“Collegiate Fight Night” Homecoming for two West Point Cadet Boxers Luca LoConte Botis & Jack Ward

Lämna en kommentar
Lördag, November. 11 in Winchester, MA
(L-R) – Luca LoConte Botis, head coach Ray Barone, and Jack Ward
WINCHESTER, Mäss. (Oktober 29, 2017) – “Collegiate Fight Night”, presented by the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) in association with USA Boxing, på lördag natt (7 p.m. OCH start), November 11, will be a homecoming for a pair of West Point Cadets boxers with close ties to the town of Winchester (MA), Luca LoConte Botis och Jack Ward.
Ten amateur bouts are on tap at Maurer Auditorium in Winchester Town Hall (on Mt. Vernon St.) as the Cadets of the United States Military Academy at West Point are matched against a New England all-star caliber team comprised of boxers from the Coast Guard Academy (Nya London, CT), University of Massachusetts, University of Connecticut, Trinity College and Harvard University.
West Point requires all its Cadets, male and female, to take 19 lessons of boxing and that, combined with the program’s tremendous success in competition over the years, results in its relatively high number of boxers (40) on a college boxing team. West Point voluntary head boxing coach Ray Barone is a military retiree who taught at West Point.
“Luca and Jack work hard in the gym and are leaders amongst their peers,” Coach Barone said. “They are top-of-the-line guys and we’re fortunate to have both on our team. West Point is a high-end academic school, like an Ivy League school, and we aren’t allowed to recruit boxers.
“We have another great group of boxers this year. It’s always, ‘Yes, sir; inte, sir’ and they’re all very articulate. Luca and Jack, like other boxers on our team, are very respectful. Luca is a very good boxer who could very well be in the Fight of the Night. Jack came here as a football player and he’ll be in his first boxing match on November 11th.”
LoConte Botis and Ward, who has close to a 4.0 GPA, are sophomores who aspire to be Infantry officers upon graduation from West Point.
Luca attended West Point Prep School for one year before entering West Point Military Academy. EN 2015 graduate of Winchester High School, he started boxing at a young age, capturing top honors in the New England Junior Olympics, and he developed his skills at Peter Welch’s Gym in South Boston, as well as with the Rivera brothers at the Somerville Boxing Club.
Because he always intended to box at West Point, Luca contacted boxing officials there when he was still in high school, and he knew the coaches and boxers before he officially got there. Med 18 (11-7) amateur matches under his belt, Luca has invaluable experience in a sport he passionately views as a lifestyle, much more than a sport
“I am from Winchester and look at this show as a homecoming,” Luca remarked. “I fought there once as a freshman and now I want to show everybody at home that I’ve grown. I’m no longer a boy, I’m growing into a man, and boxing has a lot to do with that. Styles make fights and I know who I’m fighting. I plan to relax in the ring and give everybody a real show. I’m going to have a lot of fun, alltför, and leave with a smile on my face.
“I become a better version of myself, varje dag, by getting in the ring. Boxing takes its toll on the body and mind but, if I have a tough day academically or during military training, I get that anger out in the gym. Boxing is a release for me. It reminds me why I’m here. What I overcome in the ring, I can do in any other way. I plan to compete in the Golden Gloves this year and as an officer, I will lead men and women soldiers.”
Ward grew-up in Hampton, NH, but he has roots in Winchester, which he considers his second home. Jack attended Salisbury School, i Connecticut, and he was recruited as a football player. He decided not to play football at West Point and, despite having no prior experience as a boxer, he joined the West Point Boxing Team after meeting Coach Barone and some members of the squad.
“I love competing, discipline and conditioning and I’ve never been in as good shape as I am now as a boxer,” Jack explained. “Boxing adds to my overall development, mentalt och fysiskt, and the it will help me become a more effective leader: Calm under pressure, in och ut ur ringen.
“Because my entire mother’s side is from Winchester, my extended family lives in Winchester, which is like home for me. I’m very happy to be boxing for the first time there and I plan on having a great outing.”
Former professional world champions “Irländsk” Micky Ward (Lowell) – no relations to Jack Ward — och Jose Antonio “Den Gallo” Rivera (Worcester) will be special guests at “Collegiate Fight Night”.
Seacoast Ticket Agency is the exclusive online (www.seacoastticket.com) och telefon(1.800.382.5242) ordering ticket service for “Collegiate Fight Night”.

Iceman John Scullys 6:e officiella amatörboxningsträff

Lämna en kommentar

Lördag, Mars 18, 2017
12:00 Noon (tills runt 3 pm)
@ Moniques Lounge (aka 108 Vardagsrum)
181 East 108th Street
East Harlem, New York
10029
Jag är stolt över att officiellt tillkännage min sjätte officiella amatörboxningsträff som kommer att äga rum i mars 18 på Monique's Lounge i Harlem, New York. Jag förväntar mig det överlägset största valet av någon av de tidigare 5 återföreningar som hölls två gånger på Rival Boxing i Las Vegas, en gång på Jimmy's Corner på Manhattan och en gång vardera på Connecticuts Mohegan Sun och Foxwoods kasinon.
Av det över 100 boxare som deltar så här långt, bland dem förväntar jag mig sådana 1988 OS-silvermedaljören Riddick Big Daddy Bowe, NYC Golden Gloves Champ “Förgifta” Junior Jones, 1984 olympisk mästare Mark Breland, 1974 Nationell olympisk mästare för juniorer Marlon Starling, 1996 USA:s olympiska lagkapten Lawrence Clay-Bey och 1988 National Golden Gloves Champion Mark “Alltför Sharp” Johnson.
På mina tidigare återträffar, inklusive den senaste som hölls i Rival Boxing Store i Las Vegas den November 18, vi har haft sådana som Roy Jones Jr., Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos, 1992 Montell Griffin från Olympia, tidigare trefaldiga världsmästarna Mike McCallum och Iran Barkley, och “Fighter” och irländska Micky Ward närvarande.
Bland de mest speciella stunderna på mina återträffar, vi hade Mike McCallum och Alex Ramos, som mötte varandra i semifinalerna i 1980 NYC gyllene handskar, återanslut i Las Vegas sent 2014, vi hade Luis Ortiz och Lawrence Clay-Bey, som sammanfördes 2015 på Foxwoods efter att inte bara inte ha sett varandra 38 ÅR men efter att inte ens veta att de slogs mot varandra 1977 tills bara några dagar innan de återförenades och i NYC under sommaren 2015 vi hade 1984 New York City gyllene handskar 156 pundmästare och tvåa Dennis “Magikern” Milton och Jesse Lanton ansluter igen.
Alla media som vill delta i evenemanget i Harlem, New York i mars 18 är mer än välkomna att vara en del av festligheterna.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=htZpAj5JPHE&feature=youtu.be ...förre mästaren Michael Second To Nunn ringde in till min amatörboxareträff i Las Vegas förra året för att prata med f.d. (1986) motståndaren Alex “The Bronx Bomber” Ramos.
