“Yoshida-Metcalf 2” COMPUBOX Numbers Overwhelmingly Contradict the JudgesQuestionable Scoring

Der dreimalige, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida

NEW YORK CITY (Oktober 25, 2024) – COMPUBOX numbers from this past Wednesday night’s International Boxing Federation (IBF) Women’s Bantamweight World Championship match between defending champion Miso Yoshida and challenger Shurretta Metcalf clearly do not support the judges’ controversial 10-round unanimous decision in favor of Metcalf.

The judge’s dubious scores of 99-91 (Robin Taylor), Robert Pérez (97-93) and Max DeLuca (96-94) awarded Metcalf the disputed victory. The right outcome appeared clearboth in the surprise reactions of Metcalf’s corner and also the thunderous objection from the crowd.

As the scores were read, immediate objections reigned down through the arena as Yoshida and many ringsiders looked stunned.

Metcalf’s unproductive higher work rate of wildly ineffective aggression apparently was favored more by the judges than Yoshida’s well timed and forceful jabs, which set up her more impactful power shots, as well as a much higher comparable percentage of connected punches.

According to COMPUBOX, punch-wise, Yoshida finished the fight ahead 96-64 über alle, 49-17 in jabs, 30-16 in body punches and 8-0-2 in a round-to-round breakdown of total connects. Yoshida’s masterful defense kept her opponent at a distance, resulting in a large percentage of Metcalf’s punches falling short of connecting, and striking nothing but air.

Insgesamt, Yoshida landed an astonishingly 50-percent more punches (96-64) than Metcalf, in addition to having a much higher accuracy percentage, nearly three times as great at 22-percent to her opponent’s 9-percent.

Considering her 4-inch height and 6 ½ -inch reach disadvantages, Yoshida shouldn’t have been discredited by the judges for her style – fighting on the outside, moving inside to land punches, and then returning to the outside – because it was really the only way she could defeat the much larger Metcalf. Based on COMPUBOX statistics, she did just that and should have had her hands raised in victory.

Putting aside the bizarrely lopsided scores from Taylor, if the other two judges scored the first, sixth and eighth rounds properly based on the COMPUBOX numbers, Miyo would have won the fight by way of a majority decision. Yoshida out-landed Metcalf in rounds one and eight by 100-percent and by 175-percent in round six. Inexplicably, those rounds were scored against Yoshida.

Go here to read COMPUBOX’s complete report: https://beta.compuboxdata.com/

“Yoshida vs. Metcalf 2” headlined the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment, which was broadcast live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden on ProBoxTV.

“It was an honor to once again share the ring with Shuretta,” the dejected Yoshita said shortly after the fight, “this time in the mecca of boxing, Madison Square Garden. “I felt I did more than enough to win the fight, and I don’t understand why the judges awarded my opponent for throwing wild punches that never landed and the few that did, had no effect.”

“Having watched it ringside, read disagreement in the boxing media with the outcome and now seeing these lopsided statistics in Miyo’s favor,” Yoshita’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “It is hard not to question the accuracy of the scoring. A 7-3 score is a disturbingly extreme stretch. Die 9-1 score turned a world championship fight into a tragic farce. This was a disservice to the sport.”

The ProBox TV announcers agreed on air that the 99-91 score was “absurd”. Hall of Fame boxing writer Thomas Hauser, who covered the fight live for www.tss.ib.tv, wrote the following about “Yoshita-Metcalf 2”: “Shurretta threw wild punches from long range all night. When she landed, it seemed almost by accident. The decision could have gone either way. I thought each fighter clearly won three rounds with four rounds up for grabs. 97-93 was a stretch. 99-91 reeked of being an agenda-driven scorecard.

Matt Delaglio was recently named executive director of the New York State Athletic Commission and inherited a job that has long been marked by incompetence and neglect. Delaglio is conscientious and well-qualified for the position. But he has a lot of work to do. One of the things on his ‘to-do list’ should be an overhaul of ring judging in New York. Jetzt, the judging in New York is unacceptable.”

A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model. Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine. She moved half-way around the world from Japan to New York City to enhance her pro boxing career, unable to speak English, although she is studying to learn the language.

Miyo Yoshida set to avenge loss to Shurretta Metcalf & defend her IBF Bantamweight World title

SULLIVAN MANAGEMENT

This Wednesday vs. Shurretta Metcalf on ProBox TV live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK CITY (Oktober 21, 2024) – So much has changed in the last year for three-time, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) when she enters the ring this Wednesday night (Oktober. 23) to make the first defense of her International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight title, as well as avenge a loss to her challenger, Unterlassen Sie. 1 contender Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 KOs), at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Yoshida vs. Metcalf will headline the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment and broadcast live on ProBoxTV, in the 10-round (2-minutes each) main event to celebrate and support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces in advance of Veterans Day in the latest addition of the popular Broadway Boxing Serie.

A year ago, in the inaugural “Heroes on the Hudson” card, Metcalf defeated Yoshida by way of a 10-round unanimous decision, aber doch, a month later, Yoshida answered the call to challenge IBF Bantamweight World Champion Ebanie Bridges (9-1) and the Japanese boxer was an upset winner in San Francisco via a 10-round unanimous decision (99-91, 99-91, 97-93), capturing her third world title.

“Everything changed when I received the offer two weeks before the world title I won,” Yoshida explained. “I had planned to fight if I received a nomination order, and I want to take revenge and increase my value. I can learn from my losses, so this result will be different.

“I think Metcalf maintains her boxing style with that blessed height (5' 7 ½”) because she works so hard. She is a single mother (as is Miyo) and tries many things. She can be rough with her language, but I basically respect her. I will defend and firmly avenge my loss to her to advance my story.”

Yoshida also attributed much of her success to her New York City-based team: head trainer Jimmy Sosa, his brother and assistant trainer Aurelinna, strength-and-conditioning coach Sergie Korchynskyy, and manager Keith Sullivan.

“The Sosas are like a father to me and Sergie is like my brother,” Yoshida said. “They come to listen to my lectures, and I learn important things in life, not only through boxing, but also with many kids at Cops & Kids Boxing gym in Brooklyn. Team Sosa patiently teaches me until I understand even if there is a language barrier. I appreciate that and members of Team Sosa are learning Japanese, because the team is united as one.” 4-time World Champion Jorge Linares will work her corner, and he speaks fluent Japanese.

“Keith is my manager, and he listens to me kindly and explores many possibilities for me. He understands my struggles as a single mother, in a foreign country.”

Yoshida vs. Metcalf launches the Great 8 Tournament to crown the undisputed women’s World Bantamweight Champion.

Miyo had been training regularly with veterans and active duty personal at the U.S. military bases in Japan since her July 2016 match at Camp Zama, which inspired her to move to New York. She is still supported by the people at Camp Zama and Atsugi Base.

“It is truly an honor to be managing Miyo,” Sullivan commented. “She is a three-time world champion who brings tremendous professionalism and commitment to her training. This fight has a great drama built into it because of the loss she suffered in their first fight followed by Miyo convincingly winning the world title one month later as a last-minute fill-in. This is a Do Not Miss fight. It will be an exciting fight. I am hopeful that this tournament can be the blueprint for other female divisions to keep the champions and their mandatories active. It is a win-win for all involved.”

Sullivan is a former Deputy Commissioner for the New York State Athletic Commission, who manages IBF and WBA #6 rated welterweight Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs), und WBC #9 rated super middleweight Nisa Rodriguez (2-0, 0 KOs), amongst several other professional fighters.

3-Zeit, 2-Division World Champion Miyo Yoshida fighting for her boxing legacy at home in Japan

Yoshida to defend her IBF Bantamweight World title Oct. 23 vs. Shurretta Metcalf on ProBoxTV live from The Theater at Madison Square Garden
NEW YORK CITY (Oktober 14, 2024) – Three-time, two-division World Champion Miyo Yoshida (17-4, 0 KOs) will out her developing boxing legacy in Japan on the line October 23rd, when she makes the first defense of her International Boxing Federation (IBF) bantamweight crown against No. 1 contender Shurretta “Chiccn” Metcalf (13-4-1, 2 KOs), at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Yoshida vs. Metcalf will headline the “Heroes on the Hudson 2” card, presented by DiBella Entertainment and broadcast live on ProBoxTV, in the 10-round (2-minutes each) main event to celebrate and support heroic veterans of the United States Armed Forces in advance of Veterans Day in the latest addition of the popular Broadway Boxing Serie.

One of only 23 female world champions from Japan, The 35-year-old Yoshida is only the sixth from her country to capture world titles in two or more divisions. She captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO-) Super Flyweight crown twice in 2019 und 2021.

Japan is a powerbase in men’s professional boxing with contemporary superstars such as Undisputed Junior Featherweight World Champion Naoya “The Monster” Inoue (28-0, 25 KOs) und World Boxing Council (WBC) Bantamweight World Champion Junto Nakatani (29-0, 22 KOs). Jedoch, in women’s boxing today, Yoshida is arguably the best from Japan, as well as one of the greatest female prizefighters of all-time from the Land of the Rising Son, behind only retired Japanese fighters Naoko Fujioka (19-3-1, 7 KOs), Japan’s only five-weight class female world champion, and possibly Emiko Raika (24-8-1, 10 KOs).

A single mother of daughter Mina, Miyo is known as the “Fighting Single Mother” in Japan, where she is a revered role model. Yoshida received the 2023 Most Inspirational Female Fighter award from The Ring magazine.

“I hope to further shape the way that was created by our predecessors into a better one for the next generation,” Yoshida said.

To cement her legacy, Yoshida must first get past Metcalf in their rematch, avenging Miyo’s loss by way of 10-round decision a year ago, and advance in the Great 8 Tournament to determine the undisputed women’s bantamweight world champion. Zum Glück, all of the world bantamweight champions – WBC/WBO & The Ring Champion Dina Thorslund (22-0, 9 KOs) of Denmark, IBF Ellie Scotney (9-0, 0 KOs) from the United Kingdom, and the Yoshida vs. Metcalf winner (their fight technically launches the tournament) – will compete in the Great 8 along with some of the leading contenders such as Cherneka Johnson (16-2, 6 KOs), Yulihan “La Cobritas” Luna Avila (27-4-1, 4 KOs), and Segolene “Majestic” Lefebure (18-1, 1 KO).

“Right now,” Yoshida noted, “I’m only thinking of defending my title belt. I had been hoping for unification fights since I was able to become world champion again. I was impatient with this interval between matches because it is the last chapter due to my age. If I couldn’t compete in boxing, I thought about returning to kickboxing or MMA. I didn’t want to be in between fights, and I thought it would be better for me and for women’s boxing if I became well known.”

“Japan’s boxing scene carries a rich history with a strong cultural connection to its people,” Miyo’s manager Keith Sullivan commented. “Japanese boxers honor a tradition of competitive excellence and outstanding sportsmanship. Miyo embodies these qualities as she fights for the pride of Japan. She is an exemplary champion for her native country.”

Sullivan is a former Deputy Commissioner for the New York State Athletic Commission, who manages IBF and WBA #6 rated welterweight Paddy “The Real Deal” Donovan (14-0, heavyweight prospect Pryce Taylor (4-0, 2 KOs), und WBC #9 rated super middleweight Nisa Rodriguez (2-0, 0 KOs), amongst several other professional fighters.

VERONA, N.Y.. – Juni 10, 2022 - Unbesiegter Schwergewichts-Knockout-KünstlerBakhodir Jalolovließ sich am Freitagabend Zeit, aber schließlich beendete die Show auf dramatische Weise mit einem Knockout in der achten RundeJack Mulowayiim Main Event von einemShoBox: Die neue GenerationFernsehsendung im Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona, N.Y.. das dazu beitrug, das Einführungswochenende der International Boxing Hall of Fame im nahe gelegenen Canastota einzuleiten, N.Y..

Bekannt als „großer Usbeke“, der 6-Fuß-7 Jalolov, ein zweifacher Olympiasieger und 2020 Goldmedaillengewinner aus Usbekistan, zu einem perfekten verbessert 11-0 mit 11 KOs, als er eine riesige linke Hand landete, die Mulowayi schickte (11-3-1, 7 KOs) flach auf dem Rücken in der achten und letzten Runde.

„Ich fühle mich wirklich gut mit der Leistung,“, sagte der 27-jährige Jalolov. „Der Gegner war auf einem wirklich guten Niveau und ein großartiger Kämpfer. Er war wirklich hart, langlebiger Typ. Ich habe ein paar große Schüsse auf ihn gelandet und er kann einen Schlag einstecken.

Vor einem Who is Who der Boxkönige, darunter Andre Ward, Shane Mosley, Antonio Tarver und Terence Crawford, Jalolov setzte ein Ausrufezeichen in eine aufregende Boxnacht während eines historischen Wochenendes der Hall of Fame-Einführungen, an denen die letzten drei Klassen von Eingeweihten während der Zeremonie am Sonntag teilnehmen werden.

Jalolov war während des gesamten Kampfes dominant, Die einzige Frage war, ob er seine KO-Serie fortsetzen würde oder nicht. Es sah sowohl in der dritten als auch in der fünften Runde wahrscheinlich aus, als Jalolov Mulowayi wackelte, aber das Spiel Belgien bewies Herz, indem es beide Runden unbeschadet überstand. In der sechsten Runde, Mulowayi wurde zum zweiten Mal in seiner Karriere von einer linken Flanke fallen gelassen, als die Glocke ertönte. Er stand auf und schlug den Grafen, wurde aber mit einer weiteren Signatur der linken Hand endgültig niedergeschlagen 1:20 der Finalrunde.

„Ich dachte, ich würde ihn am Ende der sechsten Runde stoppen, als ich ihn fallen ließ, aber der Schiedsrichter ließ ihn weitermachen und die Runde war vorbei,sagte Jalolow, wem wurde ein Punkt für das Halten in der vierten Runde abgezogen. „Ich dachte, das ist die Zeit. Aber ich musste bis zur letzten Runde warten. Ich bin froh, dass ich die Unterbrechung bekommen habe. Ich habe das Gefühl, ich habe ihn drei- oder viermal verletzt.“

Jalolov kam zum ersten Mal in seiner Karriere über die fünfte Runde hinaus, Landung 47 Prozent seiner Power Punches und Outlanding Mulowayi 99-17 in Gesamtschlägen.

Im Co-Main Event, ungeschlagene dominikanische Schwergewichts-PerspektiveGeorg Arien(18-0, 7 KOs) gewann ein taktisches Duell gegen zuvor ungeschlagenAlante Grün(10-1-1, 7 KOs) per Split-Decision mit Partituren von 78-74, 77-75 zugunsten von Arien und 77-75 für Grün.

„Ich habe definitiv mehr als alles andere aus diesem Kampf gelernt, also gebe ich meiner Leistung ein C-Plus oder ein B-Minus, weil dies die Art von Kampf ist, die mich hungriger ins Fitnessstudio zurückgehen lässt und weiß, dass es noch viel mehr zu tun gibt,“, sagte Arias, der jetzt in der Bronx lebt und trainiert. „Aber diesmal waren wir gesegnet, denn hätte er ein bisschen stärker sein sollen, Die Dinge hätten katastrophaler kommen können.“

Arias ging in der ersten Hälfte des Kampfes souverän in Führung, Ausführung des Spielplans durch Outboxing von Green und Landung des Reinigers, härtere Schläge. Cleveland’s Green wuchs in den späteren Runden in den Kampf hinein, aber es war zu wenig zu spät und Arias konnte genug tun, um die späte Rallye aufzuhalten.

Es war ein schwieriger Kampf, ein Tor zu erzielen, Da sich alle drei Richter auf nur zwei der acht Runden geeinigt haben, bestätigten die Schlagstatistiken die Entscheidung der Richter, als Arias Green überholte 81-58. Grün wurde das 213th Kämpfer, um seinen ungeschlagenen Rekord verderben zu lassenShoBox.

„Jeder, der mir gegenübersteht, trainiert für mich immer tausend Prozent besser,“, fuhr Arias fort. „Er war wirklich komplett. Er hatte nicht unbedingt eine Schwäche, die ich ausnutzen könnte. Die Reaktionszeit, die er hatte, war wirklich gut und er hatte eine gute innere Beinarbeit, wo es etwas zu lange dauerte, bis ich in eine Zone kam, weil er bei jeder Strategie, die ich anwendete, eine gute Reaktion zu haben schien.“

In der Sendung Opener, ungeschlagenes LeichtgewichtChann Thonson (11-0, 8 KOs) ein Boxdisplay aufstellen, Blutergüsse, die zuvor Unbesiegten zu schlagen und schließlich zu brechenTyler Tomlin (13-1, 9 KOs) auf dem Weg zu einem TKO in der fünften Runde. Schiedsrichter Mark Nelson stoppte die Aktion 1:01 in die Runde.

„Ich wusste, wenn ich mit ihm in der Tasche bliebe, würden die Spritzen, die ich ihm geben würde, ihn wegbringen,“, sagte Kanadas Thonson, der vom ehemaligen olympischen Bronzemedaillengewinner und Halbschwergewichts-Anwärter Chris Johnson trainiert wird. "Überraschenderweise, er war etwas härter als ich dachte, denn als ich ihn hart schlug, er trat keinen Schritt zurück. Also wusste ich schließlich, dass dies sein eigener Tod sein würde und es nur eine Frage der Zeit war.“

Thonson, der zum vierten Mal gekämpft hat 2022, kontrollierte das Tempo und die Distanz von der Eröffnungsglocke und sah aus wie der entspanntere und erfahrenere Kämpfer. Er benutzte seinen Stoß und seine gerade rechte Hand, um sowohl eine Schwellung um Tomlins linkes Auge als auch ernsthaften Anlass zur Sorge in Tomlins Ecke zu verursachen. Vor Beginn der dritten Runde, Tomlins Vater und Trainer Darryl forderte seinen Sohn auf, das Tempo zu erhöhen.

Jedoch, es war Thonson, der noch mehr Gas gab. Spät in der dritten Runde, Thonson landete eine Flut von Schlägen, die Tomlin verletzten und sein Gesicht blutig hinterließen. Der Klang der Glocke rettete Tomlin vorübergehend, aber seine Nacht würde in der fünften Runde zu Ende gehen. Unfähig, die ständige Bestrafung zu vermeiden, die Thonson austeilte, Die Aktion wurde gestoppt, nachdem der Arzt am Ring Tomlin untersucht hatte.

Insgesamt, Thonson ist gelandet 44 Prozent seiner Kraftschläge und auswärts gelandeten Tomlin 102-39 in Gesamtschlägen.

"Ich fühle mich gut, Ich fühle mich wie im Kampf. Ich wurde gerade mit zwei Überhandrechten erwischt und ich bin mir ziemlich sicher, dass einer von ihnen entweder meine Nase gebrochen oder gebrochen hat,“, sagte der 22-jährige Tomlin. „Es war in der zweiten oder dritten Runde, als ich erwischt wurde. Ich fühlte und es warf den Spielplan so weit ab, wie ich versuchte zu tun. Ich wurde etwas zögerlicher als ich hätte sein sollen. Ich kann einfach nicht von diesen Überhandrechten getroffen werden. SHOW TIME, das tun sie, sie stellen gute Kämpfer gegen gute Kämpfer. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass ich die Nase vorn haben würde, aber wir müssen zurückgehen und uns den Film ansehen und sehen, was als nächstes kommt.“

Bill Verigan.jpg
Bill Verigan: “Whether a boxer is in the Hall of Fame or not, sie trainieren hart, compete hard and have overcome hard losses. Ich bin sehr, very thankful to be here today. Thank you so much.”
Shannon Briggs.jpg
(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. Danke, Jungs. Let’s go champ!"
John Turner.jpg
(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.”
Barnes.jpg
(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. Ich gab nie auf. Am meisten, I want to thank me for putting in all the hard work.”
Bentt.jpg
(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.”
Diamond.jpg
(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.”
Mike Silver.jpg
(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.”
Don Elbaum.jpg
(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.”
Donny Lolonde.jpg
(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. Jetzt, 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.”
Verderosa.jpg
(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.”
Phillips.jpg




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

Verno Phillips: “New York Hall of Fame, Baby. I made it! Ich in der Arbeit setzen. Like my grandmother said, ‘You got to go out and run.’”
