KWOTASIES & FOTO'S VAN DIE NYSBHOF INDUCTIES

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez en Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Ek wil vir Ring bedank 8 vir die geleentheid vir my om hier te wees. Ek wil ook my vrou bedank dat sy altyd daar is vir my, en my afrigter.”

(L-R) – plante Goldman, Don Majeski en Bob Duffy
KRUIE GOUDMAN: “As ek enige bydraes tot boks gemaak het – Ek hoop ek het – Ek het dit gedoen deur rekordhouding te herdefinieer en 'n nuwe perspektief op boksgeskiedenis te skep. Ek is trots daarop, maar ek het dit nie alleen gedoen nie.”
(L-R) – Joe MESI, Jack Hirsch en Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “Ek het soveel mense om te bedank vir hierdie eer. Ek is 'n Buffel. Daar is niemand meer ten gunste van een New York nie, maar dit is nie. Dit is spesiaal vir my, want dit is die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. Dit maak my stol en laat my dink ek is nie net 'n plaaslike seun nie. Daar was 'n groot nadeel van 'n klein stad, sparring was nie dieselfde as in die gimnasiums van New York Stad nie, maar ek het 'n voordeel gehad om van Wes-New York af te kom. Niemand het uitgekom soos ons in Buffalo nie 10,000, dan 16,00 en uiteindelik 18,000 mense. Hulle was altyd agter my en ek deel dit met hulle omdat hul ondersteuning my gemaak het. My droom was om in Buffalo te veg en daar voort te gaan veg.
“Een van die hoogtepunte van my lewe was om teen Monte Barrett op HBO in Madison Square Garden te veg. Hy was een van die grootste vegters ter wêreld wat vir die wêreldtitel geveg het. Ek wou nog altyd my wêreldtitel kry, maar ek het dit nooit gekry nie. Dis reg, Ek was vir 'n rukkie bietjie bitter, maar ek kon nie gelukkiger wees met my loopbaan nie. Die beste deel van boks is die broederskap wat ons deel.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens en Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “Ek weet mense sê dit altyd, maar dit is die waarheid: Ek skuld soveel mense wat my deur my loopbaan ondersteun het. Boks was nog altyd vir my 'n huis weg van die huis en vandag voel ek of ek tuis is.
“Ek was 30, woon in Brooklyn Heights, en terug ry 'n taxi en wag op tafels. ’n Lig het in my kop afgegaan: boks is die sport van die underdog en ek is 'n underdog. Die volgende dag is ek na Gleason's Gym – die middelpunt van die heelal. Ek het al die gimnasiums in die stad rondgeloop, ontmoetingspromotors, bestuurders en opleiers. Ek het pasmaats vir promotors begin maak en toe het Cedric Kushner my by gehuur 1980-2002. In 2002, Ek het 'n oproep gekry om vir die New York State Athletic Commission te werk as sy gemeenskapskoördineerder en direkteur van boks. Dan, Ek is aangestel as voorsitter en ek het twee termyne gedien. Vandag, Ek is uiters trots om deel te wees van die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman en Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “Ek kan hierdie skare nie glo nie. Om te doen wat ons doen, die opofferings en ondersteuning wat jy van jou gesin kry is so belangrik en (in Goodman se geval) was vir soveel jare. Hulle het ons toegelaat om te doen wat ons doen. Almal van ons hou van boks!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Skool toe, Clay Jenkins en Bob Duffy
AL COLE: “Ek het gedink boks is die domste en domste sport ooit. Wie wou in die gesig geslaan word? Ek het laat begin boks. Ek het om 'n paar gespeel en mense het gesê ek was redelik goed. Ek het begin boks toe ek was 20, in die weermag, gestasioneer by Ft. Kap. Vier jaar later, Ek was op die Olimpiese span. Die rede hoekom ek 'n goeie sparringmaat gehad het, Ray Mercer. As ek elke dag saam met Ray in die ring sou wees, Ek sou óf geslaan word, of word beter.
“Ek onthou dat Bob Arum vir my sy besigheidskaartjie gegee het. Ek het hom nie geken nie. Ek het net geweet van drie mense in boks: Don King, Muhammad Ali en Ray Leonard suiker. Ek het nie boks gevolg nie en die enigste rede hoekom ek geboks het, was dat ek in die bos moes slaap as ek dit nie gedoen het nie (in weermag). Boks is: slaan hom, voor hy my slaan.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin en Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Ek wil die direksie bedank. Ek gaan wees 70 en het in boks begin toe ek was 18. Dit het 'n nuwe rigting in my lewe geskep. Ek is so trots om in geselskap te wees met ouens wat dit nie net gepraat het nie, hulle was mal daaroor. As jy regtig van hierdie sport hou, jy moet dit regtig leer. Enige man wat in die ring getrap het, plus al die padwerk, tyd in die gimnasium en offer wat hulle eet, het dit gedoen om die beste te wees wat hulle kan wees.
“In boks, jy gaan nie elke geveg wen nie, maar of 'n vegter wen of verloor, as hy 100 persent gee, hy is 'n wenner. Hulle werk 'n werk, hardloop vyf myl dag, oefensessie by die gimnasium, en toe huis toe gegaan om tyd saam met sy gesin deur te bring. Vriende en familie het altyd jou rug.”

(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Ek is sprakeloos. Dis wonderlik. Randy (voormalige NYSAC-voorsitter Gordon), onthou jy hierdie storie? Daar was net drie beoordelaars en, ongelukkig, een het siek gemeld. Ek het by die eerste plek gesit sonder enige verantwoordelikhede. Randy het gesê ek moet werkvanaand. Ek het gesê dat ek nie gelisensieer is nie en dit nie kan doen nie. het Randy gesê, 'Steek jou regterhand op', en dit was aan. Ek is daar ingegooi, maar dit was oukei.
“My grootste prestasies is my kinders en man. Ek kon nie vir 'n beter situasie vra nie. En Ralph Petrillo is deel van my familie; hy was my tweede in bevel. Ek het ook die beste amptenare gehad: adjunk-kommissarisse, inspekteurs, beoordelaars en skeidsregters. Ek sou nie hier saam wees sonder hulle nie. Bob Duffy het hierdie hele ding saamgevoeg. Ek persoonlik dink hy is wonderlik. My reis gaan voort, Ek is geseënd.”

(L-R) – Bob en Murray Goodman
NEW YORK (Maart 26, 2018) – Boks lewenslange Bob Goodman en sy vader, die laat Murray Goodman, is onder 23 lede van die Klas van 2018 word opgeneem in die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) op Sondag middag (12:30-5:30 namiddag. EN), April 29.
Die sewende jaarlikse NYSBHOF-induksie-ete word weer by Russo's On The Bay in Howard Beach gehou., New York.
'n Legendariese bokspublisator, Murray Goodman (Bronx) het sy seun in die lieflike wetenskap gebring toe Bob net agt jaar oud was. Die res was histories vir die Goodmans, wat albei ingehuldig is in verskeie Halls of Fame, insluitend die International Boxing Hall of Fame.
“Dit is 'n groot eer vir my en my pa,” Bob gesê. “Ek wens hy het vandag gelewe om daar te wees. Ek is 'n bokser. Ek was agt jaar oud wat saam met my pa na al die oefenkampe gegaan het, wat 'n boksskrywer en sportredakteur vir die INS was (Hearst Nuusdiens) diens. Die grap is ek is by Grossinger verwek (Catskill Resort Hotel opleidingskamp). Boks het pas in my lewe gekom. Ek en my pa het 'n paar besighede gehad in promosies en openbare betrekkinge, alle verskillende soorte sportverwante besighede, maar daar was altyd geboks.
“Ek is die gelukkigste ou in die wêreld. Ek is opgevoed om dieselfde dinge te doen waarvoor ek lief was. Hoeveel mense kan dit sê? Ek het Joe Louis ontmoet en daarmee bevriend geraak, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano en soveel ander. Ek sal weke lank in kampe bly. Ek het opgestaan ​​om saam met die boksers te hardloop en die kans gekry om rondom my helde te wees. Ek het ook afrigters en ander in boks leer ken en later aanhangers. Ek het almal leer ken. Ek is in boks grootgemaak, my hele lewe was boks, 65 jare in die besigheid.”
Bob is, miskien, veral bekend as visepresident en pasmaat vir Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), asook 'n kwarteeu wat as Vise-President van Boksbedrywighede gedien het, Pasmaat en Direkteur van Openbare Betrekkinge vir Don King Productions. Hy het ook baie wêreldkampioene bevorder as president van sy eie maatskappy, Garden State Boks.
“Ek onthou hoe ek vir weke op 'n slag weggegaan het na oefenkampe,” het die 78-jarige Goodman met liefde onthou. “Ek sou foto's neem, skryf elke dag stories en gebruik my telekopieerder om dit na AP en UPI te stuur. Ek het soveel gedoen om by die besigheid grootgemaak te word, laai selfs trokke met stoele op, die ring, sprekers en meer. My pa was die publisiteitsdirekteur vir die Internasionale Boksklub by Madison Square Garden. Ek het daar gewerk toe ek 'n tiener was.
“Ek is geëerd om saam met my pa en soveel boksouens in die New York State Boxing Hall of Fame opgeneem te word. Hulle verskil van mense in enige ander sportsoorte. Een van die toekennings wat ek gewen het waarop ek die trotsste is, is die James J. Walker-gedenktoekenning vir lang en verdienstelike diens aan boks (BWAA in 1960).
“Ek is gelukkig om verskeie eras in boks te oorskry. Dit was destyds 'n ander wêreld, ons het 20-30 skrywers bly vir weke by oefenkampe. Ek het outydse boksers en afrigters leer ken.”

Spinks brothers, Michael Carbajal, Erik Morales and Salvador Sanchez are also among the greats to be honored Augustus. 12 at Caesars Palace.
LAS VEGAS – Voormalige wêreldkampioen Thomas Hearns, wat saam met Ray Leonard suiker, Wonderlike Marvin Hagler en Roberto Duran dominated boxing in the 1980s and became known collectively as “The Four Kings,” headlines a 14-person class of inductees into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame, Hall CEO/president Michelle Corrales-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, Sanchez, 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 Saterdag, Augustus. 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. by die 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 kampioenskapstryde. He was the referee for both Leon Spinks’ skokkende 1978 upset of Ali as well as for Leonard’s dramatic 14ste-round knockout of Hearns in 1981.
The Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame is an IRS 501 (c)3 charity and all donations are tax deductible. The Hall’s charitable contributions over the five years since its formation have helped boxers in need and boxing-related charities. Donations are welcome.
The Hall was founded in 2013 by noted boxing broadcaster Rich Marotta.
