فئة 2019



MARK BRELAND

علامة Breland: “I enjoy boxing, it’s a lot of fun. I’m glad to be here because I’ve seen a lot of fighters I grew up with in the amateurs. I enjoy boxing because it kept me off the streets. I wasn’t a street guy., My father would have beaten me up if I had gotten into trouble in the streets. Boxing kept me off the streets, kept me in the gym. I guess I was good at it. I had a fight with a bully when I was 14 and I beat him up. I went to the gym the same day and my coach asked me what happened. My knuckles were shredded with blood. I told him I had a fight in the street. He said you can’t fight in the street. Then I realized boxing and street fighting are two different things.

شيلي فينكل (his manager), when he came into my life, changed a lot of things. Things changed a lot. I focused more on boxing, focused on the Olympic Games, and won championships. Every tournament I went into, فزت, but it was a lot of fun. I wanted to inspire youths. I hope I can inspire some amateurs coming up. To keep going, stay off the streets, and do something that can change your life in a good way., Eddie Futch for life!”



JOE FRAZIER

مارفيس فرايزر(Joe’s son, في الصورة): “It is so good today to speak about my father, what he meant to me, and Joe Frazier always said to me, ‘There’s no right way to do wrong, no wrong way to do right.’ هو قال, if you don’t do right, you’re going to smell this, putting his left fist right to my nose. When it was time for me to do bad, it wasn’t me, wasn’t Marvis Frazier. هكذا, اليوم, I’m still smelling it even if he’s not here.

“I just love to talk boxing. As an amateur I was 46-1 and then when I turned pro, I beat the guy who had knocked me out. I love my father. He was a good guy and a champion. I know everybody know Muhammad Ali and I know everybody know ‘Smokin’ Joe Frazier.”



AL MITCHELL

آل ميتشل: “I got rid of anybody over 16 who didn’t want to go to school. I’ve been doing this the longest time and I want to thank the coaches. I had three or four who didn’t care about boxing, but they wanted their kids to get an education. Izzy Acosta is one. I got a perfect record at Marquette High, they’ve all graduated. I have four kids with master’s degrees, لدي 14 who have degrees, and four guys who are policemen and no way they should be policemen. أنا المباركة.

“Old coaches would tell one you’re only as good as your memories. It’s crazy with kids 14, 14, 15. I had a kid named Vernon Forrest, a four-time world champion., It’s not just about boxing. It’s getting an education and after ten years they have a good life. I want to thank you all for putting me in the Hall of Fame.”




Michael Rodgers (Ray’s son): “أولا, I want to apologize for my father for not being here. He hurt his back over the weekend working a boxing match, believe it or not, and he apologizes for not being here.

“I want to thank USA Boxing and the Alumni Association for recognizing my father for this award. And when he heard about this, he said he didn’t do any of these things during the 72 years he’s been in the sport for awards. He just did what he did for the love this sport and he did what needed to be done.”

USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION



مايك مكاتي, مدير تنفيذي, الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية للملاكمة (في الصورة): “On behalf of the Board of Directors, President Tyson Lee, I can only say thank you, شكرا, and thank you. هذه الليلة, is a culmination of work between our members, our alumni association, but I have to recognize a couple of people. This great event wouldn’t be done without Chris Cugliari, Al Valenti and Nicole Anderson, our Alumni Association Coordinator.

“I have the honor of talking about boxing and obviously we have passion. When Marvis Frazier said this was a brotherhood, a sisterhood, and none of us, quite frankly, who’ve stepped in the ring – I include myself in that – we’re not right. Takes a special person to climb in the ropes. You all can give yourselves a hand for not being right.

“USA Boxing is proud of our history, but more proud of our future, and I can tell you the young men and women battling at the elite levels, we started at 104 and that will be taken down to 13 by Sunday evening. لكن, أكثر أهمية, we’re going to be breeding the next generation of champions, because this is closing the chapter of 2020, but starting the chapter of 2024, and ultimately, when the Olympic Games comeback here in 2028. This is a special time.”



كريس tofflemire, مدير تنفيذي, رابطة خريجي الملاكمة USA: “Three years ago a group of us sat around a table in Kansas City at the National Championships and this idea was hatched: جون براون, في فالنتي, جون سكالي, Christy Halbert, Mike McAtee and a few others. هكذا, it’s something I’m very proud of and an organization I’m proud to lead with the support of all of you.

“A quick update of the Alumni Association, we’re at about 1200 members right now and this is our third year. We had events across the country the past year, honoring Micky Ward and Vinny Pazianza in the New England area. We gathered in Chicago. We honored Izzy Acosta at the Junior Olympics in Wisconsin, as well as Buster Douglas and coach Mike Stafford at the Ohio Legends celebration, and here we are today honoring our third Hall of Fame class. We’ve come a long way. Our theme in 2020 is two missions: أولا, we want to take this down to the grassroots level, second is supporting our athletes and their families as they travel to the 2020 Olympic Games.”



في فالنتي, Special Projects Consultant for USA Boxing: “USA Boxing is the one fundamental difference that makes a difference in a young person’s life. The path to self-confidence, the path to self-respect, انضباط, فوز, and how to accept defeat all comes through amateur boxing.

“هذه الليلة, the story will be told. هذه الليلة, we will take you on a path, of amateur boxing in the United States that rivals no other nation. Gold medalists, silver medalists, المدربين, مسؤولون, الأطباء…they’re all here. It’s like Woodstock for boxing; everybody’s here!”



آل بيرنشتاين, Master of Ceremonies: “I’m delighted to be back here for my third year at USA Boxing’s Alumni Association Hall of Fame. I hosted a lot of events, MC’d a lot of events, and this is the final event because it’s in the end of December. It’s definitely my favorite.”

Sen. John McCain to be honored

فئة من 2019 ceremonyيوم الجمعة at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لويزيانا

COLORADO SPRINGS, حضن. (ديسمبر 11, 2019) -Senator John McCain will be posthumously presented a Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport this Friday night at a special ceremony during the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لويزيانا.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the ongoing 2020 الامريكى. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 National Championships at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, ديسمبر. 15, في فندق Golden Nugget & كازينو. Hall of Fame broadcasterآل بيرنشتاين from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George Foreman, علامة Brelandو“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesآل ميتشل وRay Rodgers.

The late Sen. McCain boxed at the U.S. Naval Academy, where the 5’ 7” lightweight competed three years as a fearless boxer who reportedly always came forward, never reversing gears. In his final year, he managed the battalion boxing team to a brigade championship.

“Our family believes our father would accept this award graciously as a very high honor,” daughterMegan McCain said on behalf of the McCain family. “The courage, character and action needed to step into the ring is something he felt very strongly about.

“He learned many life lessons through boxing, including the value of fitness, انضباط, individual performance training and operating as part of a team. Boxers run up against opposition they have no idea how to attack or defend against, yet they figure it out and learn about themselves, as well as develop endurance during the process.”

“Senator McCain was a true ally to the sport, having personally understood the courage and risk-taking required from those who enter the ring,"وقالChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. Throughout his career in politics, USA Boxing communicated with his office numerous times as part of a collaborative effort to safeguard the future of Olympic style, الملاكمة للهواة, and Senator McCain never hesitated to offer to do more for our athletes. For this and many other reasons, the USA Boxing Alumni Association looks forward to honoring his legacy this weekend.”

فئة من 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لويزيانا

COLORADO SPRINGS, حضن. (ديسمبر 3, 2019) – Arguably the greatest American amateur boxer of all-time, علامة Breland will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame on Friday night, ديسمبر 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لويزيانا.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 الامريكى. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 البطولات الوطنية, ديسمبر. 7-15, في مركز ليك تشارلز سيفيك. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, ديسمبر. 15, في فندق Golden Nugget & كازينو. Hall of Fame broadcasterآل بيرنشتاين from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists, “Big” George Foremanو “Smokin’” Joe Frazier, as well as legendary coachesآل ميتشل وRay Rodgers. 

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“I’m very happy to be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Breland said. “It really means a lot, especially going in this year with Foreman and Frazier. I guess it proves I’ve done a lot in boxing. I’m happy to be going in. I had a lot of fun in USA Boxing. To be going into the same Hall of Fame withإيفاندر (هوليفيلد) (محمد) هل, رئيس العمال, Frazier…champs like that, it’s something for me to be with them.”

Breland, ومن المفارقات, first got into boxing at the age of eight, due to him being brought to his first boxing match, Frazier-Ali I, at Madison Square Garden. “We were up in the top seats,” the Brooklyn-born and raised Breland remembered like it was yesterday. “The crowd, the atmosphere…all I could think of was, رائع!  I didn’t realize until I got older that there were so many stars there watching Ali and Frazier, because they were all at ringside.

“The next day I went to a gym. I was really skinny, small, but I came back the next day. I enjoyed working out and fell in love with boxing. I wanted to box in big tournaments. This is what I wanted to do, but I had hid boxing from my parents. They knew I had I played football, but that was okay with them, because unlike in boxing, we had a helmet. I won at the Junior Olympics and it was in the papers. I saw it and thought my mother was going to kill me. My mother asked me why I hadn’t told her, so I invited her to watch me fight in the Golden Gloves. She was in one of the front rows, but afterwards when I asked her what she thought when I knocked out my opponent, she said she didn’t see it because she had closed her eyes.”

Breland went on to become a five-time New York Golden Gloves champion with a 21-0 سجل, بما فيه 19 بالضربة القاضية, 14 coming in the opening round. In 1982, Breland captured a gold medal at the prestigious World Championships in Munich, ألمانيا, after which he was named the No. 1 welterweight in the world by AIBA. He was also selected as Boxer of the Year (1982) by USAABF.

في 1984 مهرجان المباريات الأولمبية, held in Los Angeles, Breland fought his way to a gold medal,

along with eight of his American teammates: Paul Gonzalez, Steve McCrory, Meldrick تايلور, برنل ويتيكر, Jerry Page,فرانك تيت, Henry Tillman وTyrell Biggs.

Breland, who completed his amateur career with an amazing 110-1 (73 كوس) سجل, appeared to be cooler than the other side of the pillow on a hot, steamy night. No real celebrations after he won gold, to the contrary, Mark was emotionless, the same as he still is today as a trainer of champions.

“I’ve always been really laid back,” he explained. “I just remember raising my hands. At an Olympic press conference, I was asked if I was happy, and I just said I was glad it was over. I guess I didn’t seem excited. I was happy but calm. It’s the same way now (as a trainer); it’s just me. I’m happy to win and happy to be doing what I do.”

“Mark’s dominance over his competition throughout his USA Boxing career cements him as a legend,” commentedChris Cugliari, المدير التنفيذي لرابطة خريجي الملاكمة بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. “His ring intelligence, commitment to his craft, and ability to fight at any pace against any style makes him a tremendous example for today’s group of amateur champions. It has been a long time coming, but the Alumni Association looks forward to reflecting on his accomplishments and honoring Mark in Louisiana.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 الميدالية الذهبية الاولمبيةأندرو ماينارد, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 Olympic gold medalist Frank تيتوشقيقهتوماس, 1972 أولمبيTim Dement, 2002 الوطني بطل قفازات الذهبيJaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic QualifierJackie Beard, 1981 دورة الالعاب الاولمبية للناشئينGlen Modicue, four-time National championإيريك كيلي, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier championجون سكالي, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton وStephensbrothers –Donald, أنتوني وجيري.

Breland made his much-anticipated pro debut November 15, 1984, at the famed Madison Square Garden, defeating Dwight Williams by way of a six-round unanimous decision. During his illustrious pro career (1984-1997), Breland compiled a sterling 35-3-1 (35 كوس) record and he was a two-time World welterweight champion.

The 56-year-old Breland, who once trained the late, جميل روعة 1992 الأولمبي الأمريكيVernon Forrest, currently trains another great USA Boxing alumni and 2008 الميدالية البرونزية الاولمبية, ديونتاري وايلدر, the reigning World Boxing Council heavyweight champion.

“Once I started boxing in the amateurs,” Breland concluded, “I started progressing. I learned a lot from other amateurs like different styles. Boxers from New York/New Jersey had different styles than boxers from Georgia/Florida, and fighting Cubans was completely different. I was beating up a Cuban fighter, but every time I hit him, somehow, they took away a point from me. I knew right away that I had to knock him out to win, and they did end up stopping the fight.”

Closing cuts & controlling blood flow leads 83-year-old Ray Rodgers into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

فئة من 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, لويزيانا

COLORADO SPRINGS, حضن. (تشرين الثاني 25, 2019) – Arkansas boxing icon Ray Rodgershas successfully dealt with more cuts than most surgeons, all the way into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, in which he’ll be inducted on Friday night, ديسمبر 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, في فندق Golden Nugget & Casino in Lake Charles, لويزيانا.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 الامريكى. Olympic Team Trials for Boxing and 2019 البطولات الوطنية, ديسمبر. 7-15, في مركز ليك تشارلز سيفيك. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, ديسمبر. 15, في فندق Golden Nugget & كازينو. Hall of Fame broadcaster آل بيرنشتاين from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes three Olympic gold-medalists, “كبير” جورج فورمان, “Smokin'” جو فرايزر و علامة Breland, as well as legendary coach آل ميتشل.

Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

There isn’t much in boxing, if anything, that Rodgers hasn’t done: ملاكم, official, مدرب, administrator and, بالطبع, قطع رجل. “I’m a boxing guy,” Rodgers said in his Southern twang. “I’ve been around the block, several times. But I don’t say I’m a cut man, I’m a laceration management specialist.”

Rodgers first got into boxing when he was in the fifth grade, back in Oklahoma, where he was born. A memo was sent around that there would be a tryout for boxing held the next day at the local high school gym. His parents gave their permission to let him tryout, the first chapter of his incredible boxing career.

“From the first moment,” the charming boxing character remembered, “كنت مدمن مخدرات. I still have the letter I received in boxing. That was in 1947 and I’m still in boxing. I’m very proud of that.”

Rodgers has worked 39 world championship fights in professional boxing, as a cut man (he only trains amateur boxers) for the likes of world champions Jermaine Taylor, Wayne McCollough و تومي موريسون.

“It’s been beyond belief for a regular old boxing guy like me,” Rodgers said about his life in boxing. “I’ve traveled all over the world, many times, as a cut man.”

He was the first national official of both the Golden Gloves and Silver Gloves. أكثر, he’s already been inducted in three Hall of Fames: القفازات الفضية, Golden Gloves and Arkansas Sports HOF.

“Ray’s sacrifice to countless youth as a coach, الناصح, قطع رجل, and leader throughout the amateur boxing community is inspirational,” علق كريس tofflemire, المدير التنفيذي لرابطة خريجي الملاكمة بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. “His years of service and the knowledge he has passed on to other generations is what makes him a Hall of Famer, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Rodgers hasn’t slowed down, despite recently celebrating his 83الثالثة عيد ميلاد. He still owns and operates Ray Rodgers Boxing Club in West Little Rock, أركنساس, in addition to serving as director of the Arkansas Golden Gloves and Mid-South Tournament, which includes Louisiana, ميسيسيبي, Western Tennessee and Arkansas. And he’s also the vice-president of the National Golden Gloves and chairman of the National Silver Gloves.

“بعمري, I’m happy to have any birthday,” Rodgers joked. “I’m hoping to live another 10-12 سنوات, Lord willing. It’s all in the Lord’s hands; controlling the flow of blood, رغم أن, is in my hands.”

Confirmed special guests include 1988 الميدالية الذهبية الاولمبية أندرو ماينارد, three-time National AAU Coach of the Year (1972-76-77) Joe Clough, 1984 الميدالية الذهبية الاولمبية فرانك تيت وشقيقه توماس, 1972 أولمبي Tim Dement, 2002 الوطني بطل قفازات الذهبي Jaidon Codringtion, 1980 Olympic Qualifier Jackie Beard, 1981 دورة الالعاب الاولمبية للناشئين Glen Modicue, four-time National champion إيريك كيلي, 1988 Eastern Olympic Qualifier champion جون سكالي, Obie Beard, Mark Lanton وStephens الإخوة – Donald, أنتوني و جيري.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatمحمد علي in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, تجميع 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. في الجولة الافتتاحية, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (أوغندا), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (أستراليا) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (روسيا) في الدور نصف النهائي, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, مقابلHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

فرايزر (32-4-1, 27 كوس) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofمحمد علي, جيمي إليس (مرتين), بوب فوستر, Oscar Bonavena(مرتين), Jerry Quarry, Mathis, دوغ جونز, إدي مشن] وجورج Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedكريس tofflemire, المدير التنفيذي لرابطة خريجي الملاكمة بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13عشر."

لوس انجليس (ديسمبر. 1, 2018) – Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder and Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury fought to a split-decision draw on SHOWTIME PPV® on Saturday night from STAPLES Center​ ​in​ ​arguably ​one of the best heavyweight fights in years​.​

 

 

 

After controlling the WBC World Championship fight early, غضب شديد (27-0-1, 19 كوس) miraculously overcame two knockdowns by Wilder (40-0-1, 39 كوس) – including one in round 12 – in the improbable draw. سجل القضاة نوبة 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113.

 

 

 

“I think with the two knockdowns I definitely won the fight,” said Wilder, who has recorded a knockdown in each of his 41 pro fights and was defending his WBC belt for the eighth time since 2015. “We poured our hearts out tonight. We’re both warriors, but with those two drops I think I won the fight.”

 

​

 

Fury saw it differently, stating that he gave it everything he had.

 

 

 

“We’re on away soil, I got knocked down twice, but I still believe I won that fight,” said England’s Fury, whose amazing comeback continues following a two and a half-year absence from the sport from drug and alcohol addiction and mental health issues.​ “I hope I did you all proud after nearly three years out of the ring. I was never going to be knocked down tonight. I showed good heart to get up. I came here tonight and I fought my heart out.​”​

 

 

It was an electrifying night with an attendance announced at 17,698 المشجعين, which included Hollywood stars and fight fans like former Lakers greats Shaquille O’Neal, Jerry West, former NFL stars Michael Strahan and Michael Irvin, and ​boxing ​legends Evander Holyfield and Floyd Mayweather.

 

 

 

غضب شديد, who out-landed Wilder 84-71 شامل, was caught by a short right hand by Wilder just behind the left ear to drop Fury for the third time in his career in the ninth round. Then in the 12th, a Wilder right hand and left hook combination sent the 6-foot-9 Fury down again, hitting his head on the canvas. ثانية, he managed to ​stand​ up and referee Jack Reiss let him continue to fight.

 

 

 

“Boxing is always the theater of the unexpected, and that’s what we had tonight,” SHOWTIME expert analyst Al Bernstein said.

 

 

 

Bernstein said seeing Fury get up and continue to fight after the brutal knockdown was “one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen in the boxing ring.”

 

 

 

SHOWTIME boxing historian and commentator Steve Farhood had Fury controlling the early rounds and Fury winning rounds 3-8, and ultimately scored the fight, 115-111.

 

 

 

Because of a rematch clause, both fighters were asked if they would like to do it again. “I would love for it to be my next fight,” Wilder said. “Why not? Let’s give the fans what they want to see. It was a great fight and let’s do it again. It doesn’t matter to me where we do it.”

 

 

 

“​One hundred​ percent we’ll do the rematch,قال فيوري, fighting in the first heavyweight title pay-per-view bout in America since 2002. “We are two great champions. Me and this man are the two best heavyweights on the planet.”

 

 

 

Wilder said he came out slow and rushed his punches. “I didn’t sit still. I was too hesitant. I started overthrowing the right hand and I just couldn’t adjust.”

 

 

 

غضب شديد, fighting for the third time this year with 26-year-old trainer Ben Davison in his corner, also had former boxing great Ricky Hatton and seven-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach in his corner.

 

 

 

In the lead-up fight to Wilder-Fury, "سويفت" جاريت هيرد (23-0, 16 كوس) defended his 154-pound IBF and WBA world title belts with a fourth-round knockout against United Kingdom’s James Welborn (24-7, 7 كوس), who was fighting for the first time on American soil.

 

 

Welborn was the aggressor in the first minute of the fourth round, sending Hurd to the ropes with punch after punch to the body and head. Suddenly realizing he might be in trouble, Hurd of Accokeek, ماريلاند., countered back from sudden adversity in dramatic fashion and sent Welborn back-tracking before a devastating body punch sent him to one knee. He was counted out at 1:55 by referee Lou Moret, who was officiating the final fight of his 30-plus year career.

 

 

 

بعد المعركة, undefeated super welterweight Jermell Charlo entered the ring to challenge for Hurd’s coveted belts. “We definitely want Charlo,” Hurd told SHOWTIME Sports’ جيم رمادي, saying the matchup would likely occur after one more fight. “I’m calling the shots. أنا لا. ​1​ right now. When I say answer the phone, answer the phone. I got the date.”

 

 

 

Charlo shot back. “This is easy money. I like those belts – they look real good on you. He said he wants another fight. I’m ready now.”

 

 

 

هيرد, who unified the WBA and IBF belts by beating WBA champion Erislandy Lara in April in Las Vegas, was returning with a surgically repair left shoulder. He threw 118 الامصال, more than half of the 220 punches he threw in the fight.

 

 

 

“I’m just coming off surgery so I wanted to see how I worked off the jab,"قال هيرد. “I felt good I was working behind the jab I got caught on the ropes and got caught with some shots and said ‘that’s enough. He got enough TV time.’ I heard the crowd and I didn’t want to get brave. So I turned it up and got the knockdown.​”​

 

 

 

Former Wilder foe and heavyweight southpaw Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (30-1, 26 كوس) returned to STAPLES​ Center​ for a second consecutive victory with a resounding 10th-round TKO against Travis “My Time” Kauffman (32-3, 23 كوس) من القراءة, السلطة الفلسطينية.

 

 

 

The 39-year-old Ortiz of Camaguey, كوبا, registered left-cross knockdowns in the sixth, eighth and 10th rounds before the final blow coming later in the 10th round against a gritty Kauffman. It was the 26th career stoppage for Ortiz, who lost to Wilder in a Fight of the Year candidate back in March.

 

 

 

The fight was officially called at 1:58 of the 10th round. "انا محارب,” Ortiz said. “Nothing contains me. We didn’t have to knock him out but we wanted to show everything we have in our repertoire, and we showed it tonight.”

 

 

 

أورتيز, who was warned twice for low blows, clipped Kauffman for a second time by a lethal left hand of Ortiz at 2:29 في الجولة الثامنة. But just like the first time he was send to canvas in the sixth round, Kauffman was able to get up and continue fighting.

 

 

 

The technically sound performance by Ortiz included 376 jab attempts to Kauffman’s 99 and out-landing him 66-7. That led to a 135-37 lead in total connects and a 69-30 margin in power connects against Kauffman, who SHOWTIME commentator Paulie Malignaggi called, “a stubborn guy who wouldn’t go away.”

 

 

 

“Of course I’ll fight the winner of this fight [Wilder-Fury],” Ortiz said. “I want that second fight with Wilder. I want to fight anybody.”

 

 

 

In the ​pay-per-view​ telecast opener, Joe “The Juggernaut” Joyce (7-0, 7 كوس) recorded a massive first-round knockout against Joe “The Future” Hanks (23-3, 15 كوس). A rising heavyweight, Joyce, من لندن, انجلترا, ended the fight officially after just 2:25 as he used a right jab to set up a near-perfect left hook sending Hanks to the canvas and down for the count.

 

 

 

Trained by noted trainer Abel Sanchez, Joyce told Gray he’s ready for anyone. “I want to get in some bigger fights,” said the former Olympic silver medal winner who recorded his fourth first-round KO. “I’ve been doing well so there is plenty more to come. All the support from back home in England, thanks for coming. I hope I put on something good to watch.”

 

 

 

It was the second win in the United States for Joyce, who also picked up the vacant WBA Continental heavyweight title. “I’m getting people out quickly,"هو قال. “I’ve got a lot of experience, I’m just going to improve on my strength and my speed. I’ve heard comments that I’m slow but I seem to land the shots and get the job done.”

 

 

 

It was the third time during his career that Hanks, from Newark, نيوجيرسي, has been knocked down by a left hook.

 

 

 

Earlier in the night on SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION Adonis Stevenson’s five-and-a-half year reign as the WBC Light Heavyweight Champion of the World ended as Oleksandr Gvozdyk dethroned boxing’s longest reigning champion with a devastating 11th round knockout from Videotron Center in Quebec City.

وقد استضاف المائدة المستديرة مراسل SHOWTIME Sports الحائز على جائزة Jim Gray من فندق Westin Bonaventure Hotel & الأجنحة, لوس انجليس. إليكم ما قالته أساطير الوزن الثقيل يوم الجمعة:

 

ايفاندر هوليفيلد

 

 

“أشعر أن ديونتاي وايلدر سيفوز لأنه سيصل في النهاية إلى اليد اليمنى. إنه صبور جدا. إنه مفكر, ولكن يمكنه أيضًا أن يجازف. عندما يخاطر الناس, يفوزون.

 

 

 

“قد لا يكون لدى Deontay الخبرة بقدر ما كان لدينا في يومنا هذا, ولكن لديه القوة. هذا ما يريد الناس رؤيته وأعتقد أنهم سيكونون سعداء عندما يرونه.

 

 

 

“كانت هناك نقطة زمنية حيث كان كل وزن ثقيل كبير من الولايات المتحدة. كان لدينا برنامج جيد للهواة. كنت آخر بطل حقيقي للوزن الثقيل من الولايات المتحدة. قبل وايلدر وحتى خسرت القرار ضد لينوكس.

 

 

 

“أن نكون بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل, وقول أنك الأفضل, عليك محاربة أي رجل.”

 

لينوكس لويس

 

 

 

“أعتقد أنها ستكون معركة كبيرة. لديونتاي وايلدر يد يمنى رائعة وعندما تهبط, لا يستطيع الكثير من الناس مواجهتها. أعتقد أيضًا أنه لا يمكنك إيذاء ما لا يمكنك ضربه. ليس تايسون فيوري من السهل الوصول إليه. لديه قدرة وحركة كبيرة. سأذهب مع Deontay مبكرًا أو فيوري متأخرًا.

 

 

 

“نعلم جميعًا كيف تشعر بفقدان بطولة الوزن الثقيل. نحن نعلم مدى صعوبة استعادتها. فقد الغضب عليه, والآن يريد أن يعود. أستطيع أن أرى الآن أنه يضحي ويقول لنفسه أنه ما كان ليخسرها, والآن عليه أن يستعيدها.

 

 

 

“أعتقد أن المنظر في المملكة المتحدة. هو أن تايسون فيوري هو الرجل الذي صعد. تم طرح القفاز هناك ووقف من أجل بريطانيا. جاء ديونتاي إلى إنجلترا لتحدي أنتوني جوشوا, ولكن كان تايسون فيوري هو الذي رد على المكالمة.

 

 

 

“أود أن أقول أن هناك اثنين من meccas في الملاكمة هي الأماكن التي يريد الجميع القتال فيها. لاس فيغاس, نيويورك وبالطبع, لوس انجليس. كان قتالي ضد فيتالي كليتشكو في مركز ستابلز معركة كبيرة. لم تكن خطتي في تلك الليلة أن أذهب للمسافة, أنا محاصر للذهاب مسافة قصيرة وفعلت.”

 

ريديك باو

 

 

 

“سأذهب مع ديونتاي وايلدر ليلة الغد. سيقدم عرضًا رائعًا للجميع ويحصل على ضربة قاضية أخرى.

 

 

 

“تايسون فيوري هو ماهر وطويل, ولكن بالنسبة لي, لا يفعل ما يكفي في الهجوم. يتحرك لكنه لا يحرك يديه بما فيه الكفاية.”

 

جيري كوني

 

 

 

“أعتقد أنها معركة عظيمة غدا. نحن نعلم أن الغضب يعود بدافع. إذا وجد وايلدر منزلًا لهذا الحق, سيخرج فيوري. أعتقد أنه سيتواصل في وقت ما أثناء القتال.

 

 

 

“أعتقد أن تايسون فيوري رجل عظيم لمدى عودته في حياته ولوقوفه في ديونتاي وايلدر. اتصل به فيوري, لذلك ربما يعرف شيئا لا نعرفه.

 

 

 

“أنا سعيد لوجودي هنا. انظر إلى كل هؤلاء أصحاب الوزن الثقيل والرجال الرائعين. إنه أمر خاص وكلهم هنا لمشاهدة هذه المعركة ليلة الغد.”

 

حلاق إرني

 

 

 

“أنا وديونتاي من ألاباما. سأدخل إلى قاعة مشاهير ألاباما الرياضية قريبًا وسأكون ديونتاي هناك يومًا ما أيضًا. Deontay هو لكمة رائعة وأنا أسحب له ليلة الغد.

 

 

 

“لقد حاربت في عصر عظيم. إذا قاتلت الرجال على نفس المستوى, ستحصل على معارك جيدة. هؤلاء الرجال اليوم يمكن أن يدخلوا هناك في يومنا هذا ويعرضون عرضًا جيدًا.”

 

بوستر دوجلاس

 

 

 

“أعتقد أن هذه ستكون معركة تنافسية جيدة. إذا اضطررت للاختيار, سآخذ Deontay Wilder بالضربة القاضية في الجولة الثامنة.

 

 

 

“أشعر أن Tyson Fury قد فاز بالفعل من خلال القتال مرة أخرى والدخول في شكل كبير وكوني في هذا الموقف. أنا متأكد من أن الكثير من الناس يعتقدون أنهم لن يروه مرة أخرى هنا. هذا انتصار في حد ذاته.

 

 

 

“انتصاري على مايك تايسون غيّر حياتي بطريقة رائعة. كنت الآن بطل العالم للوزن الثقيل. لقد تحقق حلمي. رؤية طفلي الأصغر سنا كانا الشيء الوحيد الذي يمكن أن يتصدرها.”

 

مايكل سبينس

 

 

“قد تفوز أفضل رجل. لا أعرف من هو في أفضل شكل ولكني أعتقد أن غضبي من الحلبة يجعلني أميل إلى Deontay Wilder. إذا كان غضب شخص كبير كما يقولون, لديه فرصة عظيمة.

 

 

“إذا كنت المستضعف, عليك فقط متابعة ما تعرفه وما عملت عليه. لا يمكنك الانتباه إلى المشككين. أنت تركز على ما أعددته لنفسك ومنحه كل شيء. لطالما رأيت نفسي أفوز. إنه أفضل شعور للخروج من الحلبة منتصرا.”

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday from Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites Los Angeles:
JARRETT HURD
“Everything that my team and I have spoken about has come to pass. I’m here as the co-main of a massive card and I’m just really appreciative of everyone who believed in me and helped push me to this moment.
“Saturday night I want to show my versatility. Everyone has seen that I’m electrifying. I bring the action. But I want to show that I am swift and I do have defense. I know how to use my height and range. I’m still going to bring the action on Saturday, so you have to make sure to tune-in.
“We don’t think of Welborn as a tune-up fight. Jason Welborn is a British champion for a reason. We just want to go out there and establish the game plan we worked on in camp.
“I want to show my defensive side and show that I can box and move. I want to show that I don’t have to just keep coming forward. I’m going to be able to do that and start to break him down and get him out of there.
“Everybody sees my demeanor, and they know that I carry that to the ring. My composure is my biggest attribute. بغض النظر عن ما يقوله الآخرون, I’m always going to be me.
“I’m number one in the division and things are going to play out how I want them. We’ve had three tough camps training for southpaws. When I eventually fight (WBC champion) Jermell تشارلو, I’m going to be ready because of all the work on my versatility and defense. I’ll be ready for Jermell Charlo.
“I want to be an active champion because I didn’t have a lot of amateur fights. I need to stay in the ring and get all the experience I can. I want to get these good fights in while I’m still young and healthy.
“I’m back from my surgery and we’re going to get back to the old Jarrett Hurd. I’m going to show everyone all that I can do. Everyone knows that there’s always going to be action. It’s going to be a wonderful fight on a wonderful card. Don’t blink during this one.”
JASON WELBORN
“This is a dream come true to be here today. Hurd has worked his way up to get here just like I have. الآن, he’s in my way. I hope everyone enjoys what I bring to the table on Saturday night.
“I have the belief that I’m born and bred for this game and I’m going to show it to the whole world on Saturday night. I always prove people wrong.
“The last two years I’ve become the best in Britain and beaten everyone they put in front of me. When people doubt me, I train even harder. I’m coming to win and I’ve got nothing to lose.
“I have to get what I deserve and I’ll do it on Saturday night. I’ve already been through the storm. He’s got what I want.
“I’ve got to enjoy the fight and get what I want. He can look past me all he wants, but once he feels what I bring to the table, we’ll see how he reacts. I’m ready for whatever he’s going to bring to the table.”
LUIS ORTIZ
“I want to thank everyone who has helped me get this opportunity. I like to do my talking in the ring, but I’m happy that Travis Kauffman stepped up. A lot of heavyweights haven’t done that and I’m glad we can make this fight happen.
“I’m coming to do my job. This is a heavyweight fight and we know that means one punch can change everything. It’s not going to end well for Travis on Saturday night.
“يوجد 10 rounds to get the job done, and three minutes per round. I’m going to get my job done. The job is to seek and destroy. So I hope that Travis is very prepared to give the fans a great show. Saturday night you’ll see ‘King Kong’ في الحلقة.
“I’ve pushed myself even harder than ever in training camp. We’re sticking with the same game plan of family first and I believe I will be rewarded. My five-year-old boy reminds me that I have a loss and that motivates me to train harder and harder.
“I expect Travis to have the great confidence he’s showing. It’s a great chance for him and I’m sure he’ll be motivated. I’m motivated for every fight, because it’s not just about my opponent. My goal is to provide for my family and Travis is in the way. I’ve never deterred from that mentality and it’s got me ready for Saturday night.”
TRAVIS كوفمان
“I’m thankful to Luis Ortiz for taking this fight. Everybody is afraid to fight him, but I’m not afraid of anyone. We all know that Luis Ortiz can punch, but I don’t care about any of that. It’s my time. I come from a rough background and I won’t back down.
“هذا هو وقتي. There’s nothing that’s going to stop me from taking this guy down. He’s so worried about Deontay Wilder, but he has to worry about me before he gets any rematch.
“You might not know who I am right now, but you will after Saturday night. I’m going to make sure people remember my name.
“Luis Ortiz is very skilled, but if you want to be the best you have to fight the best. No one actually wants to step up and take this fight, but I really believe this is my time. I bring some heat in the ring and I come to fight every time.”
JOE JOYCE
“I’m excited to be on this massive card. I’m going to give the whole world a treat as part of a great event. You have to tune-in and watch me start the show off right on Saturday night.
“Training in Big Bear has been a perfect environment for me. It’s in the mountains, it has the altitude and it’s secluded. I’ve seen what goes into their training camps and worked alongside the best in the world. They’ve helped me install the kind of style that will have me at my best.
“I have the Olympic pedigree, but now it’s about advancing the brute strength and really getting the perfect snap on my shots.
“Sparring against Tyson Fury was really top-level work. I know that it’s made me a better fighter. He’s looking fit and strong and it shows when you’re in the ring with him.
“هذا هو فرصة عظيمة. Abel Sanchez has done a tremendous job getting me ready for this position. I’m excited to show everyone my skills and everything I’ve learned.
“I’m glad that Joe Hanks decided to take this fight. I can’t wait to lace up the gloves and get the party started. I’m going to keep my knockout streak going and I guarantee it’s going to be exciting”
JOE HANKS
“It’s been a long time coming for this moment. I’m thankful to my team and I’m excited to be on this card with other great heavyweights. It’s a great time to be a heavyweight. I’m ready to put my name in the ring to have the chance to really do something special with a great performance Saturday.
“The work has been done. I did everything that I had to do. I’ve done more than I did preparing for my past fights. Being the underdog doesn’t mean much to me. I’m from Newark, نيو جيرسي, and we’re all underdogs there.
“I’ve put the time in and I’ve had everyone supporting me and pushing me and I think it’s going to get me over the hump. I’m just really excited to get in there.”
ستيفن اسبينوزا, رئيس الرياضة & البرمجة الحدث, شوتايم شبكات المؤتمر الوطني العراقي.
“When we talk about Jarrett Hurd, he’s a fighter who has seemingly come out of nowhere and has had an incredibly rapid rise to the top. He was not a decorated amateur. He has learned on the job. All he has done since beating Oscar Molina in 2016 is impress. He is recognized as one of the bright young stars in boxing. He has been off due to injury and certainly could have taken an easier fight than Jason Welborn, who is a British Commonwealth champion. We’re expecting an action fight there.
“Luis Ortiz is one of the top heavyweights in the world. He has one blemish on his otherwise perfect record, a loss to Deontay Wilder. Perhaps Ortiz was just seconds away from victory. We talk about a slim margin in fights, that was the slimmest of margins. I think he is going to be trying to make a statement on the undercard that he deserves a rematch against Deontay Wilder. Standing in his way will be Travis Kauffman. This is another all-action fight filled with big punchers.
“In our opening bout, we have one of the most talked-about rising young heavyweights in the sport – جو جويس, who is taking on a tough veteran in Joe Hanks. كما نعلم, the heavyweight division has been the focus more in the last six to nine months than we’ve seen in the last couple decades. Joe Joyce is at the top of the list on the potential next wave of future stars. He is certainly not wasting any time taking on a fighter of Joe Hanks’ caliber.
“When you look at the card overall, you’ve got some of the biggest punchers in boxing. I wouldn’t be surprised if we see several knockouts on this card. Don’t miss the action.”
