Lahir dari box Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan April 27, 2020) — Sebagai putra petarung hadiah, International Boxing Hall of Fame dilantik (“Kelas 2015”) Sinar “Boom Boom” Mancini lahir ke kotak, dan Youngstown, Petarung Ohio naik ke puncak gunung olahraga, menangkap Asosiasi Tinju Dunia (WBA) judul ringan di 1982.

Ayah Mancini, akhir Lenny “Boom Boom” Mancini, kotak secara profesional dari 1937 untuk 1947, kompilasi 46-12-3 (16 Biaya) catatan pro. Lenny adalah Tidak. 1 peringkat ringan di dunia dalam 1941 dan dianggap sebagai juara dunia masa depan. Namun Begitu, mimpinya sedih hancur ketika dia terluka selama Perang Dunia II. Dia kembali ke tinju setelah keluar, tetapi masalah fisiknya karena luka mencegahnya untuk memenuhi potensinya yang dulu sangat besar.

Anak laki-lakinya, Sinar, mengambil mantelnya dan membawanya ke ketenaran, kemuliaan dan ketenaran sebagai juara dunia. Dia mulai bertinju muda dan melakukan pertarungan pertamanya ketika dia masih muda 15 di Olimpiade Junior di 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, faktanya, 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 dari 50 pertandingan amatir, 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. Olimpiade 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 pada 1979 Golden Gloves nasional Turnamen. (Setelah itu) 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 (sebagai 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. Sepanjang jalan, meskipun, I beat some pretty good amateurs: Darryl Chambers,Memo Arreola, Tim Christianson dan 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, henti Phil Bowen di babak pertama. 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 putaran. 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 Biaya), 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 dan Livingstone Bramble (dua kali).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” tersebut Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “Meskipun kesuksesannya di ring terutama dibahas di tingkat profesional, rasa lapar untuk belajar dan tumbuh sebagai seorang amatir adalah sesuatu yang menginspirasi juara Tinju USA saat ini. Dia adalah contoh lain dari alumnus USA Boxing yang mengalami kesuksesan luar biasa sebagai hasil dari pengalaman dan pelajaran dari masa amatirnya.”

Mancini bangga dengan akarnya di Youngstown, yang juga menghasilkan juara tinju profesional dunia seperti Harry Arroyo, Jeff Lampkin, Greg Richardson dan Kelly Pavlik.

“Tumbuh di Youngstown sangat membantu saya sebagai seorang pejuang,” Mancini bercerita tentang kampung halamannya. “Kami semua tahu betapa sulitnya kota itu dan kami tahu cerita dari semua pejuang, amatir dan pro, yang telah meninggalkan bekas di hadapan kita. Tumbuh di sana, sepak bola dan tinju adalah dua olahraga yang dibicarakan semua orang. Jika Anda meninggalkan bekas di salah satunya, orang-orang masih membicarakan Anda lama setelah Anda bermain, atau hari-hari pertarungan telah berakhir. Jadi, untuk sukses di kota seperti Youngstown, merupakan pencapaian yang luar biasa.”

Mancini yang sangat populer adalah salah satu dari sedikit petinju yang pernah menonton film (“Heart of a Champion: Kisah Ray Mancini)”), lagu (“Boom Boom Mancini” oleh Warren Zevon) dan buku (“Anak Baik: Kehidupan Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini oleh Mark Kriegel) tentang dia.

Hari Ini, Mancini yang berusia 59 tahun masih tinggal di Youngstown, dan dia tetap terlibat dalam tinju sebagai komentator warna untuk PBC di Fox. Dia juga menjadi anggota Komisi Tinju Ohio selama tiga tahun terakhir. “Saya terlibat (dalam tinju) sedekat yang saya inginkan dan masih bisa menjadi penggemar,” ia mengaku. “Yang paling saya rindukan dari game pertarungan ini adalah menantang diri sendiri secara mental dan emosional, dan untuk bisa “bangun” dan menantang diri saya secara fisik setiap hari. Untuk berdiri di depan pria lain sebelum pertarungan, tepat di tengah ring, dan berkata pada diriku sendiri, "Entah kau dibawa keluar malam ini atau aku, tapi salah satu dari kita dibawa keluar malam ini,’ adalah mentalitas saya. Saya merindukan tantangan itu!”

Melihat kembali karir tinjunya, Mancini menegaskan bahwa dia tidak akan mengubah apapun. “Saya tidak dapat mengatakan saya akan melakukan sesuatu yang berbeda, dalam retrospeksi, karena saya memenangkan gelar juara dunia, berhasil mempertahankannya empat kali, menghasilkan banyak uang dan pensiun dengan sehat,” Mancini menyimpulkan. “Orang-orang masih ingat dan berbicara tentang pertarungan saya dan saya berhasil masuk dalam Hall of Fame Tinju Internasional, kuil pamungkas bagi para pejuang. Jadi, mengapa saya ingin melakukan sesuatu yang berbeda?”

Tinggalkan komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Maret 9, 2020) – By any standards, DIRI KITA. Olympian and former unified World heavyweight champion Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe is inarguably one of the all-time greatest boxers, amatir dan profesional.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, New York, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsMike Tyson danShannon 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, kompilasi 104-18 catatan amatir, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea Selatan.

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, di luar AS. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedRoy Jones, Jr., Ray Mercer, Kennedy McKinney danAndrew 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,"KataChris 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.”

“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.”

Saat Ini 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.

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

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Desember 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Mark Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Bulan Desember 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 DIRI KITA. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Kejuaraan Nasional, Desember. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Desember. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Kasino. 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 Foremandan “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesAl Mitchell danRay 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) Adalah, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ironisnya, 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 catatan, termasuk di dalamnya 19 KO, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Jerman, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 Biaya) catatan, 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 (sebagai pelatih); 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, Direktur Eksekutif Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS. “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.”

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, “Aku ketagihan. 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 dan 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. Lebih Banyak, 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, penasihat, cut man, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” berkomentar Chris Cugliari, Direktur Eksekutif Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, dan kami berharap untuk menghormatinya di bulan Desember.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83rd ulang tahun. 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 tahun, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, meskipun, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Peraih medali emas Olimpiade Andrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Peraih medali emas Olimpiade Frank Tate dan saudaranya Thomas, 1972 Olimpiade Tim Dement, 2002 Juara Golden Gloves nasional 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 danStephens kakak beradik – Donald, Anthony dan Jerry.

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

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (November 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, akhir, bagus deh“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Jumat malam, Bulan Desember 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 Olympic Trials and 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Desember. 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 ForemandanMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coaches, Al Mitchell danRay 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 tersebut, “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, kompilasi 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. Di babak pembukaan, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australia) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusia) di babak semifinal, 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, melawanHans 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 Biaya) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis (dua kali), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(dua kali), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Doug Jones, Eddie Machen danGeorge 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, Direktur Eksekutif Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS. “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 13th."

Jamel “Semper Fi” Herring Patriot, Olimpiade & now World Champ

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Juni 13, 2019) – Newly crowned World Boxing Organization (WBO) super featherweight champion Jamel “Semper Fi” Ikan haring has been a fighter practically all his life as a U.S. Marine and elite boxer.

The 33-year-old Herring (20-2, 10 Biaya), fighting out of Cincinnati, has come full circle since he started boxing at the age of 15. “I started because I was doing poorly in school, cut from the basketball team,” he explained on why he chose the Sweet Science. “I didn’t want to be in the streets. It was not my character, so I had to find something else to do. A friend introduced me to boxing and I stuck with it. I eventually got my grades back up and made high honor roll.”


Herring also developed into an Olympic boxer, mostly while he was serving nine years in the U.S. Marines, and even when he was deployed twice in Iraq. He compiled an 81-15 catatan amatir, including top honors at the 2011 & 2012 Armed Forces Championships, 2011 DIRI KITA. Olympic Trials and 2012 US Nationals gold medalist, along with a silver medal at the 2010 World Military Games. He was the first active duty U.S. Marine to qualify for the US Boxing Team since 1992, as well as the first U.S. Marine to compete in the 2012 Olimpiade.

“I boxed a little during my second deployment during free time,” he noted. “I came back from my second deployment toward the end of 2007 and began boxing for the Marine Corps in 2008. Most of my amateur career came under the Marine Corps. I learned a lot traveling with the Marine Corps. I got to see more styles and competed in national tournaments as a Marine. They also had the funding to send me.”

The highlight of his amateur career was representing his country at the 2012 Olympics in London as captain of Team USA. Although he lost (19-9) in the opening round to two-time Kazakh boxer Daniyar Yeleussinov, who won gold at the 2013 World Championships and later at the 2016 Olimpiade, the opening Olympic ceremonies was the most memorable moment of his entire amateur boxing career for a special reason.

“That was the anniversary of my daughter’s passing,” Herring said. “It let me know that no matter what, you can still accomplish anything, even through ups and downs.”

Other members of the 2012 USA Olympic Team Herring captained included present day world champions in the pro ranks such as Errol Spence, Jr., Claressa Shields dan Marcus Browne, Mantan juara dunia Rau’Shee Warren, and world title challengers Terrell Gausha, Michael Hunter dan Dominic Breazeale.


Herring remains close to USA Boxing, mengatakan: “USA Boxing helped me because of the relationships I created, many of which still remain today. I met other fighters from around the world that I kept good relationships with. It also helped me become more of the people-person I am today. Being team captain taught me patience, because I had to deal with a lot of personalities, I still use those traits today. And I’m still close to my Olympic teammates today.”

“Jamel is the perfect example of resiliency and persistence,” tersebut Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His hard work, pengorbanan, and inability to quit no matter what obstacles he encounters will continue to inspire the next generation of champions for many years. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank him for all that he has given to others, both in and out of the ring.”

Nothing has ever come easy for Jamel Herring, especially his remarkable turnaround after the tragic loss of his infant daughter, Ariyanah, which happened three years to the day prior to the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

“My road wasn’t easy,” Herring added, “I had my ups and downs. I’m an Olympian, but nothing was ever handed to me. I had to fight for everything I’ve gotten. Ini adalah waktu saya!”

It certainly is, particularly after he defeated defending WBO super featherweight champion Masayuki Ito, ini Mei lalu 25, untuk menjadi juara dunia. Proof that good things do indeed happen to good people.
