“I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.”
“Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.”
COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Juni 8, 2018) Overcoming adversity is something many people deal with throughout their lives, and it makes that person who they are. For Keyshawn Davis, he has been overcoming adversity from the beginning, and he is now on his way to the top of the boxing world.
Davis began boxing when he was just nine-years-old, after his mother took him and two of his brothers to the gym. They were constantly fighting each other and fighting in school. After about an hour of watching two kids around his age spar his mother asked if they wanted to sign up. The next day Keyshawn and his two brothers were in the gym training.
Sejak saat itu, Davis has won numerous titles and is now on his first elite high-performance squad following his win at the 2017 USA Boxing Kejuaraan Nasional. Following that win, he has made Colorado Springs, Putaran. a second home, as he spends a great deal of his time training at the United States Olympic Training Center.
Training for his first year at the elite level began with one of the largest multi-nation training camps USA Boxing has ever hosted. Davis got the opportunity to spar with not only his American teammates, but boxers from Great Britain, New Zealand and Poland. The preparation led to one of his proudest moments of his young career, his first elite international tournament and title at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“It was a very different experience, being that it was my first time out of the country,” stated Davis. “I really had to get used to the different environment, especially the time difference, as it threw off my sleep schedule at first.”
Namun Begitu, he did not let anything distract him from reaching the top of the podium.
“The feeling was just so unreal,” said Davis about his gold medal performance in Bulgaria. “I told myself that this is just one gold and I need to be standing here after every tournament. It was just a great feeling.”
Shortly after his winning performance in Bulgaria, Davis was back in the ring representing Team USA on the USA vs. IRL Northeast Boxing Tour. Only fighting in one of the three stops of the tour, Davis made every minute of it count, as he pulled off another impressive victory in front of a large number of American fans.
Namun Begitu, before the success came struggles.
“I am a kid from Norfolk, Akan. that started with nothing; Just my mother and her five children,” stated Davis.
“As life went on, I kept getting better in the ring, but outside the ring was horrible, from anger problems to getting sent to a mental institution,” continued Davis. “I would’ve never thought I would be in the position I am today, so I thank God that he blessed me with all my supporters; from my sisters, Shanice and Shantel Davis, also my brothers, Keon and Kelvin Davis, and of course my mother, Wanda Davis. Without them I wouldn’t be here today. I am a walking miracle and I just want to show the world what Keyshawn Davis really can do.”
Helping Keyshawn get past his struggles has been his coach who has been there from the beginning, Kay Korma, sebaik 2016 Olympic silver medalist Shakur Stevenson.
“Last year when I was put in the mental home, they were both right there pushing me to get back on track,” Davis stated. “They never gave up on me or doubted me. They always knew what I was capable of, even though I was in a bad place.”
Another source of motivation and help came from another teammate, Troy Isley, who has been there by his side getting to experience Keyshawn’s first year as an elite with him.
“Troy has been a huge help for me during my first year on the elite high-performance squad,” mentioned Davis. “He has been telling me what foods I might need on a trip to help me maintain weight.”
When Davis went to Bulgaria for his first international tournament, Troy was there representing Team USA with him. “He told me how he felt his first time fighting internationally, and I just took all his information and used it to my advantage.”
Now the goal is to continue training and being successful at the international level. He has hopes of becoming an Olympic Champion in 2020 and being able to give back to his family.
“My biggest motivation is just to give my family a better life.”
With one gold under his belt, Davis will look for his second international title at the 2018 Chemistry Cup later this month. You can continue to follow his journey to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics through social media via Instagram (@keyshawndavis1) or SnapChat (@key4999).

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Mei 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Anthony “The Magic Man” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 NC, 22 Biaya) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair ofThe Ringmagazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.
“I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Tarver menjelaskan. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, latihan, sleep….segala sesuatu! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.”
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 catatan. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, DIRI KITA. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world championVassiliy Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 Kejuaraan Amatir Dunia. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
“I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver mengatakan. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, meskipun, with a gold-medal professional career.
“I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 DIRI KITA. Tim Olimpiade. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
“I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, Jr – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 di Philadelphia, henti Joaquin Garcia (4-0) di babak kedua.
“I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract withRussell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.”
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17th pertarungan pro, pada saat Eric Hardingdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Dua tahun kemudian, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter di dunia. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.
Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Montell Griffinfor the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated byRoy Jones Jr., Bulan April 26, 2003 di Foxwoods Resort Casino di Mashantucket, Connecticut. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 dari ketiga hakim.
Tujuh bulan kemudian, akan tetapi, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, meskipun, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofThe Ringmagazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPNHari Jumat Perkelahian malam siaran televisi.
“I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.”
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF championGlen Johnson (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, ironisnya, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought forThe Ringand IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematchsix months later di Memphis, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City toBernard Hopkinsfor the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision overElvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local heroDanny Hijau, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
Pada bulan Desember 2013 in Temecula, California, Tarver knocked outJonathon Banks (29-2-1) in the seventh round, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world championSteve Cunningham (28-7) di Newark, New Jersey.
Di 2006, Tarver starred as Mason “The Line” Dixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Hari Ini, pada usia 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Antonio Tarver, Jr. (5-0 (4 Biaya), where they live in Tampa, Florida.
“I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver mengatakan. “What a team! Guys likeDiego Corrales dan Zab Judahdidn’t make that Olympic Team. Kuberikan Floyd Mayweather, Jr. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, Zarim Raheemand the others.”
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Florida. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 menengah Antonio Tarver, Jr. di sana. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited withJimmy Williams, siapa yang 90 saat ini, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS,” which was created to champion a lifelong, hubungan yang saling menguntungkan antara USA Boxing dan alumninya, –petinju, pejabat, pelatih dan penggemar tinju — Asosiasi Alumni menghubungkan generasi juara, menginspirasi dan memberikan kembali kepada juara tinju masa depan USA Boxing, masuk dan keluar dari ring.
“I’m going online to join,” Tarver mengatakan. “I’m looking forward to attending an Alumni Association meeting, Bulan Juni 24-30during the Junior Olympics in Charleston, Virginia Barat.
Everything that goes around, datang sekitar, in USA Boxing. Just ask future Hall of Fame candidate Antonio Tarver.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Bulan April 20, 2018) —
Virgil “Quicksilver” Bukithas gone back to the future, parlaying what he learned as an amateur boxer into a Olympic silver medal, five world titles in two weight class, induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF), and now giving back as a Los Angeles-based boxing coach and invaluable member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association.
“Winning the WBA (Asosiasi Tinju Dunia) dan IBF (Federasi Tinju Internasional) world titles were all big.” Hill spoke about his greatest boxing achievement, “But the Olympics come around every four years with only one guy from each country, if that, in each weight class. It’s very difficult. I had competed against some of the best athletes in the world, right here in the United States, preparing to represent our country in the Olympics against the best in the world. We sparred each other at camp. US fighters all have a target on their backs.
“I fought in 10 different countries that year (1984), but the best Olympics ever was held here in Los Angeles. Half of our team went on to become world champions as pro fighters and three are in the Hall of Fame (Bukit, Evander Holyfield dan Pernell Whitaker). I wasn’t picked to win a medal in my class. I should have won a gold medal but lost in the final (Divisi menengah) to a Korean fighter (Shin Joon-Sup, 2-3). Losing was tough but the opportunity to be on the US Olympic Boxing Team was the highlight of my boxing career, even more so than winning my world titles.”
Hill grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. He watched the Golden Gloves on television and asked his father if he could learn to box. His response was, maybe if we move to a city. “Ingat,” Hill noted, “a city for me back then was only 50,000 orang orang. We did move to Grand Forks and my father asked me if I still wanted to box. He brought me to a local gym when I was eight and I started training right away.”
After capturing a gold medal at the 1984 Golden Gloves nasional Turnamen, Hill went to the USA Boxing training facility, where he learned a lot being around so many different people and boxing styles. Although he’s part Puerto-Rican, Hill is a Native-American who grew up in a predominantly German and Norwegian state (Dakota Utara).
“There were not many blacks or Latinos,” Hill admitted. “We grew up poor, but not ghetto poor. aku belajar banyak. My roommate (at USA Boxing’s training facility) was a 106-pound Puerto-Rican from New Jersey, Jose Lazario. Jose took me for a haircut one day and, when I went back to North Dakota, I had a bounce in my step and people there were all looking at my haircut. Evander Holyfieldtaught me how to iron. He wouldn’t go with me to the mall unless I ironed my jeans. I sat and listened to know what to expect.”
Hill completed his amateur career with an incredible 288-11 catatan, married a woman who was on the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team, Denean Howard (two-time gold and two-time silver medalist), and turned professional November 15, 1984, henti Arthur Wrightin the second round at famed Madison Square Garden.
He had moved to Las Vegas to train with legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, dan asistennya, Freddie Roach. “I was on my own for the first time,” Hill explained. “They were good role models who prepared me to be a pro boxer, as well as for life.
Hill fought professionally until 2015, kemenangan 51 dari 58 perkelahian pro, 24 dengan KO, with only seven losses. Ia memenangkan pertama 30 perkelahian pro, including a fourth-round win by technical knockout ofLeslie Stewart dalam bukunya 19thpro fight to capture the WBA world light heavyweight title. Hill made 10 successful WBA title defenses, including eight in Bismarck, Dakota Utara, before losing for the first time as a pro in 1991 to future Hal of FamerTommy Hearns.
Hill later recaptured the WBA world light heavyweight crown and he eventually added the IBF world light heavyweight title, in addition to becoming three-time WBA cruiserweight world champion. He retired in 2007 and then make a one-fight comeback February 28, 2015, henti Jimmy Campbellin the second round in Bismarck, marking Hill’s final fight.
During his remarkable pro career, Hill had a 24-5 (7 Biaya) world title fight record, including victories over Stewart, Marvin Camel, Adolpho Washington, Lou Del Valle, Donny Lalond, Bobby Czyz, Fabrice Tiozzo (dua kali), Henry Maskeand Hill’s 1984 US Olympic teammate, Frank Tate (dua kali).
Hill remains in boxing as a trainer and occasionally a co-promotes pro-am shows in North Dakota. In Los Angeles, Hill currently trains one pro and nine amateurs. “I love being a trainer,” Hill exclaimed. “There are some special kids, the real athletic ones, but it’s the others that often make it for me. Those who aren’t as athletic and really need to work hard. Once you get a few of the kids working hard, the rest follow in line. This isn’t a democracy; it’s a dictatorship and I push ’em hard. Our LBC has 180 fights a year. I do all the matching and, if they’re in too tough, I top the fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s striving to be better, disiplin, accomplishments and competition.
“The Elite boxers are moving on to the next level, establishing themselves to make a name and enter the pros. Ninety-five percent of the others aren’t. Boxing is still a poor man’s sport and sometimes the only option for some of these kids have is boxing. And boxing is still a very dangerous, unforgiving sport. The sky’s the limited, good and bad, for these kids. Boxing occupies their time. Some kids need more encouragement, others need to believe more in themselves. This is where they come from and who they become.”
Not only is Hill giving back as a coach, he’s key member of and spokesperson for the USA Boxing Alumni Association.
“I’m happy to be involved,” Hill talked about his back to the future journey in boxing. “It’s about time we had an alumni organization. Only the top three-percent of boxers make it big. It’s great watching everybody mix and mingle at alumni gatherings. This is about respect for each other; it’s a kinship.”

PHOTO SLIDESHOW (contact rich.bergeron@gmail.com for photo copies):
Boxing fans packed the Manchester Downtown Hotel Wednesday night to take in a spectacular night of elite amateur boxing. This was the final stop on a three-city tour of Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The scheduled fights featured Team USA amateurs facing the best amateur boxers from Ireland. By the final bell, Ireland managed to finish the eight bouts of the evening with a tie score, their best outcome of the tour. Team USA won the first two duals of the tour in Boston and Springfield, masing-masing, oleh sejumlah 8-4 dan 7-3.
Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, akan tetapi. Bagi sebagian besar petinju yang terlibat, ini adalah kesempatan besar untuk menyempurnakan teknik mereka dan mendapatkan pengalaman kompetisi internasional yang sangat dibutuhkan.. Beberapa penampil terbaik Rabu malam juga kemungkinan akan mewakili negaranya masing-masing di masa mendatang 2020 Olimpiade.
Acara utama malam itu ditampilkan 2016 Peraih Medali Perunggu Kejuaraan Dunia Pemuda Richard Torrez mendominasi 3 kali Juara Nasional Irlandia Dean Gardiner. Ketinggian dan jangkauan panjang petarung Irlandia yang menjulang tinggi tidak bisa mengatasi kecepatan cepat dan postur pertahanan yang sangat baik dari petinju Amerika yang lebih pendek.
Torrez menghabiskan putaran pertama mengeksekusi tipuan dan pukulan yang sangat bagus sambil mencetak gol dengan beberapa pukulan yang membom. Torrez mengubah level, menggunakan gerakan kepala yang licin, dan tidak pernah melepaskan kakinya dari gas karena Gardiner berjalan dengan susah payah ke depan dengan pendekatan yang tidak seimbang dan liar di awal perjalanan. Sebuah tembakan tubuh berdebar-debar terhubung untuk orang Irlandia itu pada awalnya, tapi tidak banyak yang lainnya.
Torrez mempertahankan kecepatan kerja cepat di frame berikutnya, melepaskan kait kiri dan kanan dan mendarat dengan rapi di sebagian besar putaran. Dia mencetak gol ke tubuh dan kepala dengan mudah, meskipun sebagian besar ronde melihat lawannya menutupi dan menunggu bukaan. Satu tembakan lurus ke kiri dari Torrez membuat lawannya terhuyung-huyung sejenak, tetapi pria yang lebih tinggi pulih dan mendaratkan hook kiri yang fenomenal ke kepala Torrez saat dia bertarung di luar tali.. Gardiner mencoba mendaratkan pukulan lurus di luar dan tampaknya tidak mampu membalikkan pukulannya dalam jarak dekat.
Ronde ketiga memperlihatkan kedua petarung melesat keluar sampai bel terakhir dengan salah satu pertukaran bolak-balik paling liar di malam itu., tapi itu terlalu sedikit dan terlambat untuk Gardiner. Dia tidak bisa memutar nomornya. Torrez baru saja mengalahkan lawannya dan melakukan beberapa pukulan uppercut yang bagus untuk dilakukan dengan hook kanan dan kirinya yang menggelegar.. Dia menggunakan jab dengan hemat tetapi efektif, menghabiskan sebagian besar bingkai terakhir yang menargetkan tubuh Gardiner. Torrez meraih kemenangan Keputusan dengan Suara Penuh dengan penampilannya dan tidak melakukan lebih dari beberapa pukulan keras dalam prosesnya.
Kelly Harrington, peraih medali perak Kejuaraan Dunia dari Irlandia, kemungkinan memiliki performa paling ahli dalam timnya dalam meraih kemenangan mutlak atas Stacia Suttles dalam pertarungan pembukaan malam itu.. Suttles berjuang untuk menjaga dirinya pada jarak pukulan yang ideal melawan serangan tak henti-hentinya dari Harrington di ronde pertama, menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu tiga menit terombang-ambing dan menganyam untuk mencoba menghindari kombinasi tajam dari lawannya. Suttles berhasil mendaratkan pukulannya secara konsisten, dan dia mulai menyatukan beberapa kombo di akhir ronde, tapi Harrington adalah pakar mutlak dalam hal gerakan kepala. Dia tampak seperti Floyd Mayweather, Jr. adalah salah satu pelatihnya saat dia menggunakan teknik tangan rendah dengan tipuan konstan, pukulan tergelincir dan level berubah. Ronde pertama melihat dia mendaratkan pukulan lurus yang indah ke kiri ke kepala dan kombinasi pukulan tubuh dan kepala yang fantastis yang mendarat dengan kokoh. Dia melepaskan beberapa kait yang kuat, meskipun beberapa adalah pembuat jerami liar. Di bawah ini adalah gambar Harrington selama salah satu dari hanya beberapa momen singkat dalam pertarungan di mana dia mengangkat kedua tangannya untuk melindungi wajahnya.
Suttles menangkap Harrington dengan beberapa tembakan melirik dan datar di ronde kedua, tapi dia sepertinya kesulitan mendapatkan kekuatan di balik pukulannya. Dia memang bertukar tangan kanan yang layak dengan lawannya, tapi jelas pada akhir ronde bahwa dia tidak akan bisa menemukan ritme apapun dalam pertarungan karena kecerdikan lawannya.. Harrington menghabiskan waktu yang sama untuk menyempurnakan jangkauannya dengan renyah 1-2 combo dan koneksi hak timah liar. Harrington juga mencetak beberapa hook kiri yang kuat dengan gambar pendaratan kanan lurus yang sempurna hanya beberapa saat kemudian.
Babak ketiga kurang lebih sama untuk kedua petarung. Suttles bekerja di sebagian besar bingkai untuk melacak lawannya, tapi setiap kali dia turun, dia membayarnya. Satu hook kiri yang kokoh mendarat di akhir ronde, tapi itu belum cukup. Harrington menghabiskan sebagian besar dari tiga menit terakhir mencoba menghubungkan dengan tangan kanan sayap. Dia mendaratkan salah satu pukulan terberatnya dalam pertarungan di akhir ronde dan untuk sesaat membuat lawannya tertegun sebelum bel untuk mengakhiri pertarungan.. Harrington mengambil keputusan dengan suara bulat dan terlihat menjadi salah satu petinju paling menjanjikan dengan bobotnya dalam menjalankan untuk 2020 Olimpiade.
Namun contoh lain dari tinggi badan entah bagaimana menjadi kerugian memainkan peran dalam pertarungan wanita lainnya di kartu. Leah Cooper dari Tim AS (#2 Kelas Menengah Wanita AS) menggunakan merunduk dan gerak tipu untuk menghindari jangkauan panjang Aoife Burke yang lebih tinggi. Cooper bertarung dari posisi setengah berjongkok, sehingga sulit bagi Burke untuk mendarat dengan kekuatan yang signifikan pada sebagian besar pukulannya. Juara Irlandia Nasional 8 kali
memiliki beberapa tempat dalam pertarungan di mana dia mendapatkan kembali kendali atas aksinya, tetapi Cooper melakukan penyesuaian yang tepat untuk meminimalkan ancaman.
Cooper melakukan serangan mengerumuni untuk memulai ronde pertama, menembak 1-2 combo dan mendukung Burke. Dia tetap sabar dan gigih di sepanjang bingkai, tetap rendah dan di luar jangkauan tembakan kuat Burke. Burke menunjukkan pertahanan yang sangat baik, tapi dia hanya bisa melempar dan mendaratkan satu pukulan pada satu waktu. Dia memamerkan pukulan tajam di sepanjang ronde, tapi itu tidak menghalangi Cooper. Burke mengalami saat-saat terbaiknya dalam putaran menjelang bel terakhir, mencampur tembakan ke tubuh dan kepala, termasuk pengait kanan yang keras di kepala.
Burke keluar untuk ronde kedua dengan bersemangat, menyerbu Cooper dengan tembakan cepat 1-2 combo dan kait. Dia juga melakukan pukulan bagus yang menemukan dagu Cooper. Cooper berhasil melewati badai, hanya jatuh ke dalam perangkap sebentar. Dia mendapatkan kembali ketenangannya, mendaratkan beberapa pukulan balasan yang sangat baik, dan mengubah apa yang mungkin merupakan babak terbaik Burke menjadi yang terburuk bagi juara Irlandia. Cooper tetap tenang dan dingin, meski mengambil beberapa tembakan terberat lawannya mendarat dalam pertarungan. Dia mendapatkan beberapa yang luar biasa 1-2 combo setelah serangan Burke gagal, akhirnya membuka luka di dekat mata kiri Burke dan hidungnya berdarah. Meninju tubuh Cooper yang keras juga membuat Burke berjongkok ke kanvas sebentar setelah melakukan pukulan hook kanan yang kokoh.
Burke memulai ronde ketiga agak terlambat setelah diperiksa dan diizinkan oleh dokter di sisi ring. Dia kembali memulai dengan rentetan pukulan bom. Dia menargetkan tubuh dan kepala, tetapi Cooper menenangkan diri sekali lagi dan kembali bekerja. Dia mengubah level dengan baik dan mulai terhubung dengan kait yang marah, pertama ke tubuh lalu kembali ke kepala. Dia juga terus melakukan jab aktif dan mendaratkan beberapa pukulan 1-2 combo. Burke berhasil membuat kesibukan lain di menit-menit akhir pertarungan, tapi Cooper tetap menang dengan keputusan bulat.
Tim USA Lightweight James Browning bertanding pada Rabu malam melawan Francis Cleary dari Irlandia sebagai Juara Tinju USA dua kali.. Jelas, Juara Nasional Irlandia sembilan kali, mewakili celah pertama Browning di kompetisi internasional. Kedua petarung memiliki momennya masing-masing, tapi Browning akan menang di akhir tiga pertandingan yang menghibur, putaran aksi bolak-balik.
Browning menghabiskan ronde pertama untuk membangun tingkat kerja yang lebih tinggi daripada lawannya dan menggunakan banyak gerakan untuk menghindari serangan Cleary. Dia juga melakukan pukulan jab yang konsisten, mencampur tembakan tubuh dan kepalanya dengan baik. Padahal dia memenangkan ronde tersebut, Browning mengambil banyak risiko dan membayar harganya. Cleary mengambil tempatnya dan melepaskan pukulan yang lebih bersih dan kuat saat dia bisa mendarat. Dia tidak bisa cukup terhubung, dan dia keluar dari masalah hampir setiap kali dia akhirnya bertarung dalam jarak dekat.
Jelas mendaratkan beberapa bom tajam lagi di frame kedua, menjadi lebih agresif dan mulai melacak lawannya yang terus bergerak. Sebuah pukulan hook kiri yang berdebar di dekat ujung ronde terhubung dengan kepala Browning dan membuat penonton terkesan. Masih, Browning tetap sibuk dan melakukannya dengan baik dalam pertukaran peluru antara kedua petarung itu. Dia sering kali liar, tetapi hasil kerja mencegah Cleary mencuri putaran.
Cleary keluar untuk ronde ketiga dengan keganasan baru, terlibat dalam perkelahian liar dengan Browning. Itu adalah pertarungan terbaik untuk Cleary, dan Browning tidak bisa mempertahankan sifat elusif yang dia tampilkan di ronde sebelumnya. Petarung Irlandia mendaratkan hook kiri yang booming di ronde tersebut, menampilkan penghitung waktu yang sempurna, dan terus menekan hingga bel. Browning jelas terlihat frustrasi dan lelah di akhir pertarungan. Masih, dua dari tiga juri yakin dia pantas menang, mendapatkan kemenangan keputusan terpisah.
Laga berikutnya mempertemukan Juara Nasional Irlandia delapan kali Wayne Kelley melawan Juara Nasional AS 13 kali Adrian Benton dalam pertarungan ketat di kelas welter.. Kedua petarung muda itu memiliki titik terang di pertandingan tersebut, tapi Kelley berhasil mencicit kemenangan split decision dengan licik, usaha yang berani.
Benton memiliki putaran pertama yang lebih baik berkat serangan yang mengerumuni. Dia bekerja di dalam dan di luar jangkauan dengan 1-2 combo dan kait hemat. Dia menggunakan semua sudutnya dengan baik, berputar keluar dari masalah dan menuju jangkauan efektif dengan mudah. Kelley berjuang untuk mendapatkan serangan balik sampai saat-saat terakhir ronde ketika dia mendaratkan kesibukannya sendiri 1-2 combo.
Kelley memulai ronde kedua dengan lebih banyak energi dan ketenangan. Dia mendarat lebih awal dan sering, mengayunkan tangan kiri dan membuka luka di bibir Benton. Benton melakukan beberapa pukulan yang lebih berbahaya, memblokir tembakan dengan baik dan mendaratkan beberapa garing, tembakan kerasnya sendiri. Pertukaran terbaiknya adalah hook kiri dan kanan ke kepala yang mendarat di dekat tengah ronde.
Kelley melambat sedikit di babak final, tidak dapat menemukan kisaran idealnya. Dia mendaratkan beberapa tangan kanan yang keras, tembakan tubuh yang ditempatkan dengan baik dan diturunkan dengan kesibukan terlambat. Benton tetap sibuk di awal ronde dan dengan licik merunduk di bawah tendangan hook kanan dari Kelley. Juri tampak lebih terkesan dengan ketenangan Kelley di dua ronde terakhir saat Benton terus terlibat perkelahian yang ceroboh.. Kelley menyisihkan kemenangan dengan a 2-1 batas.
Kelas welter ringan datang berikutnya, memproduksi kontes ketat lainnya. Caoimhin Ferguson dari Irlandia melawan Charlie Sheehy dari Tim AS dengan pendekatan taktis yang sedikit lebih baik, mendapatkan kemenangan keputusan terpisah lainnya untuk pasukannya.
Sheehy mengambil pendekatan yang lebih hati-hati dan sabar di ronde pertama, menunggu saat yang tepat untuk melempar dan mendarat. Pukulan terbaiknya di ronde tersebut termasuk tangan kanan yang keras ke tubuh dan pukulan jab. Ferguson melakukan lebih banyak pekerjaan dalam bingkai, mencetak gol di banyak kait ke kepala dan melepaskan kebingungan liar dan gila beberapa kali. Satu pukulan hook kiri membentur kepala Sheehy dengan keras di saat-saat terakhir ronde.
Ferguson melakukan beberapa tembakan yang layak di babak kedua, tapi Sheehy jauh lebih tenang. Dia bekerja di sekitar ayunan liar, serangan keras dengan menjaga jarak dan mencetak gol dari luar dengan beberapa hak tajam di dagu. Para petarung bertukar beberapa kait ke tubuh dan berakhir di clinch sebelum akhir ronde.
Sheehy berjuang untuk merangkai pukulan di babak final. Meskipun dia memiliki tangan kanan lurus yang bagus yang bekerja untuknya, Ferguson mampu menembus pertahanannya. Ferguson mendaratkan pukulan hook kiri lebih awal dan melanjutkan untuk mendaratkan beberapa bom lagi sebelum kehilangan juru bicara dalam satu pertukaran.. Mungkin dia tahu dia harus menyelesaikan dengan kuat untuk mendapatkan juri di sisinya, Ferguson bergegas masuk dengan semburan hook terakhir di detik-detik terakhir. Dia mendapatkan a 2-1 keputusan menang karena keuletannya.
Kelas welter Kieron Molloy (Irlandia) dan Freudis Rojas, Jr. (USA) kuadrat dalam pertandingan lain. Kedua petarung sebelumnya adalah Peraih Medali Perunggu Kejuaraan Dunia dengan Molloy juga mengklaim sembilan gelar Nasional Irlandia dan Rojas memenangkan gelar nasional AS. 10 kali sejauh ini. Itu adalah kemenangan tipis lainnya bagi Tim Irlandia.
Rojas jelas menjadi petarung yang lebih aktif di ronde pertama. Dia menggunakan jab yang konsisten dan meningkatkan kecepatan kerjanya melalui frame. Dia ket sibuk melakukan pelanggaran sampai bel. Molloy memulai tembakan sayap bulat dan mencoba mencari tahu jangkauannya. Dia melepaskan sedikit terlambat di beberapa pertukaran yang lebih sengit, tidak tahu cara menjalankan kombinasinya, dan kesulitan mengejar ketinggalan dengan Rojas yang lebih cepat. Molloy berhasil mendaratkan beberapa pukulan lurus ke kiri, meskipun.
Babak berikutnya berjalan jauh lebih baik untuk kidal Irlandia. Dia mulai dengan peningkatan dalam output pukulannya, meskipun dia masih berjuang untuk mendapatkan combo. Pada satu titik di ronde tersebut, Molloy melakukan pukulan lurus ke kiri, diikuti oleh jab kekuatan yang bagus, memperlambat lawannya. Rojas terus maju tetapi tidak bisa memanfaatkan peluang mencetak gol di babak tersebut. Rentetan pukulan akhir dari Rojas tidak cukup baginya untuk mencuri perhatian.
Rojas melakukan beberapa tembakan luar biasa di babak final, turun ke tubuh sesering mungkin. Dia juga menangkap Molloy di tali, meledakkannya dengan pukulan lurus. Molloy melawan putaran yang lebih cerdas, meskipun, memilih waktu terbaik untuk melempar dan sering menangkap Rojas dengan tangan ke bawah. Pertukaran terbaiknya di putaran itu menampilkan yang besar 1-2 menghubungkan ke kepala dan kait kiri liar ke kepala. Serangkaian pukulan terakhir dari petarung Irlandia menutup pertunjukan dan membuatnya mendapatkan a 2-1 keputusan split menang.
Nikita Ababiy dari Tim AS mencetak kemenangan dengan susah payah sebelum acara utama dengan Gerard Prancis dari Tim Irlandia. Babak pertama menampilkan Ababiy menusuk dengan baik. Petinju Amerika itu bertempur dengan gaya tinju yang sangat non-tradisional dengan satu tangan rendah, tapi posturnya tampaknya efektif dalam memikat lawannya ke dalam jangkauan pukulan. Ababiy mendaratkan beberapa pukulan keras dan pukulan atas kiri yang bagus yang mendukung bahasa Prancis. Sementara Itu, French berkonsentrasi mencoba mendaratkan counter. Dia memiliki tingkat kerja yang lebih rendah tetapi juga tidak menerima terlalu banyak hukuman.
Prancis menghabiskan putaran kedua mencoba untuk bertukar dalam jarak dekat. Dia mendaratkan lebih banyak tembakan kemudian di ronde tersebut, termasuk beberapa hook kanan yang panas di saat-saat terakhir. Ababiy terhubung dengan beberapa tembakan keras di ronde tersebut dan menunjukkan beberapa pertahanan yang bagus juga. Dia mencampurkan tembakannya ke tubuh dan kepala, melempar dan menutupi untuk menunggu pembukaan berikutnya. Ababiy mendaratkan hook kiri yang bagus ke kepala diikuti dengan pukulan pukulan kanan yang sempurna di menit terakhir. Dia mengakhiri ronde dengan baik dalam perjalanan menuju kemenangan pertamanya.
Babak terakhir melihat Ababiy melambat sedikit, tapi dia masih cukup efektif untuk membawa kerangka itu. French berhasil mengaitkan beberapa kait kiri ke kepala, tapi dia tidak bisa memahami gaya berbeda yang dibawa lawannya ke atas ring. Orang Amerika melaju ke kemenangan keputusan dengan suara bulat.
Malam itu juga dimulai dengan satu-satunya penghentian pada kartu berkat perkelahian liar antara pemain lokal Manchester seberat 132 pon, Novis NH Michael Correa dan Abhisek Thapa. Correa lepas landas melintasi ring setelah mendengar bel pembukaan dan melepaskan kesibukan liar satu demi satu. Thapa tidak membiarkan tornado menelannya, meskipun. Dia harus menutup-nutupi dan menunggu kesempatannya. Hanya butuh beberapa menit bagi Correa untuk mulai kelelahan dari serangan tanpa henti. Thapa kemudian mengarungi beberapa bidikan yang paling mengesankan di malam itu, memaksa wasit untuk menghentikan pertarungan selama tiga berdiri delapan hitungan sebelum akhirnya datang dengan pusaran pukulan kekuatan dari Thapa.
Ada juga penampilan tamu yang dibuat oleh petinju Floyd Mayweather, Jr. masih menyebut lawan terberatnya, Emanuel Augustus (3-34-6, 20 Biaya). Augustus berpartisipasi dalam reuni malam sebelumnya dengan “Irlandia” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Biaya), merayakan salah satu pertarungan terbaik dalam sejarah olahraga, yang berlangsung pada bulan Juli 13, 2001. Augustus bertahan untuk pertarungan dan bahkan datang ke atas ring untuk menunjukkan bahwa dia masih memiliki kecakapan meninju yang sama yang membuatnya menjadi salah satu petarung paling menghibur di masanya..

He went on to win a great fight.”

We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy withArturo Gattiwill never forget.”.
