A tragic story about juvenile Józef

Published

on

Young Joseph

Everyone at the eastern end knew him, but he was far from the advertisement of his previous profession. To fight students, too juvenile, to know him as a boxer, it was challenging to reconcile the figure that they now saw with the figure of the one -time King of Great Britain and Europe, a man who fought Freddie Welsh, Georges Carpentier and Harry Lewis.

Partly paralyzed and consisting of pairs of sticks to support, his body was leaning, his gait was painful shuffling, the contrast between this and now was Stark. Although boxing may not cause the state of juvenile Joseph, his name became recognition for the inseparable risk of this sport.

Joseph Aschel-Je’s real name-he was born for Jewish parents’ immigrants in 1885. He lived at Cutler Street in Aldgate, near Wonderland on Whitechapel Road, East End boxing house. Joseph won his first chance during a trial in 1900, and from 1903 he was a regular land of spells, winning most of his fights and impresses these competent crowds with his skills. Over the next few years, his fame increased exponentially. He appeared several times at the British Boxing headquarters, the National Sporting Club (NSC), but remained true in the land of spells despite low bags.

In 1908, Joseph defeated the Baker’s Corporal in NSC for the British Crown of Code, and in March 1910 he met with the former lithe champion of Jacek Goldswain from Bermondsey in the match for the first half -two lane. Józef dominated the destitute fight, broke from the unspecified Goldswain, which was disqualified in 12th place to hold. According to the terms of his agreement, NSC suspended the purse and the costs of training Goldswain, and Goldswain sued them. In a strange accent Joseph, who belonged to the Novel Boxers Union, testified against NSC. The Westminster Court told that in his opinion Goldswain did everything he could to win and should not be fined. Goldswain lost the case and then an appeal.

Three months after winning the belt, Joseph faced Harry Lewis from Philadelphia in the Wonderland in the title of World Champion, but the great American stopped him in seven. In November, Joseph developed the French Lacroix fight in Paris for the European Crown. But in January 1911 he lost the fight for his British belt, Arthur Evernden to disqualification. Since the fight was not kept in NSC, Joseph insisted that he would still be a champion, while Evernden made an unofficial claim to the title.

In October, Joseph defended his European crown against Georges’ juvenile carpentry. The French teenager proved his revelation, winning when BN said that “almost as he liked it.” But Joseph deserved the crowd’s respect for his display, which he is never able to. Although it was obstructed by a training injury to the right fist, it was obvious that Aldgate man could not win on his best night. In retrospect, lasting 10 rounds with a legendary Frenchman, just like before pulling him out of the corner, was an achievement in itself.

There was one more match for Joseph, when in April 1912 he lost his British title from Johnny Summers. He fought for several years, but was forced to leave the ring by bad health. The exact nature of his condition and whether it results from boxing is unclear. Press reports from 1915, when Joseph was only 30 years venerable, describe him as “disabled” and “affected by a stern illness.”

After leaving the box, he had a clothing store at the eastern end, but when his health deteriorated, he was forced to give up. BN noticed in 1937, when Joseph was 52 years venerable that “he almost completely lost the apply of limbs” and considered challenging speech. It was a tragic and unthinkable PostScript for a widely respected sports hero – a man who inspired great Ted Kid Lewis. Joseph died on October 23, 1952 at the age of 67.

On this day: Warriors Nayya Inoue and Nonito Donaire show the world how boxing should look like

On this day: Warriors Nayya Inoue and Nonito Donaire show the world how boxing should look like

Original boxer report from 2019

Two days before the book and Logan Paul, they kidnapped the boxing ring in Los Angeles and emphasized how complex this sport is to master, Nayya Inoue AND Nonito Donaire He provided boxing in the best best place in the Super Arena in Japan.

Once again, the world box promoter (WBSS), promoted by Sauerland World Boxing Super Super Super Super. 26-year-old Inoue and relatively archaic Donaire, 36, were dropped in a battle in the age of a tournament that Whitting eight from the best divisions up to two.

It is approaching less than two weeks after the fans were treated by Josh Taylor-Regiis Prograis Fest, which was the lithe final of WBSS, Inoue and Donaire invented something even better. By virtue of the blood and the guts they divided, the rivals have become partners who will forever connect with each other: Inoue and Donaire are now coming off the language like Bangers and Mash, and the sports couple showed sauce.

After 12 rounds of thunderous action, Inoue added the title of WBA Bantamweight to his IBF championships, when he won a unanimous decision through the results of 114-113 (Robert Hoyle), 116-111 (Luigi Boscarelli) and misleading 117-109 (Octavio Rodriguez). The Japanese virtuoso also won the Muhammad Ali’s more and more picturesque trophy, but not earlier than Donaire allowed to receive the prize back to his hotel so that the veteran could keep his promise to his sons.

“With tears in my eyes, I humbly asked Inoue to borrow him at night, not for me, but for my word,” explained Donaire. “It will be a life lesson that my boys will learn. You do your best [can still] Come briefly. You will win. You will lose. But in both aspects you will do it gracefully. “

It was one of those fights in which the efforts of the loser certainly deserved something more than just patting on the back. In many respects they were as impressive as Victor. Especially when it is remembered that Donaire – commonly considered the nicest man in boxing after retiring Anthony Crolla – considered his future last year, when he lost to Carl Frampton in Feather Wweight.

Indeed, when he announced his plan to dismantle weight and drop to Bantamweight, few observers thought it was a wise move. Boxing news He even advised the three-important world letter Donaire against changing so many pounds at the end of his career.

But his return to class 118 pounds and entering this tournament (which Donaire attributes to Richard Schaeffer), saw that Filipino organized something in Las Vegas. Few expected that it would enhance into such a performance.

Wins on Ryan Burnett (pushed out of an injury), and Stephon Youthful on his way to the finals emphasized that Donaire is far from the end, but his performance against one of the most terrifying fighters on world boxing was completely at a different level.

Donaire boxed as well as he did for years

“Monster” played a veteran overdue in the opening round and scored a goal with two of our left hooks. Many anticipated the early victory of Inoue, but Donaire, which survived the featherweight bombs in a not such distant past, did not look like an overflow. It is malignant with his stab and a successful on the counter, the ability to tardy down time and recognition of his options is a feature that only the smartest can boast of.

In the second he gathered warmly, showing his class with the main hand and combinations. Inoue fired – again his left hand – before the favorite suddenly cares for a nasty cut at the end of the session. The anchoring wound began in a duel, and later it was sewn under the glow of a torch from a telephone with a camera in the cloakroom.

The left hook from the “Filipino flash” caused injuries, in the rounds of three and four elderly maestro, using his obvious advantage of size, threatened to take over. Lower fighters for Inoue could develop. We have seen it many times in the past (I think Kelly Pavlik is enchanted by Bernard Hopkins or Davey Moore, who are delegated by Roberto Duran) when heavily excited are exposed. But Inoue, despite the cutting and traps, which Donaire set, refused to pay and proved that any noise has long been justified.

They exchanged blows through the middle rounds. Inoue seemed to have a greater threat. On your fingers, but always ready to plant your feet, the usual speed of the right hand inoue was a view. Inoue’s work was also a pleasure to watch. He mimorated Donaire’s stab and abruptly opposed his right. In response, Noneto slipped both inside and outside the blows fired to him, exhausting the effectiveness of his rival. But in the end, if Donaire’s experience made the fight such an elegant spectacle, then the youth of Inoue won.

Another roaring left hook hurt Donaire in ninth place, but according to the subject of the fight, the weaker called his reserves and withdrew, and especially with his right hand shook her shoes.

Inoue had a price for his triumph WBSS

Inoue would later explain the scope of his injuries. His eyelid rights were not only cut out, but the bones around him were broken. His nose was broken. ” [Donaire] Left Hook was really intense – he said.

But somehow he found energy to attack 11 .. Worał terrifying the left in Donaire’s stomach. Underdog felt it immediately and when Agony swelled, he first looked for an escape, running from Inoue and then his knee. He jumped up after hearing the count from judge Ernie Sharif.

Some complained that Donaire was the beneficiary of the long count. Whatever. It is a shame that he is a shame. Especially when imagining the heroic effort required for the uprising. Inoue moved to finish the task to catch him with a tank with a left hook inside.

Donaire also succeeded at the beginning of 12 .. But Inoue regained control, and his right and left hands spin in the attack. Donaire survived the last storm and, significantly increased her own reputation.

The youth and sharpness of Inoue won the day

“I had a double vision from the second round,” said Inoue, “but I won and I am very proud of myself.

“I think I have a brilliant future. Noneto Donaire was very, very sturdy. I think Donaire is a real master.”

While the place in Donaire’s history has been confirmed in failure, the position of Inoue rises. Considering that he is only 26 years elderly, and there is a possibility with world belts in four divisions – if he has not burned out – it will be remembered among the best of them.

“Nayya Inoue is a generational talent, a kind of warrior who appears once every decade,” said Bob Arum.

The agular promoter, with whom he is now signed, is not ashamed to send great statements about his fighters. But with Inoue – as before with Manny Pacquiao – someone senses that Arum is for something.

“You look at all time, which enters the peak of what will be a historical career.”

Steve Collins

The middleweight division has always been a favorite on these shore, and at the beginning to the mid -1990s, three men were fascinated and entertained masses. Chris Eubank originally led, but Nigel Benn and eventually Steve Collins He took over, and Collins held two wins over both his rivals, and on November 9, 1996, Collins recorded a second victory over Bennem; The last time we saw the “Gloomy Destroyer” in the ring.

Two men returned to the place of their first fight, then named Nyx Arena in Manchester, where Collins initially defeated Benna in four rounds, when Leniewicz went to the stool because of ankle injury.

Four months later we returned to Manchester with Benne, looking for a redemption, and Collins is looking for a final and more clear victory. Once again, Super Middle WBO was on the line and once again Benn retired on the stool, although this time there was no injury.

Collins has always been relentless in his attacks, but Benn wore knockout power, which made him one of the most observed and exhilarating fighters that Great Britain has ever produced.

Many fans counted on another outstanding performance by Benn, but his heart did not seem to be in him at night and took a systematic beating from the hands of “Celtic Warrior”.

The “Gloomy Destroyer” may have had to give up earlier, but he was never a man who withdrew from the challenge. Benn tried to exchange Collins, but he tried nothing, and at the end of the sixth round he signaled that he no longer wanted to referee Paul Thomas.

Benn retired after the fight, although there were rumors about returning, the “Gloomy Destroyer” never returned between the ropes, despite the assumption of Collins after the fight that he would come back.

Collins fought twice as much in 1997, defending his title against Frederic Seillier and Craig Cummings, but the injury in training caused the fight against Joe Calzaghe in Sheffield this year. Instead, Eubank took up a fight, where the beginning of the legendary career at the level of the world title was present.

But the fights between Collins and Bennem, although not expected buffers, are huge in the history of British boxing and both remain cult in the middleweight department.

Remembering Ernie Vickers Boxing news

Ernie Vickers

Since on November 11 was the day of Bystice this week, he is the right time to reflect on the career of a very good professional who gave his life for his country. Many boxers who died during the two world wars were often dismissed in the BN in the last 50 years, including several excellent fighters, including masters. The death of Ernie Vickers of Middlesbrough during the Falklands war is much less known. November 11 is a time to remember the members of the armed forces who served and died, but Ernie was different because he was a merchant sailor. The Navy commemorates their dead on September 3, the anniversary of the outbreak of World War II, but as Ernie is, if I can determine, the last person died in action that had a professional career. When he died at the Atlantic conveyor, next to men from the Royal Auxiliary Fleet and the Royal Navy, I will remember him today.

Ernie comes from a sports family. His father was a champion of the army sprint in 1910, and his brother became the Yorkshire champion in a quarter mile. Another brother, Jack, professionally in 1951–1956. Born in 1924, Ernie served in Royal Navy as a newborn man, serving in HMS Ganges in the last years of World War II, and won 11 out of 12 amateur competitions. In 1949 he changed his professional, working with manager Eric Munro, who was a very good boxer before the war, replacing gloves with such as Bobby Magee, Len Beynon and George Marsden. “Pan Boxing” Middlesbrough led his newborn accusation to 26 wins from the first 27 competitions, when Vickers fought through a series of four and six runes at shows in his native northeast and around him. He regularly played at the West Hartlepool engineers club, at Groundon Hendon Cricket, Sunderland, and of course he was a great favorite in his hometown at the Farre Street stadium.

Collecting such a long winning series was quite unusual in the tardy 1940s and 1950s, and Ernie looked like a pretty perspective and was a known blow, and many opponents were broken. Kelly’s manchester cyclone escaped, ahead of Ernie in Nowy ST James Hall in Newcastle in November 1950. Kelly was at the moment for Donkey’s years, he began his professional career at the end of the 1920s and knew every trick in the book.

Another veteran for almost 20 years, Ginger Roberts from Whitley Bay, was an opponent of Ernie in Ernie’s largest career competition. Two men met at Northern Area North Half’s weight, in over 12 rounds, in December 1951 at the local Vickers stadium at Farrer Street. For Roberts it was the last competition in his career 154 and gave everything. He was the prevailing owner of the title, after winning the title last year, developing Billy Exley, and was his favorite in battle. He could not compete with the youth of his opponent, or with uneven, vivid and energetic attacks, which Vickers produced during 12 rounds, and Ernie became a clear margin at the end of the competition. Within a week of the fight, his manager advertised Vickers as available to fight with any welterweight in Europe. When Ernie left the game in 1956, he won 39 of his 58 competitions in his long career.

It is not surprising that at the age of 57 he was ready to go in the middle of the world in the last war effort of Great Britain, almost 40 years after he did it, and it was a tragedy that he died so far from home.
