Jedan od najboljih svih vremena .... 1988 Osvajač olimpijske srebrne medalje Riddick "Veliki tata" Bowe

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Ožujak 9, 2020) - Po bilo kojim standardima, U.S. Olimpijac i bivši jedinstveni svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji Riddick "Veliki tata" Bowe nesumnjivo je jedan od svih najvećih boksača, amaterski i profesionalni.

Rođen i odrastao u zloglasnom dijelu Brownsvillea u Brooklynu, Njujork, koji je također iznjedrio svjetske prvake u teškoj kategorijiMike Tyson aShannon Briggs, Bowe je počeo boksati u 13 u teretani boksačkog saveza Bedford-Stuyvesant.

“Htio sam učiniti sveMuhammad Ali učinio,Bowe je objasnio zašto se bavio boksom. “Bio je moj idol. Htio sam se pridružiti marincima, ali zaljubio sam se u boks i ostao s njim. Zaboravio sam na marince. "

Bowe je razvio svoj zanat i postao izvanredan boksač, prikupljanja 104-18 amaterski rekord, istaknuo svojim kontroverznim nastupom na srebrnoj medalji na 1988 Olimpijske igre u Seulu, Južna Koreja.

Četverostruki prvak zlatnih rukavica New Yorka, Bowe je također zauzeo najviše počasti na 1986 Svjetsko juniorsko prvenstvo, zajedno s brončanom medaljom na 1987 Pan American Games, unatoč tome što se u svom posljednjem meču borio s prijelomom ruke koju je skrivao od svojih trenera.

Bowe je imao rivalstvo sRobert Salters, s kojim je podijelio četiri šibice, ali je pobijedio Saltersa, 3-2, u USP. Box-off za kvalificiranje za 1988 Boksački olimpijski tim SAD-a. Uključili su i njegove olimpijske suigračeRoy Jones, Jr., Ray MercerKennedy McKinney aAndrew Maynard.

Kontroverzni okruživao svoju borbu na olimpijskom prvenstvu protiv budućeg svjetskog prvaka u teškoj kategoriji, Kanadski superteškaš Lennox Lewis, koji se kući vratio sa zlatnom olimpijskom medaljom. Tijekom njegove borbe s Lewisom, Boweu je oduzet bod za kundak glave "duha" koji se nikada nije dogodio, a sudac je Boweu dao par osporavanih osam točaka, od kojih je posljednja rezultirala zaustavljanjem borbe u Lewisovu korist.

“Tu borbu nikada nije trebalo zaustaviti,”Komentirao je Bowe. “Još uvijek sam sretan zbog osvajanja srebrne medalje. Još uvijek ga imam. A onda sam postao profesionalac. Moja majka je imala 13 djeca i željela sam usrećiti majku. Htio sam joj kupiti kuću. To je ono što me nadahnulo za boks. "

“Boweov amaterski i profesionalni uspjeh stvorio mu je ime među američkim bivšim boksačkim studentima,", Rekao jeChris tofflemire, Direktor Udruge američkih boksačkih boksača. “Njegova kombinacija moći i vještine, zajedno sa svojim legendarnim bitkama s ostalim američkim bivšim boksačkim profesionalcima, uspostavlja ga kao jednog od najvećih boraca koje je USA Boxing ikad proizveo.

Bowe se povukao s nevjerojatnom 43-1 (33 Kos) pro zapis. Imao je 5-1 (4 Kos) marka u borbama za svjetski naslov, 7-1 (5 Kos) naspram prošlih svjetskih prvaka u teškoj kategoriji kao što suEvander Holyfield (dvaput), Pinklon thomasTony TubbsBruce SeldonMichael Dokes aHerbie Hyde.

“Jako sam zadovoljan svojom profesionalnom karijerom,”Dodao je Bowe. “Pobijedio sam Holyfielda dva puta i mislim da su trebala biti tri. Nisam bolni gubitnik, ali bio sam svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji. Kako je pobijedio u toj borbi? Izazivač treba uzeti pojas prvaku, a on to nije učinio. Mislio sam da sam pobijedio na bod, U najgorem slucaju, možda je trebalo biti neriješeno, ali nisam smio izgubiti borbu. Postao sam prvi koji je ikad nokautirao Holyfielda. Moja profesionalna karijera nije bila loša. Nastavio sam vrijedno raditi i postao dvostruki svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji. "

Sada 51 i živi u Marylandu, Bowe ima nekoliko savjeta za američke boksače koji se pokušavaju kvalificirati za 2020 Tim USA boksački olimpijski tim.

“Samo nemoj razmišljati o tome,”Naglasio je Bowe, zvučeći poput Nikeove reklame. "Jednostavno učinite to! Uspjelo mi je. Pojavio sam se i nisam razmišljao o tome. I uvijek završi snažno. "

Riddick "Veliki tata" Bowe, koji je primljen u Međunarodnu boksačku Kuću slavnih godine 2015, ostavio traga u amaterskom i pro boksu. Nitko to nikad ne može oduzeti velikom tipu iz Brownsvillea.

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

Razred 2019 ceremony Dec. 13 at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Studeni 21, 2019) – One of boxing’s all-time greatest, kasno, velika“Smokin’” Joe Frazier, will be inducted posthumously into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, Petak navečer, Prosinac 13, during a special Class of 2019 ceremony, at Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The HOF reception is being held in conjunction with the 2020 Olympic Trials and 2019 National Championships Dec. 7-15, at Lake Charles Civic Center. The finals of the Olympic Trials will be held Sunday, Prosinca. 15, at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Hall of Fame broadcasterAl Bernstein from Showtime Sports will serve as the event’s emcee for the third year in a row.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association’s third HOF class also includes two other Olympic gold-medalists“Big” George ForemanaMark Breland, in addition to a pair of decorated coachesAl Mitchell aRay Rodgers

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 rekla, “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, prikupljanja 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. U krugu otvaranja, Frazier knocked outGeorge Olynello (Uganda), followed by a third-round stoppage ofAthol McQueen (Australija) in the quarterfinals. AgainstVadim Yemelyanov (Rusija) u polufinalu krugu, 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, naspramHans 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 (dvaput), Bob Foster, Oscar Bonavena(dvaput), Jerry Quarry, MathisDoug JonesEddie Machen aGeorge 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 tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “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 Steward

SAD Boks Alumni Association, Razred 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – The great Tommy Hearns & the late Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Studeni 19, 2018) – The late Emanuel Steward, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 getting inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Prosinac 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

U dobi od 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Kao amaterski boksač, he compiled a 94-3 rekord, istaknuo je nastup zlatne medalje na 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.

 

 

 

U 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 svjetski prvaci, možda, the most noteworthy were Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis a Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, a Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

Emanuel would always say, miševa prodaju!” 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,” rekla Chris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “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 Jovan Braon dodano. “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.

 

 

 

Ukratko, iako, he taught boxing, and nobody has ever done it any better.

Simply the best….. Roy Jones, Jr.

SAD Boks Alumni Association, Razred 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Rujan 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.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Prosinac 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) in Salk Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Osim Jones, klasi 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (profesionalac) champions, Andre Ward a Claressa Shields, as well as former USA Boxing National Director of Coaching Emanuel Steward and veteran USA Boxing official Tom Cleary. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.

 

 

 

The charter class inducted last year included Muhammad Ali a Evander Holyfield, as well as veteran coaches Roosevelt Sanders a 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, ironično, 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 rekord, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

Na 1988 Olimpijske igre u Seulu, Južna Koreja, 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 za 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 Olimpijada i, 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 u drugom krugu. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 Kos) pro zapis, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

U 2003, Jones defeated John 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 borbe, 22-3 (14) u poretku Svjetskog borbama. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 Kos) and included among his victims were greats such as Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Mike McCallum,Vinnie Pazienza, Virgil Hill, Antonio Tarver a Felix Trinidad.

 

 

 

Danas, 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” U Las Vegasu, 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,” rekla Chris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor, “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.

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.
