”It’s a tremendous honor to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame,” said Collins (married name Globuschutz). “This is my fourth induction into Halls of Fame, which is special to me since I also held four world titles.

“In 1995, I was part of the first class of women ever allowed to box in the fabled Daily News Golden Gloves. A year later, the first women’s fight televised on the USA Tuesday night boxing series from the Paramount at Madison Square Garden, which culminated in the highest female purses at the time from Madison Square Garden as a co-featured bout on a major pay-per-view for Don King. These were major accomplishments in women’s boxing. It helped paved the way for women today, some coming out of the Olympics, selling out The Garden and working towards equal pay with seven-figure pay days.”

Collins’ second professional fight was a six-round decision over Andrea DeShong in 1996, which brought pro women’s boxing to the famed Madison Square Garden and regular cable television.

אין 1997, Kathy captured the IFBA welterweight title and added the IWBF junior welterweight crown later that same year, דעמאָלט, she dropped down to the lightweight division to successfully challenge for the IWBF championship. Collins became the first fighter to simultaneously own world titles in the WIBF, IFBA, and IWBF.

Kathy Collins is a true pioneer in women’s boxing. איצט, she’ll be honored at home in New York by her induction into the NYSBHOF.

“In 30 יאָרן,” she concluded, “we’ve come a long way baby! It is truly an honor to be recognized by the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame and to be recognized and included in in a tremendously talented, successful class of inductees, and being around so many of my friends and colleagues that helped me break ceilings along the way.”

“Kathy Collins is a great asset for the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame as our first female boxer inductee,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy commented. “Her induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame is an extension of her career as a pioneer of women’s boxing. We are proud to be inducting her.”

קאָלאָראַדאָ ספּרינגס, שויס. (נאָוועמבער 12, 2018) – The late Tom Cleary was one of the most respected referees in the world during his illustrious career. He joins a select group in the Class of 2018 getting inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, דעצעמבער 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 ז. Temple St.) in Salk Lake City, Utah.

The charter class inducted last year included מוכאַמאַד עלי און עוואַנדער האָליפיעלד, as well as veteran coaches Roosevelt Sanders און Tom Coulter.

 

 

 

A longtime resident of Westchester, אָהיאָ, Cleary was a USA Boxing member since 1982, and he served as Chief of Officials for the National Collegiate Boxing Association from 2002 until his passing May 21, 2017.

 

 

 

He refereed in 12 different countries, on four continents, as an International Official assigned by AIBA. Tom earned a three-star rating and he was selected to work the World Series of Boxing.

 

 

 

Tom’s dedication to amateur boxing and respect he garnered from boxers, coaches and fellow officials are second to none,” האט Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “The Alumni Association emphatically endorsed his case for the Hall of Fame, and his induction was received both by those close to him, as well as the entire amateur boxing community. Tom’s commitment to serving USA Boxing provides a great example for all of us and we couldn’t be prouder to call him a member of this year’s Hall of Fame class.

 

 

 

Tom never forgot where he came from, dedicating countless hours to the youth of Cincinnati, in addition to helping boxing clubs run efficiently throughout his community for more than a quarter-century.

 

 

 

די 2017 NCBA Official of the Year, Tom worked local, regional, national, International, world and Olympic levels of boxing. Highlights included working numerous U.S. לאַנדיש טשאַמפּיאָנשיפּס, four U.S. אָלימפּיק טריאַלס (2000, 2004, 2008 & 2012) און די 2007 World Championships in Chicago.

 

 

 

When I was a young coach at the Air Force Academy,” USA Boxing coach Ed Weichers קאַמענטאַד, “we needed to replace an AIBA top notch referee who was retiring. We were looking for a highly qualified person and Tom Cleary was recommended. He came out the next 25 years straight. Tom was one of the best referees. He cared so much about the safety of the boxers and Tom was also a valuable mentor.

 

 

 

Tom was a wonderful man who everybody loved. He administered referee clinics in the United States and always helped those in need, youngsters and adults. Tom’s work in the Cincinnati area influenced so many boxers and coaches for more than 25 יאָרן. We dearly miss him.

VERONA, נ.י.. (יוני 10, 2017) – Undefeated super lightweight Regis Prograis made an emphatic statement פרייַטיק אויףשאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן, knocking down previously undefeated Joel Diaz Jr. four times in the second round as he stamped his arrival as a legitimate contender in the 140-pound division.

The southpaw Prograis (20-0, 17 קאָס), who was making his fourth start on the prospect developmental series, called out the top names at 140 after the second round demolition (וואס 2:55) at Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, נ.י..

The special Hall of Fame edition of שאָבאָקס: די ניו גענעראַטיאָן featured four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: שאָבאָקס mainstays Barry Tompkins and Steve Farhood and special guests Al Bernstein and Jimmy Lennon Jr. Tompkins and Farhood will be inducted just down the road in Canastota אויף זונטאג אין אַ 2017 class headlined by boxing greats Evander Holyfield, Marco Antonio Barrera and Johnny Tapia.

The super lightweights, Prograis and Diaz, entered the main event with a combined record of 42-0, but it was clear they were in a different class after the first round. Prograis knocked down Diaz in the opening 30 seconds of the second in an exchange that appeared to be the result of a clash of feet. Regardless, Prograis smelled blood and pounced on Diaz, flooring him again with a straight left midway through the round.

The Houston resident, who relocated from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, knocked down Diaz again just 15 seconds later with a straight left. The fourth and final knockdown, courtesy of a left hook, sent Diaz (23-1, 19 קאָס) tumbling back and was enough for referee Mark Nelson to halt the bout with just seconds left on the clock.

It was a convincing statement for Prograis, וואס לאַנדיד 62 percent of his power shots in the toughest test of his career.

"הייַנט בייַ נאַכט I proved I graduated from שאָבאָקס,” Prograis said. “I’m ready for the bigger stage. I’m ready for the big show. I want to fight best the best in the division. איך ווילן (Terrance) קראָפערד, (Victor) פּאָסטאָל, (אַדריען) בראָנער. I want them all. None of these guys have fought anybody like me. The boogeyman is coming. They better get ready.

“He was tough, he was strong and hit hard, but I went through it. That’s another opponent I ran through. I run through everybody. I’m ready for my shot. I’m coming for everybody at 140.”

דיאַז, who became the 164טה fighter to suffer his first defeat on the series, was clearly disappointed with his game plan.

I went out there too hyper, trying to kill him,” Diaz said. “I went out too aggressive. I should have toned it down a bit. I had 10 rounds but I just went out there trying to take him out. I should’ve calmed down.

“I should have used my jab a bit more to knock him down but I came out swinging.

Super middleweight prospect Steve Rolls managed to maintain his undefeated record with a closely contested eight-round slip decision victory over Demond Nicholson scored 77-75 ניטשאָלסאָן, 77-74 ראָללס, 77-74 ראָללס.

Rolls got off to a quick start, flooring Nicholson with a left hook in the closing seconds of the first to pocket a 10-8 קייַלעכיק. He came out attacking to sweep the second, but the fight appeared to change course in the third when Nicholson hurt Rolls in the final minute with his first meaningful punch of the fight.

ניטשאָלסאָן (17-2-1, 16 קאָס) carried the momentum to sweep the fourth, but the remaining four rounds featured back-and-forth action and were difficult to score. ראָללס (16-0, 9 קאָס) was the slightly busier fighter, קאַנעקטינג אויף 412 total punches compared to 390 איבער אַכט ראָונדס, but Nicholson edged his opponent 134-117 in total connects.

שאָבאָקס announcers Tompkins, Farhood and Raul Marquez all had Nicholson winning the final six rounds and edging Rolls 77-74 on their unofficial scorecards.

What made the difference for me הייַנט בייַ נאַכט was my jab, my patience, my overall boxing ability,” Rolls said. “I came in to this fight having no doubts. Nicholson was talking beforehand about my last fight, he was talking about my footwork, and I knew he was going to be in for a big surprise. I adapt for each fight.

“I knew I had him from the first round. My corner calmed me down and told me to take my time.

ניטשאָלסאָן, who has mostly competed at 160 פונט, disagreed with the judges’ decision.

“I’m not going to make any excuses. He won the fight,” Nicholson said. “That’s what the judges saw, but I don’t agree. He hurt me in the first round. He hit me viciously in the head. I was dizzy but I recovered and I went on. I think I did a very good job but clearly not enough.

“I can’t fight at 160 – I’m a 168-pounder. Fighting at that weight drained me. I wasn’t at my best.”

אין דער עפענונג באַוט פון די טעלאַקאַסט, undefeated lightweight prospect Jon Fernandez scored a brutal knockout of Juan Reyes at2:36 פון די רגע קייַלעכיק.

Fernandez stepped on the gas from the opening bell, utilizing superior activity and accuracy to pick apart the game yet outmatched Reyes. The pair combined to throw 240 punches in the opening stanza but Fernandez landed his right at will and was clearly the more effective fighter.

The Sergio Martinez protégé had a bloodied Reyes hurt in the opening minute of the second and closed the show in the final minute with a sharp right to the ear that sent Reyes (14-4-3, 2 קאָס) falling back toward the canvas. The perfectly placed punch had Reyes seemingly out before he hit the floor.

The Spaniard Fernandez (13-0, 11 קאָס) landed a staggering 55 percent of his power shots and 40 פּראָצענט פון זיין גאַנץ פּאַנטשיז.

“The one-two, one-two was the key to opening the door,” Fernandez said. “The straight right hand is one of my best punches and I caught Reyes in the perfect spot. I hope he is OK. I feel that I am ready for the next level. I’ll fight wherever there is an opportunity, but I believe the big fights are here in the U.S.

Reyes was responsive but taken to the hospital as a precautionary measure.
