A Lady, My Friend – Eva Futch

David Martinez, Eddie Futch, FLASHBACK

FLASHBACK *** This article was originally published on www.dmboxing.com on October 18, 2007

In all my years following boxing, since 1961, there have been lots of people that have given me gifts for my collection, and believe it or not, after 46 years, I can honestly tell you exactly
who gave me what and when 다운로드!

This is a short story about just one of those boxing gifts that I recently received from a lady, my friend, Eva Futch, the widow of the late Eddie Futch 다운로드.

Most of the boxing world certainly knows who Eddie Futch was – he was without a doubt one of the all time top trainers and corner men in boxing… ever  다운로드.

He worked with boxers such as: Don Jordan, Hedgemon Lewis, Bob Foster, Joe Frazier, Virgil Hill, Ken Norton, Alexis
Arguello, Larry Holmes, Michael Spinks, Trevor Berbick, and Riddick Bowe – just to name a few  다운로드.

In my opinion, Eddie was best remembered for two things in his outstanding career in boxing, which were: on March 8, 1971, in what we in boxing know as the “Fight of the Century”, he guided Joe Frazier to a 15 round unanimous decision over previously unbeaten
Muhammad Ali; and in 1975 for his decision to stop the Ali vs pc용 카톡. Frazier fight, “The Thrilla in Manila”.

Joe Frazier could not see the punches Ali was throwing because of his swollen eyes after 14 brutal rounds.

In Rusty’s Corner – In Memory

David Martinez, FLASHBACK, Glove2Glove, R.I.P., Rusty Rubin

FLASHBACK – In memory of Rusty Rubin, one of my dearest friends, and that actually was my first boxing writer contributor to www.dmboxing.com back in July 2007 다운로드. Upon meeting Rusty in 1997 we stayed in contact through the years and I was so honored to have written several articles and fight results for his RingSports Magazine 다운로드. Here’s sharing his last article piece that was published on October 6, 2014 … Rusty passed away on November 11, 2014, at the age of 72, peacefully at his home in Reno, Nevada 프리미어 프로 무료 다운로드. He is truly missed by many and may his soul continue to rest in heaven with the Lord!

The fight is a challenging one to predict 갱스터 리오 버그 판. The one thing we can say with reasonable certainty is that it will be held at Madison Square Garden in New York City on October 18.

This is a fight between the strong European power puncher Genedy Golovkin and veteran Marco Antonio Rubio .

Rubio, 34, has a two year advantage on Golovkin, stands a half inch shorter and shares the same reach. No real advantage for either one.

The hard-punching Golovkin is 30-0, with 27 coming by way of knockouts. Rubio has more experience with a 59-6-1 mark and 51 knockouts, certainly no slouch.

This fight is for WBA super middleweight title, the IBO middleweight championship and the interim WBC middleweight title.

So how do you predict a fight like this ? Rubio has fought better foes, but he is growing a bit long in the tooth and all those fights probably has taken a bit out of him.

All the stats are pretty much the same, and I don’t like predicting draws. Will Golovkin’s power make the difference, or will Rubio’s experience save the day?

I’ve got to go somewhere here, so I’ll just predict that youth must be served. Golovkin by knockout.***

On a further newsworthy issue, my good friend and head of the BWAA for twenty years is stepping down after doing yeoman’s work for the eight extra rounds . He goes out a winner. Well done, Jack.

On Saturday, October 19, 2013, I attended the California Boxing Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Sportsmen’s Lodge in Studio City, California  커런시캅 다운로드. It was a spectacular event hosted by President Don Fraser and his staff.

I was honored and humbled to be there to represent my good friend Harold Lederman for his induction  다운로드. Harold could not attend because of his commitment with HBO World Championship Boxing to cover the Mike Alvarado vs. Ruslan Provodnikov WBO junior welterweight fight card in Denver, Colorado on that same date  드론전쟁 굿킬 다운로드. It was special to me because it was Harold himself who requested I be there for him, to speak along with his long time friend Larona Ganaway.

I don’t think anybody in the house could say that they don’t know who Harold is, as Harold is certainly one of the best judges in our era of boxing  마인크래프트 1.5.2 자바. He knows the sport as well as anybody; he is fair, honest, and non-biased with his positive expertise on the air with HBO.

Veterans Park District’s Leyden Boxing Gym in suburban Chicago was the scene of some hot and heavy action last week as a couple of undefeated fighters from the West Coast got in some work with a spirited sparring session 드림위버 cc 2017 다운로드.

Roger Romo from Oxnard, California brought his professional record of 5-0-3, and a wealth of experience, into the gym to work with Tacoma, Washington’s Mike Gavronski, who sports a professional record of 13-0-1 다운로드. In addition to having worked with the likes of Sergio Martinez and Kelly Pavlik, Romo has grown up in boxing as the younger brother of two time world champion Fernando Vargas wii 정발 게임.

Gavronski will be in action April 14, in Chicago, on a show televised by Fox Sports Monday Night Boxing.

Boxing has certainly had its share of odd events 중학교 기출문제 다운로드. In no particular order of preference here are ten that have always stood out to me.

1 – November 6, 1993 / Las Vegas, Nevada … Holyfield vs 다운로드. Bowe II, a fan James Miller lands by parachute into the ring during round 7 causing a 21 minute delay in their heavyweight championship fight.

2 – December 4, 1912 / Paris, France … Georges Bernard fell asleep at the end of the sixth round during his middleweight title fight with Billy Papke 다운로드.

3 – September 13, 1975 / Caracas, Venezuela Luis Etaba defeated Rafael Lovera by 4th round knockout to win WBC junior flyweight title, only to learn afterwards Lovera had never fought a professional fight before and only fought that one fight in his career 터치바이터치 mp3 다운로드.

4 – December 13,  1887 … “Nonpareil” Jack Dempsey retained his middleweight title by knockout in the 45th round over John Reagan 보이스3 6화. The bout took place in two rings. It Started in Huntington, Long Island and after the ring was flooded by nearby river, in the 8th round, both fighters boarded a tug boat and continued their bout 20 miles away in another ring.

5 – January 15, 1977 /  Las Vegas, Nevada … Howard Smith wins a 10 round decision over Henry Clark. In round one, the original referee (Ferd Hernandez) suffered a epileptic seizure causing a fifteen minute delay before new referee (Richard Greene) was brought and the fight resumed. On a side note, prior to becoming a referee, Fred Hernandez boxed professionally and once scored a 10 round split decision win over an aging 44 year old Sugar Ray Robinson in 1965.

And quite frankly… it couldn’t happen to a nicer person! She’s bright, articulate, she hasn’t forgotten her roots and she’s a role model.  

Now here is the tie into boxing… if her name sounds familiar it is because her father is Chicago referee “Geno” Rodriguez 쇼미더머니4 노래 다운로드. Boxing fans have seen Geno in the ring refereeing some of the game’s top fighters. Most recently he was in China refereeing the Manny Pacquiao – Chris Algieri bout 드래곤 길들이기2 다운로드.

With the recent passing of top rated heavyweight Earnie Shavers on September 1, 2022, the day after his 78th birthday, I am sharing an article that my good friend Jim Amato (R.I.P.) wrote on Shavers which was published on February 11, 2009 on www.dmboxing.com 다운로드. Also included are a few personal photos of Shavers, and my autographed Sports Illustrated magazine covers; the S.I. articles regard his legendary championship fights with Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes … may Mr 윈도우10 msdn 다운로드. Earnie Shavers rest peacefully in heaven with the Lord!

*** FLASHBACK *** By Jim Amato / Senior Boxing Writer

It was to be the last time the incomparable Muhammad Ali would ever successfully defend the heavyweight championship 맥북 엑셀 2010. It would be held in boxing’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. It would also feature Ohio’s most popular heavyweight of the last quarter century, Earnie Shavers 클래시로얄 무료 다운로드.

The “Acorn” as Ali had dubbed Shavers would be a prohibitive underdog. He was accorded a puncher’s chance at best against the aging but still crafty king of the heavyweights 채널 j 다운로드. What transpired the night of September 29, 1977 established Earnie as a legitimate contender and forecast the soon to be demise of “The Greatest”.

With the 2012 Olympic Games now behind us, let me congratulate our country’s first gold medal winner Claressa Shields, and also bronze medal winner Marlen Esparza 다운로드. Their performances were nothing less than outstanding.

As I watched, in what little there was for my standards, the boxing competition, I was displeased with the judging and the officiating.  Olympic scoring is a computerized count of punches thrown, which is confusing because if you land a couple of more jabs than your opponent but are rocked yourself by a few more damaging punches you win the round 다운로드. So is this fencing with gloves?
