Hiyo ni kambi kamili. Tunafanya mazoezi kwa bidii, tunafundisha kwa busara na tumejitayarisha Jumamosi usiku.

"Siruhusu chochote kunipata. Najua ninachoweza kufanya. Nitaingia huko kwa kujiamini na kutawala. Nitafahamu kila kitu na kuweka akili yangu mkali kwenye pete.

 

"Kocha wangu anasoma kanda hiyo lakini najua ni mpiga masumbwi hodari wa Mexico. Tunajua atakuwa mkali, lakini tuko tayari kwa staili yoyote atakayokuja nayo Jumamosi usiku.

 

"Kwa kila mpinzani, mpango wa mchezo ni tofauti. Tuna mpango wa mchezo, lakini tutakuwa tayari kurekebisha. Wakati wa mwisho wa siku, Lazima niingie huko na kushinda, na kushinda kwa kuvutia.

 

"Kuwa kwenye kadi hii ni hisia nzuri. Napata kufunguka kwa pambano hili kubwa ambalo nadhani litakuwa Pambano la Mwaka. Nitaweka kiwango cha juu sana.

JORGE COTA

"Nitaichukua pande zote na nione analeta nini kwenye pete. Nitafanya marekebisho kutoka kwa kile ninachokiona. Nitatathmini hali na kuendelea kutoka hapo.

Andrzej Fonfara

 

"Nilipumzika baada ya pambano langu la mwisho na kujirudisha pamoja. Uamuzi ulikuwa kubadili wakufunzi kuwa Virgil Hunter. Nimefurahiya uamuzi huo na nilikuwa na kambi nzuri.

 

"Nina umakini zaidi wakati wa kambi hii. Ni familia yangu tu na ukumbi wa mazoezi. Kitu kimoja kila siku. Mimi niko katika hali nzuri zaidi ambayo nimekuwa katika maisha yangu.

 

"Nina jab nzuri ambayo lazima niitumie. Nadhani mimi ni mpiganaji hodari na mwenye nguvu zaidi kuliko Chad Dawson. Najua kupiga box ndani na nje. Dawson ana uzoefu mwingi lakini najua nitakuwa tayari kwa lolote atakaloleta.

 

"Kuna mashabiki wengi wa Poland ninatarajia kuona Jumamosi usiku. Ninajua kuwa Brooklyn ina idadi kubwa ya mashabiki wa ndondi wa Poland. Niko tayari kwa hisia hiyo. Nimerudi na ninafuata taji la dunia."

 

HEATHER HARDY

 

"Nimekuwa na macho yangu kwenye tarehe hii ya vita kwa muda. Nilijua kwamba nilipaswa kuingia kwenye kadi hii. Ilibidi kuwe na angalau mwanamke mmoja anayewakilisha mchezo wetu kwenye kadi hii.

 

"Wanawake wanapaswa kufanya kazi kwa bidii mara tatu ili kufikia hatua hii. Wasichana wanafanya mazoezi kwa bidii kama wanaume na tunajitahidi kupata haki yetu.

 

"Hatujiwakilishi tu tunapoingia ulingoni, tunawakilisha michezo yetu. Daima kuna kiasi cha ajabu cha shinikizo, haijalishi ni jukwaa gani.

 

"Kabla ya kambi hii ya pambano nilikuwa nikitoka kwenye kambi ya MMA ya wiki nane. Kufikiria juu ya msichana ambaye anaweza kunipiga kwa mikono miwili tu, Sina wasiwasi hata kidogo.

"Timu yangu imetazama kanda fulani kwa mpinzani wangu. Binafsi sipendi kutazama sana kanda zao. Kila mtu anapigana na wapinzani tofauti. Tulikuja na mpango wa mchezo wa pambano hili na ndio tumekuwa tukifanya kazi kwenye kambi zote.

 

"Ushindi unamaanisha kila kitu kwangu. Itanisaidia kupanda ngazi na kunisaidia kuchukua hatua nyingine katika kazi yangu.

 

"Ninapenda kupigana huko New York. Watu wa jiji hili ni wa ajabu na wanajitokeza kwa vita kubwa kama hii. Ni vizuri kuwa kwenye hatua hii na nitafaidika nayo."

 

SERGEY LIPINETS

 

"Taa angavu hazijawahi kunitisha. Nimehamasishwa zaidi na umuhimu wa kadi hii. Ninachojali ni kile kinachotokea kwenye pambano. Sioni usumbufu wowote. Nimezingatia mpinzani wangu.

Spinks brothers, Michael Carbajal, Erik Morales and Salvador Sanchez are also among the greats to be honored Agosti. 12 at Caesars Palace.
LAS VEGAS – Bingwa wa dunia wa zamani Thomas Hearns, ambaye pamoja na Sugar Ray Leonard, Ajabu Marvin Hagler na 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 Jumamosi, Agosti. 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. katika 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’ kutisha 1978 upset of Ali as well as for Leonard’s dramatic 14th-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.

BIOGRAPHIES OF THE NEW HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES
Michael Carbajal – Best known as the first junior flyweight to earn a $1 million purse, Carbajal won world titles at junior flyweight and flyweight. Inayojulikana kama “Little Hands of Stone” for his punching power, Carbajal was 49-4 na 33 Kos.
His rivalry with Humberto “Petite” Gonzalez was one of the best of the early 1990s and their 1993 fight was The Ring Magazine Fight of the Year. Katika 2004, The Ring named Carbajal as the best junior flyweight in history.
Alikuwa 98-10 as an amateur and won a silver medal at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea ya Kusini.
Thomas Hearns – Hearns, 58, won recognized world titles at welterweight, super welterweight, middleweight, super middleweight and light heavyweight during a career in which he went 61-5-1 na 48 Kos.
He’s most remembered for his savage three-round battle with Hagler in 1985, but he participated in many of the decade’s biggest and most electric bouts. He fought in Las Vegas 16 mara, kwenda 11-4-1 na knockouts tisa.
Erik Morales – One of the most exciting fighters of the early part of the 2000s, Morales is best known for his series of outstanding fights with arch rival Marco Antonio Barrera. Morales went 52-9 na 36 knockouts but is best known for his trilogy with Barrera, two of which were named Ring Fight of the year.
Morales won major world titles at super bantamweight, featherweight, super featherweight and super lightweight, becoming the first Mexican born fighter to win titles in four weight classes.
He also engaged in a spectacular trilogy with Manny Pacquiao, beating him in the first and dropping the last two.
Ken Norton – Though he was the heavyweight champion before losing his belt to Larry Holmes in one of the great title bouts ever, Norton was best known for his three fights with the legendary Muhammad Ali. Norton defeated Ali in 1973 in San Diego in their first bout, breaking Ali’s jaw.
Ali won the two subsequent bouts, ikiwa ni pamoja na 1976 match at Yankee Stadium for the title. Some observers believe Norton deserved to win all three fights.
The Holmes fight was sensational and the two men stood in the center of the ring at Caesars and slugged it out in the 15th na mzunguko wa mwisho.
Lucia Rijker – Rijker is regarded as one of, if not the best, women boxers in history. She was 17-0 na 14 knockouts in boxing and was 37-0-1 na 25 knockouts as a kick boxer.
In her boxing career, she scored dominant wins over the likes of Jane Couch, Marcela Acuna and Chevelle Hallback.
She later appeared in the Oscar-winning film, “Million Dollar Baby.“
Salvador Sanchez – Sanchez tragically died in an auto accident in Mexico at just 23 umri wa miaka, robbing the world of one of the elite fighters in history well before his time. Sanchez was 44-1-1 na 32 knockouts and was the lineal featherweight champion from 1980 until his death in 1982.
He won the title by knocking out Danny “Little Red” Lopez, but is best known for a dominating eighth-round stoppage of Wilfredo Gomez. Gomez was 33-0 na 32 knockouts but was no match for Sanchez.
Richie Sandoval – Sandoval held the bantamweight title for two years, but his career, as great as it was, is a question of what might have been. Alikuwa mwanachama wa 1980 U.S. Olympic boxing team, but he lost his chance at a medal when President Carter decided to boycott the Games in Moscow.
Sandoval won the first 29 fights of his pro career, racking up 17 knockouts, and beat the great Jeff Chandler for the bantamweight belt.
But tragically, Sandoval suffered serious boxing related injuries in a 1986 bout with Gaby Canizales and was forced to retire.
Leon Spinks – Spinks is most known for upsetting Muhammad Ali in 1978 in just his eighth pro fight to win the heavyweight championship. He lost the title in a rematch and failed in two other attempts to win a title. He was stopped by Larry Holmes in a heavyweight title fight in 1981 and lost a cruiserweight title challenge in Reno to Dwight Muhammad Qawi in 1986.
A colorful figure known as “Neon” Leon, he was an acclaimed amateur who was 178-7 na 133 KOs and the light heavyweight gold at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal.
He finished his professional career with a 26-17-3 mark and 14 Kos.
Michael Spinks – Spinks was 31-1 in his career and won both the light heavyweight and heavyweight titles. He moved up from light heavyweight to defeat Larry Holmes at the Riviera in 1985, denying Holmes the opportunity to go 49-0 and match Rocky Marciano’s record.
He won the light heavyweight title in his 17th pro fight in 1981 at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas when he bested the much more experienced Eddie Mustafa Muhammad. Spinks held the light heavyweight title for four years, before giving it up to move to heavyweight to fight Holmes.
A 1976 Olympic medali ya dhahabu, Spinks‘ only pro loss came in his final fight when he was knocked out by Mike Tyson in a bout for the undisputed heavyweight title.
NON-BOXER INDUCTEE BIOGRAPHIES
Rafael Garcia – Garcia, 87, is best known for his cap he wears festooned with pins and for working as Floyd Mayweather’s hand wrapper. But he had a long career as both a cut man and a trainer and was outstanding at both. He worked with elite fighters such as Mayweather, Roberto Duran, Alexis Arguello and Wilfredo Gomez.
Dr. Elias Ghanem – Ghanem as the long-time chairman of the Nevada Athletic Commission, and was responsible for helping it to earn the moniker, “The greatest commission in the world.”
Ghanem, a physician whose patients once included Elvis Presley, played a key role in the hearings after Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield, and also was instrumental in bringing the Oscar De La Hoya-Felix Trinidad bout to Las Vegas in 1999.
Mel Greb – Inayojulikana kama “The father of professional boxing in Southern Nevada,” Greb was a promoter and matchmaker who first brought Muhammad Ali to Nevada. Then known as Cassius Clay, Greb promoted Ali’s seventh pro fight in 1961. That week, he introduced Ali to wrestler “Gorgeous” George, and Ali patterned himself after George in many ways.
Greb died in 1996 katika 75 umri wa miaka.
Debbie Munch – Caesars Palace in Las Vegas was a legendary host for many of boxing’s biggest fights in the 1980s and early 1990s, and Munch, a public relations expert, was instrumental in it.
She was widely respected by promoters, boxers and the media and helped many journalists immeasurably with their boxing coverage.
Davey Pearl – Pearl was small of stature, but was a giant as a referee. He worked more than 70 world title bouts, including Muhammad Ali-Leon Spinks and Sugar Ray Leonard-Thomas Hearns.
Pearl was also a highly regarded judge.

TOP WELTERWEIGHTS: THURMAN-PORTER WINNER TOO CLOSE TO CALL

Acha maoni

Hii Jumamosi, Juni 25, Live in Primetime at 9 p.m. NA/6 p.m. PT juu CBS
Bonyeza HERE For PBC Fighter Prediction Video
NEW YORK (Juni 22, 2016) – Their peers in the welterweight division – mabingwa wa dunia, former champions, contenders and top prospects – can’t pick a definitive winner between defending WBA 147-pound king Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 Kos) na aliyekuwa bingwa wa dunia “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 Kos).
The majority of the fighters polled – some of whom are potential opponents down the line for the winner – lean toward Thurman, but most all concede that Jumamosi eagerly awaited main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® on CBS event, Iliyowasilishwa na mabingwa wa ndondi wakuu (9 p.m. NA/6 p.m. PT) at Barclays Center is going to be an intense, kusisimua, tight fight from start to finish that could go either way.
Here’s how the boxers see “Thurman vs.. Kuvaa”:
Danny Garcia (WBC Welterweight Champion): “I think this is a great matchup. Thurman has the boxing ability and the movement while Shawn Porter is the aggressor and he’s going to bring the heat. To be honest with you it’s a 50-50 kupambana, but I would give the edge to Keith Thurman by a very close decision.”
Kell Brook (IBF Welterweight Champion):”This is a great fight, one I can’t wait to watch. If Shawn can stick to his boxing I think he can become world champion again on points, but Keith is heavy-handed and he could walk Shawn onto one – it’s really a pick ’em fight for me.”
Errol Spence Jr. (Undefeated Welterweight Contender): “I think this is a great fight between young fighters with good skill. Shawn throws a lot of punches while Thurman is a boxer who can punch too. I know Shawn will be aggressive and it should make for a great fight. If Keith can box and keep Shawn Porter on the outside I see Keith Thurman winning. If Shawn stays on the inside and stays in the chest of Keith, I see him winning.”
Andre Berto (Former Welterweight Champion): “Shawn is going to come, but I think Keith will be on his toes and box but also drop hard shots as well when Shawn comes in. Keith can be very versatile in there and has a lot of great skills, while Shawn is more like a bull. Keith will hurt or knock Shawn down but will keep coming all night.”
Sammy Vazquez (Undefeated Welterweight Contender): “Shawn is a pressure fighter and Thurman used to be a pressure fighter but now he boxes. It’s really hard for me to decide who is going to come out on top. Thurman has good power. It all depends on how Shawn is able to take Thurman’s punches. I think Thurman because of the power but Shawn will bring it for 12 raundi.”
Robert Guerrero (Former Welterweight Champion): “This is a fight the fans are going to love watching. Both Thurman and Porter bring exciting styles to the ring. I think if Porter can keep the fight on the inside he’ll have a better chance to come out victorious. But Keith Thurman is a very smart and powerful fighter and will make the right adjustments. I just think Thurman is going to outbox Porter. I’m picking Thurman to win by decision in a very tough fight.”
Luis Collazo (Former Welterweight Champion): “I’m not sure who the favorite is, but I’m going with Porter. I like his style and I think it’s going to be interesting to see how Thurman holds up with the pressure Porter is going to bring.”
Devon Alexander (Former Welterweight Champion): “Ni mapambano ya kusisimua sana. Both fighters are come forward type fighters and they swing for the fences when they throw. I don’t know who will come out on top because they have similar styles. Shawn Porter has decent power, but out of the two Keith has the more power. We’ll see. This is boxing.”

Vichwa vya habari vinavyotarajiwa sana Showtime CHAMPIONSHIP ndondi® juu ya CBS presented by Premier Boxing Mabingwa (PBC) na chanjo ya televisheni inayoanza 9 p.m. NA/6 p.m. PT.
Leonard alikuwa na rekodi ya 30-1 na 21 Kos na kushikilia taji la welterweight la WBC wakati alichukua Hearns, ambaye alikuwa 32-0 na 30 Kos na kushikilia jina la WBA, Katika mechi ya umoja wa raundi ya 15 huko Las Vegas mnamo Septemba 16, 1981. Mechi hiyo ilitozwa kama “Maonyesho” na alikuwa na watazamaji wa runinga ulimwenguni 300 milioni.
Mapigano yalikuwa vita ya nyuma-na-nje, Lakini Hearns alionekana kuwa katika udhibiti baada ya kushinda raundi tisa kupitia 12 kwa majaji wote watatu’ scorecards. Ilikuwa kati ya raundi 12 na 13 Mkufunzi huyo wa Leonard, Marehemu Angelo Dundee, Kwa furaha alipiga kelele kwa Leonard: “Unaipiga sasa, mwana! Unaipiga!”
Leonard, Kwa jicho lake la kushoto limevimba vibaya, akageuza wimbi katika 14th pande zote kwa kusikika kwa kushangaza na kulia juu ya kulia na kisha kubonyeza hearns kwenye kamba na kutoa barrage ya punches, ambayo ilimfanya mwamuzi Davey Pearl aache mapigano, Kumpa Leonard ushindi na kumfanya kuwa bingwa wa welterweight na mfalme wa mgawanyiko.

Leonard alihisi kama ushindi dhidi ya Hearns alimzindua katika superstardom. Anaamini kitu hicho hicho kinangojea mshindi wa Thurman-Porter.
Kusikia juu ya mapigano: “Nilitaka kuonyesha ulimwengu wangu uwezo wangu wa ndondi. Walijua ningeweza kubisha watu nje, Lakini hawakujua kuwa ningeweza kuweka sanduku vizuri.”
Wote Leonard na Hearns walisema wanangojea kwa hamu mechi kati ya Thurman na Porter kwa sababu wanaamini itashikilia mchezo wa kuigiza kama mechi yao 35 miaka iliyopita.
“Yeah, Unaweza kufanya kulinganisha,” Leonard alisema. “Wote wawili wako juu ya mgawanyiko wa welterweight. Kitu pekee ambacho ni tofauti ni kwamba mimi na Tommy tulijulikana sana na mashabiki wa michezo. Tulikuwa kwenye Runinga sana, Na hiyo ndiyo iliyojengwa majina yetu na kuwapa watu nafasi ya kutuona sana. Na hiyo ndio wanafanya sasa na PBC na vipindi viko kwenye Runinga ya Mtandao. Hii inaweza kuwa vita kama yetu. Nani anajua? Lakini najua kuwa mashabiki wanangojea kwenye vita hii.”
Je! Unajiandaaje kukabiliana na mtu bora katika mgawanyiko wako?
Kusikia: “Daima ni ngumu kujiandaa kwa mtu kama huyo kwa sababu unafikiria juu ya nini matokeo yatakuwa na nafasi yako ya kushinda vita ni nini. Sikuwahi kufikiria juu ya kupoteza, Lakini nilifikiria juu ya nafasi zangu zilikuwa nini.
Nilijua ikiwa nitatoka nje na ndondi jinsi nilivyojua naweza kusanduku, Ningempiga Ray. Mawazo tu ya kupigana na Ray yalileta maswali mengi akilini mwangu. Baadhi nilikuwa na majibu na mengine ambayo sikuwa nayo. Vijana wengine wengi nilijua ningeweza kwenda huko na kuwatoa nje.”
Kinachokufurahisha juu ya matchup hii?
Leonard: “Moyo tu wa Keith na Shawn. Wote wa watu hawa wana moyo na wote wawili wana mapenzi. Utulivu huo. Hauwezi kufundisha utulivu. Ni kitu ambacho unaweza kuwa nacho au huna. Hauwezi kujifunza hiyo. Hiyo kina, Utulizaji wa kina wakati jicho lako la kushoto limefungwa na ini yako imechomwa na ilibidi upate juu kwenye turubai.”
Kusikia: “Najua Thurman na Porter wana uwezo wa kupata kila mmoja huko. Itakuwa suala la nani anapata nani kwanza. Ninaangalia kabisa. Natumai kuwa huko kibinafsi.”
Je! Ni muhimu sana hali ya kiakili ya mechi hii?
Kusikia: “Najua ni nini kupenda kwenda kinyume na mtu ambaye watu hawafikiri unaweza kupiga. Lazima ujiandae kwa hiyo. Ni hatua ya akili ambayo unapitia, Jinsi unavyoandaa akili yako. Ikiwa unaweza kudhibiti akili yako na kuambia mwili wako utafanya nini, Basi unaweza kuifanya. Huwezi kuwa na wasiwasi juu ya jinsi mtu mwingine anaweza kupiga punch. Kaa tu nje ya njia. Endelea kuweka fimbo hiyo juu yake na hataweza kukupiga.”
Je! Mawazo yako yalikuwa yakienda kwenye mechi gani dhidi ya Leonard?
Kusikia: “Sikuja 12 au 15 raundi. Nilikuja kupiga kitako chako na kwenda nyumbani. Sikuwa na hamu ya kwenda 15 raundi. Nilifanya mazoezi, Lakini sikuwahi kwenda 15 raundi.”
Je! Mawazo yako yalikuwa yakienda kwenye mechi gani dhidi ya Hearns?
Leonard: “Nilihisi kuwa naweza kumpiga mtu yeyote. Ndugu yangu Roger hakufikiria ningeweza kumpiga Tommy. Hakuniambia kuwa hadi itakapomalizika. Katika kambi ya mazoezi nilikuwa nikimsanduku Roger na angeweka mikono mingi ya kulia. Alifikiria ikiwa mkono wa kulia wa Tommy utanifika juu yangu itakuwa imekwisha. Ndugu yangu hakuwa na kuniamini sana.”

In celebration of the best rivalries on SHOWTIME, see below for a special column from SHOWTIME Sports expert analyst and boxing historian Steve Farhood.

 

Legends

By Steve Farhood

 

Boxing without legends would be like religion without saints.

There’s no formula for a fighter to advance from star to superstar to legend. The process depends on timing, circumstance, and sometimes as little as a point or two on the judges’ kadi.

And oh, yeah: It helps if a guy can really fight.

As we celebrate 30 years of boxing on SHOWTIME, we’re focusing on a different theme each month. Throughout March, the theme will be Legends.

Katika 130 years from John L. Sullivan to Floyd Mayweather, boxing has given us what other sports can’t provide. Consider:

  • The Associated Press voted Luis Firpo’s knockdown of Jack Dempsey as the greatest sports moment of the first half of the 20th Century.
  • The Frazier-Ali “Fight Of The Century” in 1971 was easily the most anticipated sporting event in history.
  • Last year’s Mayweather-Pacquiao fight generated more than half-a-billion dollars — in one night!

Legends are made by big moments … and how they respond to those moments.

On SHOWTIME, we’ve featured three decades worth of legends. Here’s a look at those who will share the spotlight in March.

MARVIN HAGLER: Since Vince Lombardi didn’t exactly say, “Timing isn’t everything, it’s the only thing,” Hagler should’ve said it.

Hagler was a great fighter long before he was a superstar, but it wasn’t until he fought Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, and Sugar Ray Leonard (three of Hagler’s last six bouts) that Marvin became Marvelous.

Hagler’s one appearance on SHOWTIME, which happened to be the first bout televised on the network (Machi 1986), was the final win of his career. Undefeated over 10 miaka, Hagler had established himself as one of the greatest middleweights in history. And while it could be argued in hindsight that at age 31, the ultimate blue-collar fighter was slightly past his prime, much of what made Hagler special was on display during his savage defense against his unbeaten and ferocious challenger, John Mugabi.

Almost three decades after his retirement, Hagler remains the middleweight today’s 160-pounders are measured against.

Sugar Ray Leonard: If Hagler bloomed late, Leonard was a superstar before he threw a single punch as a professional.

Back in the mid-‘70s, that’s what a magnetic smile, an Olympic gold medal, and repeated exposure on prime time television could do for a young fighter.

It’s ironic that Leonard was initially viewed by some as a coddled creation of the media. Kwa kweli, he was as tough as any fighter of the star-studded early-‘80s. Better yet, he remains the best fighter I’ve covered in 38 years on the boxing beat.

Leonard’s appearance on SHOWTIME was the penultimate bout of his career. In electing to end yet another lengthy layoff, Sugar Ray, 34, chose outstanding 23-year-old super welterweight titlist Terry Norris as his opponent. Leonard dropped from 160 kwa 154 pounds and fought at Madison Square Garden for the first time.

The bout served as a reminder that at least in a pre-Bernard Hopkins world, boxing was very much a young man’s game.

FELIX TRINIDAD: There are only three Hispanic fighters who became superstars in the USA without speaking English. The first was Panama’s Roberto Duran. The second was Mexico’s Julio Cesar Chavez.

The third was Puerto Rico’s Trinidad.

Trinidad’s motto might as well have been, “If you can’t be from America, then beat America.”

A classic puncher with a boy scout’s smile and a fan-friendly personality, Trinidad made his name by defeating four U.S. Olympians, Pernell Whitaker, Oscar De La Hoya (albeit by a terrible decision), David Reid, and Fernando Vargas.

Aidha, Whitaker, De La Hoya, and Reid had all been gold medalists.

The fight we’ll feature on Machi 17 on SHO EXTREME, Utatu dhidi ya. Reid, was Trinidad’s 14th and final appearance on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and SHOWTIME pay-per-view.

From his welterweight title-winning kayo of Maurice Blocker in 1993 through his defense against Mahenge Zulu in 1998, 13 of Trinidad’s 14 bouts were aired on SHOWTIME. Twelve of those fights were knockout wins.

Where Trinidad ranks with Wilfredo Gomez, Miguel Cotto, Carlos Ortiz, Wilfred Benitez, and the rest of the legends from Puerto Rico is debatable. What is inarguable is that “Tito” generated as much excitement as any fighter of his era.

RICARDO LOPEZ: What’s smaller: the chance that a strawweight (105 paundi) becomes an American television star or the fighter himself?

There’s never been an American world champion at strawweight (or minimumweight). We just don’t grow fighters that size. Kwa kweli, until the emergence of Mexico’s Lopez in the early-’90s, most American boxing fans couldn’t have identified a single strawweight if armed with a map of the world and a set of WBC ratings.

Lopez was so complete, so dominant, so technically perfect, that from 1994 to ’99, he was a staple of SHOWTIME’s boxing programming. He fought 13 consecutive bouts on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING or SHOWTIME Pay-Per-View, and the first 11 of those contests were defenses of the strawweight title.

And if you think the little guys can’t punch, vizuri, there were some one-punch kayos sprinkled in.

Lopez, who retired with a mark of 51-0-1, is universally acknowledged as an all-time great. Too bad he never fought America’s Michael Carbajal at light flyweight. Had he won that bout, he’d likely be acknowledged as one of the two or three greatest Mexican fighters ever.

Which is saying a lot for a fighter who never faced an opponent recognized by the American viewing public.
