**CLASS SA 2021 INDUCTEE QUOTES & HULAGWAY**

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)

Create a great offer by adding words like “free” “personalized” “complimentary” o “customized.” A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like “for a limited time only” o “lamang 7 remaining”!

Bill Verigan: “Whether a boxer is in the Hall of Fame or not, sila sa pagbansay sa lisud nga, compete hard and have overcome hard losses. Kaayo ko, very thankful to be here today. Thank you so much.”

(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Henry Hascup, Shannon Briggs, Bob Duffy & Tommy Gallagher

Shannon Briggs: “Let’s go champ! Let’s go champ. Let’s go champ. This is amazing. I grew up in Brooklyn and lived in Brownsville. I weighed less than 2 pounds when I was born and asthmatic. I was bullied growing up in Brownsville, but I made it. We lost our home. Tough times growing up. I had to fight. I can’t believe I’m in the Hall of Fame. My aunt said, ‘We going to make it.’ She’s here today.

“I fell into boxing. I was never into sports. I can’t catch and still can’t dribble. But when I put gloves on, something about me changed, and nobody could do anything to me. No more bullying. I went from sleeping on the train or in the gym to traveling around the world. Nobody believed in me until Vito Antuofermo said, ‘This kid can be something.’ I just turned 50 and I’m up here with Vito. I won the Golden Gloves when I was homeless. This is all unexpected. I never though I’d be a boxer. I put gloves on and got busy. I started winning. Boxing helped me stay out of jail, selling drugs, or running the streets. I became heavyweight champion of the world. Shout out to everybody who believed in me. A lot are here today. Salamat, guys. Let’s go champ!"

(L-R) – Jack Hirsch & John Turner

Johnny Turner: I want to thank everyone for having me here today. I want to thank my trainers and Joe DeGuardia for believing in me. My most prestigious fight was with Wilfredo Benitez, and I was in the move, ‘Raging Bull.’ I’m a very lucky guy.”

(L-R) – Diamante, Ryan O’Leary, Larry Barnes, Melvina Lathan & Bob Duffy

Larry Barnes: “I’m going to be short; I can’t match Shannon. Let’s go champ! I’m very excited to be here with all these champions. I want to thank all the people in boxing for believing in me. Wala gayud ako mihatag sa. Most of all, I want to thank me for putting in all the hard work.”

(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Michael Bentt, Bobby Cassidy, Jr. & Bob Duffy

Michael Bentt: “It’s wonderful to be back in New York. I didn’t get here by myself. I want to thank four groups: my mentors, sponsors and facilitators, boxers who inspired me, and my allies. I was captain of the USA Boxing Team and got a call to be in the movie ‘Ali’ (he played Sonny Liston). Young people should seek people like those who inspired me: Muhammad Ali, Mark Breland, Mike McCallum, Shannon Briggs, Evander Holyfield, Ronald Turner and Monte Barrett. They fueled my flame.”

(L-R) – Jill Diamond & JoAnn Aquilera

Jill Diamond: “I want to thank my two biggest mentors, Jose Suliaman and Joe Dwyer. I’d like to thank my New York family who still think I go to the Golden Globes instead of the Golden Gloves. And thanks to my WBC family that embraced me, especially Mauricio Suliaman, who said to come join us. I do know that in the big boxing family, if anybody hurt somebody, they would always help. I wish, especially with what’s going on today, others settled things in the ring like us. The world would be a better place.”

(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Mike Silver, Bobby Cassidy, Jr. & Bob Duffy

Mike Silver: “I’m very humbled and appreciative to the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame selection committee to receive this honor. It’s so gratifying coming from peers. Boxing is the most colorful sport. In my books I give my perception to be informative, educational, and entertaining. I used to check newsstands for the new Ring magazine and Boxing News. I respected boxers and fell in love with the sport. One thing will never change in boxing. In the ring it’s about hitting without getting hit, the science of the sport. Boxers’ stories are not written. It takes their blood, sweat and tears. And that will never change.”

(L-R) – Don & Kipp Elbaum

Don Elbaum: “I’m honored and thankful by this. What a run it’s been running shows. I’m still doing it. I remember putting shows on at Madison Square Garden. No sport has 1-on-1 world champions like boxing. Many countries have kings, but there is only one in boxing, and that’s the world heavyweight champion.”

(L-R) – Tommy Gallagher, Donny Lalonde & Bobby Cassidy, Jr.

Donny Lalonde: “I would be here without Bobby Cassidy. Bobby Cassidy, Sr. was the number one light heavyweight in the world. He was also a trainer who taught me what it took to be a boxer. Karon, I’m in the New York Hall of Fame with him and his son, Bobby Cassidy, Jr. I was from Canada, and I was told that being a champion from there was worthless. When you grow up in a broken home, you really need somebody to believe in you. Don Majeski believed in me. Tommy Gallagher and Bobby Cassidy made my spirit rise high. I was ready to take on the world. Everybody said I had no business being in the wring with Eddie Davis, after he went 15 rounds with Michael Spinks. I knocked him out 22 seconds into the second round to win the world title. Thanks to the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame for having me here.”

(L-R – John & Wiliam Verderosa

John Verderosa: “I appreciate the accolades. This is fantastic. Forty years later, it blows my mind that people remember me from so long ago. I’m so honored. Thank you so much.”

(L-R) – Dave Diamante, Henry Hascup, Verno Phillips and his son K.J. Phillips, & Bob Duffy

Verno Phillips: “New York Hall of Fame, bata. I made it! I put in the work. Like my grandmother said, ‘You got to go out and run.’”

All applicants must be licensed (NYSAC, NJSAC or USA Boxing) and forms must be submitted to NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy by email (depcomish@aol.com) or call him (1.516.313.2304) with the required information.

“Gyms are closed, and boxing has been suspended indefinitely,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy said. “Most boxing trainers, cut-men and other boxing personnel are independent contractors, so they do not have any income right now during this pandemic. They have families to support, rent to pay, food to put on the table, and other critical expenses. We want to help them by establishing this fund. We’re not in the position to give each applicant a large stipend, but we are able to provide a small payment to temporarily help them a little bit. We’re committed to doing this for the month of April, at the very least, and then we’ll will revisit extending payments until boxing returns, as long as there is money available in this fund. It’s the right thing to do!"

“Ring 8 is furthering our goals to assist boxers and boxing people in New York during this crisis,” Ring 8 president Charlie Norkus, Jr. added. “It has been our mission since the very beginning. We are pleased to join the New York Boxing Hall of Fame in this endeavor.”

World heavyweight contender Lou Savarese to be inducted into New York State Boxing HOF

Marso 7, 2020 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

*klase sa 2020 Induction Dinner on Sunday, Abril 19*

NEW YORK (Marso 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion **Lou Savarese** (46-7, 38 KOs) is living the dream, ingon nga sila nanag-ingon, preparing for his upcoming induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF).

As one of the 28-member Class of 2020, the popular Savarese will be formally inducted at the ninth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner, ***Domingo sa hapon (12:30-5:30 sa gabii. UG), Abril 19***, sa Russo ni On Ang Bay sa Howard Beach, New York.

“I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, Lou Savarese,” Presidente sa NYSBHOF **Bob Duffy** miingon. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, sa ug gikan sa mga singsing. His friends and family know that this honor is well deserved.”

Savarese was a local favorite, born in the Bronx and from Greenwood Lake, who was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion having fought at the famed Madison Square Garden.

“This is truly amazing,” Savarese spoke about being inducted into the NYSBHOF. “I’m a New York boxing historian, going back to the 1920’s of New York boxing history. It’s so nice to have fought in the best place, New York, the epicenter of boxing.

Savarese turned pro April 30, 1989, pagtuktok sa **Santiago Smith** in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 pro away, highlighted by his 36^th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of **Buster Mathis, Jr**. for the vacant United States Boxing Association (USBA) heavyweight title. It also set up a high profile 1997 showdown sa **George foreman** sa Atlantic City, when Savarese lost a 12-round split decision (114-113, 112-115, 110-118) for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) championship.

Savarese says his opening-round knockout of former world heavyweight champion **Santiago “Buster” Douglas** sa 1998 for the International Boxing Association World heavyweight title is his greatest accomplishment in the ring.

“I was a big underdog in the Douglas fight,” Savarese remembered. “He had a good jab. That’s No. 1f or me. Winning my first New York Golden Gloves title (1985 sa diha nga siya mihunongJonathan Hill in the finals) in front of my fans, family and friends was my amateur highlight.”

In addition to the aforementioned IBA World, Savarese also won the WBO Inter-Continental, and IBA Continental championships.

Beside former world champions Douglas and Witherspoon, as well as Mathis Jr., Savarese also defeated world-class heavyweights such as **David Bostice**, **Lance Whitaker** and Leo Nolan.
“This is special. I know most of the guys going in and it’s an honor to be amongst them. I fought six world champions (**Evander Holyfield**, **Mike Tyson**, Foreman, Witherspoon, Douglas, ug **Riddick Bowe** diha sa mga amateurs. **Max Kellerman** (fellow NYSBHOF Class of 2020 inductee) once said I’m from the old-school of boxing. Maayo kana, I love that.”

Karon 54, Savarese lives in Houston, Texas, where he runs Savarese Promotions, as well as two gyms, in which he trains white-collar boxers. “It’s going to be fun seeing family and friends from back since I first started in boxing,” Savarese concluded. “A ton of people are coming (to the induction dinner), including some from Houston. I turned pro there in 1990, moved back to New York between 2000-2008, and have lived in Houston since then.”

But Lou Savarese will always embody what it is to be a New York boxer.

Ang ubang buhi nga mga boksidor nga nagpadulong sa NYSBHOF naglakip sa tulo ka higayon nga World light heavyweight title challenger **Jorge Ahumada** (42-8-2, 22 KOs), sa Woodside, Queens by way of Argentina; (1975-78) WBC super featherweight World Champion **Alfred “salsero” hagdanan** (53-14-3, 31 KOs), sa New York City pinaagi sa Puerto Rico; WBC super featherweight World title challenger **Freddie “The Pitbull” Liberatore** (20-4-1, 11 KOs), sa Bayside, Queens; WBC middleweight World Champion ug upat ka higayon nga New York Golden Gloves nga mananaog **Dennis “Ang Mago” Milton** (16-5-1, 5 KOs), sa Bronx; ug WBA super middleweight title World title challenger **Merqui “El Corombo” Sosa** (34-9-2, 27 KOs), of Brooklyn by way of the Dominican Republic.

Arthur Mercante, Jr. sa pag-apil sa amahan sa New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Marso 22, 2019 FNU47 Leave sa usa ka comment

Arthur Mercante, Jr. mao ang ikatulo nga tawo sa ring alang sa Marso 13, 1999 world heavyweight title fight sa Madison Square Garden tali ni Evander Holyfield ug Lennox Louis nga natapos sa usa ka draw

Sa Domingo, Abril 28, Induction Dinner

***Don King, Jimmy Cannon, Jimmy Carter & Wilfredo Benitez headline Klase sa 2019 inductee***

NEW YORK (Marso 20, 2019) – Internasyonal nga boxing referee **Arthur Mercante, Jr.** mouban sa iyang amahan, sa ulahing bahin sa **Arthur Mercante, Sr**., sa New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) nga mahimong unang amahan-anak nga nasulod sa NYSBHOF.

Ang 24 ka miyembro nga Klase sa 2019 i-induct sa ikawalong tinuig nga NYSBHOF induction dinner sa ***Domingo sa hapon (12:30-5:30 sa gabii. UG), Abril 28***, sa Russo ni On Ang Bay sa Howard Beach, New York.

Negosyante, Jr. usa ka amateur nga boksidor nga napildi sa 1976 New York Golden Gloves sa **Juan LaPorte** (NYSBHOF inductee, klase sa 2014). “Nabatyagan ko nga gibunalan ko siya, ug gusto ko nga mahimong pro,” Negosyante, Jr. nagpatin-aw kung giunsa niya pag-officiating. “Niingon ang akong amahan nga dili basta nagpuyo ko sa iyang balay, pero nisugyot siya nga sulayan nakog refer.”

Negosyante, Jr. nagsugod na ug referee 1979 sa mga amateurs ug mibalhin ngadto sa pro ranks in 1984. Iyang gi-refer 336 away, lakip 72 away sa titulo. Negosyante, Jr. adunay pipila ka nindot nga mga panumduman, lakip ang usa ka kataw-anan nga istorya diin siya aksidenteng gisumbag.

“Usa ka away ang akong gipasabot (unified world super middleweight title fight, sa Jan. 14, 2017 sa Barclay's Center sa Brooklyn) sa taliwala sa **Badou Jack** ug **Santiago DeGale**,” Negosyante, Jr. nahinumduman. “Nadungog nako ang 10 segundos nga pasidaan sa katapusan sa ikaunom nga hugna ug nagsugod sa pag-ihap 5-4-3-2-1. Sa sama nga panahon, Gibunalan ko ni Jack og left hook sa akong nawong, ug nalusot ko. Gipangutana ko ni Beau kung okay ra ba ko. Nakaingon ko nga okay ra ko. Ulahi, niingon siya nga naigo ko niya ug maayo nga shot ug naa koy tag-iya niya og maayo nga shot. Human sa away, giingnan ko niya nga mahimo nako ang usa ka maayo nga shot.”

Negosyante, Jr. nagtuo nga ang yawe aron mahimong maayong referee mao ang pagbungkag sa mga manggugubat sa mga clinches ug pagpabilin nga wala sa litrato, tungod kay ang away dili bahin sa referee.

Usa sa iyang labing halandumon nga mga higayon sa iyang karera mao ang pagtrabaho sa parehas nga pasundayag sa iyang amahan, nga mao ang 81 panahon, sa unang higayon sa 1981 sa Radio City Music Hall sa New York City. Amahan nagtrabaho sa nag-unang kalihokan sa taliwala sa **Roy Jones, Jr**. ug **David Telesco**, Negosyante, Jr. nagdumala sa away tali **David Izon** ug **Derrick Jefferson**.

Karon, Negosyante, Jr. nagpadulong sa NYSBHOF aron moapil sa iyang amahan. “Wala gyud ko maghunahuna nga naa ko sa bisan unsang Hall of Fame,” Negosyante, Jr. mikomentaryo. “Sa dihang miabot ang tawag niadtong Enero 27 (2019) gikan sa **Bob Duffy** (Presidente sa NYBHOF), dili unta kini moabot sa mas espesyal nga adlaw, kay motalikod na unta akong amahan 99 nga adlaw.

“Kini usa ka kadungganan, ilabina ang pagsulod niini nga klase. Nagtrabaho ko og away tali ni Michael Olajide ug Iran Barkley ug si Michael mosulod karong tuiga. Don King, siyempre, ug nagtrabaho ako daghang mga salida kauban si Wayne Kelly. Ring 8 kanunay nga usa ka dako nga organisasyon. Gusto nakong pasalamatan ang tanan nga nalambigit.”
