USA Boxing pays tribute to True Patriot Robert Carmody 1964 Олимпийски бронзов медалист & Soldier killed in Vietnam

Юни 4, 2020 FNU47 Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Май 21, 2020) – People all across the United States will rightfully pay respect to fallen military men and women during this Memorial Day weekend. One true American Patriot that USA Boxing will remember forever is 1964 Олимпийски бронзов медалистRobert “Butterball” Carmody, who was killed in action three years later at the height of the Vietnam War.

Born in 1938, Carmody learned to fight on the streets of Brooklyn, where he lived before joining the U.S. Army in 1957, and where he took his first boxing lesson. A natural-born fighter, he was selected to represent the 11^тата Airborne Division, even after it was deployed to Germany, after he had earned his airborne wings, and Robert developed into a record 4-time All-Army flyweight champion.

Carmody also captured top honors at the 1962 International Military Sports Council and earned a bronze medal in 1963 at the prestigious Pan American Games. At the 1964 Olympic боксови Trials, held at the famous New York’s World’s Fair, he upset flyweight favoriteMelvin Miller to earn a spot on the 1964 САЩ олимпийски Бокс Екип.

At the Olympics, Carmody became a close friend of heavyweightДжо Фрейзър, the lone American to win an Olympic gold medal at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The smallest and biggest men on the Olympic Team were buddies. Frazier, разбира се, went on to become a Hall of Fame heavyweight champion, who was inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame this past December.

“He’s the type of guy you really need,” Frazier said in a 2006 ESPN.com interview. “I had some hard times, things was rough, but he was a guy that helped you out a lot. I loved him like a brother.”

Hampered by a bruised hand, the 5’ 2”, 112-pound Carmody had a bye in the opening round, нокаутиранNam Singh Thapa (Непал) in his first fight, took a decision (4-1) срещуOtto Babiasch (Германия), and lost in the semifinals by way of a questionable decision (1-4) to the eventual Olympic champion, Fernando Atzon (Италия).

Although he never publicly complained about the decision that may have cost him an Olympic gold medal, Carmody was visibly upset as he headed to the locker room, когатоGeneral William Westmoreland hollered to him, “Good job, soldier!” Carmody, въпреки че, turned and reportedly yelled back, “You dumb son of a bitch!"

After the Olympics, Carmody retired from amateur boxing with a 128-12 рекорд, returned home and rather than turn pro, he decided to stay in the U.S. Армия, training a few teams at the International Military Sports Council, including the U.S. Army squad.

Strings were pulled for the 10-year military veteran, because of his imposing status as an Olympic bronze medalist, he didn’t have to go with his 199^тата Light Infantry Brigade when it was deployed to Vietnam. But even though he wasn’t combat trained, due to his training as a boxer, Carmody insisted on deploying with his unit on June of 1967, the day his son, Robert Carmody, Jr. was born.

Няколко седмици по-късно, Staff Sergeant Carmody’s unit. D Troop of the U.S. 17^тата Calvary Regiment was on a routine six-man foot patrol north of Saigon. They were ambushed by Viet Cong guerillas and five of the six U.S. soldiers were killed, including Carmody, who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star for valor. He became the first Olympic boxing medalist to die in combat.

Undefeated boxing prospect Lamont Powell Escaped 36-bullet shooting without a scratch Founded “Gloves Up, Guns Down” благотворителност

Май 12, 2020 FNU47 Оставете коментар

Lamont Powell (R ) is a winner in different ways

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (Май 5, 2020) – Undefeated super welterweight prospectЛамонт “The Blessed One” Пауъл, based on a near death experience 2-½ years ago in Providence, could easily have “Късметлия” as his nickname.

The 26-year-old Powell was a three-time Silver Mittens champion, who compiled a 45-4 любителски запис, prior to turning two years ago. Той е 5-0 (1 KO) as a professional but, due to the pandemic, he hasn’t fought since last August, when he won a 4-round unanimous decision over 14-7-1Рикардо Гарсия.

Back on that near fatal night in 2018, Lamont and his uncle were sitting in a car in front of Powell’s home, when another vehicle suddenly and surprisingly stopped near them. Two unidentified young men jumped out and starting firing automatic weapons in Powell’s direction. Thirty-six rounds were shot, one hit Powell’s uncle in the leg, but Powell somehow miraculously escaped without a scratch.

“No bullets hit me,” Powell confirmed. “I’m blessed and the reason for that is God and my mother – we lost her (Melissa) когато бях 3 – who is my guardian angel. We were just sitting in a car, when two kids got out of a car and starting shooting our car. They had extended clips, but I don’t know who they were, and neither do the police to this day. My uncle was taken to the hospital and I had to start watching myself closer.”

Powell’s grandparents – **Phillip Copper** и**Mary Ann Powell** – brought him up, because his mother had passed away and his father was in and out of his life. His grandmother is his legal guardian and his grandfather has been like a father since he was a baby.

Naturally, after his surreal experience, Powell dramatically changed his lifestyle. Instead of running the streets and ending up like many people he knew, dead or incarcerated, Powell dedicated himself to boxing and created a charity for high-risk kids, *Gloves Up, Guns Down*, sponsored by Big Six Boxing Academy in Providence, where he trains with his grandfather as head coach, as well as having former U.S. Olympian boxerJason “Big Six” Път в ъгъла си.

After the shooting somebody who had been shot in the head reached out to Powell. They met to talk about what they’d been through and soon createdGloves up, Guns Down, който “blew up” overnight, according to Powell.

“Gloves Up, Guns Down” offers at-risk youngsters an opportunity to try boxing as part of an after-school program aimed to keep kids active and out of trouble. Kids are supplied with boxing equipment and taught valuable lessons through boxing with proper coaching and support.
“I started boxing when I was eight years old,” Powell added. “Boxing kept me off of the streets and busy. This is a sport outside of school that everyone can get involved in.”

Powell is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Sports and Entertainment (CES). Burchfield clearly remembers the first time he saw Powell, because he was so impressive running a hilly 2 ½ mile course around a pond at Lincoln Woods State Park.

“I walk there often, and I’ve watched everybody struggle running those hills, including top athletes, but I saw this kid running the hills without a problem,” Burchfield remembered. “I later found out that he was a boxer and knew I’d never have to worry about him being in top shape.

“Lamont came to see me with his grandfather, who has been such a big part of his life, and laterRoland Estrada joined us. I was impressed because Lamont had a full-time job, още, he trains so hard. I learned that he came from one of the toughest areas of Providence and ran the streets as a kid. Един ден, he called and asked if I would go with him to the Met School, where he was going to be speaking to about 150 kids and teachers. He spoke about running the streets and admitted that he had done it all. He said to me that if he could impact the lives of one or two of those kids, he’d feel happy, and that brought tears to my eyes. He was going speak at other schools, but this pandemic has put that on hold for now. His program is No. 1 in his life, helping at-risk kids so they don’t repeat what Lamont did when he was younger.”

В пръстена, Powell displays a stiff jab and, разбира се, tremendous conditioning. And like most boxers, he believes that he’ll be a champion someday.

“Everything is going as planned with CES,” Powell concluded. “My grandfather has been my head coach since day one, Jason also coaches me, and Doc. Estrada is my adviser. Boxing came naturally to me. I just needed to put in the hard work. Someday I will be a champion and I can’t wait to see my grandfather in the ring holding the belt over his head, because nobody deserves that more than him.”

Burchfield has been a boxing promoter for nearly 30 години, and he agrees that Powell will be a champion someday. “He’s definitely is on a mission to be a champion,” Burchfield added, and he has everything needed to make that happen. This kid has a really good story. He can be a champion and continue helping at-risk kids have better lives. What’s better than that?”

Пауъл, who also gave-away toys to children in need last Christmas at Big Six Boxing Academy, is on the boxing journey of his career that he believes will climax someday with him being crowned world champion.

Накратко, Lamont Powell is the total package, в и извън ринга. And lucky to be alive!

RINGSIDE Chronicles The Lives And Struggles Of Two Boxing Prodigies Coming Of Age On Chicago’s South Side

Premieres On Friday, Юни 12 При 8:30 p.m. ET / PT на SHOWTIME

НЮ ЙОРК - май 4, 2020 - SHOWTIME announced today it has acquired rights to the award-winning documentary RINGSIDE, which chronicles the dramatic upbringing of two boxing prodigies and follows the divergent paths they take as they navigate life’s uncertainties on the South Side of Chicago. Filmed over the course of nine years by award-winning director Andre Hörmann, RINGSIDE will premiere on SHOWTIME on Friday, Юни 12 при 8:30 p.m. ET / PT.

Winner of the Silver Hugo Award at the Chicago International Film Festival, RINGSIDE documents the lives of Kenneth Sims Jr., Destyne Butler Jr., and their dedicated fathers who train them, and their aspirations of surviving one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the nation to achieve boxing glory. Hörmann teamed up with award-winning cinematographer Tom Bergmann and editor Vincent Assmann in 2009 to begin following the gifted young athletes. Starting with their U.S. Olympic^® Boxing Team Trials, the filmmakers captured pivotal moments over nine years as the young men’s choices and circumstances changed, leading them down separate paths – one towards a promising boxing career and the other through the prison system.

The result is a moving story about hope, ambition, self-discipline, resilience and redemption. It is this type of provocative story, at the intersection of sports and society, that has become the hallmark of SHOWTIME Sports Documentary Films.”

Both young men achieved remarkable success in their amateur careers. Sims amassed over 250 любителски битки, winning numerous national titles, and after his professional debut in 2014, became a sought-after sparring partner for Manny Pacquiao and Jorge Linares among others. He has made four appearances on the SHOWTIME prospect developmental seriesShoBox: Новото поколение към днешна дата. Conversely, Butler fell in with a burglary ring and served time in prison. He returned to boxing following his release in 2018, winning the Chicago Golden Gloves. He now stands undefeated following nine professional bouts.

Stone Blood Shilajit: Essential Nutrient and Mineral Supplement

Април 27, 2020 FNU47 Оставете коментар

От: Rich Бержерон

More and more people are getting health conscious these days, wondering what they can do to boost their immune systems. Covid-19 is not only dangerous and deadly, but it also will most likely mutate when it comes back again this fall. It’s time to pull out all the stops, and the more natural remedies we can find the better. If this crisis proved anything thus far it is that the traditional idea of Capitalism-driven “health care” may be hurting more people than it helps at times. Toxic, risky, unproven drugs flood the marketplace instead of all natural and much more effective alternatives.

Stone Blood Shilajit is one of those miracle supplements you’ve never heard of. You won’t see any manufacturer of this product advertising it on network television. Stone Blood Shilajit is an absolutely unique product, almost unknown in the west. Shilajit is an ancient remedy used and revered in the east for thousands of years, believed to support the body in dealing with and overcoming a wide range of physical and mental conditions. There is finally a spectacular American source of this product traditionally used for centuries in the Himalayas.

There is an old saying that you can’t get blood from a stone, often used in movies and television when a character tries to explain he doesn’t have enough money to pay a bill/debt. Apparently the whole idea that stones don’t actually bleed is a myth. It’s just not human blood. Higher elevations are key to finding the best stoneblood, which contains over 85 minerals and Fulvic Acid. The acid facilitates ideal delivery of all these potent, pure minerals through the cell walls.

Shilajit’s had many nicknames over the 14+ centuries it’s been known to be an Ayuverdic staple. It is the almighty universal health care serum that could have an Earth shaking impact on the science of lengthening the lifespan.

It’s been called “The Destroyer of Weakness,” “The Tar of the Gods” и “The Elixir of Life.” It may even promote serious and stable cognitive rehabilitation. Looking at this product as the editor of a Fight News Web-site, I noticed it is promising in the area of reducing the plaque and residual damage caused by repeated head trauma. The most significant sports we cover here come with an inherent risk of brain injury, and this product could legitimately help every fighter deal with the damage a long career can cause.

I won’t try to bore you by listing all the real intimate details of how and why this product works so many wonders. I’ll let these two videos give you a more insightful education on what it does and why it works. Then we’ll tell you how my own personal experience with Stone Blood Shilajit panned out.

HTTPS://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFPcZlTK5to

I drink my stone blood twice a day out of a shot glass. It is very potent and pure, and it has a distinct and unpleasant taste. It also gives you a kick like a hard alcohol shot might do. It is very hard to dilute or mask the flavor and the potency. I found orange juice or lemonade work the best at making it easier to stomach the boldness. The shot glass is good because you down it quick, and having a “chaser” drink on hand might be a good idea as well. The first few times drinking it can be eye opening in more ways than one.

As a writer, of course I wanted to find a unique way to describe what this stuff really tastes like. The first wave is like pine tar and cod liver oil, and then there is a sort of aftertaste of old dirty socks. None of that sounds delightful, until you experience the results and get used to taking your two daily doses.

This compound is already known to the National Institutes of Health, where one article proclaims:

“It is a potent and very safe dietary supplement, restoring the energetic balance and potentially able to prevent several diseases. Recent investigations point to an interesting medical application toward the control of cognitive disorders associated with aging, and cognitive stimulation. По този начин, fulvic acid, the main active principle, blocks tau self-aggregation, opening an avenue toward the study of Alzheimer’s therapy. In essence, this is a nutraceutical product of demonstrated benefits for human health.”

My experience with this product has been very positive thus far. I have not kept religiously to the two doses a day that are suggested, but I do stick to at least one dose a day, 15 drops. I went through a full bottle before writing this, and I’m already dipping into the second one.

The most significant impact you will enjoy immediately is a rush of energy. I love to take my dose in the morning before my first cup of coffee. The concentration of all those minerals hitting your system is a jolt like you’ve never felt before. It’s the all-natural 5-hour Energy, without any true stimulants that just make you anxious and nervous while hyping up your energy levels.

Getting past the taste is the hardest part, but there are so many rewards that make it worth it. I have been doing daily boxing workouts during the Corona Virus lockdown, and Stone Blood Shilajit is my go to for that natural pre-workout rush. It is one of those supplements you will not want to go without once you get settled into your daily routine.

If you care about your health and don’t believe in the toxic treatments with debilitating side effects that big Pharma sells, this product is your one stop shop for universal natural health care. As a satisfied user I can definitely say I enjoyed my experience and will be a lifelong customer.

When you go with Stone Blood Shilajit, you are getting an American made wonder of the world. It is mined and purified by hand by one person. All this is accomplished using proven, ancient techniques.

For more information on exactly what’s in this amazing formula and how it works, check out the Stone Blood Shilajit Web-site here:

Stay tuned to Fight News Unlimited for a follow up video review I’ll be posting when I’m done with my second bottle.

Роден да боксира Рей “Boom Boom” Манчини

Април 27, 2020 FNU47 Оставете коментар

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Април 27, 2020) — As the son of a prizefighter, Приет в Международната зала на славата на бокса (“Class of 2015”) **Лъч “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 (WBA) lightweight title in 1982.

Mancini’s father, късните **Lenny “Boom Boom” Манчини**, boxed professionally from 1937 към 1947, съставяне на 46-12-3 (16 Нокаута) про рекорд. Lenny was the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the world in 1941 and considered a future world champion. Обаче, 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.

Неговият син, Лъч, 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, фактически, it made me hungrier to succeed.”

Succeed he did, despite his aggressive style that best suited the professional ranks much more than amateurs. Той спечели 43 на 50 аматьорски мачове, 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 **Дейви Армстронг**,” 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** в 1979 Националните Златни ръкавици Tournament. (След това) 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 (като 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 пътя, въпреки че, 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, Ohio, спиране **Phil Bowen** в кръг за отваряне. Ray fought 15 times in his first year as a pro and extended his winning streak to 19, before he challenged World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight World champion **Алексис Аргуело** (67-5), who won by way of a 14-round technical knockout, in a fight that was dead even after 10 кръга. After the match, then future Hall of Famer Arguello was quoted as saying: “I think my heart is special, но неговото (Манчини) is bigger than I have. Someday he will be champion.”

Only seven months and three fights later, Mancini captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight World title way of a sensational first-round knockout of defending champion **Arturo Frias** (24-1). Ray dedicated that fight to his father, who was unable to become world champion, due to the wounds he suffered in World War II.

Mancini finished his pro career with a 29-5 (23 Нокаута), 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 пъти).

“Ray ‘Boom Boom’ Mancini demonstrated the heart of a champion throughout his career,” каза **Крис tofflemire**, Директор на възпитаниците на САЩ по бокс. “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 Павлик**.

“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. Така, 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)”), песен (“Boom Boom Mancini” by Warren Zevon) and book (“The Good Son: The Life of Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini by Mark Kriegel) about him.

Днес, 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 (в бокса) as close as I want to be and can still be a fan,” той 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, в ретроспекция, 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. Така, why would I want to have done anything differently?”
