Born to box Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Duben 27, 2020) — As the son of a prizefighter, International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee (“Class of 2015”) **Paprsek “Boom Boom” Mancini** was born to box, and the Youngstown, Ohio fighter climbed to the top of the sport’s mountain, capturing the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight title in 1982.

Mancini’s father, pozdě **Lenny “Boom Boom” Mancini**, boxed professionally from 1937 na 1947, kompilace 46-12-3 (16 KO) pro záznam. Lenny was the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the world in 1941 and considered a future world champion. Nicméně, his dream was sadly shattered when he was wounded during World War II. He returned to boxing after being discharged, but his physical issues due to the wound prevented him from fulfilling his once vast potential.

His son, Paprsek, took the mantle and ran with it to fame, glory and notoriety as a world champion. He started boxing young and had his first fight when he was 15 at the Junior Olympics in Cleveland. Ray had thought that he would have to wait until he turned 16, because that was the minimum age to compete in the Golden Gloves.

“When I heard that I could enter (the Junior Olympics),” Mancini remembered, “I pressured my father to let me go (to Cleveland). A very close family friend was training some guys in the next town over from us and he was taking some fighters to the Junior Olympics. He said he’d take me there. I won by first fight by first-round knockout and I wound up winning the regional title. I went on to the Mid-West Regional in Detroit and fought a local kid, **Sammy Fuentes**, to go to the Nationals. He beat me by decision, but I gained my first real lesson about boxing and life: experience is everything. It was my sixth amateur fight and I was told that Fuentes had more than 200. It did not deter me, vlastně, it made me hungrier to succeed.”

Succeed he did, despite his aggressive style that best suited the professional ranks much more than amateurs. He won 43 na 50 amateur matches, capturing top honors in the 1977 Youngstown Golden Gloves and Northeastern Ohio Golden Gloves. He also won the Northeast Ohio AAU Championship and reached the quarterfinals of the 1978 National AAU Tournament.

“I lost a close decision in the semifinals of the 1978 National Golden Gloves to two-time U.S. Olympian **Davey Armstrong**,” Mancini said. “I lost a decision to **Anthony Fletcher** in the quarterfinals of the 1978 National AAU Championships and once again in the championship final of the Ohio State Fair. In my last amateur fight, I lost a bad decision to defending National Champion **Melvin Paul** na 1979 Národní Golden rukavice Tournament. (Potom) I knew I wasn’t going to have another amateur fight and was going to turn pro.

“I had more of a pro style when I fought in the amateurs. Three rounds didn’t benefit me. I never had a four-round fight (jako pro). I started with six-rounders because, for my style, a three-round amateur or a four-round pro fight were pretty much the same for me. Six-rounders were more beneficial to me and that was proven right away.

“I knew I wouldn’t win any of the major amateur championships because of my style. Cestou, ačkoli, I beat some pretty good amateurs: **Darryl Chambers**,**Memo Arreola**, **Tim Christianson** a **Mark Chieverini**. My amateur career just made me even more hungry to win a World title as a pro.”

His seek and destroy style made him an instant favorite as a professional. “I had to be aggressive, as a fighter or on the playing field when I played other sports, because of my natural instincts,” Mancini explained. “I couldn’t sit back and wait for things to happen; I had to try and make things happen. I follow that thinking in my business life as well, but much like the fight game, you have to known when to attack and when to sit back and counter.”

Mancini, who some called a little Rocky Marciano because of the way he fought, turned pro October 18, 1979 in Struthers, Ohio, zastavení **Phil Bowen** v úvodním kole. Ray fought 15 times in his first year as a pro and extended his winning streak to 19, before he challenged World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight World champion **Alexis Arguello** (67-5), who won by way of a 14-round technical knockout, in a fight that was dead even after 10 kola. After the match, then future Hall of Famer Arguello was quoted as saying: “I think my heart is special, but his (Mancini) is bigger than I have. Someday he will be champion.”

Only seven months and three fights later, Mancini captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight World title way of a sensational first-round knockout of defending champion **Arturo Frias** (24-1). Ray dedicated that fight to his father, who was unable to become world champion, due to the wounds he suffered in World War II.

Mancini finished his pro career with a 29-5 (23 KO), which included victories against world champions **Bobby Chacon** (523-5-1), **Ernesto Espana** (35-4), Frias and **Jose Luis Ramirez** (71-3), and all five of his losses were to world champions – Arguello, **Hector Camacho**, **Greg Haughen** a **Livingstone Bramble** (dvakrát).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” řekl **Chris Cugliari**, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “Even though his in-ring success is primarily discussed at the professional level, the hunger to learn and grow as an amateur is something that inspires today’s USA Boxing champions. He is another example of a USA Boxing alumnus who experienced tremendous success resulting from experiences and lessons from his amateur days.”

Mancini is proud of his roots in Youngstown, which also produced world pro boxing champions such as **Harry Arroyo**, **Jeff Lampkin**, **Greg Richardson** a **Kelly Pavlik**.

“Growing up in Youngstown helped me tremendously as a fighter,” Mancini talked about his hometown. “We all knew what a tough town it was and is and we knew the stories of all the fighters, amateur and pro, who had left a mark before us. Growing up there, football and boxing were the two sports everybody talked about. If you left a mark in either one, people still talked about you long after you’re playing, or fight days were over. Tak, to succeed in a town like Youngstown, was a tremendous accomplishment in itself.”

The ultra-popular Mancini is one of the few boxers to have had a movie (“Heart of a Champion: The Ray Mancini Story)”), píseň (“Boom Boom Mancini” by Warren Zevon) and book (“The Good Son: The Life of Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini by Mark Kriegel) about him.

Dnes, the 59-year-old Mancini still resides in Youngstown, and he remains involved in boxing as a color commentator for PBC on Fox. He’s also been a member of the Ohio Boxing Commission for the last three years. “I’m involved (v boxu) as close as I want to be and can still be a fan,” přiznal. “What I miss most about the fight game is challenging myself mentally and emotionally, and to be able to “get up” and challenge myself physically on a daily basis. To stand in front of another man before the fight, right in the center of the ring, and say to myself, ‘Either you’re getting carried out of here tonight or I am, but one of us is getting carried out of here tonight,’ was my mentality. I miss that challenge!”

Looking back at his boxing career, Mancini maintains that he wouldn’t change a thing. “I can’t say I would do anything different, in retrospect, because I won the World title, successfully defended it four times, made good money and retired healthy,” Mancini concluded. “People still remember and talk about my fights and I made it into the International Boxing Hall of Fame, the ultimate shrine for fighters. Tak, why would I want to have done anything differently?”

One of the best all-time…. 1988 Olympic silver medalist Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe

Březen 10, 2020 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Březen 9, 2020) – By any standards, U.S.. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, amatérské a profesionální.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson aShannon Briggs, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingMuhammad Ali did,” Bowe explained why he got into boxing. “He was my idol. I wanted to join the Marines, but I fell in love with boxing and stayed with it. I forgot about the Marines.”

Bowe developed his craft and became an outstanding boxer, kompilace 104-18 amatérský záznam, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Jižní Korea.

A four-time New York Golden Gloves champion, Bowe also captured top honors at the 1986 Junior World Championships, along with a bronze medal at the 1987 Pan American Games, despite fighting in his final match with a fractured hand he hid from his coaches.

Bowe had a rivalry withRobert Salters, with whom he split four matches, but he defeated Salters, 3-2, v U.S.. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney aAndrew Maynard.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox Lewis, who returned home with the Olympic gold medal. During his fight with Lewis, Bowe was deducted a point for a “ghost” head butt that never happened, and the referee gave Bowe a pair of disputed standing-eight counts, the last of which resulted in the stoppage of the fight in Lewis’ favor.

“That fight never should have been stopped,” Bowe commented. “I’m still happy about winning a silver medal. I still have it. And then I turned pro. My mother had 13 kids and I wanted to make my mother happy. I wanted to buy her a house. That’s what inspired me to box.”

“Bowe’s success as an amateur and professional has made him a household name amongst USA Boxing Alumni,"ŘeklChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His combination of power and skill, along with his legendary battles with other USA Boxing Alumni at the pro ranks, establishes him as one of the greatest fighters that USA Boxing has ever produced.”

With legendary trainerEddie Futch ve svém koutě, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO.

Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 KO) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 KO) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 KO) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (dvakrát), Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes aHerbie Hyde.

Bowe later avenged his lone pro loss to Holyfield, winning two of three fights with the “Real Deal.”

“I’m very happy with my pro career,” Bowe added. “I beat Holyfield two times and I think it should have been three. I’m not a sore loser, but I was the World heavyweight champion. How did he win that fight? The challenger needs to take the belt from the champion, and he didn’t do that. I thought I won by a point, at worst, maybe it should have been a draw, but I shouldn’t have lost the fight. I did become the first to ever knockout Holyfield. My pro career wasn’t too bad. I kept working hard and became two-time World heavyweight champion.”

Nyní 51 and living in Maryland, Bowe has some advice for the American boxers trying to qualify for the 2020 Team USA Boxing Olympic Team.

“Just don’t think about it,” stressed Bowe, sounding like a Nike commercial. “Just do it! It worked for me. I showed up and didn’t think about it. And always finish strong.”

Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe, who was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2015, left his mark in amateur and pro boxing. Nobody can ever take that away from the big guy from Brownsville.

1988 Zlatý olympijský medailista „Nemilosrdný“ Ray Mercer Ohlíží se zpět na své olympijské zkušenosti

Únor 17, 2020 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Únor 11, 2020) - Třicet dva let poté, co získal olympijskou zlatou medaili, "Nemilosrdný" Ray Mercer rád vzpomíná na své olympijské zkušenosti, jako tomu bylo minulý měsíc. Obchodník střižním zbožím, který je jediným americkým šampionem v těžké váze, který vyřadil všechny své olympijské soupeře, se stal profesionálem pro našeho „dvojníka v těžké váze“.

Pro Mercera, všechno začalo v Německu, kde jeho USA. Armádní jednotka byla umístěna. Nabízí šanci vyhnout se 30dennímu polnímu cvičení, Mercer přijal nabídku sloužit jako sparring partner pro šampiona v boxu v těžké váze. Navzdory tomu, že si nikdy předtím neoblékl rukavice, Mercer se rychle učil a byl přirozeně silný, a rychle se vyvinul v 1985 U.S.. Armáda a meziútvarový šampion v těžké váze.

Program světové třídy pro sportovce (WCAP), ve kterém mají kvalifikovaní sportovci možnost trénovat na plný úvazek na olympiádě, tehdy neexistoval, ani dnešní pravidla olympijských kvalifikací. Mercer porazil budoucího mistra světa v těžké vázeTommy Morrison v úvodním kole 1988 Olympic Trials a další budoucí světový titul v těžké váze, Michael Bentt (5-0) ve finále šampionátu. Na 1988 Americké olympijské rozehrávky ve slavném Caesars Pala

co v Las Vegas, Mercer vyhrál rozhodnutí o rozdělení (3-2) o Benttovi, ale Mercer se již kvalifikoval do boje na olympijských hrách tím, že byl USA. Šampion ozbrojených sil.

"Když jsem byl v armádě.", Musel jsem ve službě vyhrát, udržovat věci, a přejděte k dalšímu kroku,“Mercer si pamatoval. "Na cestě na olympiádu jsem musel porazit několik dobrých bojovníků.", a byl jsem v nejlepší formě svého života. Amatéři měli více disciplíny než profesionální hodnosti. Poslední rok před olympijskými hrami, Opustil jsem domácí jednotku, hodně cestoval do boje, a místo bydlení v kasárnách zůstal v domě mého trenéra.

Mercer se zapsal do historie na 1988 Olympiády v Soulu, Jižní Korea, když se stal a zůstává jediným olympijským šampionem v těžké váze ze Spojených států, který knokautoval všechny čtyři své protivníky: Rudolf Gavenciak (Československo - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Itálie - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Nizozemsko - RSC2) aDobrý Hyun-Man (Jihokorejský - KO1).

"Věděl jsem, že musím ve finále knokautovat Jihokorejce.",“Připustil Mercer. "Jen jsem chtěl udělat, co jsem mohl, abych byl zlatým olympijským medailistou." Nemyslím si, že jsem použil úder.

"Získání zlaté olympijské medaile pro mě vedlo k velkým změnám." Stal jsem se celebritou, jméno domácnosti, a to mi umožnilo vydělat si peníze jako profesionál. Nejlepší věc, co se mi kdy stala, bylo získání zlaté olympijské medaile, ještě víc než zisk světového titulu jako profesionál. Nic ve srovnání se zlatým olympijským medailistou. Splnil jsem svůj sen. Nikdy jsem nesnil o tom, že půjdu pro, dokud jsem nezískal zlatou medaili.

"Bylo opravdu důležité vyhrát tu zlatou medaili." Bojoval jsem srdcem; nebyly zahrnuty žádné peníze, oslavoval tak tvrdě tu noc (po získání zlaté medaile) že jsem na pár hodin ztratil medaili. Můj sen se stal skutečností, třásly se mi ruce, a ztratil jsem medaili. Jaká noc!"

Mercer nabízí členům 2020 USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team jedna rada, "Pokračuj v boji.", následuj svůj sen a udělej ten poslední krok. “

Obchodník střižním zbožím, který se narodil v Jacksonville, Florida, debutoval hodně očekávaným profesionálním debutem v 1989, zastaveníJesse McGhee ve třetím kole jejich boje v Atlantic City. „Nemilosrdný“ vyhrál svůj první 18 Pro boje, včetně vyřazení devátého kolaFrancisco Damiani, následovala úspěšná obrana proti Morrisonovi, který byl zastaven v pátém kole.

Během své 19leté profesionální kariéry, Mercer sestavil a 36-7-1 (26 KO) záznam, v Damiani porazil čtyři mistry světa, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon aOssie Ocasio. Pět z jeho osmi kariérních ztrát bylo pro mistry světa: Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield aShannon Briggs.

"Ray představuje vše, na co je USA Boxing hrdý.","ŘeklChris Cugliari, Ředitel sdružení absolventů boxu v USA. "Jako armádní veterán.", Olympijský vítěz, a mistr světa v těžké váze, prokázal dokonalost a profesionalitu, která odráží to nejlepší z toho, co USA Boxing nabízí. “

Mercer’s outstanding amateur boxing career also included a classic match-up against Cuban great and three-time Olympic gold medalist, Felix Savon, at USA vs. Cuba dual match, in which Mercer twice staggered Savon, who survived without suffering additional damage only because the Cuban referee made a questionable intervention that gave his fellow countryman time to recover and a controversial 2-1 vítězství.

“And he gave me a standing eight-count for no reason,“Dodal Mercer. "Bil jsem toho chlapa a on to ví." Jsme stále v kontaktu, i když nemluví anglicky. Má překlad kamaráda a jsme v kontaktu na Facebooku. Máme se rádi. “

Dnes, Mercer zakládá charitu doma v Severní Karolíně, který bude zahrnovat bezplatné boxerské kliniky, ale, co je důležitější, vrátit komunitě a učit mladé lidi, zejména ty, které šikanují, dovednosti, které budou potřebovat, aby se dostali do skutečného světa.

Ray Mercer dosáhl vrcholu v boxu dvakrát jako zlatý olympijský medailista a mistr světa v těžké váze jako profesionál. Ne příliš ošuntělé pro někoho, kdo nikdy nechtěl boxovat.

"Box mi zachránil život.",“Zakončil Mercer. "Neumím si představit svůj život bez boxu.", rozhodně by to nebylo stejné.

Breland, ironicky, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, wow! I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.

“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”

Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 záznam, počítaje v to 19 průchodky, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Německo, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.

Na 1984 Olympijské hry, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Taylor, Pernell Whitaker, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman aTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 KO) záznam, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.

“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”

“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, Výkonný ředitel Asociace absolventů USA boxu. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 KO) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, velký 1992 USA OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Deontay Wilder, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.

“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

Listopad 29, 2019 FNU47 Zanechat komentář

***Třída 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana***

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Listopad 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, Prosinec 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S.. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Národní mistrovství, Prosince. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosince. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino.

**Sen. John McCain** will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: boxer, official, trenér, administrator and, samozřejmě, cut člověk. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

“From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “Byl jsem závislý. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.”

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions **Jermaine Taylor**, **Wayne McCollough** a **Tommy Morrison**.

“It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.”

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. Více, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: Silver Gloves, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, učitel, cut člověk, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” komentoval **Chris Cugliari**, Výkonný ředitel Asociace absolventů USA boxu. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83^rd narozeniny. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Arkansas, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Mississippi, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“At my age, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 léta, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, ačkoli, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Olympijský vítěz **Andrew Maynard**, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) **Joe Clough**, 1984 Olympijský vítěz **Frank Tate** a jeho bratr **Tomáš**, 1972 Olympian **Tim Dement**, 2002 Národní Golden rukavice vítěz **Jaidon Codringtion**, 1980 Olympic Qualifier **Jackie Beard**, 1981 Junior Olympics **Glen Modicue**, four-time National champion **Eric Kelly**, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion **John Scully**, **Obie Beard**, **Mark Lanton** aStephens brothers – **Donald**, **Anthony** a **Jerry**.

Třída 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Listopad 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, pozdě, velký“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, V pátek večer, Prosinec 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Olympijské zkoušky a 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosince. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George ForemanaMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches, Al Mitchell aRay Rodgers.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier řekl, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, kompilace 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. V úvodním kole, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Austrálie) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusko) V semifinálovém kole, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, versusHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 KO) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (dvakrát), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(dvakrát), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen aGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, Výkonný ředitel Asociace absolventů USA boxu. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13^th."

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Olympijský vítězAndrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympijský vítězFrank Tatea jeho bratrTomáš, 1972 OlympianTim Dement, 2002 Národní Golden rukavice vítězJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 Junior OlympicsGlen Modicue, four-time National championEric Kelly, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championJohn Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton aStephens brothers –Donald, Anthony aJerry.

Ray’s decades of service through coaching and mentorship for the youth of Arkansas have established him as a role model and inspiration for amateur boxing coaches everywhere.
