LAS VEGAS – O ex campión do mundo Thomas Hearns, que xunto con Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler e Roberto Duran dominated boxing in the 1980s and became known collectively asThe Four Kings,” headlines a 14-person class of inductees into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame, Hall CEO/president Michelle Currais-Lewis announced Wednesday.
Hearns was chosen in the non-Nevada resident boxer category, along with Michael Spinks, Erik Morales, Michael Carbajal, women’s boxing star Lucia Rijker and Salvador Sanchez. Elected in the Nevada resident boxer category was Ken Norton, Leon Spinks and Richie Sandoval.
Chosen in the non-boxer category were referee Davey Pearl, public relations specialist Debbie Munch, promoter Mel Greb, trainer/cut man Rafael Garcia and Nevada Athletic Commission chair Dr. Elias Ghanem.
Norton, Sánchez, Greb and Ghanem will be inducted posthumously.
The members of the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame’s star-studded fifth-induction class will be honored at a gala dinner at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Sábado, Agosto. 12. Ticket will be released Thursday, February 16th at 12pm on NVBHOF.com .
We are very proud of this class of inductees, and it contains some of the greatest fighters who ever lived,” Corrales-Lewis said. “I’m looking forward to our gala dinner when we can honor these richly deserving people and allow their fans to say hello.
Hearns was one of the standouts during the 1980s and participated in a series of great bouts in Las Vegas with Leonard, Hagler and Duran. His 1985 bout with Hagler at Caesars Palace is still regarded by many as the greatest fight in boxing history.
The Spinks brothers, Michael and Leon, become the first set of brothers inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. Both won gold medals for the U.S. no 1976 Olympics in Montreal and then went on to win world titles in the pros.
Norton, known primarily for a series of close bouts with the legendary Muhammad Ali, also competed in one of the great heavyweight title bouts ever. He lost the WBC title by a razor-thin decision to Larry Holmes in 1978, among the finest heavyweight championship fights ever held.
Pearl was among the best referees of all-time and worked more than 70 championship bouts. He was the referee for both Leon Spinks’ chocante 1978 upset of Ali as well as for Leonard’s dramatic 14th-round knockout of Hearns in 1981.

Director John Seip asina italiano super-medios perspectiva Daniele Marco Scardina

(L-R) – Daniel Mark Scardina e John Seip

 

MIAMI (Abril 6, 2015) – Empresario de boxeo Veteran John Seip asinou altamente condecorado boxeador afeccionado italiano Daniel Mark Scardina para un contrato exclusivo de xestión.

 

Seip é máis coñecido por orientador Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin a Organización Mundial de Boxeo (WBO) título dos medios do mundo. O nativo de New Yorker tamén xestiona subindo británico super-medios Corcel “O Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 Kos).

 

The 21-year-old Scardina vén de Rozzano, unha cidade de menos de 40,000 de persoas na provincia de Milán. Empezou o boxeo en 2008 coa idade de 16, seguindo os pasos do seu tío, que foi un boxeador, nese momento, así como modelo de Daniele.

 

Scardina, que tiña 56 loitas afeccionadas, honores mellores capturados en numerosos torneos italianas, incluíndo o National Rovereto, Luva de Prata Nacional, e dúas Luvas de Ouro Nacionais. Tamén gañou unha medalla de bronce en evento internacional.

 

En 2013, el casetonado ao Boxing Team Italia Thunder in the World Series of Boxing, gañar o seu único partido contra un rival alemán.

 

Scardina primeiro chamou a atención de Seip no mundialmente famoso 5th St. Academia en Miami Beach, orixinalmente inaugurado en 1950 por Chris Dundee, e na casa de campións mundiais incontables adestrar alí, incluíndo Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. A rica tradición continúa co novo 5th St. Academia, situado nas proximidades, 1434 Alton Rúa, onde os mellores loitadores de todo o mundo, tales como Bernard Hopkins aínda adestrar.

 

“A primeira vez que o vin adestrando na 5th St. Ximnasio e el parecía un afeccionado típico,” Seip explicou. “El xogou socos de ancho e non sabía como xogar un bo jab. Trainers Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer comecei a traballar con el, e agora está a usar o seu alcance, combate a unha distancia, e xogando combinacións de jabs e ganchos. El é apaixonado por boxeo, escoitar e aprender todos os días. Daniele ten boa velocidade da man e poder. El é un neno bonito, moi. Vin algo nel, intanxibles, e decidiu contratalo lo.

É xa evidente que Danielle mellorou o seu adestramento de habilidades alí. El é longo, rápido e poderoso. Súa ética de traballo é incrible; el é o primeiro no ximnasio, último a saír. Non podes ferir o neno, ou. Todos cremos que ten un futuro moi brillante.”

 

Scardina bate heavy-saco en 5 St. Academia en Miami Beach

Ao contrario de combatentes de Rusia e antigos países do bloque soviético, así como aqueles latinoamericanos que veñen a Estados Unidos para establecer as súas carreiras de boxeo profesional, Loitadores nacidos de italianos raramente seguiron o mesmo camiño que Scardina, que se cambiou a Miami o ano pasado e durmir no chan do apartamento do seu irmán.

Antuofermo, aínda, trasladouse coa súa familia a Brooklyn de Puglia, Italia, cando el era 17 e aprendeu a caixa en América.

 

“Sempre quixo ser un campión de América,” Scardina dixo. “Ese é o soño americano para min. Eu creo que eu vou ter unha grande oportunidade neste país ser o maior boxeador podo estar coa axuda certa. John Seip é o director certo para min, porque cre que pudermos o campionato mundial xuntos como un equipo.”

 

Puxilista favoritos de Scardina son Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotta. “Eu estou a traballar en perfección como un loitador fóra e principais meus brazos máis próximos,” Scardina engadido. Estou loitando para facer campión do mundo.”

 

Scardina se espera para facer a súa estrea en maio ou xuño.
