Boxing was very popular on radio during the medium's golden age. Floyd Patterson and Tommy Hurricane Jackson battled for the heavyweight crown at the Polo Grounds in New York in 1957. Patterson was the world heavyweight champion twice between 1956 and 1962. At the age of 21, he became the youngest boxer in history to win the title, and was also the first heavyweight to regain the title after losing it. Jackson fought Patterson in 1956 and lost in a 12 round split decision. We have the rematch. Floyd Patterson was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991.

Marc McMenamin reports on the enigmatic "Gentleman of Boxing" Floyd Patterson, and his Irish connections.
Segunda parte dedicada a uno de los personajes más fascinantes de la historia del boxeo. En nuestro programa anterior dejamos a Archie Moore, por fin, como campeón mundial del semipesado. La suya fue una larga andadura, con más de 160 combates y 16 años como profesional. Tenía ya ¿36 años? Una edad en la que, en esa época, la mayoría de boxeadores ya estaban retirados. Sin embargo a la vieja mangosta todavía le quedaban muchos años como campeón, muchos retos por delante y muchas experiencias por vivir. Se enfrentará a tres grandes pesos pesados de tres épocas distintas: Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson y un joven Cassius Clay. Será, además, clave en las dos carreras boxísticas de George Foreman. Una vida dedicada a ayudar a los jóvenes más desprotegidos. Muchas vivencias, que le hacen una de las figuras más grandes y especiales de la historia del boxeo. Y siempre, siempre, con mucho jazz y mucha filosofía. Corte 1: “Close enough for Jazz”, Van Morrison Corte 2: “Drumming Man”, Topper Headon Corte 3: Nina Hagen “Sugar Blues” Corte 4: “Bring down the birds”, Herbie Hancock Corte 5: “The Cat”, James Taylor Quartet Corte 6: “Pasa la vida”, Pata Negra Corte 7: “Jazz on the autobahn”, Felice Brothers
MICHAEL FRANZESE UK TOUR TICKETS: http://tiny.cc/MF-remademan Sitdowns with Gangsters book: https://geni.us/SitdownswithGangsters Shaun Attwood's LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/shaunattwood By the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins, 7 Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon. Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined ‘Iron' Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, and, in this book, he gives a rare insight of the early Tyson, who after sparring with Joe described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet. In the UK, opening a pub pitted Joe against protection racketeers. Armed with guns, axes and machetes, the organised-crime gang attacked Joe's pub. During a battle worthy of Braveheart, Joe and his friends stood their ground, and Joe was shot. Tragically, Joe was charged with attempted murder.
Diving into the story, lessons, and greatness of the greatest of all times, Muhammad Ali from Jonathan Eig's book: Ali-----2:30- Cassius' Reality"Why can't I be rich?"hHe asked his fatherLook there, his father said, touching the boys walnut-colored hand. That's why you can't be rich.4:20 - Misfortune to Fortune: The Stolen Bike7:20- The Goal His goal, he said, was to be the youngest heavyweight champion in the history of boxing. Clay was only eighteen, which meant he had three years to break the record of Floyd Patterson, who had become the champ at the age of twenty one years and ten months. 10:20 - Having a PlanI got a fight plan and I will do it when I can. But it would be the worst thing I could do to go in there with my mind all made up. I have been fighting since I was a child, and I do everything on instinct. Sometimes I wonder at myself when I see a big fist coming at my head, and my head moves without me thinking and the big fist goes by. I wonder how I did it.11:20- Fighting = ForgettingThe great fighter lose themselves in the void. They don't think about it. They ride the rush.17:50 - Champion MindsetMaybe I can be beat. I doubt it. But the man is going to have to knock me down and then I'll get up and he'll have to knock me down again and I'll get up and he'll have to knock me down and I'll still get up. I've worked too hard and too long to get this chance. I'm gonna have to be killed before I lose, and I ain't going to die easily.22:30 - Stand on Your BeliefsWho wants to go to jail, he said. I'm used to running around free like a little bird. In jail, you got no wife, no freedom. You can't eat what you want…being in prison every day, looking out of the cell, not seeing nobody…A man's got to be serious in his beliefs to do that.35:00 - Getting Kicked in the FaceBest thing that ever happened to me. I needed that. Thank you very much. Losing that fight was just what I needed. It made me humble. I'm going into the woods and will train at my camp. No more fooling around.Three Final NotesAli spoke of the meaning of his life,God is watching me. God don't praise me because I beat Joe Fraizer. He wants to know ho do we treat each other, how do we help on another.”On being scared,Years later, he would admit to friends that he had been frightened before every one of his fights. But he hid it beautifully. And once the bell rang, his fears vanished.On your purposeI got a feeling I was born for a purpose. I don't know what I'm here for. I just feel abnormal, a different kind of man. I don't know why I was born. I'm just here. A young man rumbling. I've always had that feeling since I was a little boy. Perhaps I was born to fulfill Biblical prophecies. I just feel I may be a part of something–divine things. Everything seems strange to me.-----Check out my new book Chasing Greatness: Timeles
12-4-2023 Passed Ball Show. John spends this program talking about the College Football Playoff and how the selection committee got the right four teams to play for the National Championship. John gives his reasons why, including the precescdent that has been set for teams that lose a game early in the season. John understands the frustration from Florida State fans over their team not making the top four in spite of being undefeated. He blames Georgia for that happening; a Georgia victory would have all but assured a FS top four spot. John then talks about the Baseball WInter Meetings and reiterates his belief that more MLB teams are willing to spend near the top tier for an individual player than ever before and why he would be surprised if the Atlanta Braves signed Shohei Ohtani. During today's #SavingSportsHistory segment, John talks about the first Grey Cup, the birth of the Montreal Canadiens, the first (forced) pro football Championship game, Kenesaw Mountain Landis allowing black players to be signed, Floyd Patterson, Masanori Murakami, Jesse Burkett, Lee Smith, and Shannon Briggs.

Big Joe Egan joins the podcast this week to tell his story and he's well and truly travelled The Rocky Road to contentment. Raised in Ringsend, Dublin, he took up boxing after being bullied as a kid and never looked back. His first fight was against future world champ Steve Collins and he went on to become multiple-times Irish heavyweight champ, which brought him into the orbit of Floyd Patterson, Cus D'Amato and a young Mike Tyson. He became Tyson's sparring partner in the Catskills, surviving savage rounds where others couldn't and even earning the moniker, ‘The Toughest White Man on the Planet' from the man who couldn't knock him down, try as he might. The pair became lifetime friends and Tyson even fought some of his early professional bouts in Joe's Ireland shorts, which he'd absconded with during a trip to the USA. Here, Joe delves into his amateur career and nights at the National Stadium, the support he got from his family, his anger at not being selected for Seoul 88 and helping to make an elderly Lugs Brannigan walk tall after a chance encounter in town. Joe also talks about his own pro career, the crash that effectively finished him, and life after boxing which saw him shot twice during an attack on his pub which featured from machetes, hatchets and shotguns, releasing his life story, after-dinner speaking and featuring in the movies. It's a hell of a tale. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Back in the 1950s, the heavyweight division was more or less held hostage by Floyd Patterson's trainer and manager Cus D'Amato after Rocky Marciano retired. A number of heavyweights during that time ripened on the vine, if not had a good portion of their careers wasted.

Muhammad Ali Quotes on Life, Champions & Boxing (Wisdom Radio) Who was Muhammad Ali? Muhammad Ali, original name Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., (born January 17, 1942, Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.—died June 3, 2016, Scottsdale, Arizona), American professional boxer and social activist. Ali was the first fighter to win the world heavyweight championship on three separate occasions; he successfully defended this title 19 times. Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr., grew up in the American South in a time of segregated public facilities. His father, Cassius Marcellus Clay, Sr., supported a wife and two sons by painting billboards and signs. His mother, Odessa Grady Clay, worked as a household domestic. Serena Williams poses with the Daphne Akhurst Trophy after winning the Women's Singles final against Venus Williams of the United States on day 13 of the 2017 Australian Open at Melbourne Park on January 28, 2017 in Melbourne, Australia. (tennis, sports) When Clay was 12 years old, he took up boxing under the tutelage of Louisville policeman Joe Martin. After advancing through the amateur ranks, he won a gold medal in the 175-pound division at the 1960 Olympic Games in Rome and began a professional career under the guidance of the Louisville Sponsoring Group, a syndicate composed of 11 wealthy white men. In his early bouts as a professional, Clay was more highly regarded for his charm and personality than for his ring skills. He sought to raise public interest in his fights by reading childlike poetry and spouting self-descriptive phrases such as “float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” He told the world that he was “the Greatest,” but the hard realities of boxing seemed to indicate otherwise. Clay infuriated devotees of the sport as much as he impressed them. He held his hands unconventionally low, backed away from punches rather than bobbing and weaving out of danger, and appeared to lack true knockout power. The opponents he was besting were a mixture of veterans who were long past their prime and fighters who had never been more than mediocre. Thus, purists cringed when Clay predicted the round in which he intended to knock out an opponent, and they grimaced when he did so and bragged about each new conquest. On February 25, 1964, Clay challenged Sonny Liston for the heavyweight championship of the world. Liston was widely regarded as the most intimidating, powerful fighter of his era. Clay was a decided underdog. But in one of the most stunning upsets in sports history, Liston retired to his corner after six rounds, and Clay became the new champion. Two days later Clay shocked the boxing establishment again by announcing that he had accepted the teachings of the Nation of Islam. On March 6, 1964, he took the name Muhammad Ali, which was given to him by his spiritual mentor, Elijah Muhammad. For the next three years, Ali dominated boxing as thoroughly and magnificently as any fighter ever had. In a May 25, 1965, rematch against Liston, he emerged with a first-round knockout victory. Triumphs over Floyd Patterson, George Chuvalo, Henry Cooper, Brian London, and Karl Mildenberger followed. On November 14, 1966, Ali fought Cleveland Williams. Over the course of three rounds, Ali landed more than 100 punches, scored four knockdowns, and was hit a total of three times. Ali's triumph over Williams was succeeded by victories over Ernie Terrell and Zora Folley.

November 22, 1965. In downtown Las Vegas, thousands of fans come inside from a rare rainstorm to watch a boxing match featuring young superstar Muhammad Ali. But the lopsided crowd isn't cheering for Ali; it's backing two-time heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson. The two men have come to symbolize more than boxing, but an entire societal struggle.Today, why was Muhammad Ali—formerly Cassius Clay—such a polarizing figure across America? How did this boxing match embody an internal struggle within the Civil Rights movement? And how did it serve as a key stepping stone in Ali's evolution into one of the era's most iconic activist voices?Special thanks to our guests: Dr. Gerald Early, professor of English and African American Studies at Washington University in St Louis; Dr. Todd Boyd, professor at the University of Southern California and chair for study of race and popular culture; Jonathan Eig, author of the biography “Ali: A Life”; W-K Stratton, author of the biography “Floyd Patterson”; and Dave Kindred, an American sportswriter known for his coverage of Muhammad Ali.

Fue el entrenador de campeones como Floyd Patterson y José Torres, pero realmente pasó a la posteridad como el maestro y mentor de Mike Tyson, el campeón mundial del peso pesado más joven de la historia. Aquí te contamos su vida, sus ideas, su filosofía y sus innovadores métodos. Corte 1: “Gangsters”, The Specials Corte 2: “Woodstock”, Crosby, Still, Nash and Young Corte 3: “Sock some lovin' at me”, Bobby Patterson Corte 4: “I think I'm paranoid”, Garbage Corte 5: “Lil' Red Riding Hood”, Sam the Sham and the Pharaos Corte 6: “Peek a Boo”, DEVO Corte 7: “September Gurls”, Big Star

Sean & Johnston present you their interwinding roads that began in the 1952 Olympic Games and lasted all the way up until 1961. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SHOPIFY: https://www.shopify.co.uk/shaun Big Joe Egan's book on Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09VF42BCR Big Joe Egan's book worldwide link: https://books2read.com/u/md62QZ By the age of 24, Big Joe Egan had over 80 boxing wins, 7 Irish titles and was a Golden Gloves champion. A mean body puncher with a durable chin, he went the distance with Lennox Lewis and beat future WBA champion Bruce Seldon. Encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, Joe joined ‘Iron' Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike, and, in this book, he gives a rare insight of the early Tyson, who after sparring with Joe described him as the Toughest White Man on the Planet. In the UK, opening a pub pitted Joe against protection racketeers. Armed with guns, axes and machetes, the organised-crime gang attacked Joe's pub. During a battle worthy of Braveheart, Joe and his friends stood their ground, and Joe was shot. Tragically, Joe was charged with attempted murder.

It is befitting that I leave the game just like I came in, beating a big bad monster who knocks out everybody and no one can whup him. That's when little Cassius Clay from Louisville, Kentucky, came up to stop Sonny Liston. The man who annihilated Floyd Patterson twice. HE WAS GONNA KILL ME! But he hit harder than George. His reach is longer than George's. He's a better boxer than George. And I'm better now than I was when you saw that 22-years old undeveloped kid running from Sonny Liston. I'm experienced now, professional. Jaws been broke, been knocked down a couple of times, I'm bad! Been chopping trees. I done something new for this fight. I done wrestled with an alligator. That's right. I have wrestled with an alligator. I done tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning, thrown thunder in jail. That's bad! Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick! I'm so mean I make medicine sick!DON KING: Bad dude!Bad, fast! Fast! Fast! Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom, hit the switch and was in the bed before the room was dark.DON KING: Incredible.And you George Foreman, all you chumps are going to bow when I whup him. All of ya. I knowyou've got him. I know you've got him picked. But the man's in trouble.

Full Transcript: Passionistas: Hi, and welcome to the Passionistas Project Podcast, where we talk with women who are following their passions to inspire you to do the same. We're Amy and Nancy Harrington. And today we're talking with Judith Halbreich. Her lifetime of advocacy work is focused on the importance of all children, having a home base and continuous mentorship. She is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist with a successful executive career in social services, clinical research and mental health. Judith is the founder of Home of Champions a unique program in upstate New York that identifies leaders emerging from the foster care system and supports them towards becoming champions of their best selves. So please welcome to the show Judith Halbreich Judith: So happy to be here. Passionistas: So Judith, what's the one thing you're most passionate about? Judith: I am most passionate about changing policies and procedures and instituting some programming for the disadvantage youth or kids coming out of foster care, going to college that want to graduate and want to have a career and want to be leaders, but there are difficulties in obtaining that. So I am so passionate about them achieving their goals. Passionistas: Why is that something you became particularly passionate about? Judith: As a social worker in New York City, and as a caseworker I started off with having teenagers from probably the worst areas of New York, like East New York. And I had a group of kids 13 to 17 and we took them and I decided to take them away on retreats with staff to empower them, to give them self-esteem and we handpick them. Many of them were in care foster care because they were abused, severely abused. And I can tell you one story of a girl that was so severely abused, but she's so smart. And she went on to college and she became a director of a Bronx Rehab Center. So we took the youth to retreats with an independent living skills program, but with the sense that they are diamonds in the rough, they just need to have the support to be the best they could be. I realized that, and then I became executive director of that agency. And one day after I left that agency to relocate. That one person that was severely abused, who made an incredible life for herself, came back to the agency and said, if it wasn't for this group of staff, that helped me. I wouldn't be where I am. And to me, that was like the impetus for starting this program without a doubt. No one ever he has professionally. What? Because no one looks for it. What they've done. Right. You just do what you do on your path. But she came back and said, I want to say, thank you for the love and the encouragement. She went to college. She became a director of a clinic. That's one. And there, there are many, but she's the one that came back. And that was kind of the realization that this absolutely works. The mentorship and the support that is needed for disconnected disadvantage, foster care youth to come out of a system that want to go to college that want to achieve. They can do it. And Nancy, Amy, can you imagine that you and I had to support growing up and even if we didn't, it may turned out maybe mediocre for some people and maybe our situation, but for us, it's great. But can you imagine for those kids, it is a disaster, it's a disaster. They don't have that support. Passionistas: Tell us about where you grew up and what your childhood was like. Judith: My childhood. I had a mother who was an incredible lady. She went through hardships on her own, but always cared for and supported and foster care kids and adoption. She was a woman that was self-empowered. And not only did she take care of the community, those kids, but also she was. And incredible business woman in the suburban long Island. So through her divorce, she actually went to the dark night of the soul and she retreated in the basement, but I learned what impairment is. She became a spiritual leader, a universal spiritual leader. Aside from that, her grandmother living in Queens, New York supported the community. So all many young mothers she would bring, the grandmother would bring my mother's grandmother would bring baskets of food. Diapers anything or not diapers at that time, but a lot of food and anything else that these young mothers needed or the community needed. So I come from that background of giving back to the community when it was time for you to go to college, where did you go and what did you decide to study? I actually went to, it was the time of the Civil Rights. We were witnessing a lot of stuff going on in New York. We couldn't get gas. There were some violent protests. It was very calm, nothing like today. So my mother decided I'm going to, you're going to go to Indiana. So I spent time at St. Mary's in Indiana. I actually started the first drug rehab program online in Indiana University, but I had gone to St. Mary's and I worked under Birch by just doing a policy and procedure stuff, but I went into college, wanting to, I saw it teach elementary education and then one day I decided, no, this is not me, even though I wanted to do see it. I did art and I said, no, I'm going to be a social worker. I'm going to impact whatever policies and procedures there are. That need to be, you know, revamped. I need to be an advocate. So it, my junior year, that's when it started. And then I had gone on to a graduate school in New York City. Passionistas: So now tell us about your first job out of school. Was that McMann services for children? Judith: That was Angel Guardian on Long Island. And I worked there for three years. I had some clients in Brooklyn and there was an opportunity for me to go to Fordham Graduate School of Social Services, and they had a one-year program, but because I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work too. I was able to get into that program at Fordham for a year, and I received my Master's and then moved to New York City following an offer at McMahon, which were run by the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. And the Franciscans are incredible because they are professionally in all walks of life physicians, social workers, nurses, teachers, and here, they had this organization on 45th Street and First Avenue that it was a small operation. Maybe we had 200 kids, the budget was a million something. But it made an impact. So I left my graduate school, got hired there as a caseworker, and that's when I started programming with independent living skills. Then later I became the director of social services and I started actually the first HIV foster boarding home program. Now that was in a time when no one knew what HIV was. An AIDS. Well, we had, we had babies coming in and out of care back in the hospital, back and foster care and no one knew what to do. So I worked with the city of New York and with Ari, I'll never forget Ari Rubinstein and Albert Einstein who they, they were researching what this thing was, this disease and why kids were dying. And then we established the first foster boarding home program because I had to go to Albany and fight. To get foster parents a better rate to take care of kids that was severely sick. I mean, can you imagine having babies that are going back and forth to the hospital and staying there, coming back, going there? You know, it was an incredible time. And then I became executive director and the first lay executive director of a Franciscan order. Passionistas: And so why did you move on from there? And did you go to Boston after that? Judith: The reason I left was because I got a proposal to be married and well, when you're in, you know, in your thirties and you get a proposal and I had proposals, but I thought, Oh no, this is my career, you know, but I got a proposal from my dear husband, but he had to be in Buffalo. So he is I had to move from, after being executive director for a year, I moved to Buffalo with him, but the agency called me back to be on the board of directors. And then we had gone to Boston just for a year, but I stayed two years because I loved it. I wanted to move there. We had our daughter and I said, this is like the best place in the world. So I stayed there two years and then came back to Buffalo. Passionistas: What did you do there? Judith: Well, I was the marketing consultant for the commissioner of social services in Boston. Yeah. And my daughter went to a public school that was incredible. And I absolutely a hundred percent wanted to stay there, but what can you do? Right. Passionistas: But then you ended up back in New York City. Judith: So I worked with the University of Buffalo doing clinical trials for depression and women's studies. And then my daughter graduated high school and went on to college and New York City. And I then decided, cause my grants ended my husband and I agreed that I could get a position in New York City. And then we would just go back and forth, which works for us cause we kind of travel, you know, for work anyway. And that's when I procured a position as director of a clinical director of a mental health facility in Harlem. And I was there for eight years. Passionistas: What was that experience like? Judith: It's very challenging. I loved my staff without a doubt. I had about 35 people seven psychiatrists and the rest psychotherapists, and we provided 33,000 visits, medical visits a year, but it was tough because. The community needs so much more than what we were offering. So it was tough. I started in my clinic coordinating healthcare and mental health. Which is so important for the kids too. You can't just take care of one arm. You have to take care of the whole body, right. Something's going on. So I absolutely loved the community there. Some were dependent on drugs because that's the system, right? It's not just there it's everywhere, but I was really happy to hire a nurse who coordinated health and with us. And psychiatric care. Passionistas: So now how did all this lead to founding a Home of Champions? Judith: My daughter said that she had to interview somebody in Panama and would I come with her? And that's the time I was in New York city, my husband and I were going back and forth because he had a job here in Buffalo. And I was in New York and Bethany was at school in NYU, but she was interviewing somebody in Panama. So I went with her and we decided to go to an off shore, like a, a small, tiny Island. And we did. And you can only bike ride there. So we did that and you don't get too many services there. So we stayed in a tree house and they had bikes, but the bikes were not suitable really, but we took them anyway and we later found out they weren't suitable. And I fell off a bridge on the bike. I came up and my daughter said to me, and I would, you know, blood was gushing. And she said, when are you going to do this Project? When are you going to do this thing that you love for kids? As I was bleeding, mom, when are you doing it? Do it. You talk about it, like gushing the blood. I come up, the bike wrapped around my neck does the handle and I went down, but then I was like, and then write your book. Do those things matter now, but that's a story because they were there no clinics. So some guy that was drunk, a taxi guy picked us up and he was throwing beer cans around. He took us to a clinic and he said, these are the symptoms that you have to watch. You're not going to be alive if you have one of those symptoms, because it's takes three hours to get you out of here to a hospital. So it worked. Passionistas: What were the symptoms? Judith: You said the symptoms were brain clot. Right? Then I would phase out, but I had no symptoms. I just bled, which was good. I would be dizzy, you know, unconscious, but I had none of those. That was the turning point of that. Because I was, again, I was working full time and it didn't matter. She, my daughter just said, Do it, you're not going to die now, mom. Passionistas: So tell us about the organization itself and what's, what's the mission? Judith: I was searching for property. I had gone to New York city looking upstate and found this property. That was perfect. It's an hour away from New York city. And it was the old estate of Floyd Patterson and the training camp of Muhammad Ali, Johannson and of course, Floyd lived there and Tracy Patterson, his son, who's still there in the area. So we purchased it. And for the past few years, it's a startup, we've been doing workshops and we have a champion curriculum. So our mission is to identify potential leaders in the foster care system. So statistically. 400,000 kids are in care. 26,000 are discharged from care. So you get a kind of perspective. Now, a certain percent, I'm just talking about New York state a certain percent want to go to college. They do want to go. They want to learn about vocations. They want to learn. So when they are discharged from care, it's either 18 or 21 and some can still remain if they're in college. But what happens is 3% of them graduate from college and it might be a little bit less. So in New York state, statistically, I mean, once they're discharged from care, one out of four become homeless. One out of four are incarcerated two years after they're discharged, which is, and 42%. And, you know, I have the research to confirm this 42% don't complete high school, but I was, I, the reason that I did this mission and this vision was because of the kids I worked with. If they have an opportunity. Look, what they do. One went off to college, became a director and that, that was like three or four retreats. And two years of mentoring. So this particular organization that I created is to screen foster care or now disadvantage youth that get to college on their own merit, or want to get to vocational school and have leadership qualities. So when you look at the issue with kids in foster care, they go from one home to the next. And it's the average three, three transfers a year to different homes, different schools. So what happens is some of them create resiliency. So these what the society calls a misfit. No, some of them. Have this resiliency to adapt their tune into details. Why you have to go from one home to the next. So when that happens, right, they have this extraordinary creative activity. Those are the kids we want before they get to pimps and create their own business, a fortune that way. But these are the kids. We want the ones that are resilient, you know, the ones that can. Survive in a college atmosphere and that's what they want. So just let me skip Muhammad Ali said “Champions aren't made in the gyms.” So champions, they have the will and the skill are champions, but what's most important to be a champion is the, will the will. So I've noticed doing the workshops. And speaking was kids doing the workshops that when I have 35 kids in the workshop too, I know that it can be leaders. Why? Cause they march on forward. They bring the rest of the group. They're not followers they're leaders. So that's our mission to identify future leaders among foster care youth or disadvantage youth. And I'm saying that because there are other kids in homeless shelters that want to go to college that are kicked out of their home because of abuse, but they have a potential and a strong, productive, they want to be strong, productive leaders. So those are the kids were screaming. Passionistas: You're listening to the Passionistas Project Podcast and our interview with Judith Halbreich.

So, how do you find the kids or how do they get involved with the person? Judith: Right now, I've been connected with New York City agencies and invite them to our workshops. But at this point, we're in a, we're trying we're fundraising to get. The residential part of the programming done. Now, when kids are discharged, I don't know anything about how to take care of themselves in an apartment, in a home. So we're building a tiny home village. So each tiny home is about a little under $20,000. So on this property, our aim is to get those tiny homes in so they can learn independent living, financing, wellbeing, but it's a metaphor because they're going to learn how to build one. And then we're going to have those on campus for them to live in. But metaphorically, when you build a tiny home, you build the base, the foundation, the walls. Well, our creation of this curriculum is what is the foundation of your life? You know, what are the rules? What's the roof, what's the interior. So the important thing is a consortium having a consortium and I have connected with not only New York City agencies and linkage agreements with many of them that know me from the past, but also the SUNY. And then we have West Point coach in boxing who wants to come over. But this one of the things is discipline. If you don't have discipline, you can't do it. So they come over and Tracy Patterson has been at our workshops, just talking about boxing, but what. He's a world champion boxer, but he didn't get there overnight. He had to have that will and the discipline to do it. And these kids, when I see them in workshops, they get it to two out of 35. And I don't know statistically what that is, but maybe handful get it. And they want to be part of the program and the others. Gradually if that's what they want. So our program is unique because it screens for leadership. Cause you know, you and I had the opportunity. They don't, they don't have an opportunity and I'm a proponent for kids being in care until age 26. Because when they're discharged, they're discharged with the, I'm not saying agencies do a great job. They try to do a great job. Many of them, these kids are discharged, but they carry a backpack of, I read something, an article about a gal who carried a microwave in her backpack to go to college. So what is going on? Where are they during COVID where are they? Yeah, they do get computers. Maybe if they're in a foster home or in a college. But really, I mean, I had an online summit and it was free talking about new careers the next 10 years. And it was really dynamic. Many of them couldn't get on for some reason they were absent. Where are they? So that's another issue during this time we have to figure out. How to change a system. And I mean, it, if they have trouble trying to vaccinate all of us well, and they find a way, thank God to vaccinate all of us. Thank God. Maybe they can find a way on how to connect the disconnected. That is my mission. Passionistas: What are some of the techniques and things you use in these workshops to help these kids get prepared for their journeys? Judith: There is a curriculum that we've established. And I have an educator who goes through several methods, right of training. Now we realized just with his methods and then having kids there that basically we had to mentor them and train them on basics, how to use the computer, how to get on social media. How to be interviewed, what is your goal? Just basic stuff. Now, this is very different than residential because residential that's a whole other and we're not there yet because I have to get these tiny homes in and I can place nine kids in the main house, but I really, and staff. But right now I'm thinking in a bigger way, I realize that they don't have the basics. So I've invited several agencies and the SUNY at New Paul's business center to talk about just basic financial organization. I have a nurse practitioner who is amazing. She talks about wellbeing. What is wellbeing taking care of? A lot of the kids that come to us we take surveys and. We get their feedback. They are not motivated or they're stressed out. They're worried about finances. So we have all that information and that's how we program our workshops and what they need. Basically. I noticed that a lot of the kids that are coming from New York City up to that area go back home and they can't communicate with their families after they're freshmen in college, they don't know the basics of living outside of home. So our programming is going to be a little bit different now because we're going to have retreats on those youth that are going to college, but that spent two weeks with us on an orientation. What it is. To get into school, what will the skills they need and that it has to do with wellbeing, mental health, right? When you're stressed, what do you do? The horrors of drug addiction, alcohol, all of that. Now I know colleges do that and I know social services do that, but when they're in a community of kids that are going to college, and then I have also a group of students that I'm working with that are going to be like mentors to the kids. Before they come in. They're so excited. This is the first time I'm using this approach because. A lot of them are in homeless shelters and they want to get to college. They don't know how, but our programming has been very didactic. You know, you can't do so much with two days or three different weeks of training. You have to see them for a longer period of time. So that's what we're aiming for in the summer. Hopefully we can do this. With COVID. We have to be very strict. And with young team with teenagers that are 18, 19, 16, 17, 18, 19, they have to be supervised with the COVID issue. That's a liability. So we've gone from doing workshops there to virtual, which that doesn't work. It doesn't work. I don't know where they are and the kids that come on, I could see that they have a support, but the ones that I've invited are not there that were in our workshops. It's like a continuum. I think that there's lack of continuity, wherever they are. Lack of technical support has got to be. And I know that several different outlets, like Time magazines, writing an article on this, several people are writing articles on this. These are the forgotten kids during COVID, but they were forgotten before COVID. I think it's much better that, you know, we see them face to face. Obviously, but we're going to do our best to do what we're doing now. Like zooming, some of them don't know how to, or don't have a computer. They don't, and some of them don't have enough food. I don't know what's going on with them. Finances, lack of emotional support. This is a big issue that I don't hear it in the news at all. Where are they? Passionistas: You mentioned the summit. Tell us more about that. When you did it recently, what was it about. Judith: We did a summit — Future Ready Summit. And it was an overview. It was very interactive. So our participants were able to interact. It was to find out where they're at and what they need. Now they'd have to, again, be screened. They filled out a registration form. They went online. It was free. And it was all about what their desire is for vocation or college, what they need to do to get there, like an overview. And then also building a, we haven't done the second, third one yet building a resume and interviewing. But most importantly is what are the jobs? That are out there that are $70,000 plus that you don't need a college education for. It could be detectives or electrical line checking or electrical system checking. I mean, I didn't know that, but a lot of these kids have their own one wants to be a coder. The other one wants to be a social worker. So what do they need to do? This is what's the focus. And the dialogue. And then first of all, to show them how we're changing rapidly to robotics and what kind of jobs are there and the environment, where can they go to school? Where financially, cause they do get some financial support and a good deal of it, but we can, they sustain themselves during college. What kind of careers there are, what's a knit community that they can work now. Now, some of them said, Oh, Uber, they could work for Uber because some of them were from New York city gardening because there are gardens in Brooklyn and there are all kinds of positions there. And then I'm also LinkedIn with an agency that does entrepreneur planning. So if they have an idea to say agencies, fantastic, we it's called. We thrive. They actually sponsor them for an entrepreneurial product and design implementation. And I'm working with SUNY business center. The director there comes in to teach them about finance. These kids don't know what's available for them. So we're, we're trying to do our best with, to link the kids that are. We don't know where they are. We've done a lot of research as to where they are. Many schools don't want to share because they don't know where they are. So how are we supposed to know? But we start with what we have and then hopefully when we can manage this without, you know, the COVID crisis, we can get them on campus and start a residential program. Passionistas: Is there a way for young people in need of support to find you and get involved with the program? Judith: Right now, I have again, linkage agreements with the agencies, but I've reached out to freshmen in the neighboring colleges. And I have got a group of, of kids that are phenomenal. They're actually assisting with community outreach. They're assisting with creating a critical mass list of where are these kids. All right. You could see it's statistically on paper, or we've got a number of these kids, right? Where are they? So I've got students that are working on it. I also have a Bronx reporter that is going to start working with me and hopefully I can get her to be on the board, but we're going to try to do TV spots, cable or whatever, because kids watch TV if they don't have computer. And I noticed that if you have 15 minutes segments and you, you girls know this, right? I mean, this is the way to go, but kids watch TV. They don't go to the computer. Anything we can do to get them. Aware and to find out what they need. And as you know, Nancy and Amy is like I don't know how many articles about the Governor Newsom has increased the budget for foster care youth. In many different ways, I mean, he's given social workers more money to take care of them, family resource centers. I mean, he's really acknowledged that. And surveyed 16 social service agencies in this article to keep up with, it says California foster youth face even more challenges and mid pandemic, but it seems to me that he is on it. So I really appreciate what he's doing. Passionistas: As allies. How can we, and our listeners support what you're doing. Judith: If anybody knows anyone that has the same passion that I do. I'm looking for a consortium of a group of people that would be willing to sit in a think tank to see how we can solve this issue of connecting the disconnected. That's number one, number two, anyone interested in marketing because I'm trying to market and raise funds for community center. If anybody knows a boxer that they could connect with, that would be terrific to spearhead this campaign. Basically that's what is needed, but I do need advocates with the same passion and mission, the same passion that I have to move this ahead. Anybody in the tiny home business that would like to help us plan it because we're thinking about the tiny home on wheels. Cause then you don't need permits at least in California though. So, and then to be aware of when you, in living in your community, have your ears and eyes open because we need to know where they are, where are the kids? That are discharged from care in the, even if they would just charge two years ago, what's happening in the homeless shelters. Are they there? Where are they? And to, I guess, support your local Congress person to be an advocate for connecting the disconnected. And I really mean that let's change the system. If they could do this with COVID right, they're doing it. Maybe we could do this for our youth. Maybe we can have a system where we know where everybody is. Yes. Is it possible? It is. Passionistas: What's your dream for these kids that you're helping? Judith: That they love themselves and know, you know, whatever past they've had, that they. Love themselves, who they are and they are diamonds. People just have to see that, but they have to know at first, too. I've had such great opportunity and I'm so filled with, I can't get over these kids that I've met that are amazing. They could change the world and they need to have that support. And you know who the foster, the famous are. I don't have to tell you well, why? Because they had that one person that cared… only one, one, one person that cared enough to say, you can go to college because you're so smart. Even I didn't have a big mouthand you're telling me you're so smart, and this is how you're going to do it, that encouragement. So that's what I hope for them because it can be done. To see them flourish is an then to come back. You'd never, you very rarely see that when someone comes back to say it's because of being empowered, that changed my life. And this is a girl who was severely abused. I mean physically with her phalanges off the smart kid smart kid. And she was told that aside from all those physical things that happened to her. So there is a transformation that happens when somebody tells you you're worth it. Passionistas: Thanks for listening to our interview with Judith Halbreich.

The town of Yakima is not only the self-proclaimed "Palm Springs of Washington State" - but it's also the hometown of some remarkable and famous people. A partial list includes the late Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. The great short story writer and poet, Raymond Carver, grew up there. One of the most-admired writers for kids spent time in Yakima - and was the author of Pat Cashman's favorite books about Henry Huggins and his dog, Ribsy. She was Beverly Cleary… who died in 2021 at the age of 105. Perhaps one of the most underrated pop vocalists of all time is from Yakima: Gary Puckett. He named his band after the nearby town of Union Gap. Remember the big Indian guy from the movie "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"? His name was Will Sampson… he grew up in Yakima - and, frankly, could have cashed in on his gum endorsement in that ‘Cuckoo' movie. ("Juicy Fruit") Believe it or not, the great standup comic, Sam Kinison - grew up in Yakima. The legendary movie stuntman and actor, Yakima Canutt, took his first name from the Yakima River Valley where he grew up. The skiiers, Phil and Steve Mahre are from Yakima. So was Pete Rademacher… the one-time heavyweight boxer who got knocked out by Floyd Patterson at Sick's Stadium in Seattle in 1957. And perhaps… most notable of all… Floyd Paxton was from Yakima. Who is Floyd Paxton? Only the inventor of the Kwik Lok Bread Clip. But there's another Yakima native whose name you might not know… but should. She was, after all, the very first executive producer of Almost Live! She's Dana Dwinell. After high school in Yakima, she graduated from the University of Washington… from which other Almost Live! alum like John Keister, Nancy Guppy, Bob Nelson and Joel McHale also graduated. It is considered a super easy college. But after Dana graduated, she soon got her first TV gig at KING in Seattle as a part-time production assistant - eventually working her way up to be the associate producer of KING's longtime morning show, Seattle Today. She got stuck in that gig until a new station program director came along with some new ideas. One idea was a local music video show called REV - an acronym that stood for ‘Rock Entertainment Videos. Dana became the co-producer of that - a show that introduced a new face to TV in a recurring segment called The Rocket Report. That new face? A guy named John Keister. But the new program director had another big idea: Starting up a never-before-tried local comedy show. After a couple of not-so-good pilot shows… it eventually became Almost Live! Dana Dwinell was tapped to be the executive producer. A couple of years later, she moved on. Really moved. To produce a morning show in Philadelphia - staying for three years. Later she went on to San Francisco for another TV opportunity. There were other stops along the way - but she and her husband eventually made the decision to move back… to Yakima. It would be a new career - in advertising. Today, she runs her own very successful company: D2 Communications. D2, see? Because her name starts with two D's? That's a cool idea using the first letter of your first and last name to form a business acronym. Unless your name is Pete Peterson. Find out more about the journey of the remarkable Dana Dwinell - as Pat talks to her from the D2 offices - in the Palm Springs of Washington state - Yakima. Not far from Ellensburg - the Oxnard of Washington state...

Constantine "Cus" D'Amato (January 17, 1908 – November 4, 1985) was an American boxing manager and trainer who handled the careers of Mike Tyson, Floyd Patterson, and José Torres, all of whom went on to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Actress turned director Regina King’s One Night in Miami is a ‘what if’ fictional story about the night of Feb. 25, 1964 when 22-year-old Cassius Clay whups Sonny Liston for the Heavyweight championship of the world at the Convention Center in Miami. The film had its premiere at the Toronto film festival last September and has just released on Amazon. I was a kid lying in bed the night of the big fight, listening to Howard Cosell call it on a black and gold Zenith transistor radio, pulling for one Cassius Marcellus Clay to somehow beat the terrifying Sonny Liston, the defending champ who’d destroyed Floyd Patterson for the title in the first round two years earlier. The Olympics pretty boy was being fed into a cage of Black rage. After Clay miraculously won in the 7th when Liston’s shoulder gave out, I bounced around my bedroom. Little did I realize that’s pretty much what Clay, Jim Brown and Sam Cooke would do as well, in Regina King’s direction of Kemp Power’s 2013 stage play. The

Today's episode is about a former Heavyweight World champion who's early years were hard bitten, hungry and violent as he was beaten up by his father, most of time for no reason and was neglected by his mother. He's life was a very unique one, he had ties to the mafia and was constantly knocking heads with the law. The life of Liston consisted of discrimination, hurt and sadness as when ever something good happend to him, he was knocked down, for example when he beat Floyd Patterson to win the World title, no one was there to give him a homecoming when he got of the plane because of his demeanor, intimidating looks and past full of crime, he felt like he was never accepted by the fans, However, it got worse when Sonny Liston was found dead in his bedroom in Las Vegas pretty decomposed in one of the biggest mysteries in Boxing as there where so many theories that lead to his death, for example, a loansharking ring, heroin overdose, murdered by drug dealers and the police covered it up etc.

You Need to Stand Up for Yourself The evolution of society and rapid shift in perceived gender roles has created a world in which manliness and masculinity are concepts that are ambiguous and difficult to explain, at best. Yet no matter what your beliefs are pertaining to modern masculinity, I think everyone can agree on one simple fact. You cannot consider yourself a true “man” unless you are willing to stand up for yourself, what you believe, and those you love. I want you to imagine John Wayne, Steve McQueen, or even a character like Tyler Durden in Fight Club are sat at a table in a bar, surrounded by friends and family. A stranger from another table comes over and starts insulting one of his family members, bringing up some past feud and looking to cause trouble. What do you think they would do? Would they cower in their seat, avert their eyes, and start nervously twitching? Or would they get out of their seat, square up with the aggressor, look them in the eyes and invite them to leave before they had a real problem? I think we all know the answer. Being a real man has nothing to do with loving or looking for violence, but it has everything to do with being willing to take a stand for yourself or the things which you believe. In the 21st century, it is important to realize that this rarely (if ever) means physical confrontation. Taking a stand for yourself can be as simple as telling your boss that you need a raise because you have been working harder than anyone else and have measurable results to prove it. It can mean speaking candidly with your significant other about the way that they have been addressing you in public situations and informing them that their actions are inappropriate. And yes, occasionally, when all other options are exhausted, it can mean taking the gloves off and throwing a mean right hook when someone truly steps out of line. Never be afraid to stand up for yourself, your friends, or your values, because at the end of the day it is better to live a short life where you face your fears and live boldly than a long life as a coward. 2. Life is Meant to be Lived in Community 10,000 years ago on the plains of the Savanna, men lived in communion with one another. They lived together, ate together, hunted together, fought together, and died together. Town elders would lead the tribe and create rituals and rites of passage for young men to pass through in order to become a man. The warriors of each tribe relied on each other and trusted the men around them with their lives. And for hundreds of thousands of years, this is the way that we as a species, and more specifically, we as men, have evolved. We live in the most socially disconnected time in human history, and despite all of our technological advancements and the rapid growth of social media and other online platforms, the problem is not getting any better. Men struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, they are lost and confused about who they are and what it means to be a man, they are lonely and afraid and depressed, and it is due, in large part to our lack of community. We no longer live in tribes. If we wanted to, there are many among us who could limit our face to face interaction with others to less than once a week when we go out for groceries. Men no longer go to other men for advice and emotional support. We no longer have tribe elders who can guide us and mentor us. With the exception of military servicemen, we no longer have brothers in arms who have struggled through life with us and been there for us through thick and thin. And we are paying the price. Men are suffering from depression and suicide at alarming rates and society tells us to simply take another pill or get a new prescription, instead of being told to build a band of brothers. If you want to succeed in life, if you want to be truly happy and successful, then you need to have a group of men around you who you can trust, you need to have a community of like-minded individuals who will build you up and hold you accountable and who will be there for you when you are on cloud nine and rock bottom. 3. Manhood is Defined by Your Values and Your Code Manhood has meant something different to nearly every culture throughout history. The Vikings version of manhood was markedly different from the Greek’s which was markedly different from the Apache’s. But the one thing that all of these ancient cultures had in common is that their ideals of manhood were derived from a code. Every great “manly” culture built their foundation of masculinity upon an ethos, a way of life, and a code of honor and conduct based on the values of their unique societies. For some cultures mercy and reason were at the forefront of their code, for others it was power and justice. The truth of the matter is, there is no one code that will work universally for every man. We all have different realities, different religious and political beliefs, and different lenses through which we view the world around us. This means that all of us will function under a different code and live by different values. And while it is extremely important which values you have and uphold (integrity, honor, service, and generosity should be at the top of your list) it is more important that you uphold a set of values that make you a better man and help you contribute to society in a more meaningful way. 4. You Need to be a Well-Rounded Man So often in our modern society, we are quick to judge and label certain activities as unmanly, red neck, or “posh”. Many see hunting and marksmanship as a lower class activity for camouflage wearing, tobacco chewing country boys. or they see dancing as a “gay” and unmanly activity in which no They see dancing as a “gay” and unmanly activity in which no self-respecting man would participate. Or they say that horseback riding and poker are activities that are only appropriate for trust fund babies and the super rich. But you need to remember that an essential part of modern manliness is being able to participate in a wide variety of activities and show yourself to be well-rounded both in your skills and intellect. You need to become, as the rampaging viral internet memes suggest, “A man who can do both.” You need to be able to be a diplomate and a fighter, to speak well among the scholars of academia and the blue collar workers down at the bar. You need to be comfortable both in a suit and tie and in camouflaged jacket. You need to be someone who is able to hold himself in any situation and is unafraid of new things, no matter what stigma is attached to them. 5. Show Respect to Others I don’t care whether you are living in an incredible community of amazing men, living by a code, and the most well-rounded person in the world, if you are not extending respect and love to the people in your life, then you are not a true man. Period. End of story. No one can call himself a man if they are not respecting the people in their lives, if they are not loving others, and if they are not following the “golden rule.” Respect others and earn the respect of others. That is where true manliness lies.
I natt är det 61 år sedan Sverige upplevde sin individuellt största idrottsliga bragd någonsin. På Yankee Stadium i New York mötte en stensättare ifrån Göteborg vid namn Ingemar Johansson världsmästaren Floyd Patterson. I den tredje ronden vann Ingemar Johansson genom knockout och svensk boxning blev därefter aldrig densamma. I det här avsnittet av Dokument Retroperspektiv åker vi tillbaka 61 år i tiden för att diskutera om vad det var som egentligen hände, den där sensommarkvällen i Bronx, New York. Vi har spånat kring de två skilda bakgrunderna Floyd och Ingemar kom ifrån och vad det kom att innebära för deras karriärer inom just boxningen. Med fokus på Matchen med stort "M" som förvandlades till en trilogi och hur deras relation såg ut i slutet av deras liv. Det här Dokument Retroperspektiv, det här är Floyd Patterson VS INGO Johansson.

From May 2011: Phil Gries joins Ed in the studio for more highlights from the first ten years of Johnny Carson's reign as host of The Tonight Show, including a surprise appearance by Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, on Sept. 16, 1965 (one night after Carson made a flip remark in his monologue about the then-upcoming fight between Clay and Floyd Patterson). Most of the tapes from the first decade of the Carson Tonight Show broadcasts were erased by NBC, so this is a rare opportunity to hear the King of Late Night in his early days. Also in this segment: Phil plays a clip from a celebrity roast of Johnny Carson that aired on the Kraft Music Hall on Oct. 23, 1968. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sonny Liston's Life is a metaphysical poem set in human forrm. Charles L. "Sonny" Liston December 30, 1970) exact date unknown, was an American professional boxer who competed from 1953 to 1970. A dominant contender of his era, he became the world heavyweight champion in 1962 after knocking out Floyd Patterson in the first round, repeating the knockout the following year in defense of the title; in the latter fight he also became the inaugural WBC heavyweight champion. Liston was particularly known for his toughness, formidable punching power, long reach, and intimidating appearance. Sonny Liston the human gas piston. Although Liston was widely regarded as unbeatable, he lost the title in 1964 to Muhammad Ali, who entered as a 7–1 underdog. Liston retired in his corner due to an inflamed shoulder. Controversy followed with claims that Liston had been drinking heavily the night before the fight and had entered the bout with a lame shoulder. In his 1965 rematch with Ali, Liston suffered an unexpected first-round knockout that led to unresolved suspicions of a fix. He was still a world-ranked boxer when he died under mysterious circumstances in 1970. Underworld connections and his unrecorded dates of birth and death added to the enigma. Liston you were not owned by mere willful bullies of intimidating appearance. The Ring magazine illusion of authority ranks Liston as the tenth greatest heavyweight of all time, while boxing writer Herb Goldman ranked him second and Richard O'Brien, Senior Editor of Sports Illustrated, placed him third. And all in the end the empty invisible wind passing by unknown. Alfie Potts Harmer in The Sportster also ranked him the third greatest heavyweight and the sixth greatest ever boxer at any weight. And today his example is used by flapping lips making noises. Liston was inducted into the international Boxing Hall of Fame in 1991. Though how he would care is unknown to him. Sonny does not want your superficial counterfeit hate disguised as love. So I will illuminate the merry monarch of pluralistic dichotomies who in his living mystery made. It is seen and thought to be known yet he made no butcher of his conscious. And made no truth of others fantasized truths. Charles did not become the illusion the world so wanted to believe. A champion has conquered all your objections left the sight of these pretenders who never make the grade to be saved. and I, no respector of persons imagination saw Sonny as No respectable person wanted to know Charles, the real Charels Liston whom had no dog proof ass.

Pat Mullin and Mark Radulich present the next chapter in the history of the lineal heavyweight boxing championship; Floyd Patterson and Sonny Liston!
Jerry Quarry was one of boxing’s most gifted fighters. But, he had two major flaws that were impossible to overcome: his size and his “thin” skin. First, his size. Most heavyweight boxers fought at weights that surpassed 200-pounds. Quarry was smaller and fought most of his fights between 175 and 185 pounds. As for the “thin” skin, that’s the best way I can describe how easily he cut. Those two flaws, certainly affected Quarry’s chances to win a heavyweight championship. As an amateur, he won the Gold Gloves. But as a professional, he fought for a heavyweight belt four times, but in each instance he lost. Quarry, who was 53-9-4 as a professional, could punch with anyone. Whether he hit you with his right or left, both were powerful. He was technically smart, and he offered brutal beatings of Ernie Shavers, Floyd Patterson and Ron Ellis – all top contenders. Quarry, who started to train in a boxing ring at the age of six, came from a family of boxers. He fought 200 times as an amateur, and basically lived his life in the ring. But, by the time he was 56, his body gave out and he succumbed to dementia pugilistica. A sad end to a wonderful life, and career. And that career saw him step into the ring against the likes of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. In fact, his bout against Frazier on June 23, 1966 was named Fight of the Year. During Quarry’s days in the ring, there was a period of time where he was named as the most popular fighter in the world by “The Ring Magazine”, spent some time on TV as an actor appearing in such popular shows as Adam-12 and I Dream of Jeannie. But, Quarry’s mission was to win the heavyweight championship. Sadly, he never realized that goal. Perhaps, had there been a cruiserweight division when he fought, Quarry might have had a much different career. But, that weight division didn’t exist, and Quarry had to step into the ring against some of the sport’s most legendary boxers and the beating he took were brutal. George Thomas Clark, who appeared on Sports’ Forgotten Heroes for discussions about Teofilo Stevenson and Archie Moore, returns to SFH for an in-depth discussion about “The Bellflower Bomber” – Jerry Quarry.

James English, The Anything Goes Show Ep76.The story of joe Egan.Born and bred in Dublin, Big Joe Egan, as he is affectionately known, got his first ring baptism of fire when he fought the national junior champion Steve Collins. In Joe's second fight against Collins he proved that he'd come on in leaps and bounds. By the age of 24 he had recorded over 80 wins, 7 Irish titles and he was a Golden Gloves Champion. Joe was encouraged by Floyd Patterson to try his luck in the USA, so Joe joined Mike Tyson's training camp in the Catskill mountains with the great Cus D'Amato. Joe became like a brother to Mike Tyson, who once said of Joe after a particularly vicious sparring session, that Joe was the Toughest White Man on the Planet. The two became the firmest of friends.Joe's dreams of continuing as a boxer were cruelly shattered when he was forced to quit following a serious road accident on the night of his second pro fight. Changing fortunes saw him struggle to get his life back on track. His personal life hit the headlines after his former glamorous fiancée Lisa Murphy left him for Lord of the Dance (1997) Michael Flatley. The downward spiral continued with a new pub business venture pitting Joe against organised protection racketeers armed with guns, axes and machetes. Joe was shot and nearly died and was also later charged with attempted murder.Follow me on social media

He is also the author of This Will Make a Man of You and The Ultimate Man's Survival Guide. Favorite Success Quote “I like a man who grins when he fights” ~Winston Churchill Key Points 1. You Need to Stand Up for Yourself The evolution of society and rapid shift in perceived gender roles has created a world in which manliness and masculinity are concepts that are ambiguous and difficult to explain, at best. Yet no matter what your beliefs are pertaining to modern masculinity, I think everyone can agree on one simple fact. You cannot consider yourself a true “man” unless you are willing to stand up for yourself, what you believe, and those you love. I want you to imagine John Wayne, Steve McQueen, or even a character like Tyler Durden in Fight Club are sat at a table in a bar, surrounded by friends and family. A stranger from another table comes over and starts insulting one of his family members, bringing up some past feud and looking to cause trouble. What do you think they would do? Would they cower in their seat, avert their eyes, and start nervously twitching? Or would they get out of their seat, square up with the aggressor, look them in the eyes and invite them to leave before they had a real problem? I think we all know the answer. Being a real man has nothing to do with loving or looking for violence, but it has everything to do with being willing to take a stand for yourself or the things which you believe. In the 21st century, it is important to realize that this rarely (if ever) means physical confrontation. Taking a stand for yourself can be as simple as telling your boss that you need a raise because you have been working harder than anyone else and have measurable results to prove it. It can mean speaking candidly with your significant other about the way that they have been addressing you in public situations and informing them that their actions are inappropriate. And yes, occasionally, when all other options are exhausted, it can mean taking the gloves off and throwing a mean right hook when someone truly steps out of line. Never be afraid to stand up for yourself, your friends, or your values, because at the end of the day it is better to live a short life where you face your fears and live boldly than a long life as a coward. 2. Life is Meant to be Lived in Community 10,000 years ago on the plains of the Savanna, men lived in communion with one another. They lived together, ate together, hunted together, fought together, and died together. Town elders would lead the tribe and create rituals and rites of passage for young men to pass through in order to become a man. The warriors of each tribe relied on each other and trusted the men around them with their lives. And for hundreds of thousands of years, this is the way that we as a species, and more specifically, we as men, have evolved. We live in the most socially disconnected time in human history, and despite all of our technological advancements and the rapid growth of social media and other online platforms, the problem is not getting any better. Men struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, they are lost and confused about who they are and what it means to be a man, they are lonely and afraid and depressed, and it is due, in large part to our lack of community. We no longer live in tribes. If we wanted to, there are many among us who could limit our face to face interaction with others to less than once a week when we go out for groceries. Men no longer go to other men for advice and emotional support. We no longer have tribe elders who can guide us and mentor us. With the exception of military servicemen, we no longer have brothers in arms who have struggled through life with us and been there for us through thick and thin. And we are paying the price. Men are suffering from depression and suicide at alarming rates and society tells us to simply take another pill or get a new prescription, instead of being told to build a band of brothers. If you want to succeed in life, if you want to be truly happy and successful, then you need to have a group of men around you who you can trust, you need to have a community of like-minded individuals who will build you up and hold you accountable and who will be there for you when you are on cloud nine and rock bottom. 3. Manhood is Defined by Your Values and Your Code Manhood has meant something different to nearly every culture throughout history. The Vikings version of manhood was markedly different from the Greek's which was markedly different from the Apache's. But the one thing that all of these ancient cultures had in common is that their ideals of manhood were derived from a code. Every great “manly” culture built their foundation of masculinity upon an ethos, a way of life, and a code of honor and conduct based on the values of their unique societies. For some cultures mercy and reason were at the forefront of their code, for others it was power and justice. The truth of the matter is, there is no one code that will work universally for every man. We all have different realities, different religious and political beliefs, and different lenses through which we view the world around us. This means that all of us will function under a different code and live by different values. And while it is extremely important which values you have and uphold (integrity, honor, service, and generosity should be at the top of your list) it is more important that you uphold a set of values that make you a better man and help you contribute to society in a more meaningful way. 4. You Need to be a Well-Rounded Man So often in our modern society, we are quick to judge and label certain activities as unmanly, red neck, or “posh”. Many see hunting and marksmanship as a lower class activity for camouflage wearing, tobacco chewing country boys. or they see dancing as a “gay” and unmanly activity in which no They see dancing as a “gay” and unmanly activity in which no self-respecting man would participate. Or they say that horseback riding and poker are activities that are only appropriate for trust fund babies and the super rich. But you need to remember that an essential part of modern manliness is being able to participate in a wide variety of activities and show yourself to be well-rounded both in your skills and intellect. You need to become, as the rampaging viral internet memes suggest, “A man who can do both.” You need to be able to be a diplomate and a fighter, to speak well among the scholars of academia and the blue collar workers down at the bar. You need to be comfortable both in a suit and tie and in camouflaged jacket. You need to be someone who is able to hold himself in any situation and is unafraid of new things, no matter what stigma is attached to them. 5. Show Respect to Others I don't care whether you are living in an incredible community of amazing men, living by a code, and the most well-rounded person in the world, if you are not extending respect and love to the people in your life, then you are not a true man. Period. End of story. No one can call himself a man if they are not respecting the people in their lives, if they are not loving others, and if they are not following the “golden rule.” Respect others and earn the respect of others. That is where true manliness lies.

The announcement drew fresh attention to the century-old tightrope that outspoken black athletes — from Floyd Patterson to Rose Robinson to Colin Kaepernick – have had to walk in order to compete and live by their principles.

Lukutaidoton, suulas ja roteva sekä yhtä pelottava kuin naurettava kenttämarsalkka Idi Amin Dada oli ovela, kökköhuumoria ja pelleilyä harrastanut raaka tappaja, joka janosi sokeasti valtaa ja hyväksyntää ja oli niiden edestä valmis kaikkiin kuviteltaviin karmeuksiin. Ugandan ulkopuolella Aminista käytettiin nimeä Ugandan teurastaja. Ugandalaiset itse käyttivät Aminista nimeä Big Daddy. Amin tappoi niin monia maanmiehiään, että Victoriajärven krokotiilit eivät kyenneet syömään heitä riittävän nopeasti. Aminin kaapattua vallan vuonna 1971, epäsuositun Oboten hallinnon jokainen jäsen otettiin kiinni ja teloitettiin ampumalla. Mm. entinen hallituksen työntekijä Francis Kalimazo kuuli radiosta uutisen kuolemastaan ja ymmärsi heti olevansa osa Aminin ruuhkautuneita töitä. Aminia pidettiin tyhmänä ja yksinkertaisena, ja oli suunniteltu että Amin on vain keulakuva, mutta Aminin vahvuuksiksi osoittautui, ettei hänellä ollut riittävää älyllistä kykyä lähteä mukaan viitta ja tikari-leikkeihin, joissa olisi juoniteltu, laskelmoitu ja jaettu valtaa kirjevaa’alla aina kulloistenkin salaliittosopimusten mukaisesti. Aminin mielestään valta kuului hänelle kun hän sen oli ottanut ja sillä selvä. Kansa oli Aminin takana, koska sillä ei ollut mitään menetettävää. Amin edusti ehkä joillekin toivoa paremmasta, mutta varsinaisesti Aminin kansansuosion takaa löytyi mm. se, että kansa muisti hyvin, että Amin piti hallussaan nyrkkeilyn Ugandan raskaansarjan mestaruutta vuosina 1951 - 1960. Kovanyrkkisen ja menestyvän raskaan sarjan nyrkkeilijän maine aikana jolloin Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston ja Cassius Clay eli tuleva Muhammad Ali olivat kaikkien huulilla, ei ollut ollenkaan hullumpi meriitti. Ugandan ja Iso-Britannian suhteiden edistämiseksi Amin kertoi olevansa valmis naimaan prinsessa Annen. Saatuaan pakit Amin piti 1975 muutaman miljoonan euron superhäät 19-vuotiaan diskotanssijattaren Suicide Sarahn kanssa. Aminin bestmanina toimi PLO:n johtaja Jasser Arafat. Vaimonsa lisäksi Amin rakasti koripalloa. Vain Amin sai tehdä pisteitä ja hän tapatti palatsin vartijan, joka blokkasi hänen heittonsa. Kansan syvät rivit alkoivat rakoilla 1978 ja yhdistääkseen kansaa Amin julisti sodan Tansanialle. Idi Amin joukkoineen kuitenkin hävisi ja Amin joutui pakenemaan maasta ensin Libyaan ja sieltä Saudi-Arabiaan. Kun poliisit tutkivat viralta pannun Idi Aminin asuntoa vuonna 1979, he löysivät mm. suuren laatikon täynnä Tom ja Jerry - filmikeloja. Idi Amin kuoli vuonna 2003. CIA:n mukaan Amin oli vastuussa 300 000 ihmisen kuolemasta. Mutta ei Amin yksin tappanut satoja tuhansia ihmisiä. Pahuutta oli paljon ja Amin antoi sille vapaan tien nousta esiin, kertoo toimittaja, tietokirjailija Hannu Pesonen, joka on kirjoittanut mm. kirjat Tuomio ja sovitus - Ruandan kansanmurhan tilinteko sekä Hiekalle rakennettu elämä - taistelu Länsi-Saharasta.

GOLDEN GLOVES/SILVER GLOVES/CUTMAN Ray Rodgers, who was born in Oklahoma but grew up in Conway, was inducted into the Silver Gloves Hall of Fame in 2001, the Golden Gloves Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2007. The late Billy Bock, a 1996 Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame inductee who was a well-known amateur boxer and later was among the pioneers of high school baseball in the state, told the Arkansas Democrat in 1990: “If it weren’t for Ray Rodgers, there would not be boxing left in Little Rock.” Silver Gloves is for amateur fighters ages 10-15. Golden Gloves is for amateur fighters ages 16 and older. Based in part on the Golden Gloves’ tie back to the Chicago Tribune, newspapers long have been among the main sponsors of amateur boxing events. The New York City Golden Gloves tournament, which has been around for 85 years, is sponsored by the Daily News. Rodgers told an interviewer in 2008: “It has a natural attraction to kids who are basically adventuresome and want to do something no one else does. That’s a lot of it. The dynamics of it hooked me in the fifth grade, and I’ve never been out of it one day. “In boxing, as in life and everything else, desire is half the deal. … I’m a great believer in amateur boxing. I think it’s one of the greatest sports ever devised. It’s a cliche, but it’s true. In boxing, you don’t have anybody to hand off to or to lateral or pass it off to. You’re on your own, brother. “The only discipline that lasts is self-discipline. You can stand a kid in a corner and whip his butt with a paddle. But once he learns self-discipline and the desire to do better in the ring, that sticks with him all his life.” Jermain Taylor is the most prominent example of the hundreds of boys (now men) Rodgers has helped through the years. Born in Little Rock in 1978, Taylor and his three younger sisters were abandoned by their father when the future champion was 5. Taylor began boxing at age 13 with Ozell Nelson as his trainer. Taylor’s Olympic bronze medal came in 2000 and his professional boxing debut was on Jan. 27, 2001, at Madison Square Garden against Chris Walsh. As noted in yesterday’s post, Rodgers has served as the cut man in Taylor’s corner throughout Taylor’s professional career. Taylor once said of Rodgers: “He’s the type of guy who comes in the dressing room and makes you feel comfortable. I’ve never seen him mad, not one time, and I’ve known him since I was 12. I’ve never seen him with a mean face. He’s the type of guy who always wants to see you smiling.” Rodgers’ father, who worked for 49 years for an oil company that eventually became part of Mobil, moved the family from Oklahoma to Conway so he could serve as a pump station engineer in Arkansas. Young Ray was already addicted to boxing at the time of the move. Ray Rodgers’ office at the Golden Gloves Education Center, which is adjacent to the Junior Deputy baseball fields just off Cantrell Road in Little Rock, now serves as sort of a museum of this state’s boxing history. There is, for example, a photo of Bock and Rodgers in 1959 at the state AAU boxing tournament with Miss Arkansas in between. “We were her escorts,” Rodgers says. Famous names in Arkansas business, sports and politics crop up as you look at the programs and bout sheets Rodgers has collected through the years. For instance, Buddy Coleman of Little Rock was the state AAU boxing chairman one year. Rodgers delights in talking about his 14-year amateur boxing career, delivering pithy quotes such as this one: “My left jab was so good the judges thought the other guy was sucking my thumb.” The Arkansas River Valley — from Fort Smith all the way down to Little Rock –was a boxing hotbed in those days. Rodgers tells of going across a low-water bridge to make it to a boxing tournament at Oark (not Ozark!) in the Ozark Mountains north of Clarksville. Places like Clarksville and Coal Hill produced good amateur boxers. The Subiaco Abbey, built in 1878 and associated with the Benedictine Order, was the home of many talented boxers. Wherever amateur tournaments were held across the state, you knew the boys from Subiaco Academy would be there and compete hard. Rodgers’ home ring was at the National Guard Armory in Conway, where he boxed for a coach known as “Slow John” Cole. Rodgers went by the nickname “Butterball.” He continued to box competitively through graduation from Conway High School and Arkansas State Teachers College, now the University of Central Arkansas. “I had deceptive speed in those days,” Rodgers says. “I was slower than I looked.” At age 16, Rodgers also began coaching younger boxers. In 1958, he sent his first boxer to the national Golden Gloves tournament in Chicago. Rodgers graduated from college in August 1960, becoming the first member of his family to earn a degree. He got married two weeks after graduation and moved to Little Rock to take a job with Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Rodgers fought his last fight in 1961 at the Mid-Arkansas Golden Gloves Tournament, but a lifetime of being involved in boxing was just starting. He has worked with young boxers at various locations through the years, even using a gym that Gary Hogan, who loves the sport as much as Rodgers, once operated in downtown Little Rock. In 1988, Rodgers raised private funds so he could transform a metal building next to the Junior Deputy baseball complex into a gym. It has been the home of the Ray Rodgers Boxing Club ever since. In 2009, he turned the adjacent building into the Golden Gloves Education Center so his boxers would have a quiet place to study. Rodgers has brought a number of legendary boxers to Little Rock through the years to promote the sport and help him raise money. Ali visited in 1990. Joe Frazier and Floyd Patterson also have visited the state’s capital city at Rodgers’ invitation. Rodgers has had his share of tragedies. In 1987, his wife Sally, a constant presence with him at boxing tournaments, died of breast cancer. His current wife, Carole, whom he married in December 2005, now helps him run amateur tournaments. Rodgers’ daughter Dawn battled brain cancer for 11 years before passing away in 2005. Last year, Rodgers finally shut down his business, Mid-South Drywall. “I’m not getting any younger,” he says. On one wall of Rodgers’ office is a tribute to Stan Gallup, the longtime Golden Gloves executive director who died in February 2009 while accompanying the Kentucky Wesleyan basketball team (his son was the school’s athletic director) to an away game It says “Stan Gallup, 1922-2009, Father of Modern Golden Gloves.” Rodgers calls Gallup “a mentor.” I happen to think Arkansas’ own Ray Rodgers has just as much a right as Gallup to that title of “Father of Modern Golden Gloves.”
Today on Unconventional Genius, I am joined by Doug Wead, and Author, Presidential Historian and former presidential advisor to talk about making a comeback. Doug impacted my life in a huge way, even though prior to this conversation we had never met. About 15 years ago, a friend of mine gave me a CD of a speech called “Great Comebacks” at a real low point in my life. Though I didn’t know it at the time, Doug Wead was the one who wrote and delivered the speech that helped me get my life back together. On this episode, I talk with Doug Wead about his life and the success he has experienced in politics and writing. Doug shares the events that had the greatest impact on him and how his experiences led him to where he is now. After our conversation, I included the “Great Comebacks” speeches in its entirety. Listen and be inspired. The inspiring stories of people who came back Doug shares great insight about what allows someone to come back after a great loss or defeat in life. He says, “The fear of loss is neutralized by loss itself.” When you’ve experienced the deepest pain of loss or failure, it gives you the freedom to risk experiencing another loss because nothing can compare to the pain you’ve already experienced. During the speech that Doug Wead gave that was so impactful to me, he goes through the comeback stories of people like Roger Bannister, Floyd Patterson, Moses and Joan of Arc as well as several others. I ask Doug which comeback story is his favorite. Listen as he talks about that and much more on this episode. The secret to Doug Wead’s success Doug Wead’s journey into politics started through charitable work. He spent time overseas in Cambodia, addressing the needs of starving people. Thereafter, he found himself working to help Ronald Reagan run for President. Doug says that Ronald Reagan was an incredible speaker because he worked at it. I asked Doug what has allowed him to experience such great success. He shares about how he discovered his strengths through knowing his weaknesses. Doug says, ”Your greatest strengths are your greatest weaknesses. And your greatest weaknesses can become your greatest strength.” If you learn how to harness your weaknesses and focus them in the right direction, you can turn them into a strength. You can come back This week’s podcast is different because, after my brief conversation with Doug Wead, I have chosen to play his speech in its entirety. Listen as he shares the story of some famous people who experience incredible loss, defeat or shame but who chose not to stay down, but to get back up and start again. Doug tells these stories and concludes each with a powerful refrain of “Get up. It isn’t over. You can come back.” His admonition is to stop nursing your pain or setbacks and instead get up and fight. He exhorts you to fight. You can change. You can make a difference. It’s not over. You can come back. If you are with a consumer technology company planning to launch a new product at CES or are even looking ahead to CES 2019, the Max Borges Agency can help you succeed.

Boxning är bara slagsmål och platsar inte i public serviceradio. Så resonerade Sveriges Radios ledning i slutet av 1950-talet och sände inte Ingemar Johanssons match 1959 mot Floyd Patterson om VM-titeln i tungviktsboxning. Beslutet att inte sända Ingemar Johanssons match mot Floyd Patterson fick inte bara radiolyssnare att ta sig för pannan och ratta över till radio Luxemburg där matchen sändes. I riksdagen hölls en lång debatt om radioledningens omdöme och självpåtagna roll som smakdomare. – Jag kan inte förstå och respektera att radioledningen försöker formulera sederegler som inte har täckning i vare sig statsmakternas beslut eller svenska folkets rättsmedvetande, sa Hilding Hagberg, kommunist och en av debattörerna. Boxning betraktas numera som en ganska perifer sport ( (intresset för andra kampsporter som MMA växer däremot) men det är en sport som från Sveriges radios start 1925 speglar en svår balansgång för radion och den alltid lika aktuella frågeställningen: Ska public service ge folk vad folk vill ha eller ska public serviceutbudet präglas av en så kallat hög kulturell standard? Medverkande Mats Strandberg, i många år anställd på Radiosporten, och Jakob Sillén, tidigare chef för Radiosporten. Programledare: Rigmor Ohlsson.

Radiosporten Dokument tar dig med till sportögonblicken som du aldrig vill glömma, inte kan förtränga eller vill uppleva igen. Hör referaten, men också reaktionerna på ögonblicken, spelet bakom kulisserna och historierna bakom historien. Sverige fick sin första världsmästare i tungviktsboxning när Ingemar Johansson slog ut världsmästaren Floyd Patterson 10 minuter och sex sekunder in i matchen på Yankee Stadion i New York. Snacket inför matchen handlade om att Sveriges Radio inte direktsände och det blev het debatt i svenska riksdagen om ”Svenska folket skulle ta skada av att lyssna på ett boxningsreferat”. Till slut fick tre miljoner svenska öron lyssna genom Radio Luxemburg. Efter segern hyllades Ingo av en hel värld och i Sverige fick han helikoptertransport till Ullevi för att ta emot fansen. Men Barbro Bang Alving, som skrev hem om matchen för Veckojournalen var inte lika glad över det hela. Floyd Patterson blev nedslagen totalt sex gånger och det talades om "en slakt". ”Det är ett slag av djupaste mänskliga förnedring”, skrev hon om när Ingo satte in den avgörande knocken.

Det är David mot Goliat. Arbetargrabben mot överheten. Sluggern mot hela världen. Berättelsen om boxaren och hans öde är en saga som håller för att berättas om och om igen på duken såväl som i verkligheten. I veckan P4 Kultur tar sig Håkan Jäder an ämnet med med både fascination och förfäran. Håkan går på boxningsgala och tillsammans med Tecknar-Anders minns han legendarer som Ingo Johansson och Bosse Högberg - vars liv nu blir film, tillsammans med Tecknar-Anders. Vi träffar också proffsboxerskan Mikaela Laurén. Majornas Messias Snart på en bio nära dig kommer en gammal legendar återuppstå; Ola Rapace hårdtränar inför rollen som "Majornas Messias" - Bosse Högberg. En av Sveriges störste boxare genom tiderna, men mest ihågkommen blir han sannolikt för den stormiga romansen med sångerskan Anita Lindblom. Bosse Högberg växte upp i Majorna i Göteborg och redan som 17-åring blev han svensk mästare i lättvikt 1956. Han inledde sin proffskarriär 1962 och blev europamästare i lätt mellanvikt fyra år senare. Han förlorade titeln samma år och slutade 1968. Håkan Jäder har sitt eget, högst personliga minne av Bosse Högberg. Ingo-knocken För dom som var med är det större än månlandningen: När Sverige fick sin första och hittills enda världsmästare i tungviktsboxning. Ingemar Johansson mötte den 26 juni 1959 Floyd Patterson inför 30 000 åskådare på Yankee Stadium i New York och besegrade honom på knockout efter två minuter, tre sekunder av den tredje ronden. En som var där var "Tecknar-Anders". Anders Andersö, krönikör och journalist är idag 80 år och har ett fantastiskt minne. Han berättar om förväntningarna, matchen och efterspelet med jubel och en del bestörta röster. Ingo var hjälte. Men några år tidigare blev han utbuad och kallades landsförrädare efter en passiv insats i OS i Helsingfors 1952. Och det är lite boxarens öde i ett nötskal: upp som en sol och ned som en pannkaka. Flätor i ringen Hon gjorde debut som proffsboxerska förra året, och gick upp som en komet. Vi träffar Mikaela Laurén som nu laddar om efter förlustmatchen mot norska världsettan. Frågan är, vad gör mest ont - att bli tillflätad i håret eller i ringen? Dessutom:
