Born to box Ray “Boom Boom” Манчини

COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Април 27, 2020) — As the son of a prizefighter, Меѓународната боксерска Hall of Fame новобранец (“Class of 2015”) Реј “Boom Boom” Манчини was born to box, and the Youngstown, Ohio fighter climbed to the top of the sport’s mountain, capturing the World Boxing Association (ВБА) lightweight title in 1982.

Mancini’s father, на крајот Lenny “Boom Boom” Манчини, boxed professionally from 1937 на 1947, составувањето на 46-12-3 (16 КО) pro record. Lenny was the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the world in 1941 and considered a future world champion. Меѓутоа, 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, Реј, 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, Всушност, 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 на 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. Олимпиец 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 на 1979 Националните Златните Ракавици турнир. (После тоа) 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 (како про). 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. По патот, иако, I beat some pretty good amateurs: Darryl Chambers,Memo Arreola, Tim Christianson и 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.”

Манчини, who some called a little Rocky Marciano because of the way he fought, turned pro October 18, 1979 in Struthers, Охајо, запирање Phil Bowen во колото за отворање. Ray fought 15 times in his first year as a pro and extended his winning streak to 19, before he challenged World Boxing Council (Земјите од Западен Балкан) 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 рунди. After the match, then future Hall of Famer Arguello was quoted as saying: “I think my heart is special, but his (Манчини) is bigger than I have. Someday he will be champion.”

Only seven months and three fights later, Mancini captured the World Boxing Association (ВБА) 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 КО), 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, Хектор Камачо, Greg Haughen и Livingstone Bramble (два пати).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” рече Крис Куliари, 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 и Кели 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. Значи, 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)”), песна (“Boom Boom Mancini” by Warren Zevon) and book (“The Good Son: The Life of Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini by Mark Kriegel) about him.

Денес, 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 (во бокс) as close as I want to be and can still be a fan,” тој призна. “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. Значи, why would I want to have done anything differently?”

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

Остави коментар

COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Март 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, аматерски и професионални.

Born and raised in the infamous Brownsville section of Brooklyn, Њујорк, which also produced fellow World heavyweight championsМајк Тајсон иШенон Бригс, Bowe started boxing at 13 in the Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

“I wanted to do everythingМухамед Али 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, составувањето на 104-18 аматерски рекорд, highlighted by his controversial silver-medal winning performance at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Јужна Кореја.

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 Пан Американскиот Игри, 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, во U.S. Box-Offs to qualify for the 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. His Olympic teammates includedРој Џонс, Џуниор., Реј Мерсер, Kennedy McKinney иAndrew Maynard.

Controversary surrounded his Olympic championship fight against future World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Ленокс Луис, 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,", РечеКрис Куliари, 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 trainerЕди Futch во неговиот агол, Bowe became the first truly unified World heavyweight champion, winning the title belt for all four recognized major sanctioning bodies: Земјите од Западен Балкан, ВБА, IBF and WBO.

Bowe retired with an amazing 43-1 (33 КО) pro record. He had a 5-1 (4 КО) mark in world title fights, 7-1 (5 КО) versus past world heavyweight champions such asEvander Холифилд (два пати), Pinklon Thomas, Тони Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes иHerbie 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.”

Сега 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 Олимпискиот медал за злато „Немилосрдна“ Реј Меркер гледа на своето олимписко искуство

Остави коментар

COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Февруари 11, 2020) - Триесет и две години откако зароби олимписки златен медал, „Немилосрдниот“ Реј Мерсер убаво се сеќава на неговото олимписко искуство како што беше минатиот месец. Мерсер, кој е единствениот американски шампион во тешка категорија што ги нокаутира сите свои олимписки противници, продолжи да стана светски шампион во тешка категорија како професионалец за нашиот „двомеч во тешка категорија“.

За Мерсер, се започна во Германија, каде неговиот У.С.. Војската беше базирана. Понуди шанса да се избегне 30-дневна вежба на терен, Мерсер прифати понуда да послужи како спаринг партнер за шампионот во боксот во тешка категорија. И покрај тоа што порано не облече пар нараквици, Мерсер бил брз ученик кој природно бил силен, и тој брзо се разви во 1985 U.S. Шампион во тешка категорија на армијата и меѓуслужбите.

Програма за спортисти од светска класа (WCAP), во кои квалификувани спортисти имаат можност да тренираат со полно работно време за Олимпијадата, тогаш не постоев, ниту пак олимписките правила за квалификации од денес. Мерсер го победи идниот светски шампион во тешка категоријаТоми Морисон во почетната рунда на 1988 Олимписки судски процеси и уште една идна титула во светот за тешка категорија, Мајкл Бент (5-0) во финалето на шампионатот. Кај 1988 Олимписки боксери во САД во познатиот Цезар Пала

што во Лас Вегас, Мерсер донесе одлука за поделена одлука (3-2) за Бент, но Мерсер веќе се квалификуваше да се бори на Олимписките игри со тоа што беше У.С.. Шампион за вооружени сили.

„Кога бев во Армијата, Морав да победам во услугата, одржување работи, и одете на следниот чекор,„Се сети Мерсер. „Морав да победам некои добри борци на пат кон Олимпијадата, и јас бев во најдобра форма во мојот живот. Имаше повеќе дисциплина во аматерите отколку професионалните редови. Последната година пред Олимпијадата, Ја напуштив домашната единица, патуваше многу за да се бори, и остана во куќата на мојот тренер наместо да живее во касарната.

Мерсер направи историја на 1988 Олимпијада во Сеул, Јужна Кореја, кога стана и останува единствениот олимписки шампион во тешка категорија од Соединетите Држави кој ги нокаутираше сите четири свои противници:  Рудолф Гавенсијак (Чехословачка - RSC3), Луиџи Гаудијано(Италија - КО1), Арнонд Васндерлид (Холандија - RSC2) иДа Хјун-Ман (Јужна Кореја - КО1).

„Знаев дека морам да го нокаутирам Јужна Кореја во финалето,“Призна Мерсер. „Само сакав да направам што можам за да бидам олимписки медал за злато. Не мислам дека користев џеб.

„Освојувањето на олимпискиот златен медал резултираше во големи промени за мене. Станав славна личност, име на домаќинството, и ми дозволи да заработам пари како професионалец. Најдоброто нешто што некогаш ми се случи беше освојувањето на олимпискиот златен медал, дури и повеќе од освојување на светската титула како про. Ништо во споредба со тоа што стана олимписки медал за злато. Го остварив сонот. Никогаш не сум сонувал да одам на про, сè додека не го освоив златниот медал.

„Беше навистина важно да се освои тој златен медал. Се борев со моето срце; не беа вклучени пари, славеше толку напорно таа ноќ (по освојувањето на златниот медал) дека го изгубив медалот за неколку часа. Мојот сон се оствари, ми се тресеа рацете, и го изгубив медалот. Каква ноќ!"

Мерсер им нуди на членовите на 2020 Тим на квалификации за олимписки квалификации во САД, бокс, еден совет, "Продолжам да се борам, следете го вашиот сон и направете го последниот чекор “.

Мерсер, кој е роден во acksексонвил, Флорида, го направи своето многу очекувано про деби во 1989, запирањеEssеси Мекги во третата рунда од нивната борба во Атлантик Сити. „Безмилоста“ го освои својот прв 18 про тепачки, вклучувајќи деветта рунда нокаут одФранциско Дамиани, проследено со успешна одбрана против Морисон, кој беше запрен во петтиот круг.

За време на неговата 19-годишна про кариера, Мерсер состави а 36-7-1 (26 КО) рекорд, поразувајќи четири светски шампиони во Дамиани, Морисон, Тим Витерспун иОси Окасио.  Пет од неговите осум загуби во кариерата беа на светските шампиони: Ленокс Луис, Владимир Кличко,Лери Холмс, Evander Холифилд иШенон Бригс. 

„Реј претставува сè што го прави САД боксот горд,", РечеКрис Куliари, Директор на асоцијација на боксери на алумни во САД. „Како воен ветеран, Олимписки златен медал, и шампион во тешка категорија на светот, тој демонстрираше извонредност и професионалност што го рефлектира најдоброто од она што го нуди САД боксот “.

Извонредната аматерска боксерска кариера на Мерсер, исто така, вклучува класичен натпревар против кубанскиот одличен и трикратен олимписки медал за злато, Феликс Savon, во САД наспроти. Двоен натпревар во Куба, во која Мерсер двапати го запрепасти Савон, кој преживеал без да претрпи дополнителна штета само затоа што кубанскиот судија направи сомнителна интервенција што му даде време на својот сонародник да се опорави и контроверзен 2-1 победа.

„И тој ми даде безусловна точка со осум точки,“, Додаде Мерсер. „Го победив тој човек и тој го знае тоа. Сè уште сме во контакт иако тој не зборува англиски. Тој има пријател со превод и ние сме во контакт на Facebook. Ние се сакаме едни со други “.

Денес, Мерсер основа основа хуманитарна организација дома во Северна Каролина, кои ќе вклучуваат бесплатни клиники за бокс, но, уште поважно, вратете се на заедницата и поучувајте ги младите, особено оние што се малтретирани, вештини што ќе им требаат за да излезат во реалниот свет.

Реј Мерсер двапати стигна до зенитот во боксот како олимписки медалист за злато и светски шампион во тешка категорија како професионалец. Не е премногу излитен за некој што никогаш не сакаше да боксува.

„Боксот ми го спаси животот,“, Заврши Мерсер. „Не можам да го замислам животот без бокс, тоа сигурно не би било исто.

“Our family believes our father would accept this award graciously as a very high honor,” daughterMegan McCain said on behalf of the McCain family. “The courage, character and action needed to step into the ring is something he felt very strongly about.

“He learned many life lessons through boxing, including the value of fitness, дисциплина, individual performance training and operating as part of a team. Boxers run up against opposition they have no idea how to attack or defend against, yet they figure it out and learn about themselves, as well as develop endurance during the process.”

“Senator McCain was a true ally to the sport, having personally understood the courage and risk-taking required from those who enter the ring,", РечеChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. Throughout his career in politics, USA Boxing communicated with his office numerous times as part of a collaborative effort to safeguard the future of Olympic style, аматерски боксерски, and Senator McCain never hesitated to offer to do more for our athletes.

класа на 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Луизијана

COLORADO SPRINGS, Лап. (Декември 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, Означи Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, Декември 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Луизијана.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 Националниот првенство, Декември. 7-15, at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Декември. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино. Hall of Fame broadcasterАл Бернштајн 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 Foremanи “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesАл Мичел иRay 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 (Холифилд) (Мухамед) Дали, Foreman, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, Иронично, 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 рекорд, Вклучувајќи 19 капачките, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, Германија, 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.

На 1984 Олимписки игри, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick Тејлор, PERNELL Витакер, Jerry Page,Frank Tate, Henry Tillman иTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 КО) рекорд, 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 КО) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

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

The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Декември. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Казино.

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, “Јас бев зависник. 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 и Томи Морисон.

“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. Повеќе, 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, ментор, намалување на човек, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” коментира Крис Куliари, 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 83то роденден. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, Арканзас, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, Мисисипи, 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 години, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, иако, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 Олимписки златен медал Andrew Maynard, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Олимписки златен медал Frank Tate и неговиот брат Томас, 1972 Олимпиец Tim Dement, 2002 Националниот златни ракавици шампион Jaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic Qualifier Jackie Beard, 1981 Junior Olympics Glen Modicue, four-time National champion Ерик Кели, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion Џон Scully, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton иStephens brothers – Donald, Ентони и Џери.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier рече, “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 beatМухамед Али 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, составувањето на 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. Во колото за отворање, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Уганда), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Австралија) in the quarterfinals.

“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 КО) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofМухамед Али, Џими Елис (два пати), Боб Фостер, Oscar Bonavena(два пати), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, Даг Џонс, Eddie Machen иЏорџ Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 Ѕ, 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,” addedКрис Куliари, 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 13та."

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

The 33-year-old Herring (20-2, 10 КО), 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 аматерски рекорд, including top honors at the 2011 & 2012 Armed Forces Championships, 2011 U.S. 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 Олимписки игри.

“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 Олимписки игри, 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 Ерол Спенс, Џуниор., Claressa Шилдс и Маркус Браун, Поранешниот светски шампион Rau’Shee Warren, and world title challengers Terrell Gausha, Мајкл Хантер и Доминик Breazeale.


Herring remains close to USA Boxing, велејќи: “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,” mentioned Крис Куliари, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His hard work, жртва, 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. Ова е моето време!”

It certainly is, particularly after he defeated defending WBO super featherweight champion Masayuki Ito, Веќе во мај 25, да стане светски шампион. Proof that good things do indeed happen to good people.
