nuevos inmortalizados al Salon de la Fama

[mexalpha]

El pasado domingo en la tarde, en Canastota, Nueva York, el gales Joe Calzague, el puertorriqueño Félix “Tito” Trinidad y el estadounidense-mexicano Oscar De La Hoya, fueron oficialmente inmortalizados al Salón de la Fama del Boxeo.

También ingresaran al Salón de la Fama, en la generación del 2014, el promotor inglés Barry Hearn, el árbitro estadounidense Richard Steele, el periodista Graham Houston y el fotógrafo Neil Leifer.

Antes de la ceremonia de inducción, los nuevos miembros del Salón de la Fama, al igual que los presentes miembros, participaron de la gran parada, que recorrió las calles de Canastota.

El gran Joe Calzague se retiró invicto en febrero de 2009, siendo el cuarto europeo junto con Terry Marsh, Michael Loewe y Steven Ottke, en retirarse como campeón del mundo invicto. En ocasiones se refieren a Calzaghe como el Dragón Italiano, debido a su padre que es italiano de Cerdeña y su madre es galesa.

Calzaghe es uno de los boxeadores de los últimos años que ha retenido durante más tiempo un título. El título de la Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB) de los pesos supermedianos, lo mantuvo durante más de diez años. Ha sido campeón de los cuatro organismos, OMB, CMB, AMB y FIB, de boxeo más importantes del mundo de los pesos supermedianos, reinando durante un tiempo, con los tres de los cuatro títulos a la vez.

Tito Trinidad, un cinco veces campeón mundial en tres categorías y quien hizo carrera entre 1990 y 2008, es posiblemente el boxeador puertorriqueño más popular en la historia del deporte. Fue monarca en las 147, 154 y 160 libras y combatió con la crema de la crema en su tiempo, incluidos peleadores de la talla de los estadounidenses Bernard Hopkins, Pernell Whitaker y Ronald “Winky” Wright, entre muchos otros.

Oscar “Golden Boy” De La Hoya, por su parte, ganó cetros mundiales en las 130, 135, 140, 147, 154 y 160 libras en una carrera que transcurrió entre el 1992 y el 2008. En su tiempo en el boxeo también chocó con grandes púgiles como el filipino Manny Pacquiao, el estadounidense Floyd Mayweather Jr. y Fernando Vargas.

Discurso de Oscar



primera vez que veo juntos a oscar, don king y arum

[Luigi]

En las ultimas ternas e inducciones he protestado, ahora estoy totalmente de acuerdo.

[cuquin el balsero]

no estoy de acuerdo con la inclusion de trinidad.
veamos a william joppy exponer la razon que mas pesa:
"He should not ever, ever come close to the Hall of Fame, not even on the bottom tier of the Hall of Fame, because he been illegally wrapping his hands...he's a cheat...I see him [Andre Ward] holding the crown just like Bernard Hopkins. I see him doing the same thing, man...I see him holding it down for a long time. I got mad respect for Andre Ward. I don't see him losing no time soon," stated former middleweight champion William Joppy, who shared his thoughts on Andre Ward, Felix Trinidad, and much more. Check it out!

Trinidad, Ward y Hopkins tmb. son Vendados por Capetillo?

O que es lo que sucede con Joppy?

NAAZIM RICHARDSON RESPONDS TO JOPPY'S COMMENTS ON TRINIDAD'S WRAPS: "IT AIN'T LIKE THE MARGARITO THING"


"Joppy always felt some kind of way about that and he said something to me about catching the thing with Tito. But the thing is this, Tito Trinidad deserves to be in the Hall of Fame because the way Tito got his hands wrapped was legal in other states. It wasn't legal in New York, but it was legal in other states," stated world-class trainer Naazim Richardson, who shared his thoughts on recents comments made by former middleweight champion William Joppy regarding Hall of Famer Felix "Tito" Trinidad. According to Joppy, Trinidad didn't deserve to be inducted into the Hall of Fame because he felt the multi-division champion used illegal hand wraps throughout his career.

It's an issue that had never been brought up until Trinidad faced future Hall of Famer Bernard Hopkins months after his dominant 5th-round stoppage of Joppy. Richardson found himself in the middle of a controversy prior to that fight when he noticed that the technique which Trinidad's father and trainer, Don Felix, used to wrap his hands was not in accordance with the rules of the New York State Athletic Commission. Though ultimately Trinidad was required to re-wrap his hands, Richardson clarified that at the time, the technique was still legal in several other states.

"If they said we were fighting him in New York, okay then, y'all have an argument, but they weren't talking about his hand wraps when they made the fight. So by them not making it an issue, because they fought him in New York too, he knocked you out, you gotta live with it," he explained. "See, the way Margarito was getting his hands wrapped, that shit was illegal in MMA and every other sport and in every state. I can see if William [Joppy] was making that argument about Margarito, but with Tito, he just tried to wrap his hands...it could be an honest mistake."

Richardson added, "The Tito thing I think was more of ignorance. It was the fact that they were used to wrapping his hands like that all the time and most of the places you fight, like Vegas and everything, it's cool to wrap like that. So when they came to New York, they didn't think nothing of it. They just wrapped his hands the way they always wrap his hands. Well, we working by and abiding by the rules of New York, so I argued the case. But it ain't like the Margarito thing where he was blatantly trying to pull one off. One was ignorance and one was illegal."

Pero no explica la diferencia de el Vendaje!

Nomas dice que en NY era ilegal....ese estilo....pero que en los demás estados no!

Quizás no era Yeso....pero era Barro, Concreto, Acero, Hierro, Madera, Titanio, Mercurio (para tener una pegada venenosa), Cloro, Nitrógeno, Oxígeno, Calcio...etc.........no precisa que era Ilegal en el vendaje de Trinidad....

Asea.....no aclara lo del Bendaje con precisión.

GRacias por el dato como quiera.

Me gustaba ver pelear a Tito, y a Oscar no tanto por claras razones. Pero de que son dignos del salón de la fama lo son.
Curioso que fueron protagonistas de un buen combate donde los dos estaban en su momento. A Oscar a mi juicio le falto un poco de entrega para ganar ese combate, fue demasiado frio y calculador y ahí se le escapo un buen triunfo sobre el de Puerto Rico. No pasaba nada el Oscar de ese momento hubiera aguantado los golpes de Tito si este los hubiese dado. Intento boxear los rounds de los campeones (11 y 12) y ahí le dieron la espalda los jueces.

[extended19]

Se supone que puso gasa de más para proteger sus nudillos. Hay gente que cuando está vendando las manos le da vueltas a la venda hasta que hace un colchón con el que va a proteger los nudillos de su peleador. Creo que en lugar de eso, Trinidad padre usó una venda-gasa, como hacen muchos otros, y luego que la dejó ajustada con la venda, quería poner otra gasa encima y no lo dejaron.

Su justificación fue que quería compenzar la protección en los nudillos de Tito, porque Nazim Richardson no lo dejó pasar cinta sobre los nudillos antes de aplicarle el vendaje. que estaba plenamente justificado, porque lo que hacía Don Félix era totalmente ilegal.

Por cierto, Joppy es un llorón, Vargas ya lo superó y él sigue ciclado, igual que Cotto con Margarito.
