1988 Olympic gold medalist “Merciless” Ray Mercer Looks back at his Olympic experience

Deixe um comentário

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Fevereiro 11, 2020) – Thirty-two years after he captured an Olympic gold medal, “Merciless” Ray Mercer fondly remembers his Olympic experience like it was last month. Mercer, who is the only American heavyweight champion to knock out all of his Olympic opponents, went on to become world heavyweight champion as a professional for our “heavyweight double.”

For Mercer, it all started in Germany, where his U.S. Army unit was based. Offered a chance to avoid a 30-day field exercise, Mercer accepted an offer to serve as a sparring partner for the post’s heavyweight boxing champion. Despite never having put on a pair of gloves before, Mercer was a quick learner who was naturally strong, and he rapidly developed into the 1985 U.S. Army and Inter-service heavyweight champion.

The World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), in which qualified athletes have an opportunity to train fulltime for the Olympics, didn’t exist back then, nor the Olympic qualifier rules of today. Mercer defeated future world heavyweight championTommy Morrison in the opening round of the 1988 Olympic Trials and another future world heavyweight titlist, Michael Bentt (5-0) in the championship final. At the 1988 USA Olympic Box-offs at famed Caesars Pala

ce in Las Vegas, Mercer won a split decision (3-2) over Bentt, but Mercer had already qualified to fight in the Olympic Games by being the U.S. Armed Forces champion.

“When I was in the Army, I had to win in the service, maintain things, and go to the next step,” Mercer remembered. “I had to beat some good fighters on my way to the Olympics, and I was in the best shape of my life. There was more discipline in the amateurs than the professional ranks. The final year before the Olympics, I left my home unit, traveled a lot to fight, and stayed in my trainer’s house instead of living in the barracks.

Mercer made history at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Coreia Do Sul, when he became and remains the only Olympic heavyweight champion from the United States to knockout all four of his opponents:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Czechoslovakia – RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italy – KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Netherlands – RSC2) eBaik Hyun-Man (South Korean – KO1).

“I knew I had to knockout the South Korean in the final,” Mercer admitted. “I just wanted to do what I could to be the Olympic gold medalist. I don’t think I used a jab.

“Winning the Olympic gold medal resulted in some big-time changes for me. I became a celebrity, a household name, and it allowed me to make money as a professional. The best thing that ever happened to me was winning the Olympic gold medal, even more than winning the world title as a pro. Nothing compared to becoming an Olympic gold medalist. I accomplished my dream. I had never dreamed of going pro, until after I won the gold medal.

“It was really important to win that gold medal. I fought with my heart; no money was involved, celebrated so hard that night (after winning the gold medal) that I lost my medal for a few hours. My dream had come true, my hands were shaking, and I lost my medal. What a night!"

Mercer offers members of the 2020 USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team one bit of advice, “Keep fighting, follow your dream and take that last step.”

Mercer, who was born in Jacksonville, Florida, made his much-anticipated pro debut in 1989, paragemJesse McGhee in the third round of their fight in Atlantic City. “Merciless” won his first 18 lutas profissionais, including a ninth-round knockout ofFrancisco Damiani, followed by a successful defense against Morrison, who was stopped in the fifth round.

During his 19-year pro career, Mercer compiled a 36-7-1 (26 KOs) registro, defeating four world champions in Damiani, Morrison, Tim Witherspoon eOssie Ocasio.  Five of his eight career losses were to world champions: Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko,Larry Holmes, Evander Holyfield eShannon Briggs. 

“Ray represents everything that makes USA Boxing proud,", DisseChris tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “As an Army veteran, Medalhista de ouro olímpico, and heavyweight champion of the world, he has demonstrated excellence and professionalism that reflects the best of what USA Boxing has to offer.”

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

“And he gave me a standing eight-count for no reason,” Mercer added. “I beat that guy and he knows it. We’re still in touch even though he doesn’t speak English. He has a friend translate and we’re in touch on Facebook. We like each other.”

Hoje, Mercer is founding a charity at home in North Carolina, which will include free boxing clinics, mas, mais importante, give back to the community and teach youths, especially those who are bullied, the skills they’ll need to go out into the real world.

Ray Mercer has reached the zenith twice in boxing as an Olympic gold medalist and world heavyweight champion as a professional. Not too shabby for somebody who never really wanted to box.

“Boxing saved my life,” Mercer concluded. “I can’t imagine my life without boxing, it certainly wouldn’t be the same.

O treinador de boxe GOAT….. Emanuel Steward

Deixe um comentário
EUA Boxe Alumni Association, Classe de 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – O grande Tommy Hearns & o falecido Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 19, 2018) – O atrasado Emanuel Steward, indiscutivelmente o maior treinador de boxe de todos os tempos, é um membro da classe de 2018 sendo introduzido no Hall da Fama da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA.

 

 

 

A segunda recepção anual do Hall of Fame da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA, realizada em conjunto com o 2018 EUA Campeonatos Nacionais de Elite e Juventude de Boxe e Juniores e Preparação, Dezembro 2-8, será realizada em dezembro 7, no hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) em Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward era um boxeador, treinador extraordinário, e comentarista da HBO até sua morte prematura em 2012 com a idade de 68. Sua carreira no boxe culminou com sua entrada no Hall da Fama do Boxe Internacional em 1996.

 

 

 

Com a idade de 12, Manny se mudou com sua mãe da Virgínia Ocidental para Detroit, onde sua vida logo se transformou em boxe. Como um pugilista amador, ele compilou um 94-3 registro, com destaque para um desempenho da medalha de ouro no 1963 Torneio Nacional de Luvas de Ouro como peso galo, mas ele decidiu não tentar a equipe olímpica de boxe dos EUA.

 

 

 

Em 1971, Steward tornou-se treinador de meio período no Kronk Gym, onde ele eventualmente guiou muitos dos melhores boxeadores amadores do país. O Kronk Gym mais tarde se tornou propriedade do Steward's e ele o transformou em uma das academias de boxe mais famosas e bem-sucedidas do mundo.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward também atuou como diretor nacional de treinamento para o boxe nos EUA no início dos anos 2000.

 

 

 

Ao longo de sua incrível carreira, Administrador supostamente treinado 41 campeões do mundo, talvez, os mais notáveis ​​foram Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis e Wladimir Klitschko. Ele também treinou Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, e Mike McCallum. Manny também treinou um jovem rapper de Detroit, Eminem, como caixa no ginásio Kronk.

 

 

 

O último campeão mundial treinado por Manny foi Adônis “Super-homem” Stevenson, que continua sendo o atual Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) Campeão mundial dos meio-pesados ​​desde 2013.

 

 

 

“Emanuel sempre dizia, nocautes vender!” Stevenson lembrou-se com carinho. “Ele também foi o primeiro a me dizer, ‘Você será uma estrela e campeão mundial. Apenas não escute pessoas com más intenções, porque você tem talento natural.’ Ele acreditava em mim, mesmo que algumas pessoas não pensassem que eu me tornaria um campeão do mundo.”

 

 

 

“Emanuel Steward impactou a vida de tantos que atravessaram as portas do Kronk Gym,” dito Chris tofflemire, EUA Boxe Alumni Association Diretor Executivo. “Embora ele seja mais reconhecido por sua conquista no nível profissional, seu impacto foi significativo nos amadores. Manny serve como um modelo de treinador para o boxe EUA hoje, e seu impacto será sentido por muito tempo. A Associação de Alumni de Boxe dos EUA apoia esmagadoramente sua indução e espera homenageá-lo como parte da classe Hall of Fame deste ano.”

Criado para defender uma vida inteira, relações mutuamente benéficas entre EUA Boxing e seus ex-alunos, –boxers, funcionários, treinadores e fãs de boxe — A Alumni Association conecta gerações de campeões, inspirando e retribuindo aos futuros campeões de boxe dos EUA, dentro e para fora do anel de.

 

 

 

A Associação de Alumni de Boxe dos EUA está aberta a todos que gostam de boxe e gostariam de permanecer conectados ao boxe amador.. Os membros têm acesso a uma ampla variedade de eventos especiais organizados pela Alumni Association, incluindo a recepção no Hall da Fama da Associação de Antigos Alunos do Boxe.

 

 

 

Para ingressar na Alumni Association, basta registrar-se em alumni@usaboxing.org para $40.00 taxa de associação por ano. Novos membros receberão uma camiseta, chaveiro e carteira eletrônica.

 

 

 

 

“Por anos, ele participava do meu torneio nacional de luvas de prata que eu patrocinava e organizava na cidade de Kansa, apenas para mostrar seu apoio ao programa para jovens.,” adicionou presidente do encaixotamento dos EUA Banheiro Marrom adicionado. “Todo ano eu dizia para ele me avisar se ele estava vindo, para que eu pudesse VIP ele, e todo ano ele me ignorava e aparecia silenciosamente. Eu o notaria na multidão. Eu o expulsava e depois fizemos a mesma coisa no ano seguinte.

 

 

 

“Eu também costumava vê-lo em grandes lutas e ele sempre me fazia sentir especial dizendo que minha empresa salvou o boxe nos anos setenta e oitenta, fornecendo segurança, bem feito, equipamento de boxe com preço justo para o esporte. Ninguém mais me deu esse reconhecimento. Ele era humilde e não um malandro, meu tipo de cara.”

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward deixou sua marca na terra, não apenas como uma personalidade multifacetada no boxe, mas ele também é lembrado por seu magnânimo trabalho de caridade em Detroit, em que ele ajudou jovens na busca pela educação.

 

 

 

Em resumo, embora, ele ensinou boxe, e ninguém nunca fez isso melhor.

TYSON FURY SUCCESSFUL IN HIS RETURN TO BOXING WITH TKO OVER SEFER SEFERI ON SHOWTIME SPORTS SOCIAL PLATFORMS FROM MANCHESTER, INGLATERRA

Maurice Hooker Scores Split-Decision Upset Victory Over Terry Flanagan For WBO 140-Pound World Championship Belt

LOS ANGELES (Junho 9, 2018) – Former Unified Heavyweight World Champion Tyson Fury scored a fourth-round TKO over Sefer Seferi at Manchester Arena in Manchester, Inglaterra, on Saturday in a bout that was streamed live to U.S. audiences via SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

The 6-foot-9, 275-plus pound Fury, who outweighed Seferi by more than 65 pounds following Friday’s weigh-in, looked rusty in the scheduled 10-rounder, his first bout in more than 31 meses. Seferi sat on his stool after four completed rounds and did not answer the bell for round five.

 

 

 

Fúria (26-0, 19 KOs) playfully bounced around for the first few rounds, and was even warned for a lack of activity in the second round against a severely undermanned Seferi (23-2, 21 KOs). Fury is likely to face a tougher opponent in his next fight set for September in a division currently ruled by world title holders Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

 

 

 

Fury’s return to the ring came after 924 days of inactivity due to bouts of depression and admitted drug use following an upset victory over Wladimir Klitschko to take Klitschko’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.

 

 

 

In a fight that preceded Fury-Seferi, undefeated American Maurice Hooker won a split-decision upset victory over hometown favorite Terry Flanagan to capture the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight World Championship belt. Os escores foram 117-111, 115-113 for Hooker, e 117-111 for Flanagan.

 

 

 

With blood streaming down his face, the former lightweight title holder Flanagan (33-1, 13 KOs), who suffered a deep cut on the forehead after an accidental head butt in the seventh round, couldn’t overcome the aggressive Hooker (24-0-3, 16 KOs), who just like training partner Errol Spence Jr., had to travel overseas to win his first world title.

 

 

 

Hooker, a 28-years-old Dallas native, was fighting for the first time outside of the United States against Flanagan, who was a 135-pound champion for three years with five defenses before moving up to the 140-pound class.

 

 

 

Com a vitória, Hooker became the 76th ShoBox: A Nova Geração alum to win a world title, joining the likes of Spence and Wilder.

 

 

 

Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores and analyst Chris Mannix delivered pre and post-fight analysis from STAPLES Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

Later on Saturday night, WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz will rematch former three-division world champion Abner Mares em Showtime Championship Boxing® (10 p.m. ET/PT delayed on the West Coast) from Staples Center in Los Angeles. Na abertura da cerimônia, Houston’s Jermell Charlo will defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Title against former world champion Austin Trout.

“If he has knocked out 21 men before, if he gets it on my chin he will knock me out too.

 

“I look at Sefer like I look at Wladimir Klitschko, Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, anybody. He’s a dangerous puncher.

 

“I could have picked someone a lot easier than Sefer; someone to knock out in a round. But I need rounds.”

 

On his Heavyweight rivals: “They know the message – I’m back. I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now.

 

“I feel sharper now, more power. I fell out of love with the game but now the love is thriving, we are back on fire for one another.

 

“You’re going to be the best Tyson Fury you have ever seen.”

 

“There are no nerves at all. I feel like I have been a goldfish in a tank, trapped and now I am getting released back into the river where I belong. So just put me there and watch me swim.”

 

“I don’t ever remember feeling any better than I do now. I feel shaper now, faster than I’ve ever been, more power, I just want it more.

 

“It was a lost relationship, it was like I was married to the game too long and we sort of fell out of love with each other.”

 

In the opening bout of the live stream, o herói local Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO) for the vacant WBO Super Lightweight crown.

EDMONTON, Canadá (Junho 5, 2018) – Canadian boxing fans will have the opportunity to watch the long-awaited return of the“Gypsy King,” undefeated former unified heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury neste sábado contra Sefer “The Real Deal” Seferi no evento de 10 ronda principal, airing in Canada exclusively on Super Channel, live from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Reino Unido.
Ele está de volta: Fury vs. Seferi, presented by Frank Warren’s Queensbury Promotions, will air exclusively on Super Channel across Canada, a partir de 2:00 p.m. E / 11:00 a.m. PT.
“We couldn’t be more excited to be bringing this highly anticipated bout marking the return of Tyson Fury to the boxing world, to our viewers,” said Don McDonald, Presidente e CEO, Super Canal. “This is exactly the type of exclusive content that Canadian boxing fans have come to expect from Super Channel Sports and is a welcome addition to our growing catalogue of marquee boxing events.”
Perhaps boxing’s most polarizing figure, Fúria (25-0, 15 KOs) has been sidelined with mental health issues for the past 2 Anos e meio, after shocking the boxing world November 28, 2015, when he defeated future Hall of Famer Wladimir Klitschko (64-3, 53 KOs) por meio de uma decisão unânime de 10 (116-111, 115-112, 115-112).
A 6′ 9″ Fury became the undisputed world heavyweight champion, securing the IBF, WBA, WBO, IBO and The Ring campeonatos, only to be stripped and/or relinquish his title belts without a single defense.
(L-R) – Em sua última luta, Tyson Fury upset Wladimir Klitschko
Canadian boxing fans are more than familiar with Fury, who held his extended training camp in Canada, at Hotel Lac Leamy in Gatineau, prior to his April 20, 2013 fight at famed Madison Square Garden in New York City, in which he stopped multiple world champion Steve Cunningham in the seventh round.
“I can’t wait to get in there and prove that I’m a better fighter than I’ve ever been,” the charismatic Fury said. “I’m coming into the prime of my career now and I’ve never felt better. I’m fitter, stronger and faster than the Fury of 2015.
“It’s going to be a huge night for the City of Manchester (where Fury was born). I’m delighted to be fighting at the iconic Manchester Arena for the first time in my career. I’m promising the fans a special performance to thank them for their loyal support.”
Seferi, fighting out of Albania, has suffered only one loss during his otherwise perfect 11-year pro boxing career, losing a 10-round decision in 2016 to future WBA heavyweight world champion Manuel Charr (29-4) for the vacant WBA International crown.
“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” Seferi predicted. “I’m very disciplined and always ready to take on everyone and anyone. This will not be an easy night for him. I’m coming to Manchester to beat one of the boxing legends of the 21st century.
“He is tall and strong, but he won’t be ready for the pressure that I will bring. Two-and-one-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko. I am going to seize the opportunity with both hands.”
The 12-round co-feature features local hero, undefeated Brit Terry “Turbo” Flanagan (33-0, 13 KOs), in his bid to become a two-division world champion, versus unbeaten American Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KOs) for the vacant WBO super-lightweight world title.
Three other exciting fights on the “Ele está de volta: Fury vs. Seferi” cartão, in addition to the previously mentioned main event and co-feature, will air in Canada exclusively on Super Channel.

Fury To Face Sefer Seferi; Terry Flanagan To Face Maurice Hooker For Vacant 140-Pound World Title

Sábado, Junho 9 Live on SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel and SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook Page

 

NOVA IORQUE (Junho 4, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports has secured the U.S. rights to stream the long-awaited return of former heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury, que enfrentará Sefer Seferi in a 10-round heavyweight bout Saturday, Junho 9 from Manchester Arena. Showtime Boxing INTERNATIONAL® will stream live exclusively to U.S. audiences on the SHOWTIME Boxing Facebook page and SHOWTIME Sports YouTube Channel beginning at 4:30 p.m. E/1:30 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

Na luta de abertura, o herói local Terry Flanagan (33-0, 13 KO) will look to become a two-division world champion when he clashes with unbeaten American Maurice Hooker (23-0-3, 16 KO) for the vacant WBO Junior Welterweight crown. This will be the fourth live streaming boxing event this year on SHOWTIME Sports social media platforms.

 

 

 

Live coverage for the Frank Warren promoted event will be provided by BT Sport and BoxNation with U.K. sportscasters John Rawling providing the blow-by-blow and Richie Woodhall the analysis. Boxing broadcaster Ray Flores e analista Chris Mannix will deliver pre-fight and post-fight analysis from Staples Center in Los Angeles for the SHOWTIME Sports audience.

 

 

 

The live stream of Fury vs. Seferi will precede that evening’s SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® doubleheader that features WBA Featherweight World Champion Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch against fellow three-division world champion Abner Mares live on SHOWTIME (10 p.m. ET / PT, delayed in the West Coast) from Staples Center. Na co-metragem, Jermell Charlo will face Austin Trout for the WBC Super Welterweight World Championship.

 

 

 

Fúria (25-0, 18 KOs), a former WBA, WBO and IBF Heavyweight World Champion will end a two-years-and-seven-months exile from the sport on June 9. Fury has been inactive since outpointing Wladimir Klitschko in Dusseldorf in November 2015 due to an injury, personal problems and a doping ban.

 

 

 

“I’m the fittest I’ve ever been,” said Fury, who has teamed up with new trainer Ben Davison. “Timing, reflexes, everything is better than it’s ever been. I kid you not. Eu sou 29 anos, coming into the prime of my life, I’m stronger and faster, holding more muscle mass than ever. I’m more confident looking at the competition.”

 

 

 

Albania’s Seferi (23-1, 21 KOs) is a 39-year-old Switzerland-based cruiserweight who is stepping up in weight and opposition when he faces the 6-foot-9 Fury. Seferi’s sole loss came in 2016 in a heavyweight bout against now-secondary WBA heavyweight champ Manuel Charr.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a hard fight for Fury,” said Seferi. “Two-and-a-half years out of the ring is a long time and nobody knows if he is still the same fighter that dethroned Wladimir Klitschko.”

 

 

 

Flanagan, the first Englishman to earn a lightweight world title, will seek to capture a title in a second weight class just days away from his 29th aniversário. Hooker, a southpaw from Dallas, Texas and ShoBox alum, has been training with Terence Crawford. Hooker will look to follow in the footsteps of fellow Dallas resident Errol Spence Jr., who went to Kell Brook’s hometown of Sheffield, England to capture his first world championship.

FNU Combate Sports Show: UFC 214 breakdown, Nobody Likes Dana White, Tom and Tony break down Broner vs. Garcia and Lomachenko vs. Marriaga

Deixe um comentário

This week’s combat sports show is a split personality situation. We had technical difficulties getting all of us together for the show, so we recorded Tom and Tony chatting with each other on Thursday night. I’ve added my portion today. It all worked out to some incredible insight about Mayweather vs. McGregor, Dana White’s growing problem with disgruntled stars in the UFC, Broner vs. Garcia and Lomachenko vs. Marriaga. We also break down Jon Jones beating Daniel Cormier at UFC 214 and the implications for a Brock Lesnar showdown in the Octagon. It’s far from likely, but it’s intriguing. We also touch on the retirements of Juan Manuel Marquez and Wladimir Klitschko.
