קאָלאָראַדאָ ספּרינגס, שויס. (סעפּטעמבער 6, 2018) – Living legend רוי דזשאָנעס, דזשוניער., 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, דעצעמבער 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 ז. Temple St.) in Salk Lake City, Utah.
אין דערצו צו דזשאָנעס, די קלאַס פון 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (פאַכמאַן) champions, אַנדרע קעסטקינד און Claressa Shields, as well as former USA Boxing National Director of Coaching ימאַניואַל סטעוואַרד and veteran USA Boxing official Tom Cleary. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.
The charter class inducted last year included מוכאַמאַד עלי און עוואַנדער האָליפיעלד, as well as veteran coaches Roosevelt Sanders און 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.”
דזשאָנעס, יראָניקאַללי, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (דזשאָו) פראַזיערand 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 רעקאָרד, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.
אין די 1988 Olympics in Seoul, דרום קארעע, 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 צו 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, פלאָרידאַ, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall אין די רגע קייַלעכיק. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 קאָס) pro record, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.
אין 2003, Jones defeated יוחנן רויז 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, אַטהלעטיסיסם, movement and reflexes, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 פּראָ פיגהץ, 22-3 (14) אין וועלט טיטל פיגהץ. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 קאָס) and included among his victims were greats such as בערנאַרד האָפּקינס, יעקב טאָוני, מייק מקקאַללום,וויני פּאַזיענזאַ, ווירגיל הילל, <אַ href="http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&hl=tr&prev=search&rurl=translate.google.com.tr&sl=iw&u=http://fightnewsunlimited.com/tag/antonio-tarver/?lang=yi&usg=ALkJrhg-AtsoRCLMxQxZjnrQ4mI7KHXzqw" רעל = "קוויטל"> אַנטאָניאָ טאַרווער און פעליקס טרינידאַד.
הייַנט, 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 the “Future Stars of Boxing Tournament” אין לאַס וועגאַס, 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.”

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.”

Quotes of Note from other World Champions
גeorge Foreman: “(דזשאָנעס) hits like a heavyweight and moved like a lightweight.”
מאָנטעלל גריפפין: “פלויד (מייַוועאַטהער, קינג) was no comparison as far as speed. Roy was much faster.”
מייק מקקאַללום: “(Jones is) the greatest fighter of all time.”
If he ever hangs-up his gloves for good, רוי דזשאָנעס, דזשוניער. will be a first ballot inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. There may never be another boxer quite like RJJ.

WEST JORDAN, Utah (דעצעמבער 18, 2017) – United States Boxing Association (USBA) featherweight champion דזשאָסע “Pepito” Haro (14-1-1, 8 קאָס) is suffering from unfair blowback for the accidental role he played this past summer, in which his opponent, דניאל פראַנקאָ, nearly died from injuries resulting from their nationally televised fight in Idaho.
די 3-2 underdog Haro, fighting out of West Jordan, Utah, dropped Franco with a chopping right in the eighth round, soon followed by a crisp combination of devastating punches, which resulted in a knockout victory and the USBA title for Haro.
סאַדלי, פראַנקאָ (16-2-3, 11 קאָס) was sent to Mercy Medical Hospital, where he underwent two brain surgeries to relieve pressure caused by brain bleeds. He came out of a medically induced coma and, fortunately, Franco continues to recover at home in California from what his father/trainer, Al Franco, has described as a miracle.
“I can’t forget it,” Haro said about his last fight. “It’s been traumatic. I’m very happy Franco is recovering but, every time something comes up about him on social media, a lot of people tag me. I don’t answer, I just need to deal with it. My victory was taken away, I couldn’t enjoy it. I fought a clean fight, but some people blame me for what happened.”
Haro hasn’t fought since that fateful night in Iowa last June. Whitfield Haydon, who serves as Haro’s agent, is a veteran Southern California matchmaker, טאָמער, best known for discovering under-the-radar boxing talent such as Haro. It appeared that Haro was finally going to catch a big break in late October, when Haydon was contacted about a non-mandatory title fight for Haro with International World Boxing (יבף) Featherweight World Champion “בליץ” לי סעלבי (26-1, 9 קאָס). The Selby vs. Haro world title fight contract was reportedly being drawn up and Team Haro had agreed to promotional options in the event of him winning. Suddenly, כאָטש, communications with Team Selby went dark. Team Haro later learned that Selby had gone in another direction, Eduardo Ramirez, who Selby defeated by way of a 12-round unanimous decision December 9 אין לאָנדאָן.
“We were going to London for short money because the world title shot was worth it,” Haydon explained. “Haro would have been one helluva live dog in that fight. I must not have been the only one thinking that way. I’ve been hearing that, within the boxing industry, Haro has become a hot potato after his Franco fight. How ridiculous is this? Last time I checked, Haro’s a featherweight who’s also capable of fighting at junior lightweight or super lightweight. My phone has been silent, כאָטש, other than for a late notice fight or a fight at lightweight. Boxing sometimes eats its own. This is a joke.”
Haro, who was a member of the USA Junior Olympic Boxing Team during his amateur days, isn’t 100-percent sure why he’s not being offered good fights, but he does blame most of it on boxing politics.
“After the Franco fight,” Haro remarked, “I feel like I’ve been benched. I think I’m not getting good fights is because I’m a high risk, no reward fighter. I’m depressed right now about it. I love boxing but, איך בין 30 with a wife and five kids. Boxing politics is the reason!”
Boxing is the most unforgiving sport, boxers risk their lives every time they walk up the three steps into the ring. The aftereffects of a boxing tragedy like this is traumatic for all parties involved. Nobody knows that better than the 30-year-old Haro.
ראַנגקט נומ. 15 אין דער וועלט דורך דער יבף, Haro works fulltime for Pepsi, putting product on shelves at supermarkets in Utah. The father of three girls and two boys, the hard-working Mexican-American starts at 3 אַ.ם. and works until 12 מיטאָגצייַט, then goes home to watch his children because his wife, Yesenia, also needs to work to make ends meet.
Haro has overcome so many obstacles during his career that some refer to him as, “Hard Luck Haro.” In addition to repercussions from the Franco fight, back in 2015, he was shot in both feet (see accompanying picture) in a parking lot after shopping by a stranger for no apparent reason. Haro noted, “I was tainted by that because only bad guys get shot, רעכט?”
Losing the opportunity to fight in his world title fight against Selby was another example of what Haro’s been facing the past six months. “I’m not much of a talker,” ער אַדמיטאַד, “but I won’t be used for leverage. I won’t’ be used as piece of meat. I’m not taking a fight just for the money, I’m going in the ring to give it my all to win for me, my family and team.
“I’m riding this out (boxing career) for my wife and children. I’m teaching my kids to never give up and to continue working hard no matter what life may throw you. It’s been rough. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I have to continue working until, hopefully, I get a big payday.”
For Haro and Haydon, they’re both due for a big break in 2018.
