Reset strategy! Recalibrate approaches for athletes for whom 2018 was unsatisfactory or merely average. Reset for coaches whose charges did not achieve their aspirations! Merely repeating the same training, nutritional habits and strategy will not yield improvement. Let 2019 be a time for vision and action! Vision without action is day dreaming.

I will say that I am really happy that this is on HBO so that all of my fans from across the country can see me continue this unprecedented path.

  • Dawson Confident the Best Is Yet to Come
    Dawson confident the best is yet to come PROVIDENCE, R.I. (June 17th, 2019) — There are many reasons why some professional fighters hang on longer than most people think they should. Some need the money. Others miss the limelight. Chad Dawson is simply motivated by the thrill of victory and an opportunity to reclaim his throne atop the light heavyweight division. “If I didn’t think I had anything left, I wouldn’t be doing it right now,” said the former two-time world champion, who returns to the ring Saturday, June 29th, 2019 at Foxwoods Resort Casino after two and a half years away from the sport. “I want to get back in the spotlight, back into contention and back into the ring with the guys who are at the top now.” Dawson (34-5, 19 KOs), who turns 37 in July, faces North Carolina vet Quinton Rankin (15-5-2, 12 KOs) in the eight- round main event of CES Boxing’s pro-am spectacular at the historic Fox Theater. The event streams live on Facebook via FIGHTNIGHT LIVE and also includes a 10-round featherweight co- feature bout between fellow New Haven boxer Tramaine Williams(17-0, 6 KOs) and Filipino Neil John Tabanao (17-5, 11 KOs). Limited tickets are available at $47, $77 and $157 (VIP) and can be purchased online at www.cesboxing.com or www.foxwoods.com, by phone at 401-724-2253 or 800-200-2882 or at the Fox Theater Box Office. All fights and fighters subject to change. Dawson is not the first — and he certainly won’t be the last — fighter to return to the sport following a long layoff or retirement.

  • 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.
