NEW YORK – April 15, 2021 – From 1980 xuyên qua 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, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, và Sugar 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, Tháng sáu 6 tại 8 giờ chiều. VÀ / PT trên 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, tương ứng, but many consider both as one of, nếu khôngcác,all-time best in their respective categories.
Phía dưới, 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, và tôi nghĩ, ‘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 của vòng thứ ba, 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. Hiện nay, 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 /Ring, 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.”
– Ron 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.”
– Tim 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 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 ofđiều đó máy chụp hình. 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.”
– Colin 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.”
– Larry Merchant, 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, and many others, 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, and 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

NEW YORK – April 12, 2021 -Trong đấm bốc, it is said that styles make fights. Từ 1980 xuyên qua 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, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, và Sugar 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.
SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS today announcedTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fighters’ dramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Tháng sáu 6 tại 8 giờ chiều. 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. Bụi cây. 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,"Stephen Espinoza, Chủ tịch, SHOWTIME Sports. “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.
Từ 1979 xuyên qua 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 byThe Ringmagazine as “Fight of the Year.” The Ringmagazine “Round of the Year” (and to many, the round of all time) from round one of Hagler-Hearns is, có lẽ, 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.
THE KINGSis produced by Box To Box Film in association with Ingenious Media.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Vạt áo. (Tháng sáu 4, 2020) - Như nhiều võ sĩ quyền anh, hai bộ phận vô địch thế giới "Gà trống" Jose Antonio Rivera tín dụng quyền anh vì đã cứu sống anh ấy.
"Chắc chắn rồi,”Rivera đồng ý. “Sau khi mẹ tôi qua đời khi tôi 10 tuổi, Tôi đã từ bỏ cuộc sống và việc ra quyết định của tôi phản ánh điều đó: quanh quẩn với đám đông sai bao gồm cả các thành viên băng đảng, uống rượu ở độ tuổi 10 và 15. Tôi chắc chắn đã đi sai hướng.
“Tôi chưa bao giờ nghĩ mình có tương lai cho đến khi bắt đầu tập quyền anh. Thật khó để nói tôi sẽ làm gì nếu tôi chưa bao giờ đóng hộp, nhưng theo cách tôi đang sống, Bây giờ có lẽ tôi sẽ phải ngồi tù hoặc đã chết. "
Sinh ra ở Philadelphia, Rivera sống ở Puerto Rico và Springfield, MA, trước khi anh ta chuyển đến Worcester, MA, nơi anh ấy gặp một người đàn ông đã giúp thay đổi cuộc đời anh ấy, Carlos Garcia, người phụ trách một chương trình quyền anh đặc biệt tại Worcester Boys & Câu lạc bộ các cô gái.
Rivera đã bắt đầu chơi quyền anh ở tuổi 14 ½ trong một tầng hầm với bạn của anh ấy, Felix Lopez. Anh ấy đã yêu quyền anh sau khi xemRoberto Duran buồn“Đường” Ray Leonard trong cuộc chiến đầu tiên của họ. Chàng trai trẻ người Mỹ gốc Puerto Rico đặc biệt sử dụng kinh nghiệm chơi quyền anh nghiệp dư của mình để chuẩn bị lên hạng chuyên nghiệp. Garcia, ai đang ở trong Đại sảnh vinh danh Găng tay vàng quốc gia, đưa anh ta vào một trận đấu mới chỉ sau một trận đấu nghiệp dư để đưa Rivera vào con đường nhanh, bởi vì anh ấy hiểu rằng Rivera mơ ước trở thành nhà vô địch thế giới với tư cách là một người chuyên nghiệp. Rivera đã hoàn thành với một 35-15 kỷ lục amateur, được đánh dấu bằng màn trình diễn huy chương đồng tại PAL Nationals.
“Tôi chưa bao giờ có khát vọng nghiệp dư lớn nhưng, tất nhiên, Tôi muốn giành chiến thắng trong mọi trận đấu mà tôi đã tham gia,”Rivera nói. “Một khi tôi không đủ điều kiện tham dự Olympic Trials, kế hoạch của tôi là trở thành chuyên nghiệp. Tôi không biết những người nghiệp dư sẽ chuẩn bị cho tôi đến mức nào để trở thành một võ sĩ chuyên nghiệp thành công. Tôi rất vui vì tôi đã lắng nghe huấn luyện viên của mình, nếu không thì tôi đã trở nên chuyên nghiệp sớm hơn, bởi vì tôi sẽ cảm thấy thất vọng với chính trị của những người nghiệp dư. Tôi ghét thua cuộc, nhưng tôi càng ghét thua hơn khi biết rằng lẽ ra mình phải thắng. Sau ba năm bên nhau (với Garcia) theo nghiệp dư và có được vô số kinh nghiệm đi du lịch khắp New England, đất nước và thậm chí chiến đấu ở Canada, Tôi đã nhìn thấy tất cả các loại phong cách và những võ sĩ tài năng đã giúp tôi trở thành một người chuyên nghiệp. Carlos giống như một người cha đối với tôi và trong suốt quá trình đào tạo và đi lại của chúng tôi, anh ấy luôn ở trong đầu tôi, xây dựng tôi để trở thành một võ sĩ giỏi, mà còn để giúp tôi trở thành một người đàn ông tốt hơn ”.
Ngày 7, 1992, Rivera ra mắt chuyên nghiệp, gõ raFrancisco Mercedes trong vòng thứ hai. Anh ấy đã giành được chiến thắng đầu tiên của mình 23 cuộc chơi chuyên nghiệp, bao gồm cả chức vô địch hạng cân của Bang Massachusetts ở 1995. Trận thua chuyên nghiệp đầu tiên của anh ấy là trước võ sĩ kỳ cựu của PhiladelphiaWillie Wise (20-3-4), người đã giành chiến thắng trong quyết định chia 10 vòng gây tranh cãi tại Foxwoods Resort Casino ở Connecticut. Rivera đã chứng minh rằng anh ta còn hơn cả một khách hàng tiềm năng trong lần thua đầu tiên, mất một quyết định gần gũi (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) cho một đối thủ làm thất vọng biểu tượng MexicoJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) chỉ ba năm sau.
Thể hiện cùng khả năng phục hồi đã gắn bó với Rivera trong suốt sự nghiệp của anh ấy, hai cuộc chiến sau đó Rivera dừng lạiGilberto Flores trong hai hiệp để nắm giữ Tổ chức Quyền anh Quốc tế (IBO) vô địch hạng cân hàn thế giới. Rivera đã kéo dài chuỗi trận thắng mới của mình lên con số bảy, trước khi thua trở lại chiến đấu trở lại. Bốn trận đấu sau đó, tuy nhiên, Rivera đã đăng ký chiến thắng tuyên bố đầu tiên của mình trong 2001, gõ raFrankie Randall (55-10-1) trong 10th vòng để giữ lại Hiệp hội Quyền anh Bắc Mỹ của anh ấy (Ngoài ra) vương miện trong lần bảo vệ đầu tiên của mình.
Hiện được thăng chức bởi Don King huyền thoại, Rivera đã đi qua Đại Tây Dương vào tháng 9 2003 Tới Đức, nơi mà rất ít người Mỹ có thể giành chiến thắng. Rivera sớm chứng minh rằng anh ấy có ý kinh doanh, hạ gục trước đó bất bạiMichel Trabant trong vòng thứ hai trên đường giành chiến thắng theo đa số 12 hiệp quyết định cho Hiệp hội Quyền anh Thế giới còn trống (WBA). Triều đại của anh ấy, tuy nhiên, không tồn tại lâu. Trong lần bảo vệ đầu tiên của anh ấy, Rivera đã thua trong 12 hiệp đấu quyết định trên sân nhà ở Worcester trước kẻ thách thứcLuis Collazo (24-1)
Rivera tăng một hạng cân cho trận đấu tiếp theo, thể hiện khả năng phục hồi là yếu tố quan trọng trong sự nghiệp của anh ấy cho cuộc chiến tiếp theo của anh ấy, cũng ở nhà, chống lại nhà vô địch thế giới hạng trung WBA hạng trungAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
Trong trận chiến tiếp theo và lần đầu tiên bảo vệ danh hiệu thế giới thứ ba của mình, Rivera lần đầu tiên bị dừng lại trong sự nghiệp thi đấu chuyên nghiệp của mình, bởi nhà vô địch mớiTravis Simms (24-0), và sau đó anh ta bị hạ gục bởiDaniel Santos (24-0) trong vòng tám của kẻ loại bỏ danh hiệu hạng trung trẻ WBA của họ.
Rivera đã nghỉ hưu ở 2008 chỉ để trở lại trong 2001, sau đó anh ấy giải nghệ một lần nữa cho đến khi trở lại cho hai trận đấu ở Worcester để hoàn thành sự nghiệp chuyên nghiệp của mình với 50 chiến đấu, người cuối cùng đến ở tuổi 46.
“Những kinh nghiệm đấm bốc của Jose ở Mỹ đã định hình anh ấy thành người đàn ông có tính cách như ngày nay, cả trong và ngoài của vòng,"NóiChris Cugliari, Giám đốc cựu sinh viên quyền anh Hoa Kỳ. “Anh ấy đã đi con đường ít đi cho một nhà vô địch thế giới, và khi làm như vậy, anh ấy đã thể hiện sự dẻo dai và kiên trì của mình.
Hiệp hội cựu sinh viên quyền anh Hoa Kỳ

Rivera là một nhà vô địch thế giới lao động thực sự. Rất ít nhà vô địch thế giới cũng có công việc toàn thời gian trong thời gian họ trị vì danh hiệu. Rivera đã sử dụng thời gian đi nghỉ, cũng như những ngày cá nhân và ốm đau, khi anh ấy đến trại huấn luyện cho một số trận đánh lớn của mình.
“Tôi luôn có một đạo đức làm việc tốt khi lớn lên," Anh ấy đã giải thích. “Khi tôi chuyển đến Worcester tại 16 tuổi, Tôi đã sống một mình: trường học, công việc, và sau đó đến Những chàng trai & Câu lạc bộ cô gái để đào tạo. Tôi vẫn giữ nguyên đạo đức làm việc mà tôi đã có 19 khi tôi trở thành chuyên nghiệp. Tôi đã trở thành một người cha tại 20, vì vậy việc cung cấp cho gia đình tôi là điều cần thiết. Mặc dù nó rất khó, Tôi biết quyền anh sẽ không tồn tại mãi mãi, và tôi đã may mắn tìm được một công việc tốt khi làm việc cho Tòa án xét xử của Khối thịnh vượng chung Massachusetts. Nó được tạo ra trong những ngày dài khi tôi luyện tập, đặc biệt là khi tôi đang chiến đấu cho hoặc bảo vệ chức vô địch thế giới của mình. đến cuối cùng, tuy nhiên, giữ công việc của tôi là quyết định tốt nhất mà tôi có thể làm cho tôi và gia đình của tôi. "
Rivera. từng là Phó Chánh án Tòa án trong nhiều năm và được thăng chức vào năm ngoái lên Trợ lý Chánh án Tòa án, vẫn tham gia vào quyền anh. Anh ấy và con trai lớn của anh ấy, A.J. Rivera, sở hữu và điều hành một công ty quảng cáo quyền anh, Rivera Khuyến mãi Giải trí, để tạo cơ hội cho các võ sĩ trẻ trong khu vực của mình chiến đấu thường xuyên hơn và ở nhà.

Sugar Ray Leonard, Errol Spence Jr., Keith Thurman, Manny Pacquiao & More Discuss Saturday, Tháng chín 8 Matchup Live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn & Được trình bày bởi Premier Boxing Champions

Here is what a group of current and former welterweight fighters had to say about the Garcia vs. Porter world title showdown:
ĐƯỜNG RAY LEONARD, Hội trường của hộ chăn nuôi & 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. Nhưng đối với cuộc chiến này, it’s hard to go against Danny Garcia. I pick Danny Garcia to win a split decision.”
KEITH Thurman, WBA hạng bán trung World Champion; Former Unified Champion
“I honestly love this fight, and I consider it a tremendous battle and one of the best matchups of the year. Đối với tôi, 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
“Tôi nghĩ rằng nó sẽ là một trận đấu nhịp độ nhanh. 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, Người nặng 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 RIOS, Cựu vô địch thế giới & 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, Người nặng Prospect
“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., Người nặng 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.”

Báo giá & PICTURES FROM THE NYSBHOF INDUCTEES
(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez and Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “I want to thank Ring 8 for the opportunity for me to be here. I’d also like to thank my wife for always being there for me, and my trainer.”
(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski and Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “If I have made any contributions to boxing – I hope I have – I did by redefining record keeping and creating a new perspective on boxing history. I’m proud of that, but I didn’t do it alone.”
(L-R) – Joe MESI, Jack Hirsch and Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “I have so many people to thank for this honor. I’m a Buffalonian. There’s nobody more in favor of one New York, but it’s not. This is special for me because it’s the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This solidifies me and makes me think I’m not just a local boy. There was a huge disadvantage coming from a small city, sparring wasn’t the same as in the gyms of New York City, but I had an advantage coming from Western New York. Nobody was welling out like we did in Buffalo with 10,000, sau đó 16,00 and finally 18,000 người. They were always behind me and I share this with them because their support made me. My dream was to fight in Buffalo and to continue to fight there.
“One of the highlights of my life was fighting Monte Barrett on HBO in Madison Square Garden. He was one of the greatest fighters in the world who fought for the world title. I always wanted to get my world title shot, but I never got it. That’s okay, I was little bitter for a while, but I couldn’t be happier with my career. The best part of boxing is the brotherhood we share.
(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens and Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “I know people always say it, but this is the truth: I owe so many people who have supported me throughout my career. Boxing has always been home away from home for me and today I feel like I’m home.
“Tôi là 30, living in Brooklyn Heights, and back driving a taxi a waiting on tables. A light went off in my head: boxing is the sport of the underdog and I’m an underdog. The next day I went to Gleason’s Gym – the center of the universe. I made my way around all the gyms in the city, meeting promoters, managers and trainers. I started making matches for promoters and then Cedric Kushner hired me from 1980-2002. Trong 2002, I got a call to work for the New York State Athletic Commission as its Community Co-Ordinator and Director of Boxing. Sau đó,, I was made chairman and I served two terms. Ngày nay, I’m extremely proud to be part of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.
(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman and Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “I can’t believe this crowd. In order to do what we do, the sacrifices and support you get from your family is so important and (in Goodman’s case) was for so many years. They allowed us to do what we do. All of us love boxing!”
(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins and Bob Duffy
AL COLE: “I thought boxing was the stupidest and dumbest sport ever. Who wanted to get punched in the face? I started boxing late. I played around some and people said I was pretty good. I started boxing when I was 20, in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood. Four years later, I was on the Olympic Team. The reason why is I had a great sparring partner, Ray Mercer. If I was going to be in the ring everyday with Ray, I was either going to get beat up, or get better.
“I remember Bob Arum giving me his business card. I didn’t know him. I only knew of three people in boxing: Don King, Muhammad Ali và Sugar Ray Leonard. I didn’t follow boxing and the only reason I boxed was I would have had to sleep in the woods if I didn’t (in Army). Boxing is: hit him, before he hits me.”
(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin and Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “I want to thank the board. I’m going to be 70 and started in boxing when I was 18. It created a new direction in my life. I’m so proud to be in company with guys who didn’t just talk it, they loved it. If you really love this sport, you really have to learn it. Any man who stepped in the ring, plus all the roadwork, time in the gym and sacrificing what they eat, did it to be the best they can be.
“Trong đấm bốc, you’re not going to win every fight, but whether a fighter wins or loses, if he gives 100-percent, he’s a winner. They work a job, run five miles day, workout at the gym, and then went home to spend time with his family. Friends and family always have your back.”
(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “I’m speechless. It’s wonderful. Thô lổ (former NYSAC chairperson Gordon), do you remember this story? There were only three judges and, không may, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to worktối nay. I said that I wasn’t licensed and couldn’t do it. Randy said, ‘Raise your right hand’, and it was on. I was thrown in there, but it was okay.
“My greatest accomplishments are my children and husband. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. Và Ralph Petrillois part of my family; he was my second in command. I also had the best officials: deputy commissioners, inspectors, judges and referees. I wouldn’t be here with without them. Bob Duffy put this whole thing together. I personally think he’s amazing. My journey continues, I am blessed.”

(L-R) – Bob and Murray Goodman
NEW YORK (Tháng ba 26, 2018) – Boxing lifersBob Goodman và cha mình, cuối Murray Goodman, are among 23 members of the Class of 2018 being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) trên Chủ nhật buổi chiều (12:30-5:30 giờ chiều. VÀ), Tháng tư 29.
The seventh annual NYSBHOF induction dinner will be held once again at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.
A legendary boxing publicist, Murray Goodman (Bronx) brought his son into the sweet science when Bob was only eight years old. The rest was historic for the Goodmans, who are both inductees in several Halls of Fame, including the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
“This is a great honor for me and my father,” Bob said. “I wish he were alive today to be there. I’m a boxing lifer. I was eight years old going to all the training camps with my father, who was a boxing writer and sports editor for the INS (Hearst News Service) dịch vụ. The joke is I was conceived at Grossinger’s (Catskill Resort Hotel training camp). Boxing just came into my life. My dad and I had some businesses in promotions and public relations, all different kinds of sports-related businesses, but there was always boxing.
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I was brought up doing the very things I loved. How many people can say that? I met and became friends with Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano and so many others. I’d stay in camps for weeks. I’d get up to run with the boxers and got a chance to be around my heroes. I also got to know trainers and others in boxing and later fans. I got to know everybody. I was brought up in boxing, my whole life was boxing, 65 years in the business.”
Bob is, có lẽ, best known as Vice President and Matchmaker for Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), as well as a quarter-century serving as Vice President of Boxing Operations, Matchmaker and Director of Public Relations for Don King Productions. He also promoted many world champions as President of his own company, Garden State Boxing.
“I remember going away to training camps for weeks at a time,” the 78-year-old Goodman fondly remembered. “I’d take pictures, write stories every day and use my telecopier to send them to AP and UPI. I did so much being brought up un the business, even loading trucks up with chairs, chiếc nhẫn, speakers and more. My father was the Publicity Director for the International Boxing Club at Madison Square Garden. I worked there when I was a teenager.
“I’m honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame with my father and so many boxing guys. They’re different from people in any other sports. One of the awards I’ve won that I’m most proud of is the James J. Walker Memorial Award for Long and Meritorious Service to Boxing (BWAA in 1960).
“I’m fortunate to have transcended various eras in boxing. It was a different world back then, we had 20-30 writers stay for weeks at training camps. I got to know old-time boxers and trainers.”

Goodman, who served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1958-62, stays active today working with veterans’ groups. He is President of the Weymouth Township Veteran’s Advisory Board, and also active with the American Legion and part of the Honor Guard with the Korean War Veterans Association.

Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & More Discuss The Latest In Series Of Welterweight Blockbusters
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Sống ở 5:15 giờ chiều. VÀ/2:15 giờ chiều. PT From Bramall Lane In Sheffield, Nước Anh
NEW YORK (Có thể 23, 2017) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated rising star Errol Spence face offThứ bảy này sống trên SHOWTIME (5:15 giờ chiều. VÀ/2:15 giờ chiều. PT) in the latest in a series of significant welterweight matchups between the best fighters in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.
Six of the top eight welterweights in the world* will have fought in the first five months of 2017 – all on SHOWTIME or CBS – as a de facto tournament continues in the 147-pound class to determine the No. 1 fighter in a division long controlled by the retired Floyd Mayweather.
*Source: Transnational Boxing Rankings
WBA and WBC Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman unified the titles onTháng ba 4with a split-decision victory over Danny Garcia in a rare matchup of undefeated champions. Lamont Peterson picked up the secondary WBA Regular title onTháng Hai. 18, và hơn thế nữa Tháng tư 22Shawn Porter knocked out Andre Berto to become the mandatory challenger to Thurman’s WBC belt. The remaining welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, is set to defend his WBO title against Jeff Horn onTháng bảy 2.
Now it’s Brook and Spence’s turn to take center stage in boxing’s glamour division.
Thứ bảy này ở Sheffield, Nước Anh, Suối nhỏ (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, người đã không bao giờ được rời, 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 afterCó thể 27, see below for what legendary Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard and current top welterweights have to say aboutThứ bảy củaIBF 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. Nhưng, based on the each fighter’s physical artillery, one punch can turn the tables around. Điều đó đang được nói, 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 cuộc chiến đấu. 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 (Regular) 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, in the end, 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.”
