“We are delighted to have both Steve Weisfeld and Johnny Turner appear as guest speakers at our next meeting,” Прстенот 8 претседател Џек Хирш рече. “Weisfeld is one of the best judges in the sport having worked some of the biggest fights. With all the controversial decisions we have seen over the years, it will be fascinating to hear Weisfeld’s take on things.
“Johnny Turner was one of the most charismatic boxers on the New York scene in the 1970’s and 80’s. He also had a part in the movie, Raging Bull. It will conjure up a lot of warm memories hearing him reminisce about his career.”
A native of New Jersey, Weisfeld has judged more than 1,200 fights during his 25-yeear-old career, including numerous world championships all over the world. His last was the world middleweight championship bout at Madison Square Garden between Генадиј “GGG” Golovkin и Даниел Џејкобс.
Turner (42-6-2, 32 КО) was a staple on the New York boxing scene from 1979 на 1984. The Brooklyn welterweight fought just about everywhere in New York, including the famed Madison Square Garden and legendary Sunnyside Garden in Queens. His most notable opponent was future Hall of Famer Вилфредо Бенитез, who became a three-division world champion.
