UNCASVILLE, Conn. (Juli 1, 2018) – Returning to the ring after an 11-month layoff due to a broken jaw, Joe “The Beast” Kovač, Jr. provided early fireworks last night (Subota, Jun 30) in the latest installment in the popular Slugfest at The Sun serija, presented by Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing, u Mohegan Sun Arena u Uncasville, Konektikat.

I hit him with a decent shot when I was walking him down and saw that I hurt him,” Joe Smith Jr. objašnjeno. “Tako, I looked to end it. I would have liked to have gotten some rust off, but I’m happy with my performance. My jaw feels great.

 

 

 

We’re looking to go to the top,” Smith’s promoter Joe DeGuardia izjavio. “Joe’s plan and goal has always been to be world champion. We wanted (Sergey) Kovalev before this fight, but it didn’t work out. We’re hoping to get him in the fall.

 

 

 

Kovalev looks great, he motivates me,” Smith noted. “I think I can take advantage of his conditioning.

In the television opener, undefeated junior welterweight “Akcija” Anthony Laureano (8-0 3KO-a) lived up to his nickname, never taking a backwards step, as he pounded Juan Rodriguez (8-10-1 6KO-a) in the center of the ring from the opening bell through the end for a dominant six-round unanimous decision. The 2016 New England Golden Gloves champion Laureano, who fights out of East Hartford, CT, put on an entertaining show in front of his large, loud contingent of fans. Laureano effectively used every punch in his vast arsenal to break down a tough, game Rodriguez.

 

 

 

I thought I did well,” Laureano said after the fight, “but I’d like to see more angles. I want to see more power, suviše. It’s there, he felt it; it’s coming. I have a long road. Sljedeća borba, I’d like to have an eight-rounder. We’re adding more people to the team. I hope everyone see that I’m getting better each fight.

I’m so excited to be back fighting at home, especially after our history making fight on HBO. I fought Cecilia Braekhus.

“Na papiru, it was a loss, but it was really a win-win for me, and women’s boxing. It’s already opened a lot of doors for me. There’s been so much growth for me and women’s boxing. It’s going to open the door for other women to fight on networks. It was a step up for women’s boxing, not just for one event, but forever.

 

 

 

I’m the first female Native American to fight in New England.

 

 

 

I’ve been fighting 18 godina. I played basketball and volleyball in high school, but I love boxing.

 

 

 

I showed in my last fight that I belong to be with the elite. I want to get a rematch (with Braekhus).”

 

 

 

Being a road warrior, I’m familiar fighting away or at home, but it’s more comfortable fighting here at home. My hometown crowd is always very supportive.

 

 

 

“(Subota) I am going to come out with a victory. My opponent’s taller, but I just need to follow the game plan and execute.

The people are coming to pay money and they are going to get what they paid for. Even in my last fight, people got what they paid for. They came to see action and to see somebody come forward. They don’t want to see nobody dancing around. I’m not saying that style is bad, I can do it too, but people like two guys who come forward and want to fight. I’m that fighter. I’m that fighter that always wants to fight.

 

 

 

This bout against Rodriguez will mark the third time in his career that Laureano is fighting at Mohegan Sun.

 

 

 

When asked about the venue, this is what Laureano had to say, “I love MoheganMohegan is my home. There is no place like it. I love the ring, everything is just so beautiful.

BILJA GOLDMAN: “Ako sam dao bilo kakav doprinos boksu – Nadam se da jesam – Učinio sam to redefiniranjem evidencije i stvaranjem nove perspektive u povijesti boksa. Ponosim se time, ali nisam to uradio sam.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch i Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “Moram zahvaliti toliko mnogo ljudi na ovoj časti. Ja sam Bufalonac. Niko više ne podržava jedan New York, ali nije. Ovo je za mene posebno jer je to Boksačka kuća slavnih države New York. Ovo me učvršćuje i čini da mislim da nisam samo lokalni dječak. Došao je veliki nedostatak iz malog grada, sparing nije bio isti kao u teretanama u New Yorku, ali imao sam prednost iz zapadnog New Yorka. Niko se nije snalazio kao mi u Buffalu 10,000, onda 16,00 i na kraju 18,000 ljudi. Uvijek su bili iza mene i to dijelim s njima jer me njihova podrška učinila. Moj san je bio da se borim u Buffalu i da nastavim borbu tamo.
“Jedan od vrhunaca mog života bio je borba protiv Monte Barretta na HBO -u u Madison Square Gardenu. Bio je jedan od najvećih boraca na svijetu koji se borio za svjetsku titulu. Uvijek sam želio postići titulu svjetskog prvaka, ali ja to nikad nisam dobio. To je u redu, Malo sam bio ogorčen, ali ne bih mogao biti sretniji u karijeri. Najbolji dio boksa je bratstvo koje dijelimo.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens i Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “Znam da ljudi to uvijek govore, ali ovo je istina: Dugujem toliko ljudi koji su me podržavali tokom moje karijere. Boks je za mene oduvijek bio daleko od kuće, a danas se osjećam kao da sam kod kuće.
“Bio sam 30, živi u Brooklyn Heights, i nazad vozeći taksi čekajući na stolovima. U glavi mi se ugasilo svjetlo: boks je sport underdoga, a ja sam underdog. Sljedećeg dana otišao sam u Gleason's Gym – centar svemira. Kretao sam se po svim teretanama u gradu, sastanak sa promoterima, menadžeri i treneri. Počeo sam praviti utakmice za promotere, a onda me je zaposlio Cedric Kushner 1980-2002. U 2002, Dobio sam poziv da radim za Državnu atletsku komisiju New Yorka kao njen koordinator zajednice i direktor boksa. Onda, Postao sam predsjedavajući i služio sam dva mandata. Danas, Izuzetno sam ponosan što sam dio Boksačke kuće slavnih u državi New York.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman i Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “Ne mogu da verujem ovoj gomili. Da bismo radili ono što radimo, žrtve i podrška koju dobijate od svoje porodice su toliko važne i (u Goodmanovom slučaju) bilo toliko godina. Dozvolili su nam da radimo ono što radimo. Svi mi volimo boks!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, U školu, Clay Jenkins i Bob Duffy
U ŠKOLU: “Mislio sam da je boks najgluplji i najgluplji sport ikada. Ko je htio da dobije udarac u lice? Kasno sam počeo boksati. Igrao sam se oko njih i ljudi su rekli da sam prilično dobar. Počeo sam boksati kad sam imao 20, u vojsci, stacionirano na Ft. Hood. Četiri godine kasnije, Bio sam u olimpijskom timu. Razlog zašto sam imao sjajnog sparing partnera, Ray Mercer. Ako sam htio biti u ringu svaki dan s Rayom, Ili sam hteo da dobijem batine, ili ozdravi.
“Sjećam se da mi je Bob Arum dao svoju posjetnicu. Nisam ga poznavao. Poznavao sam samo tri osobe u boksu: Don King, Muhammad Ali i Sugar Ray Leonard. Nisam pratio boks i jedini razlog zašto sam boksao bio je taj što bih morao spavati u šumi da nisam (u vojsci). Boks je: udari ga, pre nego što me udari.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin i Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Želim se zahvaliti odboru. Biću 70 i počeo sam boksati kad sam bio 18. To je stvorilo novi pravac u mom životu. Tako sam ponosan što sam u društvu sa momcima koji to nisu samo pričali, svidjelo im se. Ako zaista volite ovaj sport, zaista morate to naučiti. Bilo koji muškarac koji je ušao u ring, plus svi radovi na putu, vrijeme u teretani i žrtvovanje onoga što jedu, učinili su to najbolje što mogu.
“U boksu, nećete pobijediti u svakoj borbi, ali da li borac pobjeđuje ili gubi, ako daje 100 posto, on je pobednik. Oni rade posao, trčati pet milja dnevno, vežbanje u teretani, a zatim otišao kući kako bi proveo vrijeme sa svojom porodicom. Prijatelji i porodica vam uvijek stoje iza leđa.”

(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Ja sam bez teksta. To je divno. Aspida (bivši predsedavajući NYSAC -a Gordon), sjećate li se ove priče? Bilo je samo troje sudija i, nažalost, jedan je pozvao bolesnog. Sedeo sam pored prstena bez odgovornosti. Randy je rekao da moram raditivečeras. Rekao sam da nemam licencu i da to ne mogu učiniti. Rekao je Randy, "Podignite desnu ruku", i bilo je uključeno. Tamo su me bacili, ali bilo je u redu.
“Najveći uspjesi su moja djeca i muž. Nisam mogao tražiti bolju situaciju. I Ralph Petrillo je dio moje porodice; on je bio moj drugi po komandi. Imao sam i najbolje zvaničnike: zamjenici komesara, inspektori, sudije i sudije. Ne bih bio ovde sa njima bez njih. Bob Duffy je sve ovo sastavio. Lično mislim da je neverovatan. Moje putovanje se nastavlja, Ja sam blagoslovljen.”

Nedjelja, April 29, Indukcija Večera
Kid Chocolate, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe i Sam Taub vode novu klasu

(L-R) – Bob i Murray Goodman
NEW YORK (Mart 26, 2018) – Doživotni boks Bob Goodman i njegov otac, kasnih murray Goodman, su među 23 pripadnici klase 2018 godine primljen u Boksačku kuću slavnih države New York (NYSBHOF) na Nedjelja popodne (12:30-5:30 poslije podne. I), April 29.
Sedma godišnja uvodna večera NYSBHOF -a bit će ponovo održana u Russo's On The Bayu na Howard Beachu, Njujork.
Legendarni boksački publicista, murray Goodman (Bronx) doveo je svog sina u slatku nauku kada je Bob imao samo osam godina. Ostatak je za Goodmanove bio historijski, koji su oboje primljeni u nekoliko Kuća slavnih, uključujući i Međunarodnu boksersku kuću slavnih.
“Ovo je velika čast za mene i mog oca,” Rekao je Bob. “Voleo bih da je živ danas da bi bio tamo. Ja sam boks. Imala sam osam godina i sa ocem sam išla na sve trening kampove, koji je bio boksački pisac i sportski urednik INS -a (Hearst News Service) usluga. Šala je u tome što sam začeta kod Grossingera (Catskill Resort Hotel kamp za obuku). Boks mi je tek ušao u život. Moj tata i ja smo imali neke poslove u promociji i odnosima s javnošću, sve različite vrste sportskih poslova, ali uvijek je bilo boksa.
“Ja sam najsrećniji momak na svetu. Odrastao sam radeći stvari koje volim. Koliko ljudi to može reći? Upoznao sam i sprijateljio se sa Joe Louisom, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano i mnogi drugi. Ostao bih u kampovima sedmicama. Ustao bih da trčim sa bokserima i dobio priliku da budem u blizini svojih heroja. Takođe sam upoznao trenere i druge u boksu i kasnije obožavaoce. Moram sve da upoznam. Odrastao sam u boksu, ceo moj život je bio boks, 65 godine u poslu.”
Bob je, možda, najpoznatiji kao potpredsjednik i provodadžija za Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), kao i četvrt stoljeća koji je bio potpredsjednik Odjela za boks, Svodnica i direktorica odnosa s javnošću za Don King Productions. Također je promovirao mnoge svjetske prvake kao predsjednika svoje kompanije, Garden State Boxing.
“Sjećam se da sam tjednima odlazio na trening kampove,” rado se sjećao 78-godišnji Goodman. “Slikao bih, pišite priče svaki dan i koristite ih pomoću fotokopirnog stroja da ih pošaljete AP -u i UPI -ju. Toliko sam toga odgojen u poslu, čak i utovariti kamione sa stolicama, prsten, zvučnike i još mnogo toga. Moj otac je bio direktor publiciteta za Međunarodni boksački klub u Madison Square Gardenu. Radio sam tamo kao tinejdžer.
“Čast mi je što sam sa ocem i mnogim bokserskim momcima primljen u Boksersku kuću slavnih u državi New York. Razlikuju se od ljudi u bilo kojem drugom sportu. Jedna od nagrada na koje sam osvojio i na koje sam najponosniji je James J. Walkerova memorijalna nagrada za dugu i zaslužnu službu boksu (BWAA in 1960).
“Imam sreću što sam prešao različite ere u boksu. Tada je to bio drugačiji svet, imali smo 20-30 pisci sedmicama ostaju u kampovima za obuku. Upoznao sam stare boksere i trenere.”
