Born to box Ray “#Ekprosperi?o #Ekprosperi?o” Mancini

Aprilo 27, 2020 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aprilo 27, 2020) — As the son of a prizefighter, International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee (“Class of 2015”) **Ray “#Ekprosperi?o #Ekprosperi?o” 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, La lasta **Lenny “#Ekprosperi?o #Ekprosperi?o” Mancini**, boxed professionally from 1937 Al 1947, compiling a 46-12-3 (16 KOs) pro record. Lenny was the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the world in 1941 and considered a future world champion. Tamen, 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, Ray, 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, Fakte, 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 De 50 amatoraj matĉoj, 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** #?E la 1979 Nacia Oraj Gantoj-Turniro. (Post tio) 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 (as a 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. Laŭ la vojo, Tamen, I beat some pretty good amateurs: **Darryl Chambers**,**Memo Arreola**, **Tim Christianson** Kaj **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, Haltanta **Phil Bowen** en la komenca rondo. 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 Rondoj. 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 KOs), 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** Kaj **Livingstone Bramble** (Dufoje).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” Dirita **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** Kaj **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. Tiel, 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)”), song (“Boom Boom Mancini” by Warren Zevon) and book (“The Good Son: The Life of Ray “#Ekprosperi?o #Ekprosperi?o” Mancini by Mark Kriegel) about him.

#Hodia?, 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 (En bokso) as close as I want to be and can still be a fan,” li akceptis. “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. Tiel, why would I want to have done anything differently?”

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

Marto 10, 2020 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Marto 9, 2020) – By any standards, Usono. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, Amatora kaj profesiulo.

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

“I wanted to do everythingMahometo 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, compiling a 104-18 Amatora rekordo, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Sudkoreio.

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 Pajno amerikaj Ludoj, 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, en la U.S. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney KajAndrew 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,?? DiritaChris 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 En lia angulo, 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 KOs) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 KOs) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 KOs) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Holyfield (Dufoje), Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes KajHerbie 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.”

Nun 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 Olimpika ormedalisto "Senkompata" Ray Mercer Rerigardas sian olimpikan sperton

Februaro 17, 2020 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Februaro 11, 2020) – Tridek du jarojn post kiam li kaptis olimpikan oran medalon, "Senkompata" Ray Mercer ame memoras sian olimpikan sperton kiel pasintmonate. Mercer, kiu estas la nura amerika pezeguloĉampiono por bati senkonscie ĉiujn siajn olimpikajn kontraŭulojn, daŭriĝis por iĝi monda pezeguloĉampiono kiel profesiulo por nia "pezegoduoblo".

Por Mercer, ĉio komenciĝis en Germanujo, kie lia U.S. Armeunuo estis bazita. Ofertis ŝancon eviti 30-tagan kampan ekzercon, Mercer akceptis oferton funkcii kiel batalpartnero por la pezegulboksĉampiono de la poŝto. Malgraŭ neniam antaŭe surmeti paron da gantoj, Mercer estis rapida lernanto kiu estis nature forta, kaj li rapide evoluis en la 1985 Usono. Armeo kaj Inter-serva pezeguloĉampiono.

La Monda Klasa Atleta Programo (WCAP), en kiu kvalifikitaj atletoj havas ŝancon plentempe trejni por la Olimpikoj, ne ekzistis tiam, nek la olimpikaj kvalifikaj reguloj de hodiaŭ. Mercer venkis estontan mondan pezego-ĉampiononTommy Morrison en la komenca rondo de la 1988 Olimpikaj Provoj kaj alia estonta monda pezegulo titolisto, Michael Bentt (5-0) en la ĉampionecfinalo. Ĉe la 1988 Usona Olimpika Box-offs ĉe fama Caesars Pala

ce en Las Vegas, Mercer gajnis dividitan decidon (3-2) super Bentt, sed Mercer jam kvalifikiĝis por batali en Olimpikoj estante la U.S. ĉampiono de la Armitaj Fortoj.

“Kiam mi estis en la Armeo, Mi devis venki en la servo, konservi aferojn, kaj iru al la sekva paŝo,” Mercer memoris. "Mi devis venki kelkajn bonajn batalantojn survoje al la Olimpikoj, kaj mi estis en la plej bona formo de mia vivo. Estis pli da disciplino en la amatoroj ol la profesiaj rangoj. La lasta jaro antaŭ la Olimpikoj, Mi forlasis mian hejman unuon, multe vojaĝis por batali, kaj restis en la domo de mia trejnisto anstataŭ vivi en la kazerno.

Mercer faris historion ĉe la 1988 Olimpikoj en Seulo, Sudkoreio, kiam li iĝis kaj restas la nura olimpika pezego-ĉampiono de Usono por knokaŭti ĉiujn kvar el siaj kontraŭuloj: Rudolf Gavenciak (Ĉeĥoslovakio - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italio - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Nederlando - RSC2) KajBone Hyun-Man (Sudkorea - KO1).

"Mi sciis, ke mi devas knokaŭti la sudkoreon en la finalo,” Mercer konfesis. "Mi nur volis fari kion mi povis por esti la olimpika ormedalisto. Mi ne pensas, ke mi uzis pikon.

"Gajni la olimpikan oran medalon rezultigis kelkajn grandajn ŝanĝojn por mi. Mi fariĝis famulo, familia nomo, kaj ĝi permesis al mi gajni monon kiel profesiulo. La plej bona afero, kiu iam okazis al mi, estis gajni la olimpikan oran medalon, eĉ pli ol gajni la mondĉampionan titolon kiel profesiulo. Nenio kompare al iĝi olimpika ormedalisto. Mi plenumis mian revon. Mi neniam revis iĝi profesia, ĝis post kiam mi gajnis la oran medalon.

"Estis vere grave gajni tiun oran medalon. Mi batalis per mia koro; neniu mono estis implikita, festis tiel forte tiun nokton (post gajni la oran medalon) ke mi perdis mian medalon dum kelkaj horoj. Mia revo realiĝis, miaj manoj tremis, kaj mi perdis mian medalon. Kia nokto!?

Mercer ofertas membrojn de la 2020 Usona Boksado Olimpika Kvalifika Teamo unu konsilon, “Daŭre batalu, sekvu vian sonĝon kaj faru tiun lastan paŝon.”

Mercer, kiu naskiĝis en Jacksonville, Florido, faris sian tre atenditan profesian debuton en 1989, HaltantaJesse McGhee en la tria raŭndo de ilia batalo en Atlantic city. "Senkompate" gajnis sian unuan 18 Profesiaj bataloj, inkluzive de naŭa-raŭnda knokaŭto deFrancisko Damiani, sekvite per sukcesa defendo kontraŭ Morrison, kiu estis maldaŭrigita en la kvina raŭndo.

Dum lia 19-jara profesia kariero, Mercer kompilis a 36-7-1 (26 KOs) Rekordo, venkante kvar mondĉampionojn en Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon KajOssie Ocasio. Kvin el liaj ok karierperdoj estis al mondĉampionoj: Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield KajShannon Briggs.

"Ray reprezentas ĉion, kio fierigas USA Boxing,?? DiritaChris Cugliari, Usono Boxing Alumni Association Direktoro. “Kiel armea veterano, Olimpika ora medalulo, kaj pezego-ĉampiono de la mondo, li montris plejbonecon kaj profesiismon, kiuj reflektas la plej bonan el tio, kion USA Boxing havas por oferti."

La elstara amatora boksookariero de Mercer ankaŭ inkludis klasikan matĉon kontraŭ kuba bonega kaj trifoja olimpika ormedalisto., Felikso Sapo, ĉe Usono vs. Kuba duobla matĉo, en kiu Mercer dufoje ŝanceliĝis Savon, kiu travivis sen suferi plian damaĝon nur ĉar la kuba arbitraciisto faris dubindan intervenon, kiu donis al sia samlandano tempon por resaniĝi kaj polemikan. 2-1 venko.

“Kaj li donis al mi starantan ok-kalkulon sen kialo,” Mercer aldonis. “Mi batis tiun ulon kaj li scias ĝin. Ni ankoraŭ estas en kontakto kvankam li ne parolas la anglan. Li havas amikon tradukantan kaj ni kontaktas Facebook. Ni ŝatas unu la alian."

#Hodia?, Mercer fondas bonfaradon hejme en Norda Karolino, kiu inkluzivos senpagajn boksajn klinikojn, Sed, pli grave, redonu al la komunumo kaj instruu junulojn, precipe tiuj, kiuj estas ĉikanitaj, la kapablojn, kiujn ili bezonos por eliri en la realan mondon.

Ray Mercer atingis la zeniton dufoje en boksado kiel olimpika ormedalisto kaj monda pezego-ĉampiono kiel profesiulo. Ne tro malbona por iu, kiu neniam vere volis boksi.

“Boksado savis mian vivon,” konkludis Mercer. "Mi ne povas imagi mian vivon sen boksado, certe ne estus la sama.

The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kazino. 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 ForemanKaj “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell KajRay Rodgers.

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

“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withEvander (Holyfield) (Muhammad) Ali, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, Ironie, 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 Rekordo, Inkluzivanta 19 #Knoka?to, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Germanio, 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.

At the 1984 Olimpikaj Ludoj, 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 KajTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 KOs) Rekordo, 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, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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 KOs) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, great 1992 US OlympianVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, Deontay Pli #Sova?a, 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.”

Closing cuts & controlling blood flow leads 83-year-old Ray Rodgers into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

Novembro 29, 2019 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

***klaso de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano***

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 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, Decembro 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Usono. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Naciaj #?ampioneco, Dec. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kazino. Hall of Fame broadcaster **Al Bernstein** from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

**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, trejnisto, administrator and, Nature, cut man. “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, “I was hooked. 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** Kaj **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. Plus, 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, mentor, cut man, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” Rimarkita **Chris Cugliari**, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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 naskiĝtago. 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, Misisipio, 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 Jaroj, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, Tamen, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Olimpika ora medalulo **Andrew Maynard**, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) **Joe Clough**, 1984 Olimpika ora medalulo **Frank Tate** and his brother **Thomas**, 1972 Olympian **Tim Dement**, 2002 Naciaj Oraj Gantoj #?ampiono **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** Kaj laStephens brothers – **Donald**, **Anthony** Kaj **Jerry**.

“Smokin’”Joe Frazier punched way into USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

Novembro 25, 2019 FNU47 Lasi rimarkon

klaso de 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, La lasta, great“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Vendredo nokte, Decembro 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Olympic Trials and 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Luiziano. 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 ForemanKajMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches, Al Mitchell KajRay 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 Dirita, “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 beatMahometo 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, compiling a 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. In the opening round, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (#A?stralio) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusio) en la ĉirkaŭvojo duonfinalo, 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, #Kontra?Hans 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 KOs) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMahometo Ali, Jimmy Ellis (Dufoje), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(Dufoje), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen KajGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ?, 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, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “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.?
