Boxing saved the life of Two-Division World Champion “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera

Tinggalkan komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Juni 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, Juara dunia dua divisi “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Rivera credits boxing for saving his life.

“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 tua tahun, I gave up on life and my decision-making reflected that: hanging around with the wrong crowd including gang members, consuming alcohol between the ages of 10 and 15. I was definitely going in the wrong direction.

“I never thought I had a future until I started boxing. It’s hard to say what I’d be doing if I had never boxed, but by the way I was living, I’d probably be in jail or dead by now.”

Born in Philadelphia, Rivera lived in Puerto Rico and Springfield, MA, prior to him moving to Worcester, MA, where he met a man who helped change his life, Carlos Garcia, who was in charge of a special boxing program at the Worcester Boys & girls Club.

Rivera had started boxing at the age of 14 ½ in a basement with his friend, Felix Lopez.  He had fallen in love with boxing after watchingRoberto Duran upset"Gula" Ray Leonard in their first fight. The young Puerto Rican-American specifically used his amateur boxing experience to prepare for the professional ranks. Garcia, who is in the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame, put him in a novice match after only one amateur fight in order to put Rivera on the fast track, because he understood that Rivera dreamed of becoming a world champion as a professional. Rivera finished with a 35-15 catatan amatir, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.

“I never had big amateur aspirations but, tentu saja, I wanted to win every fight I competed in,” Rivera said. “Once I didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, my plan was to turn pro. I didn’t know how much the amateurs would groom me to be a successful professional boxer. I’m glad I listened to my coaches, otherwise I would have turned pro earlier, because I would get frustrated with the politics of the amateurs. I hated losing, but I hated losing even more when I knew that I should have won. After three years together (with Garcia) in the amateurs and gaining a great wealth of experience traveling all over New England, the country and even fighting in Canada, I saw all types of styles and talented boxers that helped me as a pro. Carlos is like a father figure to me and during all of our training and travels, he was always in my head, building me up to become a good boxer, but also to help me become a better man.”

Pada November 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, merobohkanFrancisco Mercedes in the second round. He went on to win his first 23 pro bouts, including the Massachusetts State welterweight title in 1995. His first pro loss was to veteran Philadelphia fighterWillie Wise (20-3-4), who won a controversial 10-round split decision at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Rivera had proven that he was more than a prospect in his first loss, losing a close decision (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) to an opponent that upset Mexican iconJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) only three years later.

Showing the same resiliency that stayed with Rivera his entire career, two fights later Rivera stoppedGilberto Flores in two rounds to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, meskipun, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, merobohkanFrankie Randall (55-10-1) dalam 10th round to retain his North American Boxing Association (Juga) crown in his first defense.

Now promoted by legendary Don King, Rivera traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2003 to Germany, where few Americans were able to win. Rivera proved early that he meant business, dropping previously undefeatedMichel Trabant in the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA).  His reign, akan tetapi, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerLuis Collazo (24-1)

Rivera moved up one weight class for his next fight, showing the resiliency that was a staple during his career for his next fight, also at home, against WBA junior middleweight World championAlexandro Garcia (25-1).

In his next fight and first defense of his third world title, Rivera was stopped for the first time in his pro career, by new champTravis Simms (24-0), and then he was knocked out byDaniel Santos (24-0) in round eight of their WBA junior middleweight title eliminator.

Rivera retired in 2008 only to make a comeback in 2001, after which he retired again until returning for two fights in Worcester to complete his pro career with 50 perkelahian, the last coming at the age of 46.

“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, baik dalam dan keluar dari ring,"KataChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “He took the road less traveled for a world champion, and in doing so he showcased his toughness and perseverance that made him a great example for today’s USA Boxers.”

Rivera was a true working world champion. Few world champions also had full-time jobs during their title reigns. Rivera used vacation time, as well as personal and sick days, when he went to training camp for some of his major fights.

“I always had a good work ethic growing up,” he explained. “When I moved to Worcester at 16 tua tahun, I lived by myself: school, work, and then to the Boys & Girls Club to train. I kept the same work ethic I had at 19 when I turned pro. I became a father at 20, so providing for my family was essential. Although it was hard, I knew boxing wasn’t going to last forever, and I was lucky enough to find a good job working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Trial Courts. It made for long days when I was training, especially when I was fighting for or defending my world championships. In the end, meskipun, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”

Rivera. who was an Associate Court Officer for years and promoted last year to Assistant Chief Court Officer, is still involved in boxing. He and his oldest son, A.J. Rivera, own and operate a boxing promotional company, Rivera Promotions Entertainment, to give young fighters in his area opportunities to fight more often and at home. Jose occasionally drops by the Boys & Girls Club to visit his former coaches, Garcia andRocky Gonzalez, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendKendrick Ball’s gym, Camp Be Right, to give young fighters there a few tips and to keep in shape (not for another comeback).

Jose Antonio Rivera will be best known for his toughness and determination, which led him into a different life, including three world championships and a wonderful life he never would have enjoyed.

Ada lebih banyak disiplin pada para amatir daripada para profesional. Tahun terakhir sebelum Olimpiade, Saya meninggalkan unit rumah saya, sering bepergian untuk bertarung, dan tinggal di rumah pelatih saya alih-alih tinggal di barak.

Mercer membuat sejarah di 1988 Olimpiade di Seoul, Korea Selatan, ketika ia menjadi dan tetap menjadi satu-satunya juara kelas berat Olimpiade dari Amerika Serikat yang mengalahkan keempat lawannya:  Rudolf Gavenciak (Cekoslowakia - RSC3), Luigi Gaudiano(Italia - KO1), Arnond Vasnderlyde (Belanda - RSC2) danHyun-Man yang baik (Korea Selatan - KO1).

Saya menjadi seorang selebriti, nama rumah tangga, dan itu memungkinkan saya menghasilkan uang sebagai seorang profesional. Hal terbaik yang pernah terjadi pada saya adalah memenangkan medali emas Olimpiade, bahkan lebih dari memenangkan gelar dunia sebagai seorang profesional. Tidak ada apa-apanya dibandingkan dengan menjadi peraih medali emas Olimpiade. Saya mencapai impian saya. Saya tidak pernah bermimpi menjadi profesional, sampai setelah saya memenangkan medali emas.

“Sangat penting untuk memenangkan medali emas itu. Saya berjuang dengan hati saya; tidak ada uang yang terlibat, dirayakan begitu keras malam itu (setelah memenangkan medali emas) bahwa saya kehilangan medali saya selama beberapa jam. Mimpiku menjadi kenyataan, tangan saya gemetar, dan saya kehilangan medali saya. Malam yang indah!"

Mercer menawarkan anggota 2020 Sedikit nasihat bagi Tim Kualifikasi Olimpiade Tinju AS, "Terus berjuang, ikuti mimpimu dan ambil langkah terakhir itu. "

“Dan dia memberiku hitungan delapan tanpa alasan,Mercer menambahkan. “Saya mengalahkan orang itu dan dia tahu itu. Kami tetap berhubungan meskipun dia tidak bisa berbahasa Inggris. Dia memiliki teman yang menerjemahkan dan kami berhubungan di Facebook. Kami saling menyukai. ”

Jamel “Semper Fi” Herring Patriot, Olimpiade & now World Champ

USA Boxing Alumni: (L) Jamel Herring and his stablemate, Terence “Tunas” Crawford

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Juni 13, 2019) – Newly crowned World Boxing Organization (WBO) super featherweight champion Jamel “Semper Fi” Ikan haring has been a fighter practically all his life as a U.S. Marine and elite boxer.

The 33-year-old Herring (20-2, 10 Biaya), fighting out of Cincinnati, has come full circle since he started boxing at the age of 15. “I started because I was doing poorly in school, cut from the basketball team,” he explained on why he chose the Sweet Science. “I didn’t want to be in the streets. It was not my character, so I had to find something else to do. A friend introduced me to boxing and I stuck with it. I eventually got my grades back up and made high honor roll.”


Herring also developed into an Olympic boxer, mostly while he was serving nine years in the U.S. Marines, and even when he was deployed twice in Iraq. He compiled an 81-15 catatan amatir, including top honors at the 2011 & 2012 Armed Forces Championships, 2011 DIRI KITA. Olympic Trials and 2012 US Nationals gold medalist, along with a silver medal at the 2010 World Military Games. He was the first active duty U.S. Marine to qualify for the US Boxing Team since 1992, as well as the first U.S. Marine to compete in the 2012 Olimpiade.

“I boxed a little during my second deployment during free time,” he noted. “I came back from my second deployment toward the end of 2007 and began boxing for the Marine Corps in 2008. Most of my amateur career came under the Marine Corps. I learned a lot traveling with the Marine Corps. I got to see more styles and competed in national tournaments as a Marine. They also had the funding to send me.”

The highlight of his amateur career was representing his country at the 2012 Olympics in London as captain of Team USA. Although he lost (19-9) in the opening round to two-time Kazakh boxer Daniyar Yeleussinov, who won gold at the 2013 World Championships and later at the 2016 Olimpiade, the opening Olympic ceremonies was the most memorable moment of his entire amateur boxing career for a special reason.

“That was the anniversary of my daughter’s passing,” Herring said. “It let me know that no matter what, you can still accomplish anything, even through ups and downs.”

Other members of the 2012 USA Olympic Team Herring captained included present day world champions in the pro ranks such as Errol Spence, Jr., Claressa Shields dan Marcus Browne, Mantan juara dunia Rau’Shee Warren, and world title challengers Terrell Gausha, Michael Hunter dan Dominic Breazeale.


Herring remains close to USA Boxing, mengatakan: “USA Boxing helped me because of the relationships I created, many of which still remain today. I met other fighters from around the world that I kept good relationships with. It also helped me become more of the people-person I am today. Being team captain taught me patience, because I had to deal with a lot of personalities, I still use those traits today. And I’m still close to my Olympic teammates today.”

“Jamel is the perfect example of resiliency and persistence,” tersebut Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Director. “His hard work, pengorbanan, and inability to quit no matter what obstacles he encounters will continue to inspire the next generation of champions for many years. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank him for all that he has given to others, both in and out of the ring.”

Nothing has ever come easy for Jamel Herring, especially his remarkable turnaround after the tragic loss of his infant daughter, Ariyanah, which happened three years to the day prior to the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.

“My road wasn’t easy,” Herring added, “I had my ups and downs. I’m an Olympian, but nothing was ever handed to me. I had to fight for everything I’ve gotten. Ini adalah waktu saya!”

It certainly is, particularly after he defeated defending WBO super featherweight champion Masayuki Ito, ini Mei lalu 25, untuk menjadi juara dunia. Proof that good things do indeed happen to good people.

The Alumni Association thanks the support provided by many this weekend, particularly Micky Ward and Antonio Tarver, who continue to spread our mission.”

 

 

 

“The fact is that the vast majority of professional boxers who attend the Hall of Fame weekend at Canastota each year were at one time amateur boxers and knew each other well before they ever even turned professional,” added invaluable USABAA advisor Scully, who recruits boxers for group-sponsored events like this. “At some point in the conversations between boxers across the grounds, the topics frequently will eventually turn to their amateur days together.”

“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.”
