INTERNATIONAL BOXING HALL OF FAME INDUCTION WEEKEND TO SHOWCASE GOLDEN LINEAGES OF BOXING: The biggest weekend in boxing is bringing all of the boxing legends out to Turning Stone Resort Casino on June 7th for the 30th anniversary of the International Boxing Hall of Fame induction weekend. Outside of the ring will consist of almost a week long of phenomenal events with some of boxing’s biggest stars. However, inside the ring, legacy’s will grow, some attempting to fill the footsteps of their famous fathers. When JAMES “BUDDY” MCGIRT JR. (27-3-1 14KO’s) laces up his gloves on June 7th, an extra presence will be in the air. In the co-feature,McGirt Jr. will be facing undefeated Frenchman DAVID PAPOT (22-0 3KO’s), for the WBA Intercontinental & WBO International Middleweight Titles. In a sport that is the king of drama and storylines, it is fitting that McGirt Jr. is the son of “BUDDY” MCGIRT (73-6-1 48KO’s), storied multi-weight world champion and the first ever World Champ hailing from Long Island, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame after watching his son attempt to honor that induction. Hailing from Brentwood, Long Island, McGirt Sr. made his pro- debut in 1982, working his way to a 38-1-1 record, before squaring off with Frankie Warren in 1988, at the Memorial Coliseum, in Corpus Christi, Texas, where Buddy won the IBF World Super Lightweight Title by TKO. Three years later, in 1991 McGirt challenged multi-time world champion Simon Brown, defeating him by unanimous decision for the WBC World Welterweight Title, his second world title. On June 7th, James McGirt Jr. will be fighting in front of his father, as McGirt Sr. will be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame on the same weekend. McGirt has had success at the Middleweight division and hopes to add both vacant belts to his trophy case, on a path to become the second world champion bearing the name James “Buddy” McGirt. The highly anticipated main event showcases 6-time world champion, ZAB “SUPER” JUDAH (Brooklyn, NY 44-9 30KO’s) against New York knockout artist, CLETUS “THE HEBREW HAMMER” SELDIN (23-1 19KO’s) for the NABA Super Lightweight Title. Judah, the last undisputed welterweight king, looks to add to his hall of fame worthy legacy, in search for another title shot at the super lightweight division. Seldin has hall of fame power in both hands. A win against a world class fighter like Judah will put Seldin right in the thick of the title chase of the super lightweight division. Both fighters know that the winner is likely to get a shot at the World Championship..

He won his first fourteen bouts and went on to beat former world champions Simon Brown and Glen Johnson. Sheika challenged Joe Calzaghe, Eric Lucas; Jeff Lacy and Markus Beyer for world Super Middleweight supremacy but each time came up just a little bit short.

More importantly, the Hall is the institution of record for rewarding meritorious service in the sweet science – the honor-bestower to which inductees keep returning in Canastota, New York every June. It ain’t perfect, but it’s still the place to be. Because fighters’ careers are fluid, shifts can be sudden and settled law is open to smudging at a later date, there are few foregone conclusions among active IBHOF candidates-in-waiting. The list: Manny Pacquiao, Roman Gonzalez, Nonito Donaire, Terence Crawford, Vasiliy Lomachenko and Canelo Alvarez. That’s it. But what of the rest? Which other current fighters have a shot? And what about those in for a rude awakening, boxing’s faux royalty? In the wake of the 2019 Hall of Fame Weekend, we sort out the most interesting cases in the pages ahead – the shoo-ins, the fence-sitters and the emperors with no clothes.

It Could Be Just Another Boxing Gym, Dingy and Functional As Such Places Usually Are – No Windows, Concrete Floors Painted Dreadnought Gray
It could be just another boxing gym, dingy and functional as such places usually are – no windows, concrete floors painted dreadnought gray. The weight benches and iron plates have dents and duct tape swathes the misshapen heavy bags. The voices tell you that you’re somewhere in the city: drawling Caribbean English and lightning Spanish, the gruff tones of the white working-class, even a glottal growl from somewhere in the broken Soviet Union. The sultry day makes the gym a sweatbox but nobody complains although they’re all wearing heavy cotton trousers – all the same institutional shade of olive-green. Everyone is quiet; all faces are turned to the ring. In one corner Kevin Rooney – one-time trainer of Mike Tyson – preps his fighter, a tall, pale welterweight with chiseled arms. The fighter, Jay Crumb (12 wins, 3 losses as an amateur), has the distracted look of a man anticipating contact. Crumb nods at Rooney’s instructions but you can tell he’s barely listening. Across the ring Dell, Tizz and Ruler gird their fighter, Frost (2nd degree murder, 25-to-life), a chocolate-dark, thickly muscled man. Frost looks younger than his 38 years but none of Dell’s fighters look their age. The bell rings and the boxers move forward to touch gloves. Then the first concussive thuds, the hooting and shouts as the crowd presses around the ring Green Haven Correctional Facility, maximum security, hulks amidst the forest and fields of southeastern Duchess County, eighty miles from New York City. Round a bend on Route 24 and it’s over you, the Death Star, weathered concrete walls thirty feet high, running for over a mile and sunk fifteen feet below the soil to discourage great escapes.
