Back to the future with Hall of Famer Virgil Hill

Skryf 'n opmerking

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (April 20, 2018) —

Virgil “Quicksilver” Hill has gone back to the future, parlaying what he learned as an amateur boxer into a Olympic silver medal, five world titles in two weight class, induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF), and now giving back as a Los Angeles-based boxing coach and invaluable member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

“Winning the WBA (World Boxing Association) en IBF (Internasionale Boksfederasie) world titles were all big.” Hill spoke about his greatest boxing achievement, “But the Olympics come around every four years with only one guy from each country, if that, in each weight class. It’s very difficult. I had competed against some of the best athletes in the world, right here in the United States, preparing to represent our country in the Olympics against the best in the world. We sparred each other at camp. US fighters all have a target on their backs.

 

 

 

 

“I fought in 10 different countries that year (1984), but the best Olympics ever was held here in Los Angeles. Half of our team went on to become world champions as pro fighters and three are in the Hall of Fame (Hill, Evander Holyfield en Pernell Whitaker). I wasn’t picked to win a medal in my class. I should have won a gold medal but lost in the final (middelgewigtitel afdeling) to a Korean fighter (Shin Joon-Sup, 2-3). Losing was tough but the opportunity to be on the US Olympic Boxing Team was the highlight of my boxing career, even more so than winning my world titles.”

 

 

 

 

Hill grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. He watched the Golden Gloves on television and asked his father if he could learn to box. His response was, maybe if we move to a city. “Onthou,” Hill noted, “a city for me back then was only 50,000 mense. We did move to Grand Forks and my father asked me if I still wanted to box. He brought me to a local gym when I was eight and I started training right away.”

 

 

 

 

After capturing a gold medal at the 1984 Nasionale Golden Gloves Toernooi, Hill went to the USA Boxing training facility, where he learned a lot being around so many different people and boxing styles. Although he’s part Puerto-Rican, Hill is a Native-American who grew up in a predominantly German and Norwegian state (North Dakota).

 

 

 

 

“There were not many blacks or Latinos,” Hill admitted. “We grew up poor, but not ghetto poor. I learned a lot. My roommate (at USA Boxing’s training facility) was a 106-pound Puerto-Rican from New Jersey, Jose Lazario. Jose took me for a haircut one day and, when I went back to North Dakota, I had a bounce in my step and people there were all looking at my haircut. Evander Holyfield taught me how to iron. He wouldn’t go with me to the mall unless I ironed my jeans. I sat and listened to know what to expect.”

 

 

 

 

Hill completed his amateur career with an incredible 288-11 rekord, married a woman who was on the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team, Denean Howard (two-time gold and two-time silver medalist), and turned professional November 15, 1984, stop Arthur Wright in the second round at famed Madison Square Garden.

 

 

 

 

He had moved to Las Vegas to train with legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, en sy assistent, Freddie Roach. “I was on my own for the first time,” Hill explained. “They were good role models who prepared me to be a pro boxer, as well as for life.

 

 

 

 

Hill fought professionally until 2015, wen 51 van 58 pro gevegte, 24 deur uitklophou, with only seven losses. Hy het sy eerste 30 pro gevegte, including a fourth-round win by technical knockout of Leslie Stewart in sy 19ste pro fight to capture the WBA world light heavyweight title. Hill made 10 successful WBA title defenses, including eight in Bismarck, North Dakota, before losing for the first time as a pro in 1991 to future Hal of Famer Tommy Hearns.

 

 

 

 

 

Hill later recaptured the WBA world light heavyweight crown and he eventually added the IBF world light heavyweight title, in addition to becoming three-time WBA cruiserweight world champion. He retired in 2007 and then make a one-fight comeback February 28, 2015, stop Jimmy Campbell in the second round in Bismarck, marking Hill’s final fight.

 

 

 

 

During his remarkable pro career, Hill had a 24-5 (7 Uitklophoue) world title fight record, including victories over Stewart, Marvin Camel, Adolpho Washington, Lou Del Valle, Donny Lalond, Bobby Czyz, Fabrice Tiozzo (twee keer), Henry Maske and Hill’s 1984 US Olympic teammate, Frank Tate (twee keer).

 

 

 

 

Hill remains in boxing as a trainer and occasionally a co-promotes pro-am shows in North Dakota. In Los Angeles, Hill currently trains one pro and nine amateurs. “I love being a trainer,” Hill exclaimed. “There are some special kids, the real athletic ones, but it’s the others that often make it for me. Those who aren’t as athletic and really need to work hard. Once you get a few of the kids working hard, the rest follow in line. This isn’t a democracy; it’s a dictatorship and I push ’em hard. Our LBC has 180 fights a year. I do all the matching and, if they’re in too tough, I top the fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s striving to be better, dissipline, accomplishments and competition.

 

 

 

 

“The Elite boxers are moving on to the next level, establishing themselves to make a name and enter the pros. Ninety-five percent of the others aren’t. Boxing is still a poor man’s sport and sometimes the only option for some of these kids have is boxing. And boxing is still a very dangerous, unforgiving sport. The sky’s the limited, good and bad, for these kids. Boxing occupies their time. Some kids need more encouragement, others need to believe more in themselves. This is where they come from and who they become.”

 

 

 

 

Not only is Hill giving back as a coach, he’s key member of and spokesperson for the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be involved,” Hill talked about his back to the future journey in boxing. “It’s about time we had an alumni organization. Only the top three-percent of boxers make it big. It’s great watching everybody mix and mingle at alumni gatherings. This is about respect for each other; it’s a kinship.”

Amateur boks: VSA vs Ierland New England -toer sluit af met 'n fantastiese aand van aksie in Manchester, NH

Vegverslag Deur: Rich Bergeron

Bok -aanhangers het die Manchester Downtown -hotel Woensdagaand volgepak om 'n skouspelagtige aand van elite -amateurbokse in te neem. Dit was die laaste stop op 'n drie-stad toer van Boston en Springfield, Massachusetts en Manchester, New Hampshire. Die geplande gevegte het Team USA -amateurs gekonfronteer met die beste amateur -boksers uit Ierland. By die laaste klok, Ierland het daarin geslaag om die agt wedstryde van die aand af te sluit met 'n gelykop telling, hul beste uitkoms van die toer. Team USA het die eerste twee tweestryde van die toer in Boston en Springfield gewen, onderskeidelik, deur tellings van 8-4 en 7-3.

 

Woensdag se gevegte was nie net oor wen nie, egter. Vir die meerderheid van die betrokke boksers was dit 'n goeie geleentheid om hul tegnieke te verfyn en 'n broodnodige internasionale kompetisie-ervaring op te doen. Sommige van die beste presteerders van Woensdagaand verteenwoordig waarskynlik ook hul onderskeie lande in die komende 2020 Olimpiese Spele.

 

 

Die hoofgebeurtenis van die aand word aangebied 2016 Wêreldkampioenskappe vir jongmense Bronsmedaljewenner Richard Torrez oorheers die driemalige Ierse nasionale kampioen Dean Gardiner. Die hoë hoogte en lang reikafstand van die Ierse vegter kon eenvoudig nie die vinnige pas en uitstekende verdedigingshouding van die korter Amerikaner oorkom nie.

 

Torrez het die eerste ronde deurgebring met die uitvoer van meesterlike knipsels en stryk, terwyl hy met 'n paar bomhake geslaan het. Torrez het vlakke verander, gebruik gladde kopbeweging, en laat nooit sy voet van die gas af toe Gardiner vroeg met 'n ongebalanseerde en wilde benadering vorentoe beweeg nie. 'N Dodelike liggaamskoot het in die eerste geval vir die Ier verbind, maar nie veel anders nie.

 

Torrez het die vinnige werkstempo in die volgende raam aangehou, los die linker- en regterhake los en land skoon deur 'n groot deel van die rondte. Hy het maklik na die lyf en kop geslaan, hoewel 'n groot deel van die ronde sy teenstander toegesmeer het en wag vir openinge. Een regs links van Torrez het sy teenstander vir 'n oomblik laat wankel, maar die langer man het herstel en 'n fenomenale linkerhaak aan die kop van Torrez geland terwyl hy van die tou af veg. Gardiner het probeer om meestal reguit houe aan die buitekant te kry, en dit was skynbaar nie in staat om sy houe naby te keer nie.

In die derde ronde het albei vegters dit uitgehaal tot by die laaste klokkie met een van die wildste heen en weer -uitruilings van die nag, maar dit was te min en te laat vir Gardiner. Hy kon net nie sy bereik bel nie. Torrez het net weer sy teenstander oortref en 'n paar gladde bo -snitte gekry om met sy donderslag regs en links te gaan. Hy het die steek spaarsamig maar effektief gebruik, spandeer 'n groot deel van die finale raam wat gerig is op die liggaam van Gardiner. Torrez het die eenparige oorwinning behaal met sy vertoning en het nie meer as 'n handjievol harde houe in die proses geneem nie.

 

Kelly Harrington, 'n Wêreldkampioenskap silwermedaljewenner uit Ierland, het waarskynlik die mees meesterlike vertoning van haar span gehad om na 'n eenparige beslissingsoorwinning oor Stacia Suttles in die eerste wedstryd van die nag te kom. Suttles het gesukkel om haarself by die ideale ponsgebied te hou teen die onverbiddelike aanval van Harrington in die eerste ronde, 'n groot deel van die drie minute spandeer en wag om die skerp kombinasies van haar teenstander te vermy. Suttles het haar stomp redelik konsekwent gekry, en sy het laat in die rondte 'n paar kombinasies begin bymekaarmaak, maar Harrington is 'n absolute kenner wat kopbeweging betref. Sy lyk asof Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was een van haar afrigters, aangesien sy 'n hand-lae tegniek met konstante vingers gebruik het, pons gly en vlak verander. In die eerste ronde beland sy 'n pragtige reguit linkerkant na die kop en 'n fantastiese kombinasie van lyf en kop wat stewig beland het. Sy los 'n paar hakies los, alhoewel 'n paar wilde hooimakers was. Hieronder is 'n foto van Harrington tydens een van die kort oomblikke in die geveg, waar sy albei hande opgehef het om haar gesig te beskerm.

Suttles het Harrington in die tweede ronde met 'n paar blik- en skietskote gevang, maar dit lyk asof sy sukkel om krag agter haar houe te kry. Sy het wel 'n paar ordentlike regte hande met haar teenstander verruil, maar aan die einde van die ronde was dit duidelik dat sy net nie 'n ritme in die stryd sou kon vind nie as gevolg van die listigheid van haar teenstander. Harrington het dieselfde rondte deurgebring om haar reeks met skerp te maak 1-2 kombinasies en regte loodregte verbind. Harrington het ook 'n paar kragtige linkerhake aangeteken met 'n perfekte reguit regterlanding net 'n paar oomblikke later.
Die derde ronde was meer dieselfde vir albei vegters. Suttles het 'n groot deel van die raamwerk gewerk om haar teenstander op te spoor, maar elke keer het sy afgelaai, sy het daarvoor betaal. Een besonder stewige linkerhaak het laat in die ronde geland, maar dit was net nie genoeg nie. Harrington het 'n groot deel van die afgelope drie minute probeer om met die vleuel met die regterhand te skakel. Sy het laat in die ronde een van haar hardste slae in die geveg gekry en haar opponent kort voor die klok verstom om die geveg te beëindig. Harrington neem 'n eenparige besluit weg en lyk na die gewig as een van die belowendste boksers op haar gewig 2020 Olimpiese Spele.
Nog 'n voorbeeld van hoogte wat op die een of ander manier 'n nadeel was, het 'n rol gespeel in die ander vroulike geveg op die kaart. Team USA se Leah Cooper (#2 Amerikaanse vroulike middelgewig) gebruik eend en vee om die groter bereik van Aoife Burke te vermy. Cooper het uit 'n halfhurk geveg, dit maak dit vir Burke moeilik om met die grootste meerderheid van haar slae met 'n beduidende mag te beland. Die 8-keer Nasionale Ierse kampioen
het 'n paar plekke in die geveg gehad waar sy weer beheer oor die aksie gekry het, maar Cooper het die regte aanpassings gemaak om die bedreigings tot die minimum te beperk.
Cooper het 'n swermaanval uitgevoer om die eerste ronde te begin, afvuur 1-2 kombinasies en steun Burke up. Sy was geduldig en volhard gedurende die hele raamwerk, bly laag en buite bereik van Burke se kragskote. Burke het uitstekende verdediging getoon, maar sy kon net een hou op 'n slag gooi en land. Sy het 'n skerp stukkie deur die hele ronde vertoon, maar dit het Cooper net nie afgeskrik nie. Burke het haar beste oomblikke van die ronde in die rigting van die laaste klok, meng skote met die liggaam en kop, insluitend 'n harde regterhaak aan die kop.
Burke het vir die tweede ronde aan die brand gesteek, storm Cooper met 'n vinnige vuur 1-2 kombinasies en hake. Sy meng ook 'n gladde bo -sny wat Cooper se ken gevind het. Cooper het die storm verduur, val net kort in die strik. Sy herwin haar kalmte, 'n paar uitstekende toonbanke gekry, en verander wat Burke se beste ronde kon gewees het in die ergste van die Ierse kampioen. Cooper bly kalm en koel, ondanks die neem van die moeilikste skote, het haar teenstander in die stryd beland. Sy het 'n paar uitstekende gekry 1-2 kombinasies na Burke se aanval, uiteindelik 'n sny naby Burke se linkeroog oopgemaak en haar neus bebloed. Cooper se harde lyfpons het Burke ook kort na die doek laat hurk na 'n stewige regterhaak.
Burke het die derde ronde 'n bietjie laat begin nadat hy deur die dokter aan die kant van die kantoor besoek is. Sy het weer begin met 'n vlaag bomaanvalle. Sy het die liggaam en die kop geteiken, maar Cooper versamel haarself weer en gaan aan die werk. Sy het die vlakke goed verander en met woedende hake begin skakel, eers na die liggaam en dan terug na die kop. Sy het ook voortgegaan met 'n aktiewe jab en het 'n veelvoud gekry 1-2 kombinasies. Burke het in die laaste oomblikke van die geveg nog 'n laat vlaag reggekry, maar Cooper het steeds die eenparige oorwinning behaal.
Team USA se liggewig James Browning het Woensdagaand die stryd aangesê met Ierland se Francis Cleary as 'n tweemalige bokskampioen in die VSA. Cleary, 'n nege keer Ierse nasionale kampioen, verteenwoordig Browning se eerste kraak by internasionale kompetisie. Albei vegters het hul oomblikke gehad, maar dit sou wees dat Browning die oorwinning behaal aan die einde van drie vermaaklike, heen en weer aksierondes.
Browning het die eerste ronde deurgebring om 'n hoër werksnelheid as sy teenstander vas te stel en baie beweging te gebruik om die aanval van Cleary te vermy. Hy het ook 'n konsekwente steek gekry, vermeng sy liggaam en kopskote goed. Alhoewel hy die ronde gewen het, Browning het baie risiko's geneem en die prys betaal. Cleary het sy plekke gekies en die meer skoon en kragtige slae losgemaak toe hy kon land. Hy kon net nie genoeg verbind nie, en hy het byna elke keer uit die moeilikheid gekom toe hy in 'n nabye omgewing geveg het.
Dit het duidelik nog 'n paar skerp bomme in die tweede raam geland, raak meer aggressief en begin sy voortdurend bewegende teenstander opspoor. 'N Donsende linkerhaak naby die einde van die ronde het met Browning se kop gekoppel en die indrukwekkende huis van aanhangers beïndruk. Steeds, Browning bly besig en het goed gevaar in die afwisseling tussen die twee vegters. Hy was dikwels wild, maar die werkuitset het Cleary daarvan weerhou om die rondte te steel.
Cleary kom uit vir die derde ronde met 'n hernieude woede, besig met 'n wilde geveg met Browning. Dit was die beste ronde van die stryd vir Cleary, en Browning kon nie die ontwykendheid wat hy in die vorige rondes getoon het, handhaaf nie. Die Ierse vegter het nog 'n bloeiende linkerhaak in die ronde geland, het toonbanke met 'n perfekte tydsberekening, en hou aan tot by die klok. Browning blyk beslis aan die einde van die stryd gefrustreerd en moeg te wees. Steeds, twee uit die drie beoordelaars was seker hy verdien die oorwinning, verdien 'n gesplete oorwinning.
Die volgende wedstryd het agtmalige Ierse nasionale kampioen, Wayne Kelley, teen die 13-jarige Amerikaanse nasionale kampioen, Adrian Benton, in 'n noue weltergewigstryd getref.. Albei jong vegters het ligpunte in die wedstryd gehad, maar Kelley het daarin geslaag om die gesplete beslissingsoorwinning met 'n knap uit te haal, dapper inspanning.
Benton het die beter eerste ronde gehad danksy 'n swermaanval. Hy het binne en buite bereik gewerk met 1-2 kombinasies en spaarhake. Hy het al sy hoeke goed gebruik, maklik uit die moeilikheid beweeg en in 'n effektiewe bereik kom. Kelley het gesukkel om tellers te kry tot op die laaste oomblikke van die ronde toe hy sy eie vlaag gekry het 1-2 kombinasies.
Kelley het die tweede ronde met baie meer krag en krag begin. Hy het vroeg en gereeld geland, linkerhand gevou en 'n sny op Benton se lip oopgemaak. Benton het 'n paar van die gevaarliker slae ingegooi, skote goed geblokkeer en skerp geland, eie skote. Sy beste uitruil was 'n linker- en regterhaak teen die kop wat naby die middel van die ronde beland het.
Kelley het in die laaste ronde effens vertraag, kon nie sy ideale reeks vind nie. Hy kry 'n paar harde regterhande, 'n goed geplaasde liggaam geskiet en afgelaai met 'n laat storm. Benton het vroeg in die ronde besig gehou en kunstig onder 'n bomaanval van Kelley ingeduik. Dit lyk asof die beoordelaars meer beïndruk was met Kelley se kalmte in die laaste twee rondes, terwyl Benton aanhoudend tot slordige bakleiery getrek het.. Kelley het die oorwinning behaal met a 2-1 marge.
Die ligte weltergewigte kom daarna, lewer nog 'n stywe wedstryd. Ierland se Caoimhin Ferguson het 'n effens beter taktiese benadering teen Team USA se Charlie Sheehy geveg, verdien nog 'n gesplete besluit oorwinning vir sy span.
Sheehy het in die eerste ronde 'n meer versigtige en geduldige benadering aangeneem, wag vir die perfekte oomblik om te gooi en te land. Sy beste slae van die ronde was 'n harde regterhand aan die lyf en 'n stysel. Ferguson het meer werk in die raamwerk gedoen, met verskeie hake teen die kop en 'n paar keer wilde en mal vlae loslaat. Een spesifieke linkerhaak het in die laaste oomblikke van die ronde hard teen Sheehy se kop vasgery.
Ferguson het 'n paar behoorlike houe in die tweede ronde behaal, maar Sheehy was baie meer gekomponeer. Hy werk rond in die wildswaai, hardnekkige aanranding deur afstand te hou en van buite af te score met 'n paar skerp regte op die ken. Die vegters het 'n paar hake aan die liggaam geruil en voor die einde van die rondte in 'n knippie beland.
Sheehy het in die laaste ronde gesukkel om slae saam te snoer. Alhoewel hy 'n mooi reguit regterhand vir hom gehad het, Ferguson kon sy verdediging binnedring. Ferguson het vroeg 'n stampende linkerhaak geland en nog 'n paar bomme geland voordat hy sy mondstuk in een ruil verloor het. Hy het waarskynlik geweet dat hy sterk moes eindig om die beoordelaars aan sy kant te kry, Ferguson het in die laaste sekondes met 'n laaste haakstorm gehaas. Hy verdien 'n 2-1 besluit wen vir sy volharding.
Welterweights Kieron Molloy (Ierland) en Freudis Rojas, Jr. (USA) vierkantig af in 'n ander stryd. Albei vegters is vorige bronsmedaljes van die Wêreldkampioenskap, met Molloy wat ook nege Ierse nasionale titels opeis en Rojas die Amerikaanse onderdane wen 10 tye tot dusver. Dit was nog 'n noue oorwinning vir Team Ireland.
Rojas was duidelik die meer aktiewe vegter in die eerste ronde. Hy gebruik 'n konsekwente steek en verhoog sy werksnelheid deur die raam. Hy was besig met die aanval tot die klok. Molloy begin die ronde vleuelskote en probeer sy bereik bereik. Hy het 'n bietjie laat losgelaat in sommige van die kwaai uitruilings, kon nie uitvind hoe om sy kombinasies aan die gang te kry nie, en dit was moeilik om die vinniger Rojas in te haal. Molloy het wel uitstekende reguit links geland, al.
Die volgende ronde het baie beter gegaan vir die Ierse suidpoot. Hy het begin met 'n styging in sy ponsuitset, hoewel hy nog steeds gesukkel het om kombinasies te land. Op 'n stadium in die rondte, Molloy verbind met 'n groot reguit links, opgevolg deur 'n lekker kragstoot, vertraag sy teenstander. Rojas het aanhou vorentoe kom, maar kon nie in die ronde gebruik maak van die skep van geleenthede nie. 'N Laat vlaag stampe van Rojas was nie genoeg vir hom om die rondte te steel nie.
Rojas landed some excellent shots in the final round, going downstairs to the body frequently. He also caught Molloy against the ropes, blasting him with straight punches. Molloy fought the smarter round, al, picking the best times to throw and often catching Rojas with his hands down. His best exchange of the round featured a huge 1-2 connecting to the head and a wild left hook to the head. A final swarm of punches from the Irish fighter closed the show and earned him a 2-1 split decision win.
Team USA’s Nikita Ababiy scored a hard-fought win in a wild affair before the main event with Team Ireland’s Gerard French. The first round saw Ababiy jabbing well. The American came into the fight with a very non-traditional boxing stance with one hand low, maar dit lyk asof sy postuur effektief was om sy teenstander in 'n peilgebied te lok. Ababiy het 'n paar knalhake gekry en 'n mooi linkerkantse snit wat Frans ondersteun het. Intussen, Frans konsentreer daarop om tellers te probeer land. Hy het 'n laer werksyfer, maar het ook nie te veel straf opgelê nie.
French het die tweede ronde deurgaans probeer ruil. Hy het later in die ronde nog houe gekry, insluitend 'n paar verhitte regterhake in die laaste oomblikke. Ababiy het 'n paar skootskote in die ronde gemaak en ook 'n goeie verdediging aangebied. Hy meng sy skote teen die liggaam en kop, gooi en bedek om te wag vir die volgende opening. Ababiy het 'n goeie linkerhaak teen die kop gekry, gevolg deur 'n perfekte regterkant in die laaste minuut. Hy het die ronde goed afgesluit op pad na sy eerste oorwinning.
Die laaste ronde het Ababiy effens vertraag, maar hy was steeds effektief genoeg om die raam te dra. French het 'n paar skerp linkerhake aan die kop geslaan, maar hy kon nie uitvind watter styl sy teenstander na die ring gebring het nie. Die Amerikaner het na die eenparige besluit gewen.
Die aand het ook begin met die enigste stop op die kaart danksy 'n woeste geveg tussen die plaaslike 132 pond Manchester, NH -nuwelinge Michael Correa en Abhisek Thapa. Correa vlieg oor die ring toe hy die openingsklok hoor en los die een storm na die ander. Thapa het hom nie deur die tornado laat verswelg nie, al. Hy bedek hom net en wag vir sy geleenthede. Dit het net 'n paar minute geneem voordat Correa begin moeg raak vir die meedoënlose aanval. Thapa waai toe in om van die indrukwekkendste skote van die nag te kom, dwing die skeidsregter om die stryd te stop vir drie staande agt tellings voordat die einde uiteindelik met 'n stormwind van kragstoot van Thapa gekom het.

 

Die bokser Floyd Mayweather het ook 'n gasverskyning gemaak, Jr. noem nog steeds sy moeilikste teenstander ooit, Emanuel Augustus (3-34-6, 20 Uitklophoue). Augustus het die vorige aand aan 'n reünie deelgeneem “Ierse” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Uitklophoue), vier een van die beste gevegte in die geskiedenis van die sport, wat op Julie plaasgevind het 13, 2001. Augustus het vasgehou vir die gevegte en het selfs in die ring gekom om aan te toon dat hy nog steeds dieselfde ponsvernuf het wat hom een ​​van die vermaaklikste vegters van sy era gemaak het..
'Ons het uit hierdie toer geleer dat ons daar is met die beste spanne ter wêreld,”Het die hoofafrigter van Team USA, Billy Walsh, gesê. 'Span Ierland is baie goed, jong span. Ons gaan 'n goeie span hê om na Tokio te stuur (2020 Olimpiese Spele). Ek is trots op my span. Hulle het almal baie hard gewerk. Ons het nie van ons beste boksers gehad nie, omdat sommige aan 'n internasionale toernooi deelgeneem het 18-19-20 jariges wat ons sal uitmaak 2020 Olimpiese span. ”

Team Ireland het ook hul eie produksiespan gebring om al die aksies te verfilm vir diegene wat nie daar kon wees nie:

Skryf 'n opmerking
Emanuel Augustus joins special guests Micky Ward & Steve Smoger to complete memorable fight
Maart 21 in Manchester, NH
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Maart 19, 2018) – Retired pro boxer Emanuel Augustus has confirmed his attendance this week at a USA Boxing-hosted reunion of the 2001 Stryd van die Jaar, associated with the final stop on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour festivities in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Die 2001 Fight of the Year was held July 13, 2001, at Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton, NH., and it is still considered one of the greatest matches ever broadcast on ESPN. “Ierse” Micky Ward won an incredibly entertaining, back-and-forth junior welterweight match-up with “boxing cult” hero Emanuel Augustus, by way of a 10-round unanimous decision that was much closer than the judges’ scoring indicated (98-90, 96-91, 96-94).
“Ward versus Augustus was truly the event of the year in boxing and we’re so happy it was held right here in New Hampshire,” said Stephen, who has been in his position as chairman since 1974, “Micky was losing the fight until the later rounds. As the chairperson of he commission, I checked the judges’ scorecards after six or seven rounds and Micky was losing. Dan, Micky caught Augustus, dropped and really hurt him. He went on to win a great fight.”
The high-profile win positioned Ward for what turned out to be his epic Gatti trilogy, while Augustus went on to become one of the most dangerous, upset-minded opponents in boxing. Ward, Augustus and the third man in the ring that night, Hall of Fame referee Steve Smoger, will host as USA Alumni Association event Tuesday, See. 20 at The Shaskeen Pub & Restaurant (909 Elm St. in Manchester), begin by 6 namiddag. EN.
The trio will also be joined by two others closely associated with the 2001 Stryd van die Jaar, Chairman of the New Hampshire Boxing and Wrestling Commission, Bobby Stephen, as well as International matchmaker, Eric Bottjer, who made the Ward-Augustus fight in 2001.
All five will also attend the USA Boxing Alumni Association event as well as the following night’s (See. 21) USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour finale at the Manchester Downtown Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire.
SPECIAL MANCHESTER AMATEUR BOXING MATCH ADDED
A special lightweight novice WILL open the competition, showcasing two Manchester amateur boxers, Abhisek Thapa (Titel Boksklub) en Michael Correa (Manchester PAL).
Presented by Corona Premium, the Manchester event will start at 7 namiddag. EST, and it also serves as a fundraiser for another partner of the show, the Manchester PAL Boxing Club.
Kaartjies is redelik geprys teen $20.00 vir algemene toelating, $30 for reserved ringside seats, and available to purchase on Seacoast Ticket Agency’s website, www.seacoastticket.com, the official ticket distributor for the event.
“We’re so happy to have the USA-Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour here in Manchester,” Stephen added. “The talent on both squads is extraordinary. We’re honored to have these two teams here for this big event. It’s a credit to USA Boxing and (special events director) Al Valenti, who has done so much over the years for boxing in New Hampshire. Boxing was very popular here many years ago. People turned out in droves to attend the Golden Gloves. There’s a boxing resurgence and that’s so important to teach young people discipline, respect and conditioning that’s so needed today. These amateurs do their best for the love of boxing; they aren’t in it for money like professionals.
“Micky is honorable, a real nice person. It means a lot for local fans and boxers to meet him. We were fortunate to have him fight in New Hampshire on serval occasions and nobody who watched his fight Augustus or his trilogy with Arturo Gatti will never forget.”.
