                      TRIBUTE TO MARTY JAKUBOWSKI

                                 ______


                        HON. PETER J. VISCLOSKY

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 20, 1994

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call your attention to 
Mr. Marty Jakubowski, a resident of Whiting, IN, in Indiana's First 
Congressional District.
  On July 1, 1994, in Philadelphia's new convention center, Marty 
culminated his long quest for a title bout, earning the United States 
Boxing Association [USBA] lightweight championship title. Prior to the 
championship match against Philadelphia native Anthony Boyle, Marty had 
posted a most impressive record of 73-1, with 18 knockouts. This 
impeccable record illustrates Marty's special talents as a top-ranked 
lightweight boxer. Marty's determination and stamina proved to be the 
dominating force on July 1 as he recorded his 74th victory in a 12-
round unanimous decision. As a result, Marty won the prestigious title 
of USBA Lightweight Boxing Champion.
  Mr. Speaker, I wish to once again acknowledge this spectacular 
accomplishment that most boxers can only dream of completing in their 
career. Marty has chased this ultimate dream and made it a reality by 
triumphing in the USBA lightweight title bout. Marty has brought pride 
to northwest Indiana in his endeavors in the boxing world, and I wish 
him the best of luck as he continues his journey toward a world title.
