J RUSSELL PELTZ NOMEN'NY FILAN-KEVITRA FILAN-TANY PHILADELPHIA Kisary Philadelphia fantatra nandritra ny antsasaky ny taonjato tamin'ny fampiroboroboana ny ady totohondry tao an-tanàna.

PHILADELPHIA PA — Ireo mpikambana ao amin'ny Filankevitry ny Tanànan'i Philadelphia dia nanolotra fanapahan-kevitra hanomezam-boninahitra an'i J Russell Peltz tamin'ny fivorian'ny filankevitra androany maraina tamin'ny anaran'ny Filoha Darrell Clarke. Ny fanapahan-kevitra dia nanaiky an'i Peltz’ fandraisana anjara amin'ny tanàna 50 taona nampiroborobo ny ady totohondry tany Philadelphia. Ny Filoha Clarke no Filohan'ny Tanànan'ny Distrika 5, izay nampiroboroboan'i Peltz ny hetsika ady totohondry voalohany nataony tao amin'ny Blue Horizon tamin'ny Septambra 30, 1969.

Ny fanapahan-kevitra dia nanome tantara fohy momba an'i Peltz’ nisaotra azy noho ny fiantraikany lalina teo amin'ny tanàna farany teo 50 taona. Naneho ny faniriany ihany koa ny hanohizan'ny taranaka mpanentana ady totohondry ny lova navelan'i Philadelphia ho fiarovana mafy amin'ny ady totohondry..

Tsara fanahy i Peltz tamin'ny lahateniny, ary nampihomehezany ny vahoaka rehefa nanomboka niresaka momba ny asany izy.

“Manetry tena aho mba homem-boninahitra amin'ny tanàna,” nanomboka izy, “satria raha mieritreritra an'izany ianao, ny hany zavatra nataoko tamin'ny farany 50 taona dia manomboka ady izay vitan'ny hafa.

“Nihalehibe tao amin'ny tanàna miady lehibe indrindra eran-tany aho,” hoy hatrany izy. “Niady ho ahy ny sasany amin'ireo mpiady lehibe indrindra hatramin'izay – trano mpiady malaza – manomboka amin'ny fitiavako voalohany, Bennie Briscoe in 1969, ary mandroso hatrany amin'ny iray amin'ireo mpiady ahy izay nahazo anaram-boninahitra eran-tany tany Bej, Shina roa taona lasa izay tamin'ny anaran'i Jason Sosa.”

Namarana ny teniny tamin’ny tantara momba ny filalaovana izy “Cowboys & Indiana” fony mbola zaza, ary ahoana no niheverany fa ho mahafinaritra tokoa raha afaka milalao ny lalao amin'ny maha olon-dehibe azy, fa tsy mandeha miasa isan'andro. “Amim-pahatsorana, toy izany ny asako,” hoy izy:, ary nisaotra ny Filankevitra tamin’ny voninahitra.

Niaraka tamin’i Peltz ny vadiny, Linda, ary ny mpiaro azy sy ny mpanentana ny Zoma “ra, Hatsembohana ary 50 Taona” karatra miady amin'ny 2300 Arena, Michelle Rosado.

FANOMEZANA ZAZA RATSY: FANKALAZANA NY FAHA-50 TAONA NY FANDIKANA FAHA-50 TAONA OCTOBRA NY TOLONA OLONA PELTZ 4 AT 2300 ARENA

Hivory ny vondrom-piarahamonina ady totohondry Philadelphia
Manamarika “Ny Boy Wonder” 50-taona manan-danja




Philadelphia, PA–J Russell Peltz dia 22 taona fony izy nampiroborobo ny karatra ady totohondry voalohany 50 taona lasa izay tao amin'ny Blue Horizon malaza. On Oct. 4, Peltz dia hankalaza ny antsasaky ny taonjato ho mpanentana ady totohondry miaraka amin'ny karatra ao amin'ny 2300 Arena izay haneho ny lazany amin'ny fampiroboroboana Philly vs. Philly, tsy misy ampahefatry ny ady.


Ny karatra ady valo, nasondrotry ny Raging Babe, hanasongadinana Victor Padilla, welterweight zandriny, any Berlin, NJ, amin'ny alàlan'ny Vieques, Puerto Rico, ao amin'ny hetsika lehibe. Padilla, izay ampandrosoin'ny DiBella Entertainment, tsy resy tamin’ny ady dimy, amin'ny alalan'ny knockout daholo, ary heverin'i Peltz sy ny hafa ho tompondaka eran-tany ho avy. Peltz dia ho mpanazatra amin'ny hetsika.


Efa saika 20 taona maro hatramin'ny nahazoan'i Peltz ny loka Long and Meritorious Service avy amin'ny Boxing Writers Association of America sy Philadelphia Sportswriters Association., nanaraka 2004 tamin'ny fampidirana azy tao amin'ny Hall of Fame International Boxing. Raha ny hafa kosa mety nihevitra ny hisotro ronono, Peltz dia nanohy nampiroborobo mihoatra ny 150 hetsika fanampiny, ka nahatonga ny isan'ny seho nasondrotrany ho saika 1,000. Nampiroborobo na niara-nandroso mihoatra noho ny 40 fiadiana ny tompondaka eran-tany.


Taorian'ny nanombohany ny asany ho tonian-dahatsoratra ara-panatanjahantena ao amin'ny Temple News–ny gazety mpianatra isan'andro ao amin'ny Temple University–ary avy eo eo amin’ny birao fanaovana kopia ara-panatanjahantena ao amin’ny Bulletin Hariva sy Alahady, Peltz dia nivarotra tamin'ny milina fanoratana azy ho an'ny roller coaster izay ady totohondry matihanina. Nomena anarana izy “Ilay zazalahy mahagaga,” rehefa namidy ny Blue Horizon misy seza 1,346 izy tamin'ny hetsika voalohany nataony tamin'ny Sept. 30, 1969, alina izay nahitana hetsika lehibe antonony eo amin'i Bennie Briscoe, ny Philadelphia, ary Tito Marshall, ny Panama. Ny vahoaka nijoro irery ihany 1,606.


Tao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy lasa izay, naka an'i Michelle Rosado izy (aka Raging Babe) eo ambanin’ny elany, ny fanoroana azy sy ny fanehoana azy ny setroka sy ny ivelan'ny orinasa ady totohondry miaraka amin'ny marika tsy manam-paharoa amin'ny fitiavana henjana.


“Tsy afaka mieritreritra olona tsara kokoa aho hampiroborobo ny fankalazana ny faha-50 taonako,” hoy Peltz. “Afaka nipetraka teo amin'ny sezan'ny mpandeha aho tato anatin'ny roa taona farany raha nandeha fiara i Michelle ary faly aho mizara ity hetsika manokana ity aminy..


“Toa omaly aho no nipetraka teo ivelan'ny Blue Horizon any North Philly, mivarotra tapakila avy amin'ny fiarako ho an'ny karatra voalohany nataoko taorian'ny nikatonan'ny boaty ho an'ny andro. Avy eo mankany amin'ny Arena taloha any West Philly, avy eo mankany amin'ny The Spectrum any South Philly, tena nandeha mafy. Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Eoropa, Amerika atsimo, ny tatsinanana–Tsy mino aho fa efa antsasaky ny taonjato izany.”


Rosado: “Voninahitra ny mametraka ity karatra ity miaraka amin'ny faha-50 an'i Russell. Mpampianatra sy namana tsy mampino izy, ary heveriko fa nandrandrako ity fankalazana ny lovany ity mihoatra noho izay azony.”


Tickets mankany “Fankalazana ny faha-50 taonan'ny ady totohondry Peltz” dia vidiny $50, $70 ary $90. Azo vidiana an-tserasera amin'ny www.2300arena.com na amin'ny fiantsoana 215-758-2173 ary/na 215-765-0922. Varavarana misokatra ao amin'ny 6:30 pm ary ny ady voalohany dia amin'ny 7:30 am.

VALDEZ VS. RAMIREZARIZONA’S FIRST SEVEN-ROUND FIGHT


Bout headlines Guerra De Gallos at Casino Del Sol

Tucson, NY – Oct. 23 – When Tucson’s Jensen Ramirez (6-2-3, 1KO) squares off with NogalesThomas Valdez (16-4-2, 6KO) at the Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater, it will be the first seven-round bout in Arizona’s history. The featherweight bout headlines the Nov. 17 zava-nitranga, dubbed Guerra De Gallos.

 

 

 

Raging Babe’s Michelle Rosado had to think outside the box when negotiating the card’s main event. One camp wanted an eight-round fight and one wanted a six. Rosado, consulting with her mentor, Hall-of-Fame Promoter J Russell Peltz, lamented the potential loss of a solid, local main event. Peltz had a solution. “Why not meet in the middle and make it seven rounds?” Rosado was skeptical. “I told him to get outta here,” Rosado said. “I was laughing, but Peltz wasn’t joking. School was in session.

 

 

 

There was a precedent. Peltz told the story ofThe Long-Haired Boxer” Edwin “Chu ChuMalave vs. Harold Weston, Jr. in a welterweight bout that took place in August of 1971 at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Malave wanted the bout to be eight rounds, and Weston wanted 10. The New York State Athletic Commission proposed that the bout be nine rounds. Malave went on to win a split decision, with two judges scoring the fight 5-4 in his favor, and the third scoring it 5-4 for Weston.

 

 

 

Rosado had her fight.

 

 

 

I bought right into it when Russell told me about the Malave-Weston bout,” she said. “I knew we had a good fight, and there was something special about having a seven-round main event.Both Ramirez and Valdez’s teams agreed, and the Pascua Yacqui Commission sanctioned the seven-round bout. On Nov. 17, Tucson boxing fans will see Arizona’s first seven-round bout between two localgallos.

 

 

 

Raging Babe will host a press conference this Thursday, Oktobra 25 at Casino Del Sol’s Paradiso Lounge at 2 p.m. The presser will be open to the public and will include a tribute to promoter Don Chargin.

J Russell Peltz reflects on his favorite fights in Atlantic City

Peltz is the matchmaker for Febroary faha-24 card at The Showboat Hotel featuring Thomas LaManna and Gabriel Bracero

Atlantic City – Febroary 20, 2018Boxing in Atlantic City has been prevalent for more than 45 taona. One man who has been in the center of a lot of the action on the boardwalk has been International Boxing and Atlantic City Boxing Hall-of-Fame promoter and matchmaker J Russell Peltz.

The Philadelphia legend, who has promoted scores of cards in the shore town, is making matches for the Febroary 24 card at The Showboat Hotel that will feature Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna vs. Gabriel “Tito” Bracero in a 10-round battle for the WBC Fecarbox Welterweight championship.

I did my first fight in 1973,” hoy Peltz, who has run shows in just about every property in Atlantic City.

It is only fitting that Peltz is the matchmaker with promoter Rising Star Promotions in the South Jersey based promotional outfit’s effort to bring Atlantic City back to prominence as the the premier fight destination on the East Coast.

Peltz is hoping LaManna-Bracero is added to the memorable bouts that Peltz has been involved in Atlantic City:

1. Aogositra 31, 1981 at The Sands HotelFrank Fletcher vs Ernie Singletary.(PRISM)

The fight was televised by local cable channel PRISM (Jim Barniak and Bob Wright, both deceased, did the commentary) and it was for Fletcher’s USBA middleweight title.

This was the most brutal fight I ever saw, even more brutal than Matthew Saad Muhammad-Marvin Johnson I. This was a closet classic since few saw it on PRISM. The fight was toe-to-toe for seven rounds, no knockdowns, until ringside doctor stopped it between the seventh and eighth round. They could have fought this one in a phone booth.

Singletary was taken to hospital after fight.

“Taty aoriana, when we couldn’t find Fletcher, we broke into his hotel room, and he was out cold on the floor. We couldn’t get an ambulance so we (Marty Feldman and I) put him in the back of a police wagon and rode with him to the hospital where the doctor told us if we hadn’t found him he would have been dead.

Singletary kept saying in the pre-fight buildup that no 12-2 TV fighter was gonna beat him. This was a reference to Fletcher getting into the first ESPN tournament and winning while Singletary had been plying his trade for years (24-2 avy eo) and never got that kind of exposure, just on PRISM. Raha ny marina, Fletcher already had been on NBC once, beating Norberto Sabater.

2. Septambra 9, 1980 from ResortsMike Rossman vs. Al Bolden (PRISM)

Ex-WBA light-heavyweight Rossman was getting beat up every round for 8 1/2 rounds against Al Bolden, ny Pittsburgh, PA, and finally found a little light late in round 9 and came on to knock Bolden out at 2:32 of the 10th round and salvage the win. Bolden took the second knockdown in the 10th on his knees.

3. Martsa 13, 1983 from ResortsJeff ChandlerGaby Canizalez (ABC)

Jeff Chandler, in the most brilliant performance of his Hall-of-Fame career out-boxed, out-punched and out-muscled future champion Gaby Canizales, of Texas, ny 15 rounds to defend his WBA bantamweight title for the seventh time by unanimous decision. No one thought he could stand up under Canizalesbody attack but it was Chandler’s body and head attack that kept Canizales at bay for the entire fight. Just magnificent.

4. Martsa 2, 1985 from the Sands HotelGary Hinton vs Aaron Pryor (ABC)

Unknown lefty Gary Hinton gave IBF 140 pound world champ Aaron Pryor all he could handle, but a 14th-round knockdown helped Pryor gain a 15-round split decision with Sylvester Stallone in attendance. He was our partner at the time with Pryor. It was Pryor’s last successful title defense.

5. Novambra 19, 2011 from BallysGarrett Wilson vs. Chuck Mussachio

Moving from light heavyweight to cruiserweight, Mussachio appeared to have out-boxed Wilson for 11 rounds in their USBA cruiserweight title fight, but Wilson drilled Mussachhio with a monstrous overhand right 41 seconds into the 12th round for the knockout win.

Besides LaManna vs. Bracero, a terrific undercard has been assembled featuring undefeated fighters: light-heavyweight Frederick Julan (8-0, 6 Kos), ny Brooklyn, NY; super middleweight Darren Goodall (5-0, 4 Kos), ny New Milford, NJ; middleweight Omar Kabary Salem (1-0), ny Brooklyn, NY; super lightweight Jahmal Dyer (4-0, 2 Kos), ny Baltimore, MD.

Nandritra ny fanomanana ny Zoma ny Puerto Rico Ady Totohondry Classic tao amin'ny 2300 Arena any Philadelphia, mampiroborobo J Russell Peltz, Iraisam-pirenena Ady Totohondry Hall ny Fame, kilasy 2004, mampahatsiahy ny fanombohana amin'ny ady totohondry 46 taona maro lasa izay.

Amin'izao fotoana izao aho, na angamba mankalaza mitandrina-ny 46th taonan'ny ady voalohany ho toy ny ady totohondry mampiroborobo. Azoko natao ny niandry efa-taona hafa hanoratra ity tantara ity, fa toa toy ny ela avy izao sy Bet intsony aza mba tonga fa niavaka.

Hitako fa, indro minitra vitsy monja ny karatra ady totohondry voalohany. Dia Sept. 30, 1969, tao amin'ny Blue Horizon-tsy mbola malaza-ary sahirana ao amin'ny boaty birao amin'ny Neny, fivarotana tapakila ho any amin'ny farany ny 1,606 olona izahay, voaporitra tao ka tamin'iny alina iny mba hijery middleweight Bennie Briscoe handringana Tito Marshall ao amin'ny lalao miverina. Raha ny marina ny olona isika nihodina izy tamin'iny alina iny, ary izany no zavatra aho fa tsy hanao intsony. Inona no I mieritreritra?

Nisy miscommunication amin'ny sendika izay nanome ny tapakila mpivarotra ka rehefa tsy mba hampisehoana, I nanamby an'i Neny-Gratis, mazava ho azy, ary nanampy mba hivarotra ny tapakila.

Aho 22 taona, 15 volana taorian'ny nahazoany mari-pahaizana avy any Temple University ary latsaky ny 30 andro niala miasa amin'ny fotoana feno eo amin'ny fanatanjahan-tena mpiasa amin'ny Hariva Bulletin. Efa mba naniry ny ady totohondry nandresy amin'ny Ny Gazety, fa manam-paharetana rehefa azoko Jack Fried, ny ady totohondry mpanoratra, Nahazo ny fanitarana ny maintsy hisotro ronono taona 65 ary Izaho tsy tokony ho ny amin'ny hanantonana manodidina ny miandry azy ny misotro ronono na, toy Dada hoe, mandaka ny siny.

Noho izany dia nanao izay isan-22-taona oniversite Grad izay voasandratra eo amin'ny malaza Main-dalana hanao-Lasa ady totohondry mampiroborobo.

Efa voavonjy momba ny $5,000 tany amin'ny oniversite aho satria efa niasa manontolo andro tamin'ny izay antsoina hoe ny Oran-dranomasina Shift amin'ny Ny Gazety, manomboka ny fahavaratra taorian'ny taona ny zandriny ao amin'ny Tempoly. Niara-niasa tamin'ny mamatonalina ny 8 aho, fanitsiana tantara, manoratra maribolana sy ny lohateny sy manao re-manoratra. Avy eo aho handroahako amin'ny 30 & Tsena ho Avaratra Malalaka Street ho an'ny taona ambony ao amin'ny Tempoly, mandeha any am-pianarana avy 9 no ho 1 am, dia fiara an-trano ho any Bala Cynwyd mba handeha hatory.

Dia lahatsoratra iray-taona Olaimpika ao Philly ary nisy talenta amin'ny zorony eny an-dalambe rehetra. Tsaroako ny faramparan'ny fahavaratra ny 1969, nandroaka ny Columbia Avenue-ankehitriny Cecil B. Moore, ary nitodika nanatrika vantany vao 22d Street izay Columbia mivadika ho Ridge. Trano roa avy teo an-jorony ny atao hoe mety tsara ny Café Roach. Eo an-tampony ny Roach ny Café, ka ny mideza tohatra, i Champs Gym, mihazakazaka ny Quenzell McCall, izay efa nanao ny taolany fiofanana Bassett Percy sy Leotis Martin sy ny saka Hayward sy Briscoe sy ny maro hafa Philly ambony mpiady.
