The GOAT boxing trainer….. Emanuel Steward

|
COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Marraskuu 19, 2018) – Myöhässä Emanuel Steward, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 osallistuminen Yhdysvaltain Boxing Alumni Association -säätiön halliin.
Toinen vuosittainen USA-nyrkkeilyalumniyhdistys ry: n kuuluisuuden hallin vastaanotto, pidetään yhdessä 2018 USA: n nyrkkeily eliitin ja nuorten kansalliset mestaruuskilpailut sekä Junior ja Prep Open, Joulukuu 2-8, pidetään joulukuussa 7, Radisson-hotellissa (215 S. Temple St.) kaupungissa Salt Lake City, Utah.
Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 iässä 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.
Iässä 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Amatöörinä nyrkkeilijä, he compiled a 94-3 ennätys, korostettu kulta-mitali suorituskyvyn 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.
Sisään 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 maailmanmestarit, ehkä, the most noteworthy were Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis ja Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, ja Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.
The last world champion Manny trained was Adonis “Supermies” Stevenson, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.
“Emanuel would always say, aihiot myy!” 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,” sanoi Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “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.”

COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Kesäkuu 11, 2018) – USA Boxing’s “Alumni Association Membership Drive Month” got off to a knockout start this past weekend in Canastota, New York, at the annual International Boxing Hall of Fame Class induction ceremonies, as nine high-profile boxers, featuring an incredible accumulate pro record of 365-51-7 (239 KOs) ja 24 major world titles, joined the growing USABAA ranks as proud, new members.
Chris Cugliari ja John Scully represented USA Boxing Alumni Association, manning tables at the IBHOF golf tournament and Memorabilia Show, to increase USABAA awareness and recruit new members.
“The spirit of amateur boxing was alive and well throughout the International Boxing Hall of Fame weekend,” explained Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “Information about the new USA Boxing Alumni Association was well received by the weekend’s guests, and esteemed alumni such as Jesse Vargas and Reggie Johnson mentioned that they are excited to become more involved. 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.”
“The amateurs, for me, was about fighting for respect,” kaksi-divisioonan maailmanmestari Junior Jones (50-6, 28 KOs); huomattava. “To go to different places and make it very far (amatöörinä), you have to learn how to conduct yourself and transact with others.”
Other new USABAA members are six-time, Kaksi jako maailmanmestari Miguel Cotto(41-6, 33 KOs); four-time, Kaksi jako maailmanmestari, sekä 1976 Olympic gold medalist and Hall of Famer, Michael Spinks (31-1, 21 KOs); Irish heavyweight who retired Mike Tyson, Kevin McBride (35-10-1, 29 KOs); two-time, Kaksi jako maailmanmestariJesse Vargas (28-2-1, 10 KOs); five time world champion and 1996 Olympic pronssimitalisti Antonio Tarver (31-6-1, 22 KOs); two-time, Kaksi jako maailmanmestari Reggie Johnson (44-7-1, 25 KOs), kolme kertaa, kolme jako maailmanmestari James Toney (77-10-3, 47 KOs); and world heavyweight contender Gerry Cooney (38-3, 24 KOs).

“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.”

It’s going to be a classic fight of puncher against a boxer. If Munguía wins, he would be placed on a select list of great Mexican boxers who have been world champions at or before 21 years of age”, said Valcárcel.
