All boxers had to have been inactive for at least three years, För att vara berättigad till NYSBHOF induktion, och alla värnpliktiga måste ha bott i staten New York för en betydande del av sina boxningskarriär.

Harold Weston and Melvina Latham

Harold Weston: “I guess there’s no comeback for me because I’ve been told when you go into the Hall of Fame, it’s over. Thanks for this honor. I wondered how long it was going to take (jokingly), you got it right this time. Boxing is my family. Min pappa, Gil Clancy and Emile Griffith, these guys brought me up. Boxing always got me to where I needed to go. Boxing made us the person we are today. This is an honor because there’s no Hall of Fame bigger than New York. Thanks a lot. I’m looking forward to the future.”

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Bobby Cassidy, Lonnie Bradley, Melvina Latham and Bobby Cassidy Jr. David Diamante is in back to far left.

Lonnie Bradley: “I’d like to thank everyone, especial these two guys (Bobby Cassidy and Bobby Cassidy, Jr). I called Bobby for advice. We met and then had a good ride for four years. He wanted a world champion, I wanted to be world champion, and we made the most of it. I’m happy that they’re part of my life and for me to be part of the Cassidy family. The bond is there because it’s a family affair.”

(L-R) – Henry Hascup, Saul Mamby and Melvina Latham

Saul Mamby: “I fought all over the world; one way to see the world. Most do it by taking a vacation. Mig, I went around the world fighting people. I went to South Korea and won the world title but nobody knew. In my first title defense against Estephan Jesus, people were stunned to hear Saul Mamby was champion of the world. A lot of people who fought never had a chance to fight for the championship of the world. I lost the title but…I was really ripped off. Thanks for putting me in the Hall of Fame. It’s an honor that I didn’t think would ever happen. I’m too old, 67, to fight but I still go to the gym. I think I can still do it but I’m not going to try. I appreciate this.”

Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Silverglade

Bruce Silverglade: “I’d like to thank Ring 8 and everybody on the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame nominating committee. I grew-up in Trenton, New Jersey, and my father was a police officer who liked boxing the best. After graduating from college, I worked at Sears Roebuck for 16 år. I called my father asking how I could get involved in boxing. I resigned from Sears Roebuck the next day and bought 50-percent of a gym with my profit sharing.I took over Gleason’s Gym in 1985. My concept of a gym was not just to train fighters, but for politics, heart and sports to come together. We’ve had concerts, off-Broadway plays, weddings and chamber music there. We founded a charity, ‘Give A Kid A Dream,’ i 1981 for kids 8-18 år. These kids could come from schools, orphanages, parole officers, or from mothers of troubled kids. Boxing is about discipline. They can go thee seven days a week. We’re not building champions as boxers, but champion citizens in New York City. The inspiration comes from my wife who is the driving force behind the gym. Thank you for this tremendous honor to be a Hall of Famer.”

Tommy Gallagher and his wife, Maureen

Tommy Gallagher: “Thank you to so many people. Boxing has been my life and I wanted my first gym in 1951. I was friends with Rocky Graziano and Billy Graham, who’d drop by my gym to tell us about fighters. This is a wonderful time in my life. I want to thank my wife and family.”

(L-R) – Joey Giambra and his son, Joey Giambra, Jr.

Joey Giambra: “Thank you all for coming out. I want to thank Bob Duffy and Ring 8. I’m honored and thank them for voting me in. I’m so honored and humbled.”

 

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Bob Miller, Melvina Latham and Miller’s wife, Linda

Bob Miller: “Thanks for inducting me into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. The people who’ve come before makes you realize what this means, I’ve trained, managed, promoted and been a cut-man. The best part is the relationships with fighters from so many different backgrounds. I have so many stories. I thank them for allowing me to be part of their lives and see things most wouldn’t. I’m humbled to be inducted in this class.”

Bob Duffy and his wife, Mary

Bob Duffy: “I want to thank Ring 8’s nominating committee for voting me into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and everybody who helped put this together like Keith Sullivan, ron McNair, Melvina Latham, Jack Hirsch and so many others. I want to congratulate the guys sitting up here. I had an office in Gleason’s Gym and worked Bobby Miller’s shows upstate. I’m very humbled. I grew up on the East Side of Manhattan in the projects. Vid 14, I had a chance to go to fights at The Garden because I lived only eight blocks away. This is a labor of love. I want to thank my family that has always been supportive. I’ve always felt family first, boxing second, and that’s been my life.”

During the NYSBHOF ceremonies, World Boxing Council (WBC) och Ring 8 honored the late Joe Dwyer and Tony Mazzarella, both longtime Ring 8 members who passed away earlier this year. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman made a special presentation to Dwyer’s family. Ring 8 made presentations to the Dwyer and Mazzarella families.

Lämna en kommentar

NEW YORK CITY (Jan. 27, 2015) – New York City boxning ledaren Tony Mazzarella avled efter en lång tids sjukdom den gångna Måndag vid en ålder av 75.

 

Under sin långa karriär inom boxning, Mazzarella var en före detta New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) Vice kommissionär och inspektör – heders- NYSAC vice kommissionär de senaste åren – Ring 8 kassör, New York State Sports kommissionen medlem, amatör (inklusive Golden Vantar och Borgmästarens Vecka Boxning) och professionell promotor (sampromotor av ring kampanjer) och stort inflytande i grundandet av staten New York Boxning Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

 

“Tony var en lojal, dedicerad ring 8 medlem i mer än 30 år,” hans nära vän och Ring 8 & NYSBHOF vd Bob Duffy sade.” Utan hans restaurang, Waterfront Crabhouse (i Long Island City), tjänstgör som hem för ringen 8, Jag tror inte att det skulle vara en ring 8 idag om inte för Tonys generositet och uthållighet. Han höll ring 8 levande och tack vare hans flit, Ring 8 har alltid hävdat sin integritet. Det var hans idé att grunda staten New York Boxning Hall of Fame.

 

“Vi var partners (Ring kampanjer) och goda vänner för det gångna 25 år. Tony fick vara en del av händelser, om det var att främja shower eller värd utmärkelsen middagar. Han var mycket generös mot fighters. Tony var också en bra baseball spelare och en ivrig anhängare. Han var en ledare och förblir en legend i New York City boxning. Han var utan tvekan den mest respekterade ring 8 medlem. Vi kommer alla att sakna Tony Mazarella mer än ord ensam kan riktigt beskriva.”
