USA Boxing Alumni Association, Třída 2018 Branec
(L-R) – The great Tommy Hearns & the late Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Listopad 19, 2018) – Pozdní Emanuel Steward, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 uvedení do síně slávy USA Alumni Association Alumni Association.

 

 

 

Druhý ročník Síně slávy USA Boxing Alumni Association, konané ve spojení s 2018 Elitní a mládežnické mistrovství USA v boxu a Junior a Prep Open, Prosinec 2-8, se bude konat v prosinci 7, v hotelu Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) v Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 ve věku ze dne 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.

 

 

 

Ve věku 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Jako amatérský boxer, he compiled a 94-3 záznam, zvýrazněn výkonem zlatou medaili na- 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.

 

 

 

V 1971, Steward became a part-time trainer at Kronk Gym, where he eventually guided many of the country’s top amateur boxers. Kronk Gym later became a property of Steward’s and he developed it into one of the most successful and famous boxing gyms in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward also served as National Director of Coaching for USA Boxing in the early 2000’s.

 

 

 

Throughout his incredible career, Steward reportedly trained 41 mistři světa, možná, the most noteworthy were Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis a Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, a Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

The last world champion Manny trained was Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.

 

 

 

“Emanuel would always say, průchodky prodávat!” Stevenson fondly remembered. “He was also the first to tell me, ‘You will be a superstar and a world champion. Just make sure you don’t listen to people with bad intentions because you’ve got natural talent.’ He believed in me even if some people did not think I would ever become a world champion.”

 

 

 

“Emanuel Steward impacted the lives of so many who walked through the doors of Kronk Gym,” řekl Chris Cugliari, Výkonný ředitel Asociace absolventů USA boxu. “While he’s most recognized for his achievement at the professional level, his impact was significant in the amateurs. Manny serves as a model coach for USA Boxing today, and his impact will be felt for a long time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association overwhelmingly supports his induction and looks forward to honoring him as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.”

I would notice him in the crowd. I would ball him out and then we did the same thing the following year.

 

 

 

“I also used to see him at big fights and he would always make me feel special by saying my company saved boxing in the seventies and eighties by providing safe, well-made, fair priced boxing equipment for the sport. No one else ever gave me that recognition. He was humble and not a blowhard, my kind of guy.”

Boxing Fans Help Salita Promotions Donate Over 3000 Meals to Forgotten Harvest
Promoter Dmitriy Salita proudly announces his latest installment of “Detroit Brawl,” Sobota night at the Masonic Temple, was a tremendous success, helping him donate over 3000 meals to Forgotten Harvest, one of the nation’s largest food rescue organizations.
In the night’s main event, WBO #5, IBF #5, a WBC #7 and current NABF heavyweight champion, Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (28-0, 19 KO), stayed unbeaten and showed off some fast, powerful fists, as he stopped Miami’s Josh “Dempsey” Gormley at 1:42 ze třetího kola.
V jiné akce, super lightweight Girorgi Gelashvili (5-0, 3 KO) survived an early knockdown to stop Eric Hall (8-10-1, 4 KO) of Durand, Michigan, ve čtyřech kolech; cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (8-0, 4 KO) of Detroit dropped Eric George (4-12) of Niagara Falls in the first round, but ended up having to settle for a unanimous six-round decision victory; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (4-0-1, 3 KO) of Royal Oak, Michigan, took a four-round unanimous decision over Jose Elizondo (1-1) San Antonio, Texas; welterweight Sedar Hudayberdiyev (3-0, 2 KO) of Turkmenistan won an entertaining four-round unanimous decision over formerly undefeated Steven Andrade (3-1, 2 KO) of Atlanta Georgia; Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (2-0, 2 KO) was impressive in stopping Sergio Aguliar (0-4) of Miami Beach in three rounds; and lastly, Dearborn welterweight Gheith “Southpaw Prince” Karim made his pro debut a successful one by stopping Dean Walsh, Jr., v prvním kole.
Slovo, who donated a portion of every ticket sold to Forgotten Harvest, says the event’s success went a lot further than the boxing ring that night.
“When we started these events, the goal was not only to bring a regular professional boxing program back to Detroit, but also to give back to this wonderful city and I’m happy to say we’re doing it,” Said Word. “I couldn’t be more proud. Thank you to the fans who came out that night and to my wonderful sponsor, Thomas Magee’s. Thank you to my entire team and to all the fighters for their brave efforts. Thank you to the team at the Masonic and to all the big-name Detroit fighters who showed up in support of the event. We will be doing it again soon.”

HEAVYWEIGHT UPSET BREWING IN DETROIT?

Gormley Confident that Undefeated Ruiz Will Taste Defeat at ‘Detroit Brawl’ na Sobota, Červenec 16

, at Masonic Temple

Having already experienced being a world-rated TV-level fighter under tremendous pressure to win every fight impressively, Miami-based slugger Josh “Dempsey” Gormley says he much prefers the lowered expectations of being considered the “protivník” since coming back to boxing.
“There’s a lot of pressure on you as the A-side guy,” explained Gormley. “As an opponent, I’m supposed to lose, so when I win it’ll be that much more dramatic.”
Gormley (22-4, 21 KO) will face WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 KO) v non-titulový boj tuto sobotu v Detroitu. The two bruising heavyweights will meet in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ latest “Detroit Brawl” event at the Masonic Temple.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, vstupenky “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, První řada $93, Rezervováno $63 a $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
Gormley says he isn’t prepared to go along with the expected outcome for a 41-year-old fighter taking on a top contender in just his third fight since returning from a 16-year retirement. He’s coming to Detroit to win.
“Je to pro mě perfektní,” he said of Ruiz. “I feel like I’m fighting the weakest guy in the top 10. He doesn’t punch hard and I won’t have to look for him. He comes forward a lot and he’s not Floyd Mayweather. I don’t think he can handle my power. Now that I’m older, I hit harder than ever and I’m in great shape. I doubt it’ll last the distance. I’ll get him out of there in about five rounds. Even if he does, I’m in great shape to beat him over the distance.”
Gormley, reportedly the grandson of all-time-great heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, Profesionálem v 1992 and flirted with world-contender status before suffering a pair of tough losses and retiring in 1999. Nicméně, box, like any addiction, eventually lured him back.
“I just want to take opportunities and see what I can do,” řekl. “Vyhrát nebo prohrát, I’m just carrying on my legacy and seeing what I can still do. My goal is to be champ of the world. But I’m not chasing that dream lie I used to. A long time ago I chased the heavyweight championship dream so hard that every loss was devastating. Nyní, I want to take the opportunities as they come and win some of them. And hey, when I beat this guy, I’m back in the top 10!”
Scheduled in support of the main event that night will be Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 KO) of Brooklyn via Georgia facing comebacking veteran Eric Hall (8-9-1, 4 KO) of Durand, Michigan in a super lightweight six-rounder.
Také, Serdar Hudayberdiyev (2-0, 2 KO) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistán, will face fellow undefeated fighter Steven Andrade (3-0, 2 KO) Atlanta, Georgia in a welterweight four-rounder.
The opponent for the long-awaited pro debut of Dearborn, Michigan’s “Southpaw Prince” Gheith Karim, a three-time national amateur champion, will be two-fight welterweight scrapper Dean Walsh Jr. of Monroe, Michigan.
Detroit prospect Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 KO) is scheduled for a six-round cruiserweight match-up against Niagara Falls, New York’s Eric George (4-11).
Promising Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (1-0, 1 KO), a recent Salita Promotions signee, will take on Sergio Aguilar (0-3) of Miami Beach, Florida, ve čtyřech kole záchvatu a; super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 KO) of Royal Oak, Michigan, will face also-unbeaten Jose Elizondo (1-0) San Antonio, Texas; and so-far perfect undefeated cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 KO) of Detroit will look to keep his KO streak intact against Karinn Davis (2-6, 2 KO) Jackson, Michigan.
Detroit middleweight Dorell Van Horn Jr. (9-0, 6 KO) will face Rapid City, South Dakota’s Ryan Soft (3-5-1, 1 KO) in a six-rounder.

Zanechat komentář
HEAVYWEIGHT SLUGFEST IN MOTOWN:
An intriguing heavyweight showdown will go down on Sobota, Červenec 16, as WBO #5-, IBF #5-, and WBC #7-rated and current NABF heavyweight champion Andy “The Destroyer from Mexicali” Ruiz (27-0, 18 KO) has agreed to face comebacking KO artist Joshua “Josh Dempsey” Gormley (22-4, 21 KO) in his next ring appearance.
Sponsored by Thomas Magee’s Sporting House Whiskey Bar, vstupenky “Detroit Brawl” will be priced at VIP $123, Box Seats $100, První řada $93, Rezervováno $63 a $38, and Balcony $28, and are available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Tickmaster.com.
26-letý Ruiz, from Mexicali, Baja California, Mexiko, will face the determined and upset-minded 41-year-old Gormley, from Torrance in a non-title fight in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ další “Detroit Brawl” installment at the Masonic Temple in Downtown Detroit.
Ruiz has made four successful defenses of his NABF Championship. Před tím, he held the WBO Inter-Continental Heavyweight Championship and made an additional three successful defenses before relinquishing. In his last in-ring appearance, he stopped former world title challenger Ray Austin in the fourth round on Květen 14 in Studio City, Kalifornie.
Gormley, who bills himself as a distant relative of former champ Jack Dempsey, reportedly trains with Dino Spencer and Luis “Chiro” Perez at the 5th St. Gym in Miami, Florida. He is on a three-fight KO streak since coming back from a 16-year layoff in late 2015. Despite having had no amateur boxing career, Dempsey fought his way to up-and-comer status in the late 90s and was a fan favorite. He also worked with former champion Lennox Lewis as a sparring partner. Gormley is a former California State Wrestling Champion and MMA fighter and the older brother of UFC fighter Chase Gormley.
Giving the “Detroit Brawl” crowd its usual international flavor will be welterweights Giorgi Gelashvili (4-0, 2 KO) Brooklyn via Georgia and Serdar Hadurbadyev (2-0, 2 KO) of Turkmenabat, Turkmenistan in separate six-round bouts.
Také, making his long-awaited four-round pro debut that night will be “Southpaw Prince” Gheith Karim, a three-time national amateur champion from Dearborn, Michigan. A product of the Kronk Gym, Karim was being touted as a future star by legendary Kronk founder Emanuel Steward since the age of 11. He will compete as a junior middleweight.
Also scheduled for action that night are crowd-favorite Detroit prospects including cruiserweight Demetrius Banks (7-0, 4 KO) in a six-rounder; middleweight Dorell Van Horn Jr (9-0, 6 KO) in a six-rounder; as well as promising Detroit bantamweight Jarico O’Quinn (1-0, 1 KO); super bantamweight Zach Shamoun (3-0-1, 3 KO) of Bloomfield Hills Michigan; and cruiserweight Clarence Dubose (3-0, 3 KO) of Eastpointe, Michigan, in separate four-rounders.

VERONA, New York. (Duben 15, 2016) – Undefeated bantamweight prospects Nikolay Potapov a Stephon Young fought to a majority draw in theShoBox: Nová generace main event Pátek on SHOWTIME from Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, New York.

 

The bout was scored 96-94 Potapov and 95-95 dvakrát.

 

Potapov and Young were facing their toughest opponents in each other. Potapov (14-0-1, 6 KO) controlled the pace early with his jab and was the more active fighter, throwing nearly double the punches that Young threw. Young picked up steam and gained confidence in the middle rounds and was at his best when he pressed the action and let his hands go. But the Russian Potapov, who had gone at least 10 rounds in his last six fights, was clearly more comfortable as the fight progressed.

 

After slowing in the seventh and eighth, Mladý (14-0-3, 6 KO) found another gear in an impressive ninth, winning the penultimate round on all the judges’ scorecards. Ale, even after urgent instructions from his corner, Young couldn’t carry the momentum into the 10th and lost the final round on all three scorecards.

 

“I am very unhappy with the decision. For every time he hit me, I hit him twice,” said Potapov, kdo hodil 315 jabs compared to just 113 for Young. “I was the much busier fighter. I don’t know what fight the judges were watching. At the very most I lost four rounds.

 

“I’ve never had a draw before. I feel cheated from a win. I was very happy to be fighting in America but I now feel cheated.”

 

Po boji, St. Louis native Young was disappointed but knew that he needed to throw more punches.

 

“I feel like it was a good fight, but I should have got the decision,” Young said. “I hurt him every time I hit him. I let him be busier than me, but as far as the contact, I feel like I landed the more effective punches. That was my strategy.

 

“I should have come on a bit sooner. That was my plan, but I got a little relaxed in the fight. I came on in the ninth round when my coach told me to get him out of there.

 

“I most definitely want a rematch. I would like to do that again.”

Facing his toughest opponent to date, Menard floored (31-1, 23 KO) Bernardo for the first time in his career with a series of rights near the end of the second round. The Dominican Bernardo beat the count and finished the round, ale neměl žádnou odpověď po moci Menardově. Less than one minute into third, Menard spojen s obrovským právem, knocking Bernardo (21-1, 15 KO) out before he even hit the canvas.

 

“I made a statement dnes večer. Not many people knew who I was going into this, but they know me now,“Řekl Menard, who landed nearly 50 procent svých energetických střel. “My speed, power and footwork were the difference.

 

“I said a prayer for him in the middle of the ring that he goes back to his family healthy.”

 

Bernardo, who was removed from the ring on a stretcher as a precautionary measure, was taken to nearby Oneida Healthcare where he was awake and responsive.

 

V úvodním zápasu na televizní vysílání, undefeated cruiserweightConstantin Bejenaru rukou Alexey Zubov the first loss of his career in a convincing eight-round unanimous decision scored 77-74, 78-73 dvakrát.

 

Save for a flash seventh round knockdown, Bejenaru (11-0, 4 KO) pod kontrolou od začátku. The Moldova native overcame a four-inch height disadvantage, attacking from different angles and controlling the exchanges on the inside and outside. Zubov (10-1, 6 KO) never got into rhythm and failed to capitalize on his reach advantage against the active and athletic southpaw.

 

“He was a good classical boxer, but he’s too straight up and he couldn’t adjust,” Bejenaru said. “It wasn’t as easy as it looked to beat him. I adjusted my style to do that because I knew it would make him hesitate. I knew if I just constantly attacked him he wouldn’t know what to do.”

 

Zubov and Bernardo are now the 146th a 147th boxers to suffer their first pro loss on the prospect developmental series.

BROOKLYN, NY (Duben 12, 2016) – As a kid growing up in Magnitogorsk, Rusko,Cruiserweight Alexey Zubov heard stories about the fabled Kronk Gym and the late legendary trainer Emanuel Steward, but never thought he’d have a chance to join the team. But then one day, the former amateur champion was asked to come to Detroit to spar with Kronk’s Johnathon Banks … and the rest is history.
To Pátek, Duben 15, the undefeated Zubov (10-0, 6 KO) will face Mandilesti, Moldova’s Constantin Bejenaru (10-0, 4 KO, WSB: 0-1-1) in the eight-round opener of an internationally televised ShoBox: Nová generace live on SHOWTME (10 p.m. A/PT, zpoždění na západním pobřeží) na Turning kamene Resort Casino ve Veroně, New York.

V co-hlavní události, Eudy Bernardo (21-0, 15 KO) of the Dominican Republic faces Zedník “Rock Hard Mighty” Menard (30-1-0, 22 KO), of Rayne, Louisiana, v osmikolové bitvě.

“I’ve been in Detroit for the last two months and I am so happy; I want to stay here, train here and live here,” said Zubov. “Every Russian fighter knows about Kronk Gym and Emanuel Steward.”
Zubov is currently winding down camp with his trainer and Steward’s nephew Javan “Cukr” Hill at the resurgent Kronk Gym. “I like Javan’s style,” said Zubov, “and I’ve learned so much about hand speed and footwork and about using intelligence in the ring – how you need to think when you’re in a fight.”
“Alexey is able to learn a lot and absorb boxing knowledge easily,” said Hill. “He barely speaks English and yet he soaks it in. Je to úžasné. I brought him in to spar with Banks and when we were training, Alexey just sat on the side and watched. Později, he was sparring with Johnathon and I told him to stop. I said ‘listen here. I’m training Jonathon Banks and you’re doing everything I told him to do. What’s wrong with you?’ Then I laughed and said ‘I like that. Keep watching. I’ll teach you everything you want to know.’ “
Hill says this camp with Zubov was a transition for the fighter. “We are moving into the championship level where you train for a specific fighter. A lot of it is strategy and planning. The only thing I worry about is him being too excited. He’s very high-strung and wants to prove things. I have to control him and keep him from getting over-excited. That’s what we’ve been working on. He gets antsy when he’s excited.”
“Training was prefect. Jsem 100 procent ready,” said Zubov. “I know Bejenaru is a southpaw and he is a short guy with a good record. It’s my first time on SHOWTIME and I am so happy to be showing the world what I can do.”
