HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING RETURNS TO THE CATSKILLS ON SEPTEMBER 14 New York, September 12, 2019 Star Boxing is bringing heavyweight boxing back to the historical Catskills in Saturday nights “CATSKILLS CLASH II,” featuring heavyweight title contender, CARLOS TAKAM (36-5-1 28KO’s) as he takes on CRAIG LEWIS (14-3-1 7KO’s) in a 10- round bout. Some of the greatest heavyweights of all time played a major role in the prominence of boxing in the Catskills. Names like, Mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali have all left a clear impact in the majestic New York region’s affinity for boxing. Calling the Hudson Valley village home, Iron Mike Tyson’s famous rise to stardom began under the watchful eye of legend Cus D’Amato at the Cus D’Amato Boxing Club, in Catskill, New York With a direct link to boxing, the Catskills played a major role in boxing as arguably the greatest training area for boxers dating back to the 20th century. It was not uncommon for multiple high-profile boxers to be training in hotels in the Catskills at the same time.Other greats from Sonny Liston and Muhammad Ali to Larry Holmes, Joey Archer and Emile Griffith, to Roberto Duran and Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini, have all called Sullivan County and the Catskills their temporary homes while training for fights, and for most of the 20th century, very few places in the world could claim a greater link as a professional boxing training camp mecca. Carlos Takam is well respected in the heavyweight division as someone who comes ready to fight and is not afraid to trade punches. Having fought some of the best heavyweights in the world, like Anthony Joshua, Dereck Chisora, Joseph Parker and Alexander Povetkin, Takam has proven he will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Making his US debut in the Catskills is fitting for the Cameroon born French heavyweight, where so many greats came before him. Opposing Takam, is Detroit’s Craig Lewis, a tough heavyweight with a granite chin and will. With the Takam-Lewis heavyweight bout set to headline Saturday nights highly anticipated night of fights at Resorts World Catskills, great boxing action, and specifically thrilling heavyweight boxing, lives on in the Catskills..

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.

By Walter Metz Published in: The Journal of Sport History. 44.1 [2017]. 95-96. Grudge Match, Peter Segal’s boxing comedy, relies on the contrasts between Sylvester Stallone in Rocky (1976) and Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull (1980) to produce a battle of popular Hollywood movies versus art house cinema. However, when Grudge Match pairs these two iconic actors—playing geriatric rivals reunited for one final confrontation—it forwards an understanding of what film historians seem to have forgotten. Stallone’s character was based on Rocky Marciano, the celebrated heavyweight who held the world’s championship from 1952-1956. DeNiro’s character in the biopic Raging Bull was directly based on the real Jake LaMotta. But as historical figures, Marciano and LaMotta share far more in common than the disparate films would indicate.

Press Release
Rowman & Littlefield THE BOXING KINGS When American Heavyweights Ruled the Ring By Paul Beston “In The Boxing Kings, Paul Beston joins the long line of literate observers who prove that to write about fights and fighters is to swim in the waters of society at large.” — Jim Lampley, HBO boxing commentator “A perfect one-two combination, The Boxing Kings is rigorously researched and lyrically written, a book that both devoted and casual fans will savor.”—Gordon Marino, professor of philosophy, St. Olaf College; veteran boxing trainer; and award-winning boxing writer “With the cool, unbiased eye of a referee, the knowledge of a historian, and the wit of a skeptic, Beston belongs in the company of distinguished chroniclers of the Sweet Science.” —Stefan Kanfer, author of Somebody: The Reckless Life and Remarkable Career of Marlon Brando For much of the twentieth century, boxing was one of America’s most popular sports, and the heavyweight champions were figures known to all. In The Boxing Kings: When American Heavyweights Ruled the Ring, Paul Beston profiles these larger-than-life men who held a central place in American culture. Among the figures covered are John L. Sullivan, who made the heavyweight championship a commercial property; Jack Johnson, the first black man to claim the title; Jack Dempsey, a sporting symbol of the Roaring Twenties; Joe Louis, whose contributions to racial tolerance and social progress transcended even his greatness in the ring; Rocky Marciano, an embodiment of the American Dream; Muhammad Ali, who took on the U.S. government and revolutionized professional sports with his showmanship; and Mike Tyson, a hard-punching dynamo who typified the modern celebrity.

Mfloyd Mayweather Stops Brave Conor Mcgregor
McGregor open to P23 boxing again SPORTS 2424 Monday, August 28, 2017 Las Vegas loyd Mayweather insisted he would head into a permanent retirement after sealing his place in boxing history with a 50th straightF win against Conor McGregor on Saturday. The 40-year-old American boxer outclassed McGregor over 10 absorbing rounds at the T-Mobile Arena to defeat Irish mixed martial arts by technical knockout. The win sees Mayweather, who had come out of a two-year retirement to face McGregor, surpass heavyweight legend Rocky Marciano with a perfect record of 50-0. Afterward former welterweight king Mayweather insisted he would never be seen in a ring again. “This was my last fight tonight. For sure,” Mayweather said, praising his beaten opponent. “Tonight was my last fight. Tonight I chose the right dance partner to dance with. “Conor you are a hell of a champion.” Mayweather also rejected suggestions that his 50th victory -- against an opponent who had never boxed professionally before -- would be destined to have an asterisk against it. “A win is a win, no matter how you get it,” Mayweather said. “Rocky Marciano is a legend and I look forward to going into the Hall of Fame one day.” Mayweather meanwhile revealed the fight had followed a tactical plan as he took his time and allowed McGregor to become fatigued before pouncing in the later rounds. “Our game plan was to take our time, go to him, let him shoot his shots early and then take him out down the stretch,” Mayweather said.

Resurrecting the Champ
← Back to Original Article Resurrecting The Champ If Bob Satterfield Packed One of the Greatest Punches of All Time, How Did He End Up on the Streets of Santa Ana? Retracing the Boxer's Path Leads One Man to Confront Many Demons-- Including a Few of His Own. May 04, 1997|J.R. Moehringer | J.R. Moehringer is a Times staff writer. He last wrote for the magazine about a fatal car accident involving eight Orange County teenagers I'm sitting in a hotel room in Columbus, Ohio, waiting for a call from a man who doesn't trust me, hoping he'll have answers about a man I don't trust, which may clear the name of a man no one gives a damn about. To distract myself from this uneasy vigil--and from the phone that never rings, and from the icy rain that never stops pelting the window--I light a cigar and open a 40-year-old newspaper. * "Greatest puncher they ever seen," the paper says in praise of Bob Satterfield, a ferocious fighter of the 1940s and 1950s. "The man of hope--and the man who crushed hope like a cookie in his fist." Once again, I'm reminded of Satterfield's sorry luck, which dogged him throughout his life, as I'm dogging him now. * I've searched high and low for Satterfield. I've searched the sour-smelling homeless shelters of Santa Ana. I've searched the ancient and venerable boxing gyms of Chicago. I've searched the eerily clear memory of one New York City fighter who touched Satterfield's push-button chin in 1946 and never forgot the panic on Satterfield's face as he fell.

"Why did you want to become a fighter," I asked. "Why not a cook? Bricklayer? Truck Driver?" Boxing was his last desperate attempt to head off his heartaches, he said.

Born Arnold Raymond Cream at Merchantville, New Jersey, in 1914, Joe said he was 37-years- old, and the father of six kids when he knocked out 29-year-old Ezzard Charles on July 18, 1951 to become the heavyweight champion of the world. Some people claim he was forty-one. Like Archie Moore, and this writer, he never had a birth certificate. We couldn't prove we were born.
