Usa sa labing kaayo sa tanan nga panahon…. 1988 Olympic silver medalist nga si Riddick “Big Daddy” Bowe

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Marso 9, 2020) - Sa bisan unsang mga sumbanan, U.S. Olympian ug kanhi unified World heavyweight champion Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe dili malalis nga usa sa labing bantogang boksidor sa tanang panahon, amateur ug propesyonal.

Natawo ug nagdako sa bantog nga seksyon sa Brownsville sa Brooklyn, New York, nga nagpatungha usab sa mga kaubang World heavyweight championMike Tyson ugShannon Briggs, Si Bowe nagsugod sa boksing sa 13 sa Bedford-Stuyvesant Boxing Association Gym.

Gipalambo ni Bowe ang iyang kahanas ug nahimong usa ka talagsaong boksingero, sa paghugpong sa usa ka 104-18 amateur nga rekord, gipasiugdahan sa iyang kontrobersyal nga silver-medal winning performance sa 1988 Olympic Games sa Seoul, South Korea.

Usa ka upat ka higayon nga kampeon sa New York Golden Gloves, Nakuha sab ni Bowe ang top honors sa 1986 Junior World Championships, uban sa usa ka bronze medal sa 1987 Pan American Games, bisan pa sa pagpakig-away sa iyang katapusan nga duwa uban sa usa ka bali nga kamot siya mitago gikan sa iyang mga coaches.

Si Bowe adunay kaatbang saRobert Salters, kinsa iyang gibahin sa upat ka duwa, apan iyang gipildi si Salters, 3-2, sa U.S. Box-Offs para makakwalipikar sa 1988 USA Boxing Olympic Team. Lakip sa iyang mga kauban sa OlympicRoy Jones, Jr., Ray MercerKennedy McKinney ugAndrew Maynard.

Gilibutan sa kontrobersiya ang iyang Olympic championship fight batok sa umaabot nga World heavyweight champion, Canadian super heavyweight Lennox Lewis, kinsa mipauli nga dala ang Olympic gold medal. Atol sa iyang away ni Lewis, Gikuhaan og puntos si Bowe alang sa usa ka “ghost” nga ulo nga wala mahitabo, ug ang referee mihatag kang Bowe og usa ka parisan sa gikalalis nga standing-eight counts, ang kataposan niini miresulta sa pagpahunong sa away pabor ni Lewis.

“Kanang awaya dili na unta maundang,” Mikomento si Bowe. “Nalipay gihapon ko nga nakadaog og silver medal. naa pa ko. Ug unya nahimo kong pro. Ang akong inahan adunay 13 mga bata ug ako gusto nga malipay ang akong inahan. Gusto ko nga paliton siya og balay. Mao kana ang nakapadasig kanako sa pag-boxing.”

"Ang kalampusan ni Bowe isip usa ka amateur ug propesyonal naghimo kaniya nga usa ka ngalan sa panimalay taliwala sa USA Boxing Alumni,"MiingonChris Cugliari, Direktor sa USA Boxing Alumni Association. "Ang iyang kombinasyon sa gahum ug kahanas, kauban ang iyang maalamat nga mga pakigsangka sa ubang mga USA Boxing Alumni sa pro rank, nagtukod kaniya nga usa sa labing bantugan nga mga manggugubat nga nahimo sukad sa USA Boxing.

Si Bowe miretiro sa usa ka talagsaon 43-1 (33 KOs) pro nga rekord. Siya adunay usa ka 5-1 (4 KOs) marka sa world title fights, 7-1 (5 KOs) batok sa nangaging mga world heavyweight champion sama saEvander Holyfield (kaduha), Pinklon ThomasTony TubbsBruce SeldonMichael Dokes ugHerbie Hyde.

Si Bowe sa ulahi mibawos sa iyang nag-inusarang pro kapildihan sa Holyfield, nakadaog og duha sa tulo ka away sa “Real Deal.”

“Nalipay kaayo ko sa akong pro career,"Midugang si Bowe. "Gipildi nako si Holyfield sa duha ka beses ug sa akong hunahuna kini kinahanglan nga tulo. Dili ako usa ka masakit nga pildi, apan ako ang World heavyweight champion. Giunsa niya pagdaog ang maong away? Kinahanglang kuhaon sa challenger ang bakus gikan sa kampiyon, ug wala niya kana buhata. Nagtuo ko nga nakadaog ko sa usa ka punto, sa pinakagrabe, basin unta ug draw, pero dili unta ko mapildi sa away. Nahimo kong labing una nga naka-knockout sa Holyfield. Ang akong propesyonal nga karera dili kaayo daotan. Nagpadayon ko sa pagtrabaho og maayo ug nahimong two-time World heavyweight champion.”

Karon 51 ug nagpuyo sa Maryland, Si Bowe adunay pipila ka tambag alang sa mga Amerikanong boksidor nga naningkamot nga mahimong kuwalipikado alang sa 2020 Team USA Boxing Olympic Team.

“Ayaw na lang hunahunaa,” gipasiugda ni Bowe, murag Nike commercial. “Buhata lang! Kini nagtrabaho alang kanako. Nagpakita ko ug wala maghunahuna bahin niini. Ug kanunay nga mahuman nga lig-on. ”

Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe, kinsa nasulod sa International Boxing Hall of Fame sa 2015, nagbilin sa iyang marka sa amateur ug pro boxing. Walay bisan kinsa nga makakuha niana gikan sa dako nga tawo gikan sa Brownsville.

“Smokin’”Joe Frazier punched way into USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame

klase sa 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 sa Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino sa Lake Charles, Louisiana

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Nobyembre 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, sa ulahing bahin sa, dako nga"Smokin'" Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Biyernes sa gabii, Disyembre 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, sa Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino sa Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Ang pagdawat sa HOF gihimo inubanan sa 2020 Olympic Trials ug 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, sa Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Dec. 15, sa Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino sa Lake Charles, Louisiana. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein gikan sa Showtime Sports ang magsilbing emcee sa maong kalihukan sa ikatulong sunodsunod nga tuig.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists"Daghang" George ForemanugMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coachesAl Mitchell ugRay Rodgers

Si Sen. John McCain will be posthumously presented a special Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work to protect boxers and elevate the sport.

“On behalf of our family,” Joe’s sonMarvis Frazier miingon, “we’d like to thank the USA Boxing Alumni Association for remembering Joe Frazier. Honoring him like this will introduce to him to new generations of boxing fans.

“My father learned discipline he needed to go on and win Olympic gold and do what he need to be world champion. He took that to the pros and beatMuhammad Ali in the best fight in the world. They were two great champions who worked together to show people what boxing is really all about.”

Born in South Carolina, Frazier was well known as an elite Philadelphia boxing product, sa paghugpong sa usa ka 38-2 amateur record. He was a three-time National Golden Gloves champion whose only two losses were both toBuster Mathis, who was the only opponent to defeat Frazier, including a loss by decision – questionable according to Frazier – in the Olympic Trials.

When U.S. Olympic Team heavyweight qualifierBuster Mathis was unable to compete at the 1964 Olympic Games due to injury, Frazier took full advantage of this opportunity as a replacement.

Frazier went on to become one of only four American boxers to medal in Tokyo, Joe the lone gold medalist, despite breaking a thumb in the semifinals. Sa opening round, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australia) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Russia) sa semifinal round, Frazier won by way of a second round KO, even though he broke his left thumb.

Unwilling to tell anybody that he had broken his thumb, fearing that he wouldn’t be allowed to fight, Frazier showed the tremendous grit he became famous for by winning a close decision, 3-2, batokHans Huber (United Team of Germany) in the championship final to capture a gold medal.

“Winning an Olympic gold medal was the highlight of his amateur career,” Marvis noted. “It meant that he was the best in the world, and it also made things easier for his next step into the pros. I think he felt it helped made him a real man, the best in the world, and not many people can say that. Winning Olympic gold with a broken thumb showed our father what he could do and proved that he was the man. He wasn’t afraid to get the job done. No excuses, get the jog done, was what my father said all the time. And you better had gotten the job done.”

Frazier (32-4-1, 27 KOs) went on to become a three-time world heavyweight champion, defeating the likes ofMuhammad AliJimmy Ellis (kaduha), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(kaduha), Jerry Quarry, MathisDoug JonesEddie Machen ugGeorge Chuvalo during his 16-year professional career.

Listed at only 5-11 ½, Frazier was best known for his bobby, weaving, relentless pressure and liver-damaging left hook. He passed away November 7, 2011 due to complications from liver cancer at the age of 67.

“Joe’s legacy will live on forever throughout USA Boxing,” addedChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “His toughness and heart were second to none, and today’s USA Boxing champions can look to Joe for the definition of a champion in and out of the ring. We look forward to honoring his legacy as a Hall of Famer on December 13th."

The GOAT boxing trainer….. Emanuel Piniyalan

USA Boxing Alumni Association, klase sa 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – The great Tommy Hearns & the late Manny Steward

Colorado Springs, Lap. (Nobyembre 19, 2018) – Ang ulahi Emanuel Piniyalan, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 nasulod sa USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

Ang ikaduha nga tinuig nga pagdawat sa Hall of Fame sa USA Boxing Alumni Association, gipahigayon inubanan sa 2018 USA Boxing Elite ug Youth National Championships ug Junior ug Prep Open, Disyembre 2-8, ipahigayon sa Disyembre 7, sa Radisson Hotel (215 S. Templo St.) sa Siyudad sa Salt Lake, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 sa edad nga 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.

 

 

 

Sa edad nga 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Ingon sa usa ka amateur boxer, he compiled a 94-3 nga rekord, nagpasiugda sa usa ka bulawan nga-medal performance sa 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.

 

 

 

Sa 1971, Steward became a part-time trainer at Kronk Gym, where he eventually guided many of the country’s top amateur boxers. Kronk Gym later became a property of Steward’s and he developed it into one of the most successful and famous boxing gyms in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward also served as National Director of Coaching for USA Boxing in the early 2000’s.

 

 

 

Throughout his incredible career, Steward reportedly trained 41 world champions, tingali, the most noteworthy were Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis ug Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, ug Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

The last world champion Manny trained was Adonis “Superman” Stevenson, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.

 

 

 

Emanuel would always say, knockouts ibaligya!” Stevenson fondly remembered. “He was also the first to tell me, ‘You will be a superstar and a world champion. Just make sure you don’t listen to people with bad intentions because you’ve got natural talent.He believed in me even if some people did not think I would ever become a world champion.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward impacted the lives of so many who walked through the doors of Kronk Gym,” miingon Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “While he’s most recognized for his achievement at the professional level, his impact was significant in the amateurs. Manny serves as a model coach for USA Boxing today, and his impact will be felt for a long time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association overwhelmingly supports his induction and looks forward to honoring him as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.

For years he would come to my National Silver Gloves Tournament that I sponsored and put on in Kansa City just to show his support of the youth program,” added USA Boxing president Juan Brown dugang pa. “Every year I would tell him to let me know if he was coming, so I could VIP him, and every year he would ignore me and just quietly show up. I would notice him in the crowd. I would ball him out and then we did the same thing the following year.

 

 

 

I also used to see him at big fights and he would always make me feel special by saying my company saved boxing in the seventies and eighties by providing safe, well-made, fair priced boxing equipment for the sport. No one else ever gave me that recognition. He was humble and not a blowhard, my kind of guy.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward left his mark on earth, not only as a multi-faceted personality in boxing, but he’s also remembered for his magnanimous charity work in Detroit, in which he helped youths in their pursuit of education.

 

 

 

Sa mubo nga, bisan, he taught boxing, and nobody has ever done it any better.

Simply the best….. Roy Jones, Jr.

USA Boxing Alumni Association, klase sa 2018 Inductee

Colorado Springs, Lap. (September 6, 2018) – Living legend Roy Jones, Jr., 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.

 

 

 

Ang ikaduha nga tinuig nga pagdawat sa Hall of Fame sa USA Boxing Alumni Association, gipahigayon inubanan sa 2018 USA Boxing Elite ug Youth National Championships ug Junior ug Prep Open, Disyembre 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, sa Radisson Hotel (215 S. Templo St.) sa Salk Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Dugang pa sa Jones, sa Class sa 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (propesyonal nga) mga kampeon, Andre Ward ug Claressa Shields, ingon man ang kanhi USA Boxing National Director sa Coaching Emanuel Piniyalan ug beteranong opisyal sa USA Boxing Tom Cleary. Ang ulahi nga duha ipaubos sa posthumously.

 

 

 

Ang charter class nga gi-induct sa miaging tuig naglakip Muhammad Ali ug Evander Holyfield, ingon man mga beteranong coach Roosevelt Sanders ug Tom Coulter.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

Jones, bali, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (Joe) Frazierand 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 nga rekord, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

Sa 1988 Olympics sa Seoul, South Korea, 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 sa 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, Florida, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall sa ikaduhang round. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 KOs) pro record, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

Sa 2003, Jones defeated Juan Ruiz 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, athleticism, movement and reflexes, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 pro away, 22-3 (14) sa kalibutan sa title away. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 KOs) and included among his victims were greats such as Bernard Hopkins, Santiago Toney, Mike McCallum,Vinnie Pazienza, Virgil Hill, Antonio Tarver ug Felix Trinidad.

 

 

 

Karon, 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” sa Las Vegas, 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,” miingon Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director, “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.

 

 

 

Gibuhat aron kampeon sa tibuok kinabuhi, mutually beneficial nga relasyon tali sa USA Boxing ug sa alumni niini, –boxers, mga opisyal, coach ug boxing fans — the Alumni Association connects generations of champions, makapadasig ug naghatag balik sa umaabot nga boxing champion sa USA Boxing, sa ug gikan sa mga singsing.

 

 

 

Ang USA Boxing Alumni Association bukas sa bisan kinsa nga adunay gugma sa boksing ug gusto nga magpabilin nga konektado sa amateur boxing.

Quotes of Note from other World Champions

 

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

 

Montell Griffin: “Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) was no comparison as far as speed. Roy was much faster.

 

Mike McCallum: “(Jones is) the greatest fighter of all time.

 

 

 

 

If he ever hangs-up his gloves for good, Roy Jones, Jr. will be a first ballot inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. There may never be another boxer quite like RJJ.
