The resolution gave a brief history of Peltzcareer before thanking him for the profound impact he had on the city over the last 50 години. It also expressed the wish that the next generation of boxing promoters continue to preserve Philadelphia’s legacy as a boxing stronghold.

Peltz was gracious in his remarks, and had the crowd laughing when he began speaking about his career.

I’m humbled to be honored by the city,” he began, “because if you think about it, the only thing I’ve done over the last 50 years is start fights that other people finish.

I’ve grown up in the greatest fight city in the world,” he continued. “Some of the greatest fighters of all time have fought for mehall of fame fightersbeginning with my first love, Bennie Briscoe in 1969, and going all the way up through one of my fighters winning a world title in Bejing, China a couple years ago by the name of Jason Sosa.

He closed his remarks with a story about playingCowboys & Indiansas a kid, and how he thought it would be so cool if he could just play the game as an adult, instead of going to work every day. “Искрено, that’s what my career has been like,” рече тој, and thanked the Council for the honor.

Peltz was joined in attendance by his wife, Linda, and his protege and the promoter of Friday’sBlood, Sweat and 50 Години” fight card at 2300 Арена, Мишел Rosado.

RAGING BABE PRESENTS: PELTZ BOXING 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OCTOBER 4 АТ 2300 ARENA

Philadelphia’s boxing community to come together
To markThe Boy Wonder’s” 50-year milestone




PHILADELPHIA, Па–J Russell Peltz was 22 years old when he promoted his first boxing card 50 years ago at the legendary Blue Horizon. На здравје. 4, Peltz will celebrate half a century as a boxing promoter with a card at the 2300 Arena that will reflect his reputation for promoting Philly vs. Philly, no-quarters-given bouts.


The eight-fight card, promoted by Raging Babe, will feature junior welterweight Victor Padilla, of Berlin, Њу Џерси, by way of Vieques, Порторико, во главниот настан. Padilla, who is promoted by DiBella Entertainment, is undefeated in five fights, all by way of knockout, and is considered by Peltz and others to be a future world champion. Peltz will serve as matchmaker for the event.


It has been nearly 20 years since Peltz received the Long and Meritorious Service award from the Boxing Writers Association of America and Philadelphia Sportswriters Association, followed in 2004 by his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. While others might have considered retirement, Peltz has gone on to promote more than 150 additional events, bringing his total number of promoted shows to nearly 1,000. He has promoted or co-promoted more than 40 world championship fights.


After starting his career as sports editor of the Temple Newsthe daily student newspaper at Temple Universityand then on the sports copy desk at the Evening and Sunday Bulletin, Peltz traded in his typewriter for the roller coaster that is professional boxing. He was dubbedThe Boy Wonder,” when he sold out the 1,346-seat Blue Horizon in his first event on Sept. 30, 1969, a night that featured a middleweight main event between Bennie Briscoe, Филаделфија, and Tito Marshall, of Panama. The standing-room-only crowd was 1,606.


In more recent years, he’s taken Michelle Rosado (aka Raging Babe) under his wing, mentoring her and showing her the ins and outs of the boxing business with his unique brand of tough love.


I can think of no one better to promote my 50th Anniversary Celebration,” said Peltz. “I have been able to sit in the passenger seat the last couple years while Michelle drove and I’m excited to share this special event with her.


It seems like yesterday I was sitting outside the Blue Horizon in North Philly, selling tickets out of my car for my first card after the box office closed for the day. From there to the old Arena in West Philly, then to The Spectrum in South Philly, it’s been quite a ride. Атлантик Сити, Лас Вегас, Европа, South America, the OrientI cannot believe it’s been half a century.


Розова: “It’s an honor to put on this card with and for Russell’s 50th. He has been an incredible mentor and friend, and I think I have looked forward to this celebration of his legacy even more than he has.


Tickets toPeltz Boxing 50th Anniversary Celebrationare priced $50, $70 и $90. They can be purchased online at www.2300arena.com или со повик 215-758-2173 and/or 215-765-0922. Врати се отвори во 6:30 pm and first bout is at 7:30 часот.

VALDEZ VS. RAMIREZARIZONA’S FIRST SEVEN-ROUND FIGHT


Bout headlines Guerra De Gallos at Casino Del Sol

Тусон, Аризона, НА – Октомври. 23 – When Tucson’s Jensen Ramirez (6-2-3, 1КО) squares off with NogalesThomas Valdez (16-4-2, 6КО) at the Casino Del Sol’s AVA Amphitheater, јасt will be the first seven-round bout in Arizona’s history. The featherweight bout headlines the Nov. 17 Настанот, 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. Розова, 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” Едвин “Chu ChuMalave vs. Харолд Вестон, Џуниор. 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, Октомври 25 at Casino Del Sol’s Paradiso Lounge at 2 вечер. 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 24-ти февруари card at The Showboat Hotel featuring Thomas LaManna and Gabriel Bracero

ATLANTIC CITY – Февруари 20, 2018Boxing in Atlantic City has been prevalent for more than 45 години. 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 Февруари 24 card at The Showboat Hotel that will feature Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna vs. Габриел “Тито” Bracero in a 10-round battle for the WBC Fecarbox Welterweight championship.

I did my first fight in 1973,said 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. Август 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.

“Подоцна, 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 тогаш) and never got that kind of exposure, just on PRISM. Всушност, Fletcher already had been on NBC once, beating Norberto Sabater.

2. Септември 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, Питсбург, Па, 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. Март 13, 1983 from ResortsJeff ChandlerGaby Canizalez (АБЦ)

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, над 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. Март 2, 1985 from the Sands HotelGary Hinton vs Aaron Pryor (АБЦ)

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. Ноември 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 КО), од Бруклин, Њујорк; super middleweight Darren Goodall (5-0, 4 КО), на New Milford, Њу Џерси; middleweight Omar Kabary Salem (1-0), од Бруклин, Њујорк; super lightweight Jahmal Dyer (4-0, 2 КО), Балтимор, Д-р.

Peltz Бокс ја прослави 46-та годишнината


Во почетокот…
Додека се подготвува за Во петокот Порторико Бокс класичен на 2300 Арената во Филаделфија, промотор Ј Расел Peltz, Меѓународната боксерска сала на славните, класа на 2004, потсетува неговиот старт во бокс 46 години.

Јас денес го слават, или можеби набљудуваат-46-та годишнина од мојата прва борба, како бокс промотор. Можев да се чекаше уште четири години да ја напише оваа приказна, но тоа се чини како долго време од сега и со уште подолго залог за да се постигне таа пресвртница.

Видов само неколку минути на мојот прв бокс картичка. Беше септември. 30, 1969, на Blue хоризонт-сеуште легендарниот-а јас бев зафатен во благајните со мајка, продажба на билети за последниот од 1,606 луѓето што ги гмечи во таа вечер да се види средна Бени Briscoe уништи Маршал Тито во своите реванш. Ние всушност се претвори народот таа ноќ и тоа е нешто што никогаш не би го сторил повторно. Што бев размислување?

Имаше недоразбирање со Унијата, кој испорачува продавачи на билетот, па кога тие не успеале да покажат, Јас најмен мама-гратис, се разбира, и таа помага да се продаваат билети.

Бев 22 години, 15 месеци по дипломирањето на Универзитетот Темпл и помалку од 30 дена отстранети од работа со полно работно време на вработените во спортот Вечерна билтени. Имав посакувана бокс победи на Билтенот, но добив нетрпеливи кога Џек Фрид, бокс писател, доби продолжување на задолжително неговото пензионирање на возраст 65 и јас не сум бил за да се врткаат околу чекање за него да се пензионираат или, како тато би рекол, ослободат од кофа.

Па јас не она што на секои 22-годишниот колеџ град кој беше подигнат на престижната Главната линија не би го направил, станав бокс промотор.

Сум му заштедил околу $5,000 во колеџ, бидејќи имав работено со полно работно време на она што тие го нарекуваат Јастог Shift на Билтенот, со почеток на летото по мојот помлад година во храмот. Јас работев од до полноќ 8 сум, уредување приказни, пишување наслови и наслови и водење повторно пишува.

Тоа беше по Олимписките година во Philly и имаше талент на секој агол улица. Се сеќавам на крајот на летото 1969, возење до Колумбија Авенија-сега Сесил Б. Мур-и вртење веднаш по 22d улица каде Колумбија се претвора во Риџ. Две згради од агол стоеше потполност наречен Кафе Роуч е.
