BOSTON (Ιούλιος 1, 2021) – Former college football star, super welterweight boxer Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams, recently defeated his first world champion, Yuri Foreman, and the veteran New Haven, Connecticut fighter’s boxing career has been revitalized.


Τον περασμένο Μάρτιο 6ου, Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs) was originally supposed to fight Foreman, who withdrew after the weigh in due to sickness. Williams stayed in training camp, took a stay busy fight, and continued preparing for Foreman.


Williams won an 8-round majority decision against Foreman (35-4, 10 KOs) two weeks ago this Saturday in Atlanta for the vacant Universal Boxing Organization (UBO) International and American Boxing Federation (ABF) ΗΠΑ super welterweight championships.


Williams dropped Foreman twice in the sixth round and won the decision by judges’ scores of 77-73, 77-73, 75-75. “Thirty-seconds more and I think I would have stopped him,” Williams said.

Επιστάτης, παλεύει έξω του Μπρούκλιν, captured the World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight World title in 2009, when he won a unanimous 12-round decision versus defending champion Daniel Santos (32-3-1). Williams and Foreman sparred many years ago at the Joe Grier Boxing Academy in Patterson, New Jersey.


“I’ve been chasing him a long time,” Williams noted. “I stayed in camp when our fight was canceled, took a confidence-building fight, and stayed ready for Yuri. He is a good boxer, not a brawler, and he was in tremendous shape. Yuri’s very intelligent in the ring and fighting him was a good learning experience for me. Για παράδειγμα, he was working behind his jab to try and get me to lunge. I had to think more in the ring against him.


“I’m sure he was disappointed after the fight, but he’s a world champion who was in against Miguel Cotto and two of his other losses were to world champions (Cotto andErislandy Λάρα). This was a huge opportunity for me. I’m excited about my career again. We’ll wait and see what fights are ahead for me.


Williams was a standout cornerback at Southern Connecticut State University who was invited to several NFL tryout camps. He came close to making the cut with the then-Oakland Raiders. “Quiet Storm” has been promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES) since he turned pro in 2013.


“This is Jimmy’s biggest win of his career,” Williams’ manager Ryan Roach (Fighter Locker) σχολίασε. “He just opened a lot of doors for himself. I’m proud of him, he worked hard. He made the sacrifices champions make. Taking out a name like Yuri Foreman is why fighter’s go to work every day. We are working on his next fight date now. Stay tuned, ‘Quiet Storm’ fans.”

The GOAT boxing trainer….. Emanuel Steward

Ένωση Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας ΗΠΑ, Τάξη του 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – The great Tommy Hearns & the late Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Αγκαλιά. (Νοέμβριος 19, 2018) – The late Emanuel Steward, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of 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, Δεκέμβριος 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) in Salt Lake City, Γιούτα.

 

 

 

 

Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 σε ηλικία 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.

 

 

 

Στην ηλικία των 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Ως ερασιτέχνης μποξέρ, he compiled a 94-3 ρεκόρ, τονίζεται από μια παράσταση χρυσό μετάλλιο στο 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.

 

 

 

Σε 1971, Steward became a part-time trainer at Kronk Gym, where he eventually guided many of the country’s top amateur boxers. Kronk Gym later became a property of Steward’s and he developed it into one of the most successful and famous boxing gyms in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward also served as National Director of Coaching for USA Boxing in the early 2000’s.

 

 

 

Throughout his incredible career, Steward reportedly trained 41 πρωταθλητές κόσμου, ίσως, the most noteworthy were Τόμας Χερνς, Lennox Lewis και Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, και Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

The last world champion Manny trained was Αστεροειδής αδώνης “Υπεράνθρωπος” Stevenson, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.

 

 

 

Emanuel would always say, knockouts πωλούν!” Stevenson fondly remembered. “He was also the first to tell me, ‘You will be a superstar and a world champion. Just make sure you don’t listen to people with bad intentions because you’ve got natural talent.He believed in me even if some people did not think I would ever become a world champion.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward impacted the lives of so many who walked through the doors of Kronk Gym,” είπε Κρις Κούλιαρι, Εκτελεστικός Διευθυντής της Ένωσης Αποφοίτων Πυγμαχίας των ΗΠΑ. “While he’s most recognized for his achievement at the professional level, his impact was significant in the amateurs. Manny serves as a model coach for USA Boxing today, and his impact will be felt for a long time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association overwhelmingly supports his induction and looks forward to honoring him as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.

For years he would come to my National Silver Gloves Tournament that I sponsored and put on in Kansa City just to show his support of the youth program,” added USA Boxing president Γιάννης Μπράουν προστεθεί. “Every year I would tell him to let me know if he was coming, so I could VIP him, and every year he would ignore me and just quietly show up. I would notice him in the crowd. I would ball him out and then we did the same thing the following year.

 

 

 

I also used to see him at big fights and he would always make me feel special by saying my company saved boxing in the seventies and eighties by providing safe, well-made, fair priced boxing equipment for the sport.

The Alumni Association thanks the support provided by many this weekend, particularly Micky Ward and Antonio Tarver, who continue to spread our mission.

 

 

 

The fact is that the vast majority of professional boxers who attend the Hall of Fame weekend at Canastota each year were at one time amateur boxers and knew each other well before they ever even turned professional,” added invaluable USABAA advisor Scully, who recruits boxers for group-sponsored events like this. “At some point in the conversations between boxers across the grounds, the topics frequently will eventually turn to their amateur days together.

I think this is great,” Jones talked about the formation of the USA Boxing Alumni Association. “Fighters who turned pro were great amateurs, but there are also a lot of amateurs who didn’t turn pro. Everybody doesn’t become champion, but they tried and gave their best, and that’s why this organization is good because all boxers are appreciated.

 

 

 

Although Hall of Fame weekend tends to focus on the professional careers of many fighters,” Cugliari concluded, “it was hard not to notice the effect that amateur boxing has had on the lives of many of these great champions. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank Ed Brophy for his generosity and support for boxing, and we look forward to a long partnership with the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

We have been in the promoting business for more than 13 χρόνια, combining both roles (fighter and promoter),” Cotto said. “Τώρα, we are able to give more attention to our fighters in terms of training.

 

 

 

Promoting is more complex because there are challenges regarding every facet of an event. Ως μαχητής, you concentrate solely on the fight, not all the details involved in promoting a successful event.

The 27-year-old Acosta is on a mission to become a Puerto Rican boxing icon like Cotto, Tito Trinidad, Wilfredo Gomez, Hector Camacho, Ο Βιλφρέντο Μπενίτεθ and so many other greats from this fertile island.

 

 

 

Acosta’s success brings back fond memories for Cotto to when he was in a similar situation as a young world champion. “He does bring back memories for me and he proves that hard work pays off,” Cotto concluded. “Tito is living the dream every boxer has when they choose to box as a living. Now is the most challenging chapter for him to expand his reign and build his legacy.

Γερμανία, United States and Latvia Play Host to WBO Bouts

 

 

 

Ο Παγκόσμιος Οργανισμός Πυγμαχία (WBO), chaired by Francisco “Paco” Valcárcel, will celebrate five interesting title fights; two of which are for world championships. The bouts will take place this Saturday, Μάιος 12.

 

 

 

Brooklyn native Saddam “World Kid” Ali (26-1, 14 KO του), coming off the most important victory of his career against legendary Puerto Rican boxer Miguel Cotto, makes the first defense of his WBO junior middleweight world title, when he faces the dangerous Mexican Jaime Munguía (28-0, 24 KO του). The fight will take place at the Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York. The fight will be televised live on HBO at 10:00 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ.

It’s going to be a classic fight of puncher against a boxer.

Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 5
ΕΠΙΣΗΜΑ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Φεβρουάριος 11, 2018) – αήττητη προοπτική Richard “Popeye ο ναυτικός Man” Ριβέρα τελείωσε off Kevin “Η Νέα Αγγλία Bully” Cobbs στον τρίτο γύρο, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας” κάρτα, που υποβλήθηκε από Ριβέρα Προσφορές Ψυχαγωγία, στο The Palladium στο Worcester, Μασαχουσέτη.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 KOs) fought once again in front of his large, traveling fanbase from Hartford, CT, capturing the vacant Universal Boxing Federation (UBF) light heavyweight title in dramatic fashion. The charismatic Hartford boxer ended his third consecutive match with what has become his trademark right-uppercut.

Rivera used his strength, energy and determined will to defeat South Boston’s Cobbs (10-3, 4 KOs), whose previous fight had been more than a year ago, when he was stopped in the second round by now world champion David Benavidez.

In only his sixth pro fight, the key question going into the bout was whether Rivera was ready to effectively step up in class to face a more experienced Cobbs. Right from the opening bell, the answer was a resounding, ναι μεν, as Rivera pounded Cobbs with powerful shots to the body and head.

Cobbs was dropped three times in the third round, one was ruled a push, and the end came when referee Jackie Morrell halted the action at the 2:51 as a reeling Cobbs was blasted backwards from the Rivera’s previously mentioned uppercut.

The beginning of the end for Cobbs (L) as Rivera sets up his vaunted uppercut

I stepped things up in the third,” Rivera εξήγησε. “He stopped throwing as many punches in the third and was ducking in. I said I wasn’t going to look for the knockout but, if it came, I’d take it. I got him with my uppercut. I respect Cobbs and thank him for giving me this opportunity.
Στο συν-χαρακτηρισμένη εκδήλωση, πατρίδα αγαπημένη Άγγλος αστυφύλακας “ΒΗ3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Σαούλ Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middleweight Troy “Omar KO καλλιτέχνης” καλλιτέχνης (5-7-1, 3 KOs), της Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Χοσέ “Rated R” Ριβέρα (4-2, 3 KOs), of Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior welterweight Omar Borðoy, Jr. (4-0-, 1 KO) used a blistering body attack to defeat Seth Basler (0-5) by way of a lop-sided four-round unanimous decision.

Junior welterweight prospect Wilfredo “η Sucaro” Ειδωλολατρικός (4-0, 2 KOs) floored veteran Bryan “The Brick” Αβραάμ (6-29-2, 6 KOs) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. Στο δεύτερο γύρο, Ειδωλολατρικός, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Σπρίνγκφιλντ, MA junior middleweight Γερανός “Κακο αγορι” Whitley (3-0) cruised to a dominating four-round unanimous decision over Cleveland’s Roger Blankenship (1-3), pitching a complete shutout in the process.

Bridgeport, CT welterweight Joe Goss (1-0) turned in an impressive pro debut, dropping Montreal’s Samuel Vasquez (1-3, 1 KO) in the second round on his way to a four-round unanimous decision.

Puerto Rican junior lightweight Luis “Lobito” Ριβέρα (4-3, 1 KOs) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), του Μπρίτζπορτ, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA light heavyweight Ακτίνα “Μπαζούκα” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 KOs) and International Muay Thai fighter, Harford’s pro boxing debuting Pawel Banasiak (0-1-0), fought to a four-round draw in an entertaining brawl.

Puerto Rican super middleweight Jelame Γκαρσία (7-0, 6 KOs), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), του Woburn, ΜΑ, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.

Undefeated N.E. prospect Omar Bordoy, Jr. Prepared to make statement at “Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας”

“Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας”
Φεβρουάριος. 10 στο Worcester, ΜΑ

WORCESTER, Μάζα. (Ιανουάριος 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, κατώτερο welterweight Omar Borðoy, Jr., has prepared to make a statement February 10ου στο “Μελλοντικές 5 της Νέας Αγγλίας”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), στο The Palladium στο Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Κονέκτικατ, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Αλέξανδρος “El Bravo” Ακροθηλεία δαντέλλας (2-4-1), σε μια τέσσερις-στρογγυλή περίοδο. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Μια μερα, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto και Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Τώρα, I’m more of a boxer, like a Pernell Whitaker ή Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.
Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — διευθυντής Α.Ι. Galante, επικεφαλής εκπαιδευτής Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi και Dave McDonoughfor his success.
I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.
Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Αβραάμ στον τέταρτο γύρο.
We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” υποστηρικτής Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.
