  • The Art of War—Rodriguez and Hackett Explode!
    The Art of War—Rodriguez and Hackett Explode! The Mouthpiece La Pelea del Año The Art of War—Rodriguez and Hackett Explode! By: George Hanson Jr., Esq. Date: Friday, July 29, 2011 Venue: The Asylum Arena, Philadelphia, PA Promoter: Andre Kut, KEA Boxing Promotions (www.kea-boxing.com) Matchmaker: Renee Aiken Ring Announcer: Henry Hascup Referees: Hurley McCall & Gary Rosato Photos: www.christoneyphotography.com Greg Hackett ready for war! Chapter One – Laying Plans: It would be reasonable to assume that Greg “Hot Shot” Hackett read The Art of War—the ancient Chinese military treatise, devoted to strategies and tactics, by Sun Tzu, a high ranking general in the late sixth century BC. Hackett is somewhat of a boxing savant whom history tricked and delivered 100 years late, transporting him to reality in 1986 instead of 1886. There’s no doubt he should have been riding shotgun with heavyweight champion Jack Johnson and middleweight champion Stanley Ketchel as they barnstormed and wildcatted throughout the early 1900s. At Tuesday’s press conference Hackett began laying his plans to defeat Juan “The Beast” Rodriguez by questioning the legitimacy of his boxing dossier. Glib, jovial and brutally honest, Hackett intimated that Rodriguez had been fed a steady diet of handpicked opponents from the pugilistic graveyards—bowling pins with gloves that fell with the slightest pressure. None of Rodriguez’s six opponents had a winning record and in totality were dismal: 6 wins – 17 losses – 4 draws – 4 kos. Hackett, to his credit had faced 10 fighters, three of them undefeated, with a combined slate of 29 wins – 11 losses – 0 draws – 18 kos.

After a time, a poet’s work can be recognized the way the first few notes of a favorite song resonant as distinctly belonging to that artist. This phenomenon makes finding a new poem that steps outside of the familiar tones or voice of a poet’s body of work that much more exciting—like hearing a favorite artist add a new instrument or genre element to a song. Ultimately, readers can recognize the poet’s voice because that’s the comfortable range—familiar notes where the voice feels best.

  • Sandy Saddler Career Record: Click Alias: Joseph (Joey)
    Name: Sandy Saddler Career Record: click Alias: Joseph (Joey) Saddler Nationality: US American Birthplace: Boston, MA Hometown: Boston, MA Born: 1926-06-23 Died: 2001-09-18 Age at Death: 75 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 8½″ Reach: 178 Manager: Charley Johnston Trainer: Jimmy Brooks LONG AND lean, Sandy Saddler didn't look like a puncher. But he was. Saddler's 103 career knockouts are more than any other featherweight champion in history and rank him sixth on boxing's all- time list. Saddler turned pro at 17 and engaged in 93 fights before he beat Willie Pep for the featherweight title in 1948. In 1945, he won 24 fights, including 17 by knockout. On the way to the title, he beat top featherweights Charles (Cabey) Lewis and Miguel Acevedo and met future lightweight champions Jimmy Carter and Joe Brown. He drew with Carter twice and knocked out Brown. Saddler's career is best for his intense four-fight series with Pep. Pep boasted a 73-fight unbeaten streak and was considered boxing's consummate boxer before his first match with Sandy. But Saddler scored a fourth-round knockout to win Pep's title. Three months and 13 days later, Pep put together a masterful boxing performance and regained the title. While waiting for another shot at Pep, Saddler won the vacant junior lightweight title by decisioning Orlando Zulueta in December of 1949. He defended it once, knocking out Lauro Salas, and was granted a third match with Pep in 1950. The third and fourth Pep fights were marred by fouls.

  • New 5Th St. Gym in Miami Beach Carrying on Rich Boxing History
    New 5th St. Gym in Miami Beach Carrying on rich boxing history MIAMI BEACH (June 8, 2015) – The new 5th St. Gym is carrying on the rich boxing history established there in 1950 by the famed Dundee brothers, Chris and Angelo. Known throughout boxing as the world’s most famous gym, 5th St. Gym became a major attraction for boxers, international celebrities and tourists alike, originally due to presence of a rising star training there, Cassius Clay, who, of course, went on to become The Greatest, Muhammad Ali. Hall of Famers and future inductees have trained at 5th St. Gym over the years, including Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Carmen Basilio, Archie Moore, Willie Pep, Roberto Duran, Lennox Lewis, Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, Mike Tyson, Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones, Jr. and so many other ring greats. Others who have been part of the 5th St. Gym experience are actor Matt Damon and comedian Dave Chappelle, in addition to elite athletes such as Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Lebron James, Green Bay Packers future Hall-of-Famer Julius Peppers and former UFC great George St. Pierre. 5th St. Gym’s history also includes legendary celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Sean Connery, Jackie Gleason. 5th St. Gym fell on hard times at one point but a revitalization started in 2009, thanks to new owners Tom Tsatas and Dino Spencer, who re-opened the gym at its original location on 5th and Washington in Miami Beach. In 2013, 5th St. Gym moved from its original location of 63 years, off and on, when CVS took over the property and forced the gym to move to its present location at nearby 1434 Alton Road.
