SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® REPORTER JIM GRAY CALLS INDUCTION INTO INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME AN ‘UNLIKELY AND TREMENDOUS HONOR’

Skryf 'n opmerking

Veteran Reporter Joins Former Play-By-Play Announcer Steve Albert As Sixth From SHOWTIME Sports® Sedert 2012 To Be Presented With Boxing’s Highest Honor

NEW YORK (Junie 11, 2018) – SHOWTIME Sports® veteran reporter Jim Gray was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on Sunday in Canastota, N.Y., joining former colleague and longtime SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING play-by-play announcer Steve Albert in receiving boxing’s most prestigious honor.

 

 

 

Gray and Albert became the fifth and sixth SHOWTIME Sports talent enshrined in the Hall of Fame since 2012. They join boxing analyst Al Bernstein (2012), ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr. (2013), analyst and historian Steve Farhood (2017) and play-by-play announcer Barry Tompkins (2017).

 

 

 

In front of a large crowd that included close friends Mike Tyson, Don King, Deontay Wilder, Julius Irving, Jerry Richardson, Stedman Graham, Bob Costas and many others, the 59-year-old Southern California resident Gray reflected on 40-plus years of covering the sport of boxing. “My journey today has been an unlikely one,” Gray said during his induction speech. “The Boxing Hall of Fame immortalized all of these great fighters. So this magnificent honor comes with tremendous humility. How could this happen? I never took a punch.”

 

 

 

Gray, who started with SHOWTIME in 1994, was honored with a Special Individual Achievement Emmy Award – he currently has 12 Emmy’s in total – in 1997 for his interview of Mike Tyson following the heavyweight’s second loss to Evander Holyfield, the infamous “bite fight.” The National Sportswriters and Sportscasters Association also named that interview the “Sports Broadcast Story of the Year.” Daarbenewens, the American Sportscasters Association has voted Gray “Sportscaster of the Year” in 1998 and ‘99.

 

 

 

Gray chose Tyson to introduce him on Sunday during the induction ceremony. “It’s ironic,” said Gray. “The man who threatened to kill me in public is now inducting me into the Hall of Fame.”

 

 

 

“This award is way, way overdue,” an emotional Tyson said of his good friend. “I’m very proud of you. Well-deserved.”

 

 

 

With this past weekend’s induction ceremony, SHOWTIME Sports now boasts five current Hall of Famers featured on the network: Gray, Bernstein, Farhood, Tompkins and Lennon Jr.

 

 

 

“I am so pleased for Jim and Steve that they received this great honor,” said David Dinkins Jr., Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of SHOWTIME Sports. “Jim Gray’s interviews and reporting have been an integral part of our SHOWTIME telecast from the beginning. Because of his skills and instincts we have been able to cover the events in depth. There have been countless times that Jim’s dogged pursuit of a story has enabled us to paint the complete picture of the event.”

 

 

 

Gray has forged one of the most memorable sports broadcasting careers in recent history, which includes a deep boxing resume. Gray has worked more than 1,200 fights and interviewed over 1,500 fighters throughout his career, insluitend 20 of his fellow Hall of Famers, such as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, George Foreman and future Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and many others ringside.

 

 

 

Outside of the ring, Gray has covered nearly every sport and landed some of the industry’s most lucrative interviews, including sit-downs with Michael Phelps, Tiger Woods, Tom Brady and Michael Jordan.

 

 

 

Albert spent two decades calling fights for SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING. Albert called more than 300 fights during his tenure with SHOWTIME, including Julio Cesar Chavez vs. Greg Haugen in front of 130,000 fans at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, Tyson-Holyfield I & II and the epic Corrales vs. Castillo series.

 

 

 

“Steve Albert’s incredible preparation and perfect timing were the reasons for his memorable fight calls,” Dinkins said. “Steve was the voice of SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING through the high profile fights of the Tyson and Chavez eras. He will be forever linked to those shows which helped establish our network as a major broadcaster of boxing.”

 

 

 

Both Gray and Albert earned induction into the Observer category, which recognizes outstanding achievements of print and media journalists, publishers, skrywers, historians, photographers and artists.

al “Ys” Cole & “Baby” Joe Mesi geëerd om opgeneem te word in die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Skryf 'n opmerking

Sondag, April 29, Induksie Aandete

Kid Chocolate, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe, Sam Taub, Bob & Murray Goodman hoof nuwe klas

NEW YORK (April 9, 2018) – Voormalige wêreldkruisergewigkampioen al “Ys” Cole en onoorwonne, Geen.; 1 swaargewig aanspraakmaker “Baby” Joe MESI is beide uiters geëerd en dankbaar om opgeneem te word, saam met 21 ander in die Klas van 2018, in die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

 

 

 

Die sewende jaarlikse NYSBHOF induksie ete gehou sal word Sondag middag (12:30-5:30 namiddag. EN), April 29, weereens by Russo's On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.

 

 

Cole (35-16-3, 16 Uitklophoue), wat van Rockland County is, geveg professionele tussen 1989 en 2011, het sy eerste gewen 15 en 27 van sy aanvanklike 28 pro gevegte. Hy het die Internasionale Boksfederasie verower (IBF) Cruiserweight Wêreldkampioenskap in 1992, toe hy 'n eenparige besluit van 12 rondes oor James Warring gewen het (14-1). Cole het vier suksesvolle wêreldtitelverdedigings gemaak voordat hy na swaargewig opgeskuif het.

 

 

 

 

 

“Ek het geweet ek sal eendag inkom en ek is geëerd om opgeneem te word in die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame, veral met hierdie klas, want ek ken 'n paar ander vegters wat ingaan soos Lou Del Valle en Terrance Alli.” Cole gesê. “Ek was bekend as 'n skare-plesier, opwindende vegter, en mense wat my dopgehou het, het altyd geweet ek sou in 'n goeie stryd wees met goeie uitruilings. Ek het wel in die skaduwees van geveg (Mike) Tyson en Roy (Jones. Jr.).

 

 

 

“Ek het in die weermag saam met Ray Mercer geveg, Evander Holyfield in sparring gesteek. My beste stryd, al, het my die seerste gemaak. Ek was so skerp teen 'n vegter van Kronk Gym, Vincent Boulware, in my derde wêreldtitel verdediging daardie jaar (1993). Boulware het ses van sy laaste sewe gevegte met vier uitklophoue gewen en ek was net besig om 'n ordentlike naam te word, As ek hom slaan, Ek was veronderstel om teen Tommy Hearns of Iran Barkley te veg, wat albei besig was om op te skuif na cruiserweight. Ek het die beste geveg van my loopbaan gehad, maar ek kon nie enige van die ander wêreld-kruisergewigkampioene kry om teen my te veg nie. Ek het net vier gevegte in die volgende drie jaar gehad. Ek het opgeskuif na swaargewig omdat dieselfde ouens wat ek geklop het toe hulle my verpligte uitdager was (Uriah Grant & Nate Miller) hul pad terug gewerk in die verpligte posisie.”

 

 

 

Cole het in Atlantic City grootgeword, waar hy geveg het 18 keer, en hy het 'n casino-eienaar leer ken, Donald Trump. “Ons het gekuier,” Cole onthou. “Trump het my na van sy private partytjies genooi. Ek het nooit gedink hy sou president wees nie!”.

 

 

 

Mevi (36-0, 29 Uitklophoue) was so gewild in Buffalo, hy is beskou as die stad New York se derde sportfranchise (Rekeninge en Sabres). 'n Top Amerikaanse amateur, “Baby Joe” professioneel geveg tussen 1997 en 2007, optel 36 oorwinnings sonder ’n nederlaag, tog het hy nooit 'n wêreldtitel geskiet nie weens 'n mediese probleem. So hoog gerangskik op nr. 1 deur die World Boxing Council (WBC) Mesi is deur die Nevada-kommissie geskors, nadat hy die voormalige wêreldkampioen Vassily Jirov by wyse van 'n 10-ronde eenparige besluit verslaan het, weens 'n kopbesering (brein bloeding).

 

 

 

Mesi was feitlik op die swartlys in boks, twee volle jaar in die ring verloor, terwyl hy regstappe gevolg het om herlisensieer te word, wat hy uiteindelik maar slegs deur 'n paar kommissies was. Joe het sewe keer baklei nadat hy herlisensieer is, maar hy was ongelukkig beperk in terme van waar hy kon veg, en hy het nooit die verhewe status wat hy eens beklee het, herwin nie. Benewens Jirov, Mesi het bekendes soos Monte Barrett verslaan, DeVarryl Williamson en Jorge Luis Gonzalez.

 

 

 

“Dit is 'n goeie tyd vir my,” Mesi het kommentaar gelewer oor sy komende induksie. “Ek is nederig en geëerd om in dieselfde Hall of Fame te gaan met die groot name wat reeds daar is. Ek suig dit nou alles in.

 

 

 

“Ek is ietwat verwyder van boks, maar net die besigheid einde. Ek is steeds ’n groot boksaanhanger en volg die sport. Vandag, Ek is getroud met drie kinders en verkoop mediese toestelle vir 'n lewe. Boks is steeds my passie, my liefde, en vandat ek die oproep gekry het (dat hy in die NYSBHOF gaan), Ek het aan al die herinneringe gedink. Ek wil graag nog 'n paar TV-aankondigings doen in boks en, miskien eendag, begin om te bevorder. Ek sien baie uit na die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame-induksie-seremonie.”

 

 

 

Lewende boksers op pad na die NYSBHOF sluit (Long Island) WBA lig swaargewig Lou “heuning Boy” Valley (36-6-2, 22 Uitklophoue), (sentrale Islip) IBF Junior Welterweight wêreldkampioen Jake Rodriguez (28-8-2, 8 Uitklophoue), en (Brooklyn) wêreld liggewigtitel uitdager Terrence Alli (52-15-2, 21 Uitklophoue).

Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera Finishes off Kevin Cobbs in 3 with super uppercut

“NEW ENGLAND’S FUTURE 5”

WORCESTER, Mass. (Februarie 11, 2018) – Onoorwonne vooruitsig Richard “Popeye Die Matroos Man” Rivera afgewerk Kevin “Die New England Bully” Cobbs in die derde ronde, punctuating the night with an lethal uppercut that landed right on the button, headlining last night’s “New England se toekoms 5” kaart, aangebied deur Rivera Promotions Vermaak, by Die Palladium in Worcester, Massachusetts.

The 27-year-old Rivera (6-0, 5 Uitklophoue) 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 Uitklophoue), 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, Ja, 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 verduidelik. “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.”
In die mede-featured gebeurtenis, tuisdorp gunsteling Bobby “BH3” Harris, III (2-0-1), the two-time national amateur champion, and Brazilian super middleweight Saul Almeida (0-8-2) fought to a four-round majority draw.
Super middelgewigtitel Troy “Omar KO kunstenaar” kunstenaar (5-7-1, 3 Uitklophoue), van Danbury, CT, upset intrastate rival Jose “Gegradeerde R” Rivera (4-2, 3 Uitklophoue), van Hartford, winning a six-round majority decision.
Danbury, CT junior weltergewig Omar Bordoy, 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 “die Sucaro” heidense (4-0, 2 Uitklophoue) floored veteran Bryan “die Brick” Abraham (6-29-2, 6 Uitklophoue) with a sweet right-left combination at the end of the opening round. In die tweede ronde, heidense, of Southbridge, MA., drilled Abraham who went flying across the ring and into the ropes as referee Jackie Morrell halted the bout.

Springfield, MA junior middelgewigtitel Derrick “Stout seun” 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” Rivera (4-3, 1 Uitklophoue) overcame a nasty cut over his eye to win a hard-fought four-round majority decision over Carlos Marrero, III (0-2), van Bridgeport, CT, in a non-stop action fight to the finish.

Unbeaten Springfield, MA lig swaargewig Ray “bazooka” Graceski (5-0-1, 3 Uitklophoue) 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 Garcia (7-0, 6 Uitklophoue), fighting out of Lynn, MA., remained undefeated but Nathan Schulte (0-5), van Woburn, MA, extended him the full distance for first time as a pro en route to a four-round unanimous decision.
