t throw enough punches and doesn’t deal with pressure. You saw that when he fought Guerrero, who wasn’t looking too bad in that fight.
“Danny can win by knockout if he catches Shawn with that hook, but Shawn’s a workhorse and he puts forth far more pressure than I think Danny’s ever seen in a fight. Shawn may not be susceptible to it if he doesn’t have the proper head movement, but I believe that he will.”

(L-R) – Džo Mesi, Jackas Hirschas ir Bobas Duffy
JOE MESI: “Turiu tiek daug žmonių padėkoti už šią garbę. Aš bufonietis. Niekas daugiau nepalaiko vieno Niujorko, bet taip nėra. Tai man ypatinga, nes tai yra Niujorko valstijos bokso šlovės muziejus. Tai mane įtvirtina ir priverčia manyti, kad nesu tik vietinis berniukas. Iš mažo miesto kilo didžiulis trūkumas, sparingas nebuvo tas pats, kas Niujorko sporto salėse, bet turėjau pranašumą iš Vakarų Niujorko. Niekam nesisekė, kaip mes su Bufalu 10,000, tada 16,00 ir, galiausiai 18,000 žmonės. Jie visada buvo už manęs, ir aš dalinuosi tuo su jais, nes mane palaikė jų palaikymas. Mano svajonė buvo kovoti Bafale ir tęsti kovą ten.
“Vienas svarbiausių mano gyvenimo momentų buvo kovos su Monte Barrett per HBO laidą Madison Square Garden sode. Jis buvo vienas didžiausių kovotojų pasaulyje, kovojusių dėl pasaulio titulo. Aš visada norėjau gauti savo pasaulio čempiono titulą, bet niekada nesupratau. Tai gerai, Kurį laiką buvau šiek tiek karti, bet negalėčiau būti laimingesnė dėl savo karjeros. Geriausia bokso dalis yra brolija, kuria dalijamės.
(L-R) – Randy Gordonas, Ronas Scottas Stevensas ir Bobas Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “Žinau, kad žmonės visada tai sako, bet tai yra tiesa: Esu skolingas tiek daug žmonių, kurie mane palaikė per visą savo karjerą. Boksas man visada buvo ne namuose, o šiandien jaučiuosi lyg būčiau namie.
“Buvau 30, gyvenantis Brooklyn Heights, ir atgal važiuodamas taksi, laukiančiu ant stalų. Galvoje užgeso šviesa: boksas yra nepakankamo sportininko sportas, o aš - nepakankamas. Kitą dieną nuėjau į „Gleason's Gym“ – visatos centras. Aš apėjau visas miesto sporto sales, susitikimų vykdytojai, vadybininkai ir instruktoriai. Pradėjau rengti rungtynes rengėjams, o tada mane pasamdė Cedricas Kushneris 1980-2002. Į 2002, Gavau kvietimą dirbti Niujorko valstijos sporto komisijoje kaip jos bendruomenės koordinatorius ir bokso direktorius. Tada, Buvau paskirtas pirmininku ir dirbau dvi kadencijas.

(L-R) – Ray Mercer ", Penny Allenas, Į mokyklą, Molis Jenkinsas ir Bobas Duffy
Į MOKYKLĄ: “Maniau, kad boksas yra kvailiausias ir kvailiausias sportas. Kas norėjo pataikyti į veidą? Boksuoti pradėjau vėlai. Aš žaidžiau aplink kai kuriuos, ir žmonės sakė, kad man gana gera. Boksuoti pradėjau būdamas 20, kariuomenėje, įsikūręs Ft. Gaubtas. Po ketverių metų, Buvau olimpinėje komandoje. Priežastis, kodėl turėjau puikų partnerį, Ray Mercer ". Jei kasdien būčiau ringe su Ray, Aš arba ketinau sumušti, ar pasveikti.
“Pamenu, Bobas Arumas davė man savo vizitinę kortelę. Aš jo nepažinojau. Bokse žinojau tik tris žmones: Don King, Muhammadą Ali ir Cukrus Ray Leonard. Nesekiau bokso ir vienintelė priežastis, dėl kurios boksavausi, būtų buvusi turėjusi miegoti miške, jei ne (armijoje). Boksas yra: trenk jam, kol jis nepataikė į mane.”
(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr, Jaime Drubin ir Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Noriu padėkoti lentai. Aš būsiu 70 ir pradėjo boksą, kai buvau 18. Tai sukūrė naują mano gyvenimo kryptį. Aš labai didžiuojuosi būdamas draugijoje su vaikinais, kurie ne tik kalbėjo, jiems tai patiko. Jei jums tikrai patinka šis sportas, jūs tikrai turite to išmokti. Bet kuris žmogus, įžengęs į ringą, plius visi kelio darbai, laiko sporto salėje ir aukojant tai, ką jie valgo, padarė tai, kad būtų kuo geresni.
“Bokse, neketini laimėti kiekvienos kovos, bet ar kovotojas laimi, ar pralaimi, jei jis duos 100 proc, jis yra nugalėtojas. Jie dirba darbą, bėgti penkis mylius per dieną, treniruotė sporto salėje, o paskui grįžo namo praleisti laiko su šeima. Draugai ir šeima visada turi tavo nugarą.”
(L-R) – Darrylo tautos & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Aš be žado. Nuostabu. Randy (buvęs NYSAC pirmininkas Gordonas), ar prisimenate šią istoriją? Buvo tik trys teisėjai ir, deja, vienas paskambino sergantis. Aš sėdėjau žiede be jokių pareigų. Rendis sakė, kad turiu dirbtišįvakar. Aš sakiau, kad neturiu licencijos ir negaliu to padaryti. - pasakė Rendis, „Pakelkite dešinę ranką“, ir jis buvo įjungtas. Mane ten įmetė, bet tai buvo gerai.
“Didžiausi mano pasiekimai yra mano vaikai ir vyras. Negalėčiau paprašyti geresnės situacijos. Ir Ralfas Petrillo yra mano šeimos dalis; jis buvo mano antrasis vadovaujantis. Aš taip pat turėjau geriausius pareigūnus: komisaro pavaduotojai, inspektoriai, teisėjai ir teisėjai. Aš be jų čia nebūčiau. Bobas Duffy sujungė visą šį dalyką. Aš asmeniškai manau, kad jis nuostabus. Mano kelionė tęsiasi, Aš esu palaimintas.”

“Tai didžiulė garbė man ir mano tėvui,” - pasakė Bobas. “Linkiu, kad jis šiandien būtų gyvas, kad galėtų ten būti. Aš esu boksininkas iki gyvos galvos. Man buvo aštuoneri metai, kai su tėvu eidavau į visas treniruočių stovyklas, kuris buvo INS bokso rašytojas ir sporto redaktorius („Hearst News“ tarnyba) tarnyba. Juokas, kad aš buvau sumanyta „Grossinger“ („Catskill Resort Hotel“ treniruočių stovykla). Boksas tiesiog atsirado mano gyvenime. Mes su tėčiu turėjome keletą akcijų ir viešųjų ryšių verslų, visų rūšių su sportu susijusius verslus, bet visada buvo boksas.
“Aš esu pats laimingiausias vaikinas pasaulyje. Aš buvau auklėjama darant tuos dalykus, kuriuos mylėjau. Kiek žmonių gali tai pasakyti? Susipažinau ir susidraugavau su Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Cukrus Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano ir tiek daug kitų. Aš stovėčiau stovyklose savaitėmis. Atsikėliau bėgti su boksininkais ir gavau galimybę pabūti šalia savo herojų. Taip pat susipažinau su bokso treneriais ir kitais bei vėliau gerbėjais. Aš pažinau visus. Mane auklėjo boksas, visas mano gyvenimas buvo boksas, 65 metų versle.”

Jis taip pat paaukštino daugelį pasaulio čempionų kaip savo įmonės prezidentą, Sodo valstybinis boksas.
“Pamenu, kelias savaites eidavau į treniruočių stovyklas,” mielai prisiminė 78 metų Goodmanas. “Norėčiau fotografuoti, rašykite istorijas kiekvieną dieną ir naudokitės savo telekopijuokliu, norėdamas jas siųsti į AP ir UPI. Aš tiek daug padariau auklėdamas verslą, net kraunant sunkvežimius su kėdėmis, žiedas, garsiakalbiai ir dar daugiau. Mano tėvas buvo tarptautinio bokso klubo Madison Square Garden srities reklamos direktorius. Dirbau ten, kai buvau paauglė.
“Man didelė garbė būti įtrauktam į Niujorko valstijos bokso šlovės muziejų su savo tėvu ir tiek daug bokso vaikinų. Jie skiriasi nuo kitų sporto šakų žmonių. Vienas iš mano laimėtų apdovanojimų, kuriuo labiausiai didžiuojuosi, yra Jamesas J. Walkerio atminimo apdovanojimas už ilgametį ir nusipelniusį darbą boksui (BWAA 1960).
“Man pasisekė, kad bokse peržengiau įvairias epochas. Tada tai buvo kitas pasaulis, mes turėjome 20-30 rašytojai savaites išbūna treniruočių stovyklose. Pažinau senų laikų boksininkus ir trenerius.”

The remaining welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, is set to defend his WBO title against Jeff Horn onLiepa 2.
Now it’s Brook and Spence’s turn to take center stage in boxing’s glamour division.
Šį šeštadienį Šefilde, Anglija, Upelis (36-1, 25 Kos) will make the fourth defense of the IBF belt he won via majority decision over Porter in 2014. The 31-year-old, kuris niekada nebuvo nuvertė, will be the decided hometown favorite in front of what is expected to be 25,000-plus fans in the first world title fight in the 162-year history of Bramall Lane.
The 27-year-old Spence (21-0, 18 Kos) has long been considered one of boxing’s most prized prospects. The IBF’s No. 1 contender has knocked out eight straight opponents and has improved as his level of opposition has risen – his last six opponents held an impressive combined record of 151 wins against just eight losses. The Dallas resident travels abroad for this long-awaited title opportunity as he attempts to become the first American to dethrone an Englishman on British soil in nearly a decade.**
With both Spence and Brook affirming their intention to unify the division afterGegužė 27, see below for what legendary Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard and current top welterweights have to say aboutŠeštadienioIBF title matchup.
SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Former Undisputed Welterweight World Champion
“I’m really excited about this fight in particular, mainly because both fighters have to be on their A-game. I know there is talk about Kell’s eye surgery being a psychological problem, but from personal experience, I don’t see that being the case. I never thought about my eye once the doctor gave me the green light.
“To ask me who is going to win this fight, I have my favorite in Errol Spence. Bet, based on the each fighter’s physical artillery, one punch can turn the tables around. Cela dit, I am going to sit back and watch a great night of boxing.”
KEITH THURMAN – Unified WBA & WBC Welterweight World Champion
“This is an interesting fight. I have not followed Kell too much, but I have obviously seen Errol fight in the U.S. Errol is a tough, young fighter who is just getting into the public’s eye, and Kell obviously has the strength of the British crowd on his side.
“It should be a tough fight that really speaks to the strength of the welterweight division. Both fighters are men that I would be open to fighting as I continue to unify the division in 2018. As a fight fan, let’s see what’s ‘Special’ about Kell Brook, and we’ll see if Errol Spence can show us he’s ‘The Truth.’ It should be a great fight and I’ll be watching.”
DANNY GARCIA – Former Welterweight World Champion
“I think this is a 50/50 kova. I think the person with the better game plan is going to win. There is a lot of pressure to go into someone’s backyard like Spence is doing, and he’s never faced a fighter in his prime before like Brook. It is definitely a test for him and a big step up in competition. If he is ready, he can do it. He just has to go in there and stay focused.
“The welterweight division is the best division in boxing. I still feel like I am one of the best welterweights in the world even though I came up short. I never thought I would say a loss would make me stronger because I didn’t see myself losing. I want my titles back and to be seen as the best in the best division.”
SHAWN PORTER – Former Welterweight Champion & Current WBC No. 1 Contender
“I’m glad Errol is getting his title shot, and I’m happy he’s going to England for it. I’m obviously pulling for the American. Errol is a phenomenal athlete and a great boxer. I think he’s ready to show the world something, but Kell is right up there in that top tier of welterweights. People who tune in should be thrilled. I know I’m looking forward to it.
“The welterweight division is awesome, top to bottom. We’re right where we need to be and should be. Boxing returning back to the masses with PBC came at the perfect time for me and the rest of the top welterweights. There are so many of us capable of winning a title right now.”
LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (reguliarus) Welterweight World Champion
“This is going to be a tough fight, but I think Errol should win. At least I’m pulling for Errol to win. He’s got to overcome the idea that there will probably be 30,000 people cheering against him, so he has to show the judges that he deserves to win.
“Brook is a good fighter and is going to bring his best, but I think Errol, pabaigoje, is the better fighter. But he will have to prove it.
“The welterweight division is one of the best in boxing right now. We’ve got a lot of good fighters in their prime making the division strong. And guys are willing to fight each other. We are seeing the kind of fights the fans want to see. If this keeps up it could bring boxing back to where it was in the days when Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler all fought each other. So it’s really good for boxing right now.”
