Hsu Michele B. Reid For Blood or for Glory: A History of Cuban Boxing, 1898-1962 by Anju Nandlal Reejhsinghani Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2009 To Billy Geoghegan, my cornerman Acknowledgments This project had its origins in January 2001, when – during a two-week trip to Havana and Matanzas as part of a U.S.-Cuba writers’ conference – I was in training for a series of amateur boxing tournaments back home. Without access to a boxing gym and unwilling to subject myself to catcalls by running in the street, I chose to train by the hotel pools, where – as my fellow writers worked on their tans or cavorted in the water – I assiduously jumped rope, did sit-ups and push-ups, and shadowboxed. My regimen, all the more unusual for its having been carried out by a woman, came to the attention of a Havana sports journalist, Martín Hacthoun, and led to his invitation to profile me for some of the national newspapers. Wary of being used for propaganda of whatever sort, I nonetheless was too curious not to accept.

  • Some Misconceptions of Punching Power
    Punching Power - Some Misconceptions and Conceptions By Michael Hunnicutt Great punchers are born, and in some cases made. No matter how proficient the balance, leverage, follow-through a boxer may or may not have; unless born with the rare ability to hit hard with terrific force, that said boxer will never be able to hit with extraordinary force. Conversely, no boxer ever walked into a gym and was ever to hit as hard as any man of his weight in the world unless certain abilities are very well honed. The boxer may be a “real” banger” but will never develop into a puncher of frightening power. There are two gauges that some may use to help determine a boxer’s power that does need greater exploration. Both a boxer’s knockout percentage (KO %), as well as his weight have been held as fairly accurate indicators of all boxer’s punching power. It is the object of this article to try to put both KO % and weight in a more objective and balanced frame of reference, as well as to investigate further into various factors in regards to great punching power. Knockout Percentage In approximately the last 26 years, circa 1980 - present, 41 of the top 100 boxers since 1890 have had the highest knockout percentages. From this single statistic one may conclude that many of the hardest hitters since the gloved era have been developed during this time frame. This may or may not be a reasonable indicator. Since there have been few, if any, instances when a boxer’s punch has been compared with another boxer’s punch from other eras judging a fighter’s punching power strictly on percentage can be very misleading.

  • Yankee Stadium to Host “Stadium Slugfest” on Saturday, June 5; Championship Boxing Match Between Yuri Foreman and Miguel Cotto
    APRIL 9, 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE YANKEE STADIUM TO HOST “STADIUM SLUGFEST” ON SATURDAY, JUNE 5; CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING MATCH BETWEEN YURI FOREMAN AND MIGUEL COTTO Yankee Stadium will host the “Stadium Slugfest”—a world title boxing match between World Boxing Association (WBA) super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman and three-time world champion Miguel Cotto—on Saturday, June 5, 2010, it was announced today in a press conference at Yankee Stadium. The announcement featured both fighters and their camps, Hall of Fame promoter and Chairman of Top Rank, Bob Arum, Melvina Lathan of the New York State Athletic Commission and HBO Sports Sr. Vice President Mark Taffet. Foreman vs. Cotto is promoted by Top Rank, in association with Miguel Cotto Promotions and Yankee Stadium. HBO World Championship Boxing will televise the fight live nationally at 10:15 p.m. ET / 7:15 p.m. PT. "The original Yankee Stadium had a great tradition of boxing, and with this fight we begin a new tradition in our new home," said Lonn Trost, Yankees Chief Operating Officer. “Yankee Stadium will provide a great backdrop for what will definitely be a magical night for the sport of boxing, in what we hope is the first of many fights in our prestigious home.” "The inaugural promotion at Yankee Stadium is perfect for this location,” said Bob Arum, Chairman of Top Rank. “It should be a great night of boxing and I believe this will lead to other great nights of boxing at Yankee Stadium." Foreman (28-0, 8 KOs), a 29-year-old from Brooklyn, N.Y., is the first orthodox Jew to win a world championship in nearly seven years.

For more than twenty-five years I have made a close study of our champions, have watched them in. their greatest battles, and have often put the padded mittens on with some of them myself, to find out through personal experience what traits of character or physical power made them superior to other men. In the old days of English boxing the English placed great reliance in 'straight left." The Jem Mace School of boxing was of the "hit and get away" order, nearly all of the fighting being done with the left hand, the right reserved for a finishing blow. This is the safest style of boxing, and a skilful fighter with a fast left hand can easily beat down a stronger and clumsier opponent in a long fight. A curious thing that I have often noticed in left-handed fighters is the peculiar development of the left, arm, Abe Attell had a wonderful left land. When I first saw him fight, at Alex Greggains' old club on Howard St in San Francisco, Abe was a two-handed slugger.
