  • International Boxing Research Organization, Had Perhaps Its Stron- Gest Showing Ever at Canastota
    boxing by don cogswell This year’s trip to Canas- tota, my third, for the Hall of Fame inductions weekend, continued to add texture and depth in experiencing one of boxing’s principal convergences. The dazzle of being immersed in so many of boxing’s notables does fade but the rewards of repeated visits with friends and associates deepen to center stage. Doing a little business also helps. The Random House Dictionary, unabridged, second edition, defines appetizer as “any small portion that stimulates a desire for more or that indicates more is to follow.” An opportunity to meet fifties contender Rocky Jones, courtesy of former Chester heavyweight Jack Mer- cadante and Philly historian Chuck Hasson, was up to scratch in meeting that definition. (I had flown into Philadelphia from the West Coast, planning on driving north with these two notables, to Canastota.) Rocky lives in a primarily African American neighborhood that was once predominately Italian American. The house Jack Mercadante grew up in is a stone’s throw from Rocky’s. Throughout our hour visit on his stoop, passerby’s continuously asked Rocky if everything was all right. I felt privileged with his repeated mantra that everything was just fine. (Jones lives a short drive from Leiperville, where we passed, in homage, the site of Baron Dougherty’s Colonial Hotel.) Among the many comments of Rock’s experiences, both in the ring and the gyms, the two bouts with Roland LaStarza loomed large. Rocky, essentially a lightheavy, fought heavyweights throughout his career. LaStarza was in line for a title shot, and a big favorite when he fought Jones, but was upset over 10.

Truth is that I met an amazing woman and threw myself headlong into an incredible relationship and have just not been able to squeeze out enough time to complete the newsletter to my satisfaction. LOL! I will tell you more about that in the October 2011 newsletter. As of September 1, 2011 we are into our 16 th season at Iron Dragon Kung Fu and Kickboxing Club! The beginning of a new season is always a tremendous milestone for me. For me it represents a personal triumph. I would once again like to honor all those who doubted me or ridiculed my vision with the traditional Italian salute…..slams left palm into right bicep while executing a right uppercut! LOL! A salute to those who doubted the “Iron Dragon” The seeds of Iron Dragon Kung Fu and Kickboxing Club were planted way back in 1994 while I was weight training in my basement. I was working ridiculous August/September 2011, Volume 3, Issue 8/9 2 overtime at my accounting job and was looking for a way out when….Eureka! I realized that when I was not working, I was either training at Twin Dragon or Lifting weights in my basement.

  • By Don Stradley
    PRESENTS CANCELED!By Don Stradley t’s about time to comment on the cancelation of the Gennady Golvkin - Saul Alvarez rematch, a bout that fell through when Alvarez, having failed two tests for the banned substance clenbuterol, decided to make different plans for Cinco De Mayo. Regrettably for Alvarez, he can pass hair follicle tests until he looks like Bennie Briscoe, but the company line that his initial results came from eat- I ing tainted Mexican beef will probably be questioned for the rest of his career. (left to right) Gerry Cooney’s frequent cancelations created a wall of cynism between him and the press. Vinnie Curto preferred the company of celebri- ties like Don Johnson over fighting Marvelous Marvin Hagler., he suspiciously walked away from his 1977 bout with Hagler. Thomas Heans vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was supposed to take place in 1982, until Hearns canceled it with a “sprained his pinky.” A suspicious cancelation has a way of altering our perception of a fighter. It’s not on par with quitting in a fight, but it carries its own unique stench that can take years to air out. Generally, it’s a poor public relations move. eavyweight contender Gerry Cooney turned cident didn’t hurt Hearns’ career, but he spent a few years cancelations into an annual event. If it wasn’t hearing murmurs about how he had been afraid of Hagler, a shoulder or a knuckle that needed mend- murmurs that didn’t stop until the two finally fought.

  • Superiority Complex: Life's a Country Club at Queens North Shore Towers
    AS SEEN IN THE: Superiority Complex: Life's a country club at Queens North Shore Towers By Jason Sheftell Friday, August 19th 2011 You can’t miss them. Three towers climbing out of the grassy border of Floral Park, Queens, near the Grand Central Parkway. But outside anyone who lives there or knows someone who does, rarely does anyone see it. That’s their loss, because North Shore Towers and Country Club is a world unto itself. It has an arcade of shops, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, 460-seat movie theater, two restaurants, an 18-hole golf course, five Har-Tru illuminated tennis courts and 1,844 apartments. Jeanne Noonan for News Studios can be bought for $175,000 and up, with one-bedroom/one-baths starting at $199,000. The big two-bedrooms in perfect condition with views of the Manhattan skyline and Queens countryside (yes, it’s a countryside) can go for up to $800,000, although they can start in the mid-$500,000 range. “This is like living in a resort, but it’s totally self- sufficient,” says Glen Kotowski, general manager of the complex and former NYPD precinct commander at the nearby 105th. “We have our own power generator, a staff of 250, and we’re literally active 24 hours per day. It’s not unlike running a precinct, except we’re not dealing with life-threatening issues. Crime is virtually nonexistent here.” Entering the gated driveway to North Shore Towers starts a series of real estate surprises. From left, co-op president Bob Ricken, real estate agent Linda Rappaport and G.M.
