PeltzBoxing

A leader in quality fights since 1969. IBHOF class of 2004.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Another was Holyfield vs. Michael Dokes.

[RingKai @RingPhantomx]

Easily one of the most brutal, high-level heavyweight wars in history

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Back on The Boardwalk before 6am in Ventnor, NJ.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

The 1977 fight was during the week at night and televised only on local cable.

[Mark T @markt296]

@G__Chain Those two legends fought twice 1977 and 1979 on Saturday afternoon Network TV.. I watched both what a war both were

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

There are so many interesting stories in boxing away from the limelight but all we read are the same things about the same fights over and over. We need someone like the late John Feinstein to write about boxing away from the bright lights of Las Vegas abd MSG.

[Paul Magno @Boxing_Tribune]

What's most frustrating about boxing media is that even the "independents" act exactly like the compromised media-- same stories, same tone...Jesus, people, media is failing because people are rejecting the old ways. Try something new. Take some chances. Stop being Muzak.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Exactly. Why do people respond to such nonsense?

[Steve Kim - the Thomas Sowell of Boxing @SteveKim323]

0-0, he'd never face them...

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Also, we had to divulge all income available to any fighter under promotional contract. That does not exist in the revised act.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Yes

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Yes

[Ron Katz @rkmatchmaker]

@RapaczBoxing @PeltzBoxing Are you talking about revisions in the Ali Act?

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

They won't be able to afford the premiums for the medical insurance, for one thing.

[Cory Rapacz @RapaczBoxing]

@PeltzBoxing Why do you think it'll hurt the middle class promoter?

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Very few promoters ever adhered to the Ali Act over the years. The newer version they are trying to push thru will hurt the middle class promoters big time.

[#MrPullUp @Chris120778]

@RapaczBoxing @PeltzBoxing So much for the Ali Act protecting those involved.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

The $20,000 bond required by NY State is a joke.

[Cory Rapacz @RapaczBoxing]

@PeltzBoxing Does NY require a surety bond? This is a complete failure by the commission regardless.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

All he had to post was a $20,000 bond.

[Grey Johnson @BoxrecGrey]

@PeltzBoxing Truly crazy this keeps happening. Do you know if Gramling had to provide any proof he could (in theory) pay people

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Referees, judges, timekeepers, doctors. Fraudulent checks for everyone. Commissions need to change the rules to protect fighters. Luckily, medical insurance was paid ahead of time. Julio Rosa suffered a torn rotator cuff. Due for surgery in Florida but got a fraudulent check.

[adam abramowitz @snboxing]

Some news this morning. Problems from an April 25th card from Rochester, New York. Fighters haven't gotten paid. Fraudulent checks. The NYSAC is investigating. According to BoxRec, the promoter of record was Derick Gramling. Matchmaker was Diana Rodriguez. Ongoing story.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Jesse Watters should be fired for his ignorant statements about people not being to control their childrens' drug habits. Watters doesn't have a clue and he has no credibility.

[BigDaddy @strujillo075]

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., criticized far-left groups during an appearance on "Jesse Watters Primetime," calling it a "small communist takeover" and describing current activism as an "orgy of socialism."

Junior welterweight Bryce Mills, of Liverpool, NY, stopped solid Julio Rosa, of Orlando. FL, after three rounds of their scheduled 10-round main event Saturday night at the Blue Cross Arena in nearby Rochester. Mills, 24, is 22-1, 9 K0s.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

The first class was 1990.

[Stephen Sorby @spsorby]

@SugarShane97 @MonteroOnBoxing The International Boxing Hall of Fame is primarily intended as a celebration of the sports great & good

Remember, it was only devised in the late 90's & the current induction process has only been in effect for about 20yrs

As for Gatti, his global imprint was undeniable

🥊

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Philadelphia welterweight Juan Rivera won every minute of his eight-round fight last night against the capable lefty Alex Martin, of Chicago, at the 2300 Arena in South Philly. Keep your eye on Rivera. He's only 20.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Dry vermouth, gin, lemon juice, orange juice, marischino cherry. You can Google it.

@PeltzBoxing What’s in a Gene Tunney?

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Drinking a Gene Tunney cocktail at the 2300 Arena bar before the fights tonight. Named after the legendary heavyweight champ.

[PeltzBoxing @PeltzBoxing]

Fifty years ago tonight, the future Linda Peltz sat on the front row at The Spectrum in Philadelphia as Bennie Briscoe knocked out Cyclone Hart in the first round of their rematch in front of more than 11,795 paying customers. What a start!
