  • 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.

Truth is that I met an amazing woman and threw myself headlong into an incredible relationship and have just not been able to squeeze out enough time to complete the newsletter to my satisfaction. LOL! I will tell you more about that in the October 2011 newsletter. As of September 1, 2011 we are into our 16 th season at Iron Dragon Kung Fu and Kickboxing Club! The beginning of a new season is always a tremendous milestone for me. For me it represents a personal triumph. I would once again like to honor all those who doubted me or ridiculed my vision with the traditional Italian salute…..slams left palm into right bicep while executing a right uppercut! LOL! A salute to those who doubted the “Iron Dragon” The seeds of Iron Dragon Kung Fu and Kickboxing Club were planted way back in 1994 while I was weight training in my basement. I was working ridiculous August/September 2011, Volume 3, Issue 8/9 2 overtime at my accounting job and was looking for a way out when….Eureka!

    PRESENTS CANCELED!By Don Stradley t’s about time to comment on the cancelation of the Gennady Golvkin - Saul Alvarez rematch, a bout that fell through when Alvarez, having failed two tests for the banned substance clenbuterol, decided to make different plans for Cinco De Mayo. Regrettably for Alvarez, he can pass hair follicle tests until he looks like Bennie Briscoe, but the company line that his initial results came from eat- I ing tainted Mexican beef will probably be questioned for the rest of his career. (left to right) Gerry Cooney’s frequent cancelations created a wall of cynism between him and the press. Vinnie Curto preferred the company of celebri- ties like Don Johnson over fighting Marvelous Marvin Hagler., he suspiciously walked away from his 1977 bout with Hagler. Thomas Heans vs. Marvelous Marvin Hagler was supposed to take place in 1982, until Hearns canceled it with a “sprained his pinky.” A suspicious cancelation has a way of altering our perception of a fighter. It’s not on par with quitting in a fight, but it carries its own unique stench that can take years to air out. Generally, it’s a poor public relations move. eavyweight contender Gerry Cooney turned cident didn’t hurt Hearns’ career, but he spent a few years cancelations into an annual event.

  • Superiority Complex: Life's a Country Club at Queens North Shore Towers
    AS SEEN IN THE: Superiority Complex: Life's a country club at Queens North Shore Towers By Jason Sheftell Friday, August 19th 2011 You can’t miss them. Three towers climbing out of the grassy border of Floral Park, Queens, near the Grand Central Parkway. But outside anyone who lives there or knows someone who does, rarely does anyone see it. That’s their loss, because North Shore Towers and Country Club is a world unto itself. It has an arcade of shops, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, 460-seat movie theater, two restaurants, an 18-hole golf course, five Har-Tru illuminated tennis courts and 1,844 apartments. Jeanne Noonan for News Studios can be bought for $175,000 and up, with one-bedroom/one-baths starting at $199,000. The big two-bedrooms in perfect condition with views of the Manhattan skyline and Queens countryside (yes, it’s a countryside) can go for up to $800,000, although they can start in the mid-$500,000 range. “This is like living in a resort, but it’s totally self- sufficient,” says Glen Kotowski, general manager of the complex and former NYPD precinct commander at the nearby 105th. “We have our own power generator, a staff of 250, and we’re literally active 24 hours per day. It’s not unlike running a precinct, except we’re not dealing with life-threatening issues. Crime is virtually nonexistent here.” Entering the gated driveway to North Shore Towers starts a series of real estate surprises.

  • Art of the Draw
    The Art of the Draw boxing by don cogswell Lewis-Tyson I (!) has now taken its place among boxing’s great promotional achievements, special-special division, (it never hurts to utilize Orwell in these double-strange times), the one at the very top of box- ing’s promotional hocus-pocus emporium, at ease and comfort with the likes of Dempsey-Carpentier, although in this more recent “contest” the beast was slain and not the hero. The opportunity, in the words of Arnold Glasgow, to see “the past returning through another gate” proved both pugilistically impossible, and promotionally irresistible, to those streaming into this fandango’s ppv Big Top. While setting new monetary returns , and plumbing familiar fiduciary lows, this plodding denouement set to the tune of a golden oldie (with a Zoloft remix) broke no new ground in the fields of promotional sleight-of-hand. For practitioners of nostalgia as balm in recasting the world’s wrongs, two partners of not-so-long-ago piloted a short (in number of bouts, near its end it seemed interminable), crownless career into pride of place among the carnies, barkers and pitchmen, in the Art of the Draw. Gerry Cooney’s career was piloted by Mike Jones and Dennis Rappaport. Dubbed the Wacko Twins, Mike and Dennis comported themselves like Hollywood Kamikaze pilot parodies but their effectiveness was more akin to those of the sons of the Rising Sun at Pearl. They scored a number of direct hits among the prevailing powers of box- iana. Cooney’s career began conventionally enough, a busy schedule against prospects, suspects and known non-vio- lent offenders.

  • Larry Holmes, Julio César Chávez to Attend Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame Induction
    LARRY HOLMES, JULIO CÉSAR CHÁVEZ TO ATTEND NEVADA BOXING HALL OF FAME INDUCTION LAS VEGAS (July 19, 2013) — LARRY HOLMES and JULIO CÉSAR CHÁVEZ SR., two of boxing’s greatest champions, confirmed they will be present in Las Vegas for their induction on Saturday, August 10, at the Monte Carlo Las Vegas Resort & Casino into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame. Holmes, of Easton, Pa., won the title on June 9, 1978 by defeating Ken Norton at Caesars Palace in one of the great heavyweight matches in history. The fight was dead even after 14 rounds and Holmes won the match, and the title, in a magnificent 15th round. Holmes held the championship for seven years, three months and two days, making 20 consecutive defenses. Holmes, who like Chávez was chosen in the non-Nevada resident boxer category, began his career 48-0 before losing a highly controversial decision to Michael Spinks. Holmes fought until 2002, racking up a 69-6 record with 44 knockouts. He scored many notable wins in Nevada in addition to beating Norton. He also bested Muhammad Ali, Earnie Shavers and Gerry Cooney. “I’m honored to be inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame, and I want to express my appreciation to all those who voted for me,” Holmes said. “Vegas has always been my home away from home. There’s nothing like Las Vegas.” Chávez, who retired in 2005 with an incredible 107-6-2 mark with 85 knockouts, fought in Nevada so often he could have applied for resident status. He fought in the state 25 times, including 19 times in world championship matches.

  • World Heavyweight Contender Lou Savarese to Be Inducted Into New York State Boxing HOF
    World heavyweight contender Lou Savarese to be inducted into New York State Boxing HOF NEW YORK (March 5, 2020) – World heavyweight title challenger and two-time New York Golden Gloves champion Lou Savarese (46-7, 38 KOs) is living the dream, as they say, preparing for his upcoming induction into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF). As one of the 28-member Class of 2020, the popular Savarese will be formally inducted at the ninth annual NYSBHOF induction dinner, Sunday afternoon (12:30-5:30 p.m. ET), April 19, at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York. “I have nothing but the upmost respect and admiration for this year’s Hall of Fame honoree, Lou Savarese,” NYSBHOF president Bob Duffy said. “I couldn’t be happier for this man who has given boxing his all, in and out of the ring. His friends and family know that this honor is well deserved.” Savarese was a local favorite, born in the Bronx and from Greenwood Lake, who was a two-time New England Golden Gloves champion having fought at the famed Madison Square Garden. “This is truly amazing,” Savarese spoke about being inducted into the NYSBHOF. “I’m a New York boxing historian, going back to the 1920’s of New York boxing history. It’s so nice to have fought in the best place, New York, the epicenter of boxing. Savarese turned pro April 30, 1989, knocking out James Smith in the fourth round of their fight in Houston. Savarese went on to win his first won his first 36 pro fights, highlighted by his 36th by a seventh-round technical knockout victory of Buster Mathis, Jr.
