Historia do Evento

No deporte do boxeo afeccionado, Cuba consolidouse como unha potencia mundial. A pesar de só ter unha poboación aproximadamente igual á da Commonwealth de Pensilvania, Cuba gañou un incrible 67 Medallas olímpicas no boxeo, 34 dos cales son Ouro. Por todas as contas, Cuba é líder mundial no deporte.

En novembro de 2015, unha delegación diversa de líderes empresariais e comunitarios dirixida polo congresista Mike Doyle, O executivo do condado Rich Fitzgerald, e a concelleira Natalia Rudiak viaxaron a Cuba para invitar a Cuba a enfrontarse ao equipo de Pittsburgh. Hoxe, Xullo 30, 2016, aquí mesmo en Pittsburgh, es testemuña dun intercambio deportivo sen precedentes con Cuba. Mentres que Pittsburgh tivo unha longa relación co Concello de Matanzas, Cuba e ten participado en innumerables académicos, culturais, e intercambios humanitarios cos nosos amigos en Cuba, este intercambio deportivo será o primeiro. A nosa crenza é que se Pittsburgh quere ser o mellor do mundo, temos que aprender dos mellores do mundo. Ter a oportunidade de competir contra Cuba ofrece aos nosos atletas unha gran oportunidade de desafialos a converterse en mellores boxeadores mentres fan amigos e aprenden unha cultura diferente.

Esta competición será única no feito de que a diferenza dos intercambios atléticos do pasado entre USA e Cuba, este evento será un “amigable” partido do club. Cada un dos deportistas dos combates está igualado. O obxectivo da competición da noite é ofrecer aos mozos boxeadores de todos os niveis de habilidade a oportunidade de competir a nivel internacional e, finalmente, crecer como boxeadores e individuos.. Polo carácter histórico deste evento, esforzámonos por organizar o combate de boxeo dun xeito que reflicta a súa importancia. Matanzas é a Cidade das Pontes de Cuba, e Pittsburgh ten esa designación nos EUA. Pola necesidade de crear unha ponte simbólica entre os EE. e Cuba para superar a era da Guerra Fría, optamos por celebrar este partido na ponte Roberto Clemente, honrando ao mesmo tempo a un home que deu a súa vida construíndo a unidade entre as nacións.

Historia de Pittsburgh Matanzas
A Asociación de Cidades Irmás de Pittsburgh-Matanzas foi fundada para crear unha oportunidade para os nosos residentes, funcionarios públicos, e os líderes das organizacións para participar en "persoas para persoas" mutuamente beneficiosas’ intercambios cos veciños de Matanzas, Cuba. En febreiro de 20, 1998 tivo lugar en Matanzas un acordo de sinatura que designaba oficialmente a nosa relación de cidade irmá.

A misión da asociación de cidades irmás de Pittsburgh-Matanzas é ampliar a nosa relación de cidade irmá entre a cidade de Pittsburgh e a cidade de Matanzas., Cuba, fomentar o entendemento e a cooperación bilateral mediante intercambios mutuamente beneficiosos entre individuos, funcionarios do goberno, grupos comunitarios, organizacións, educativo, ambiental, culturais, deportes, negocio, e outras institucións. É importante que a xente común poida experimentar Cuba por si mesma e formar as súas propias opinións. Ao longo dos anos, o noso traballo ampliouse ata abarcar as relacións bilaterais dentro de toda a nación de Cuba.
O noso traballo céntrase nestes 4 obxectivos:
1. Levante o bloqueo ilegal e inmoral (Sancións económicas e comerciais extraterritoriales que afectan ao comercio mundial)
2. Levante a prohibición de viaxes (Permitir aos estadounidenses a mesma liberdade de viaxe que gozan todas as outras nacións democráticas.)
3. Construír Relacións Internacionais que respecten a independencia e a soberanía de Cuba
4. Poñer fin á ocupación ilegal e inmoral de Guantánamo (EEUU está en violación absoluta do Tratado)

A pesar de décadas de restricións de viaxe aos EE. residentes polo noso propio goberno que permanecen no lugar ata hoxe, así como as paralizantes sancións económicas contra Cuba, que foron condenados en todo o mundo como inmorais e ilegais segundo o dereito internacional, continuamos co noso traballo para participar en actividades pacíficas e construtivas co pobo e as institucións de Cuba.

Historia do Hibernian Celtic Athletic Fund

O Celtic Athletic Fund foi creado por membros da Ancient Order of Hibernians para axudar a que os deportes sexan accesibles para os mozos de Pittsburgh de todas as nacionalidades de baixos ingresos a través de “Amizade, Unidade, e a Caridade cristiá”.
Boxing on the Bridge é unha creación da organización.

Michael Diven, un antigo concelleiro de Pittsburgh e ex representante do estado, é membro do Hibernian Celtic Athletic Fund e da Pittsburgh Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership. Durante os últimos tres anos en St. Día de San Patricio, o fondo patrocinou un intercambio con boxeadores irlandeses chamado Donnybrook organizado polo Sr. Viño.

A Constitución cubana garante “acceso ao estudo, cultura e deportes.” Pero nos EE.UU., deportes xuvenís, así como a arte e a música, están entre os primeiros en ser recortados cando o financiamento do distrito escolar se reduce. “Boxeo na ponte” continúa o traballo do fondo para apoiar as iniciativas deportivas para a mocidade de Pittsburgh e baséase en décadas de traballo da Asociación de Cidades Irmás de Pittsburgh-Matanzas

Para Pittsburgh, será unha oportunidade única para que os nosos boxeadores xuvenís afeccionados aprendan dos mellores boxeadores do mundo. E pola nosa nación, axudará a construír pontes con Cuba e o apoio público á acción do Congreso para acabar finalmente cos EE. económico, bloqueo comercial e financeiro de Cuba, que continúa, a pesar da visita en marzo do presidente Obama á illa.

A big ticket seller who had a large group of supporters on hand, Tareh took his time in the early going. Aguirre, a pressure fighter, looked to close the gap and connect with a hard shot upstairs.

The six round co-featured bout marked the return of highly touted featherweight Jose “Lil Pacquiao” Resendez of Bradenton, FL. Coming off a year and a half layoff, Resendez met once-beaten Raul Chirino of Miami. A spitting image of a right handed Manny Pacquiao physically and stylistically, Resendez went to work from the opening bell. Resendez dominated the action with blazing fast combinations to the body and head before dropping Chirino towards the end of the first.
Resendez went back to work in the second and hurt his foe again but the game Chirino hung in tough and landed some counter shots against the ultra-aggressive Resendez. Smelling the blood from the damaged he’d done in the prior two rounds, Resendez continued to aggressively attack Chirino with hard combinations. Resendez was credited with his second knockdown of the evening when the referee ruled the ropes kept Chirino up.

Alvarez ups his professional ledger to 9-0 con 5 knockouts while Dawson’s record slips to 2-2-4.
In what was without a doubt the fight of the night on an evening full of action, junior lightweight Michael “Choko Guillen scored a dramatic last minute stoppage of Rafael “Junito” Rivera. Guillen immediately came at Rivera winging aggressive shots to the body and head. Rivera, who recognized his opponent left himself open during the relentless attack, scored a flash knockdown with a counter left hook. Undeterred, Guillen continued to swarm Rivera at a frenetic pace in the second and third while the latter found success tagging his wide open opponent with crisp counter shots.
With the crowd on their feet in the fourth and final round, Guillen cornered Rivera and dropped him with a hard shot to the body. Rivera immediately vomited and was counted out at 2:29.
Guillen, of Edgewater, FL, é agora 2-0 con 1 suprimir. Tampa’s Rivera is 1-2 (1 KO).
Highly touted Cuban junior welterweight Yordan Frometa went the distance for just the second time as a pro against awkward Farkhad “Crazy Russian” Sharipov. Frometa, who now calls Miami home, was the busier fighter and showed power in both hands. Sharipov however forced him to work from bell to bell by punching from different angles while regularly switching between orthodox and southpaw.
Correas foron 59-55 e 60-54 dúas veces. Frometa’s record is now 8-0 (6 KO). Sharipov, of Kissimmee, FL by way of Kyrgyzstan, é 4-8 con 1 suprimir.

Kevin Deber Xestión do Deporte asina Invicto cubano-pesado Luís García

(L-R – Kevin Deber, Luís García e Patrick Brown)
Peekskill, N.I.. (Decembro 1, 2015) – Kevin Deber Xestión do Deporte anunciou a sinatura invicto dos medio-pesados ​​perspectiva cubana Luís “O León” Garcia para un contrato exclusivo de xestión.
Case oito anos,Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos) desertou de Cuba a México co compañeiro boxer Alexei Acosta. Garcia (12-0, 9 Kos), que se estableceu en Cork, Irlanda, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, Nova York.
“Foi un cambio maior cando me mudei para a Irlanda do que hai seis semanas, cando me mudei para aquí,” the 28-year-old Garcia explained. “It was a lot harder in Ireland because I didn’t speak a word of English. I learned English from the street, watching TV and reading. It’s not a big change for me to move around because I traveled all over the world when I was a member of the Cuban National Team.
García non loitou en case catro anos debido a cuestións xestionar anteriores, pero o seu retorno é programado este sábado noite, Decembro 5, against an opponent to be determined in a six-round bout at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. His last fight was a win by eight-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated (12-0) Alexander Johnson decembro 30, 2011 en Cabazon, California.
“Non foi miña decisión de non loitar nos últimos catro anos,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, pelexaron moi, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 anos. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.
“América me ofrece unha boa oportunidade, mellor que a Inglaterra ou Irlanda, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5th and taking things step by step. I’m not going to rush. There are a lot of great fighters in the light heavyweight division and I hope to be in the mix next year.
Dúas loitas de García Antes da súa última contra Johnson foron impresionantes 2010 nocautes técnicos do ex-campión mundial Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) e Jorge Rodríguez Olivera (19-1), respectivamente, nas segunda e sexta rodadas.
“Deixei de boxeo con un gusto malo na miña boca, pero eu estaba mirando para volver ao boxeo,” dito Kevin Deber, que co-xestiona Garcia con Patrick Brown. “I knew him from Ireland and I always wanted to manage this kid. He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.
I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. Creo sinceramente que, xa que ten algunhas boas loitas no seu currículo, vai ser un contedor superior na división dos medio-pesados. Luís García é o mellor loitador que eu xa traballei.”
Garcia, un medalhista de ouro do Campionato Mundial Júnior, desertou porque estaba desilusionado tras ser negado un lugar no 2008 Cuban Equipo Olímpica, a pesar del derrota eventual medalhista de prata olímpico Emelio Correa, JR. in the Cuban Olympic Qualifier. Correa is the son of 1972 Campión olímpico Emelio Correa, Sr., que aínda estaba implicado no boxeo afeccionado cubano cando o seu fillo foi seleccionado sobre García para representar Cuba en 2008 Xogos Olímpicos. Correa lost in the championship final to James Degale, o británico que actualmente é a Federación Internacional de Boxeo (IBF) campión de super-medios.
Non é un boxeador cubano típico defensa-primeiro, García é coñecido como un perforado nítido que moitos insiders cría tiña máis cabeza que calquera boxeadores cubanos que desertaron xa, outside of Guillermo Rigondeaux e Yuriorkis Gamboun, que ambos se fan campións mundiais en tempo múltiple como profesionais.
García traballa fóra do Be First Boxeo en Peekskill e Westchester Boxing Club en White Plains (Nova York), onde é adestrado por Entalhe “Knuckles” Delury eo seu asistente, o ex desafiante ao título mundial Larry Barnes (44-3, 17 Kos). A former No. 1 clasificado contedor welterweight no mundo, Barnes’ só tres derrotas como profesional foron campións do mundo Felix “Perico” Trinidad, Saul Mamby e Luis Ramón “Yuri Boy” Escola.
“El é un gran rapaz, moi intelixente e respectuosa,” Delury comentou. “Hai un pouco de ferruxe de estar fóra de catro anos, pero Luís vive un bo, healthy lifestyle and he hasn’t suffered any damage in the ring. El é 28, educado, and a true gentleman. It’s been a pleasure working with him. Luis is a gifted boxer. He’s extremely exciting to watch and has a perfect blend of offense and defense.
