Traditional Philly Traditional Philly Teon Kennedy is your classic Philly fighter. He has a history of facing tough opponents and beating them. Just like the Philadelphia greats, Bennie Briscoe, Eugene Cyclone Hart, Stanley Kitten Hayward, Joey Giardello, George Benton and many more. Kennedy (17-0-1, 7 K0s) has defeated Thomas Snow, Andre Wilson, Jose Angel Berranza and Jorge Diaz. Heis managed by Doc Nowicki, Jim Williams and Joe Hand. He is trained by former junior welterweight Smokin’ Wade Hinnant and his brother Randy Hinnant. Kennedy has been boxing since he was six years old. It has become his life, not just a part of it. He is 25 years old and he has been through a lot, both inside and outside the ring. It is common for fighters who go through experiences Kennedy has to never be the same again. Kennedy won the vacant USBA super bantamweight title over Chicago’s Francisco Rodriguez on Nov. 20, 2009, at the Legendary Blue Horizon. The bout was everything fans expected it to be--until the end. Rodriguez, who had beaten Kennedy (right) in the amateurs, showed that he had heart like fighters of the past. Kennedy, though, was too much for him. Everyone involved in the Philly fight scene knows what happened. Tragedy struck that night and Rodriguez was rushed to Hahnemann hospital after the bout. Two days later, he died. An event like that would affect any fighter, young or old. Yet it did not change Kennedy’s heart. He understood that death was, and is, a risk in every fight. Being the classic Philly fighter and following in the footsteps of the city’s finest, he was not going to let the death of Rodriguez stop him from fulfilling his goals. The Rodriquez death was the first in Philadelphia boxing since March 21, 1978. Middleweight Curtis Parker stopped Jody White in the fourth round of his (Parker’s) fourth fight, and White then died on his way from the Blue Horizon to the hospital that night. Parker (left) is example enough that no matter what happens, a fighter has to stick to goals. The risk of death is no higher after experiencing it than it was before. By not letting White’s death affect his career, Parker went on to win the USBA title (as did Kennedy) and became a regular on network TV in the early 1980s. A fighter who takes the risk, understands the risk, has experienced the risk and continues to take the risk, is a fighter with a lot of heart. Kennedy enters the ring each time with that mind-set and his fighting style shows it. He takes the risk again when he faces Mexican native Alejandro Lopez(21-2, 7K0s) on Saturday, Aug. 13, at Bally’s Atlantic City. Kennedy is a classic stick-and-move fighter. He has the skills to box and will use them if necessary, but he likes to get inside, land his combinations and get out. He resembles Philadelphia’s former bantamweight champion Joltin Jeff Chandler (33-2-2, 18K0s), both in skills and in heart. Chandler (right), a legitimate Hall-of-Famer, fought anyone and everyone. Kennedy is looking to do the same. IN OTHER BOXING NEWS: Philadelphia lightweight Victor Vasquez and light- heavyweight Anthony Ferrante have signed promotional contracts with Joey Eye Boxing. Both fighters, along with lightweights Angel Ocasio, Joey Tiberi and heavyweight Joey Dawejko will all be on the Aug. 13 card at Harrah’s Casino Chester.

    PELTZ HOPES JULY 30 ENNIS- ROSADO MATCH WILL PAVE THE WAY FOR A RETURN TO THE GLORY DAYS OF PHILADELPHIA BOXING–WATCH FIGHT LIVE ON GOFIGHTLIVE.TV Click for full event info Philadelphia, PA–When Derek “Pooh” Ennis defends his USBA junior middleweight title against fellow-Philadelphian ‘King’ Gabriel Rosado on Friday evening, July 30, at the Arena in South Philadelphia, it will bring back memories of some of the local showdowns that once made Philadelphia one of the boxing capitals of the United States. The list of outstanding fights reads like a page out of Who’s Who in Philadelphia boxing history: Al Ettore vs. Gus Dorazio, Bob Montgomery vs. Wesley Mouzon, Charley Scott vs. Sugar Hart, George Benton vs. Joey Giardello, Gypsy Joe Harris vs. Kitten Hayward, Bennie Briscoe vs. Cyclone Hart…. You could go on and on. “The formula for success in Philadelphia always has been to match two local fighters against each other,” says Nigel Collins, editor of The Ring magazine. “There is nothing like it anywhere else.” Hall-of-Fame promoter J Russell Peltz, who is staging the Ennis-Rosado fight, agrees. “In 1961, when I was 14 years old, my dad took me to the old Arena at 46th & Market Street to see Harold Johnson defend his light-heavyweight title against Von Clay,” Peltz said. “Johnson was from Manayunk and Von Clay was from West Philadelphia. It was an unusually hot night in late April and the Arena was not air-conditioned and you couldn’t move in there it was so packed. It was sweltering.

The three-day celebration News Briefs culminated in a Grand Procession in which the by Sal Giarratani image of the Madonna was carried through the streets, accompanied by society members and marching bands. Thousands Hit Streets Protesting (Photos by Matt Conti Vaccine Passports/Lockdowns MattConti.com) Citizens have taken to the streets in several coun- tries, among them France, Italy, the UK and even Australia to protest vaccine passports and extended lockdowns on the weekend of July 25th. These anti- government protests were strongly denounced by national leaders and police officials. On July 24th, some 160,000 attended public protests in France against president Emmanuel Macron’s vaccine passport requirement, in which those who choose not to accept a COVID vaccine would be excluded from nearly all aspects of public life such as entering restaurants, bars, theatres, public transit, etc. The mandate could also see business owners go to jail for not enforcing the new rules. On July 25th, Macron criticized protesters saying, “This is not free- dom, it is called irresponsibility, egoism,” according to a Google translation of a French report. London also saw massive protests over the same weekend as Boris Johnson announced a similar vaccine passport in the nation. Coverage of the protests showed people holding signs with slogans “Show your papers, comrades,” a reminder to many of the old Soviet Union’s “internal passports.” Democrats Hide Party’s Racist Roots Democrat leaders claim “the GOP wants to white- wash American history” by barring critical race theory from schools, but they refuse to acknowledge their party “did more than any other institution in American life to preserve” slavery and “enforce Jim Crow,” observes RealClearInvestigations’ Mark Hemmingway.

This book is dedicated to him and his trainer, Wilson Pitts. It is a compilation of all that I have learned throughout my eighteen years of boxing training combined along with techniques from both men. Wilson not only taught and trained Peter Hobbie, but also the boxing pride of Richmond, Virginia, Carl “Piggy” Hutchins. Wilson lived in Philadelphia and studied boxing at Joe Frazier’s gym in the 1970s. It was there that he learned and embraced the techniques of the legendary trainer Eddie Futch. By watching and eventually being accepted as a student of the sweet science by trainers such as George Benton, he was able to learn boxing tactics and knowledge that are unfortunately becoming harder to find as time passes.

Now Frazier and Yank Durham, his trainer-manager are trying desperately to get a return fight with George Foreman, who stopped Joe in two rounds at Kingston, Jamaica, on January 22. A Foreman-Frazier fight is one of the very few major attractions open for competition among the leading pro­ moters, all of whom are based in the United States. Efforts are being made in England to pull Joe Bugmer and Danny McAlinden into the Big Fight ranks but the impression exists in well informed circles that neither qualifies. Putting together the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle, which were scattered to the winds by the Foreman victory over Frazier and the Ken Norton defeat of Ali, is a task which has eligible promoters stymied. Heavyweight champion George Foreman gets warm welcome from students at E. 0.

When he was still a baby the family moved to Flatbush, a slightly upmarket district which he recalled as being “A nice neighborhood, we had a nice home”. In those days Brooklyn was not the ghetto which later produced world champions Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, and Mark Breland. Nevertheless growing up in New York in the 1930’s and 40’s brought its own difficulties and the young Giardello ran with street gangs and got involved in fights. He was always independent and, like so many of the war generation, grew up before his time. By the second half of 1945, World War II was officially over, but there was still plenty of mopping up to be done.
