Simply the best….. روي جونز, الابن.

رابطة خريجي الملاكمة USA, فئة من 2018 حث

COLORADO SPRINGS, حضن. (سبتمبر 6, 2018) – Living legend روي جونز, الابن., universally recognized as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, leads a celebrated quintet of Class of 2018 inductees into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

استقبال قاعة مشاهير قاعة المشاهير السنوية السنوية للملاكمة, عقدت بالتزامن مع 2018 بطولة الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية للملاكمة والبطولات الوطنية للشباب والمبتدئين والإعدادية, ديسمبر 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, في فندق راديسون (215 S. شارع المعبد) في سالك ليك سيتي, يوتا.

 

 

 

 

بالإضافة إلى جونز, فئة من 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (محترف) ابطال, اندريه وارد و Claressa شيلدز, وكذلك المدير القومي الأمريكي السابق للملاكمة للتدريب إيمانويل ستيوارد والمسؤول المخضرم الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية للملاكمة توم كليري. سيتم إدخال الأخيرين بعد وفاته.

 

 

 

تم تضمين فئة الميثاق الذي تم إدخاله العام الماضي محمد علي و ايفاندر هوليفيلد, as well as veteran coaches روزفلت ساندرز و توم كولتر.

 

 

 

I am honored to be selected for induction into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Jones commented, “especially as a member of this great class with my fellow inductees.

 

 

 

Amateur boxing gave me the chance to learn life skills as well as face every other possible scenario inside of the ring.

 

 

 

جونز, ومن المفارقات, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (جو) فرايزرand just felt as though Ali and I had the same mental concept on life,” Jones explained.

 

 

 

Jones went on to become one of the best amateur boxers in the world, compiling a reported 121-13 سجل, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

في 1988 دورة الالعاب الاولمبية في سيول, كوريا الجنوبية, Jones reached the championship final of the light middleweight division against Park Si-Hun, of South Korea. Jones suffered arguably the worst decision in boxing history, losing 3-2, despite outpunching his opponent, 86 إلى 32 landed punches, and he was forced to settle for a silver medal. Even his opponent admitted that Jones won their fight, leading the AIBA to later suspend the three judges who selected the hometown fighter as the winner.

 

 

 

How disgraceful was this decision? Jones was selected as the Val Barker Trophy winner as the best boxer of the 1988 Olympics and, due to controversy, the scoring system for Olympic boxing was changed, replacing the 20-point must system with electronic scoring.

 

 

 

I was angered,” Jones admitted, “yet promoted to prove that I was the best fighter there, and in the world, at that time.

 

 

 

Jones made his professional debut May 6, 1989, at home in Pensacola, فلوريدا, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall في الجولة الثانية. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 كوس) سجل للمحترفين, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

في 2003, Jones defeated جون رويز by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the first former world middleweight champion to become world heavyweight title holder in more than a century.

 

 

 

The possessor of exceptional hand and foot speed, الألعاب الرياضية, movement and reflexes, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 معارك للمحترفين, 22-3 (14) في معارك لقب العالم. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 كوس) and included among his victims were greats such as برنارد هوبكنز, جيمس توني, مايك ماكالوم,فيني Pazienza, فيرجيل هيل, انطونيو تارفير و فيليكس ترينيداد.

 

 

 

اليوم, the 49-year-old Jones, technically speaking, is still an active fighter. He also has two promotional companies and gyms, located in Pensacola and Las Vegas, trains several pro boxers and serves as a color commentator for HBO Boxing. He recently opened gyms in South Africa.

 

 

 

For the past two years, Jones has hosted theFuture Stars of Boxing Tournament” في لاس فيغاس, showcasing some of the best amateur boxers in the world.

 

 

 

Hosting the tournament in Las Vegas gives me the opportunity to give back to amateur boxing,” Jones explained. “It’s a great experience for the boxers and it reminds them that who they may have or still look up to, are watching them as well.

When USA Boxing alumni discuss their favorite fighters,” قال كريس tofflemire, المدير التنفيذي لرابطة خريجي الملاكمة بالولايات المتحدة الأمريكية, “Roy Jones is near the top of everyone’s list. His spectacular talent, dedication to his craft, and infectious personality make him a no-brainer to headline this year’s Hall of Fame class. He continues to give back to amateur boxing and support the next generation. Roy deserves to be celebrated for all he has accomplished, and we look forward to honoring him in December.

Quotes of Note from other World Champions

 

George Foreman: “(جونز) hits like a heavyweight and moved like a lightweight.

 

مونتيل غريفين: “فلويد (مايويذر, الابن) was no comparison as far as speed. Roy was much faster.

 

مايك ماكالوم: “(Jones is) the greatest fighter of all time.
