Bang & Olufsen’s 90th year celebration and debut of The Love Affair Connection NY-2015

0

During the roaring 20s, Peter Bang and Svend Olufsen started their journey into technology when it was still an almost magical phenomenon, and with the accompanying flourish of Art Deco, it was clear that luxury, glamour and exuberance were at the heart of the time. Launching today in celebration of Bang & Olufsen’s 90th Anniversary is the Love Affair Collection. This exclusive collection, containing six current B&O designs, is a living illustration of the love affair that has lasted from their origin in the roaring twenties to present day.

The radiant and romantic Rose golden nuance is achieved through a unique dyeing process, which in itself inspires our designers to create concepts that can match any style and any age, where the only limit is their imagination. This, combined with warm and elegant walnut wood, bridges past and present to represent the passion, pride and persistence that has been driving Bang & Olufsen for the last 90 years.

The Love Affair Collection consists of the following six current products; the first is the majestic and recently launched BeoVision Avant 85, and then the all-in one entertainment solution BeoVision 11-46 and BeoRemote One. Also included in the range is the extremely popular magic-touch BeoPlay A9 music system and the elegant, lightweight BeoPlay H6 headphones. Last but certainly not least, the collection will include the classic, slender and straight-lined BeoLab 18 with a new walnut lamella front and a cabinet in a stunningly elegant rose golden version.
World Liberty TV, Technology Review team was on hand in NYC for the Historic debut of the Bang & Olufsen’s , The Love Affair Collection see it right here in our World Liberty TV, Technology Channel .

Gleason’s is a boxing gym located on the Brooklyn waterfront. Since 1937, when the gym was founded in the Bronx, boxers with their eyes on Olympic glory or a shot at the title have been training at Gleason’s. Fighters who trained at the gym include Jake LaMotta, Roberto Durán, Benny “Kid” Paret, Gerry Cooney, and Mike Tyson. Before his first title fight against Sonny Liston, Muhammad Ali, then known as Cassius Clay, also trained at Gleason’s.

The gym was founded by Peter Gagliardi, a former bantamweight, who changed his name to Bobby Gleason. It moved to Manhattan and then to Brooklyn. Gleason’s is now owned by Bruce Silverglade.

Gleason’s is reminiscent of the time when New York was the center of the boxing universe, when there were dozens of serious gyms in the city and when big fights were often held in Madison Square Garden. Now Gleason’s is among the last of a breed. It manages to stay open by permitting average joes—men and women—to train side by side with professional boxers, and stages “White Collar Boxing” events that cater to this clientele.

There is also a wrestling school called the World of Unpredictable Wrestling run by WWE Hall of Fame member Johnny Rodz. Many wrestlers and wrestling promoters have come from there. Graduates include Tommy Dreamer, Matt Striker, Taz, D-Von Dudley and Vince Russo, Prince Nana, as well as Big Vito, Da Baldies, Elektra, Ricky Vega, The Musketeer, Mac Daddy Flexx, Tim Arson, Damien Demento, the late S.D. Jones, the late Rocco Rock, and many more.

There is a sign on the wall at Gleason’s, posting an invitation from the poet Virgil: “Now, whoever has courage, and a strong and collected spirit in his breast, let him come forward, lace on the gloves and put up his hands.” Prizefighters have long answered this call at Gleason’s and some still do. But now they’ve been joined by brokers and dentists.

There is an illustrated book called: “At Gleason’s Gym.” Owner Bruce Silverglade and Gleason’s elite trainer Hector Roca co-authored the book The Gleason’s Gym: total body boxing workout for women, with a foreword by actor Hilary Swank (she famously thanked Hector Roca when she received her Oscar for her role in the boxing movie “Million Dollar Baby.

Boxing has lost another one of it’s good guys. Former NABF president Joe Dwyer passed away this weekend in Long Island, NY. A life long “boxing guy,” Dwyer fought as an amateur in the New York Golden Gloves, amassing an overall record of 56-2, 1 NC. Upon finishing Brooklyn’s Fort Hamilton High School in 1956, Dwyer entered the U.S. Navy where he served on the USS Roosevelt and Intrepid with the 74th Fighter Squadron from 1956 – 1959. Dwyer served a thirty four year tenure with the NYPD from 1961-1995, for many years as an investigator of organized crime. With a never ending love for the “Sweet Science” still burning in his heart, Dwyer served as chief inspector with the New York State Athletic Commission for twelve years before joining the IBF as their championship chairman. Dwyer returned to judging fights before joining the WBC, eventually climbing to the presidency of the Council’s North American Boxing Federation in June 2009. Dwyer’s health began to decline in recent years, but he kept in close contact with his boxing “family.” He is survived by his wife Linda, and children Arlene, Kathy and Joe, Jr. R.I.P. to a stand up guy who told it like it was.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman made a special presentation to Dwyer’s family. Ring 8 also made presentations to the Dwyer and Mazzarella families. Dwyer and Mazzarella, both longtime Ring 8 members, passed away earlier this year. Dwyer was president of the North American Boxing Federation (NABF). Mazzarella, who served many years as Ring 8’s treasurer, was a major influence in the founding of the NYSBHOF.

Mayweather VS Pacquiao Press Conference for 1 Million Dollars, WBC Emerald Belt NYC-2015

Mayweather VS Pacquiao Press Conference for 1 Million Dollars, WBC Emerald Belt NYC-2015

0

When Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao step into the ring on Saturday night, they’ll be fighting for legacy, pride, nearly $100 million and a specially made WBC “Emerald Belt” that is worth nearly $1 million.

The belt is specially designed for this fight and features 3,000 miniature emeralds. Everything about this fight so far has been about money, and so it’s no surprise that the special belt would be so flashy and expensive.

The emerald-studded WBC belt was finally presented on April 21 at a WBC event in Mexico. The belt was commissioned by the WBC as soon as the big fight between the two champs was announced. The belt features 3,000 real miniature emeralds and valued at $1 million. It will be transported to Las Vegas before the end of month by a private security team.
During the press conference at Foro Mazaryk in Mexico City on April 21, the emerald belt was introduced to hundreds of journalists. In attendance were Larry Holmes, who represented former WBC champions, and Adonis Stevenson, who represented current WBC champions.

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman said,”The WBC displayed over six generations of championship belts today, and presented the unique Emerald Belt. We are very happy, because everybody in the industry worked together to make this fight happen – the television networks, the promoters, the managers, and especially the boxers. We had at the press conference, together on the same stage, Televisa and Azteca for the first time ever. Both will show the fight in Mexico on May 2nd.”

“This belt has more than 3,000 emeralds, it’s beautiful and it’s absolutely priceless!” Sulaiman added.

The presentation of the Emerald Belt features a new achievement in the sport of boxing. According to Sulaiman, Holmes was selected to formally present the belt because he is one of the greatest champions that the sport ever had, having been a heavyweight champion for seven and a half years.

World Liberty TV, Boxing Team was on hand to witness the debut of the WBC Emerald Belt valued over 1 million dollars to be given to the winner of Floyd “Money” Mayweather, and Manny Pacquiao Mega fight.

Miguel Cotto Vs Daniel Geale For WBC Middleweight Championship PR Conf @ Club 40/40

Miguel Cotto Vs Daniel Geale For WBC Middleweight Championship PR Conf @ Club 40/40

Cotto, should he get past Geale, will quite likely step to the line against Canelo Alvarez, the 25-in-July-year-old Mexican hitter who breaks hearts in a romantic fashion, ones belonging to adoring admirers, and cracks chins in the squared circle. He’ll need to get past bombs-away banger James Kirkland on May 9, and then if Cotto – who turns 35 in October – takes care of business, the runway is clear. Though this being boxing, until liftoff is achieved, it’s unwise to brag about what will certainly be.

“I am happy and excited to be back in New York and fighting at Barclays Center,” said Cotto. “This is another chapter in my career and I’m committed to train as hard as always and bring a big victory. I’m looking forward to seeing all the Puerto Rican fans on June 6 and to being part of another exciting boxing night in Brooklyn.”
Miguel Cotto’s first fight under the guise of Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports has been set. On June 6, the WBC middleweight champion will face off against former two-time champion Daniel Geale at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. The fight will be televised live on HBO.

Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) is arguably the most popular boxer in the Roc Nation stable, and is the only Puerto Rican to have won a world championship in four different weight classes. He’ll fight in very friendly territory, with the bulk of the boisterous New York fans behind him; Brooklyn has the second largest Puerto Rican population of all the Manhattan boroughs.
