Sharahya-Taina Moreu to make USA Boxing Women’s Elite debut at home in Albuquerque

Laat een reactie achter
2018 Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships
Zee. 6-10 at Albuquerque Convention Center

COLORADO SPRINGS, Ronde. (Maart 1, 2018) – High school senior Sharahya-taina moreu, one of the top youth amateur boxers in the world, will make her USA Boxing in the Women’s Elite Division at home in Albuquerque, Maart 6-10, bij de 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships.

The 18-year-old Moreu, who plans to attend community college next year, is een 2016 USA Boxing Nationale Kampioen, in addition to a four-time Native American and 2014 Gene Lewis champion. She was a silver medalist at the 2015 Junior/Youth Open and 2014/2015 Junior Olympic championships.

Boksen, her father/coach, Yoruba Moreu, wijlen Johnny Tapia helped her overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s death in an automobile accident, forging a new path for her as a role model and 2020 Olympic hopeful. “I was only eight when my mother died,” Moreu remembered. “I was laying on her when the car-rolled and she was thrown through the back window. I was the first out of the card and on the freeway asking for help.

“I’m a better person because of that accident, hoewel. Als eerste, I was regretful and angry, getting in fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing, nam woedebeheersing, and became motivated. I didn’t realize that I’d become a role model until girls started asking me for advice. They do look up to me and some of them I now coach.”
Moreu started boxing at the age of 12 and Tapia, de vijf-time, drie divisie wereldkampioen, naast de 1983 en 1985 Nationale Golden Gloves kampioen, had a tremendous impact on Sharahya-Taina that will remain in her heart and soul for life.
“We became like family,” Moreu said. “Als eerste, he didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me real hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Ik denk, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person, in en uit de ring. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Style-wijs, Sharahya-Taina preys on her opponents’ mistakes, adjusting in the ring the same as, ze zegt, “Just like in life.” At 5′ 10″, Moreu has a distinct height and reach advantage over most of her middleweight opponents, using those attributes, her speed and stiff jab to relentlessly pile up points.

She strongly believes that, because of Claressa Shields‘ gold-medal performances in the 2012 en 2016 Olympische Spelen, the doors are open wider for women in boxing. “I saw an American woman do what Clarissa did and become a dominant force in boxing,” Moreu remarked. “(2016 U.S. Olympian and three-time USA Boxing National Champion)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KOs as a pro) has helped a lot, ook. She signed with a good promoter (Top Rank). Boxing is slowly getting better for woman, maybe not equal to men, but there are more girls boxing today than ever before and that’s a good sign.”

Fighting at home in the Western Qualifier has a special meaning for Moreu. “I thought fighting in Albuquerque would be a lot of pressure,” ze toegelaten, “but there’s not much pressure on me because of all the support I’m receiving. It’s easy here. Albuquerque isn’t like a big city but it’s becoming a fight town.

“I like to travel and meet different people. Vorig jaar, I represented to United States in India at the Youth Championships, and I saw another part of the world, how people trained and had different life styles. I’m turning 19 in mei, so this is my first-time boxing in an Elite tournament, and it’s great doing it in my hometown.

Moreu also credits her father for a large amount of her success in the ring and life. “He’s been a single parent, but he’s always been there doing his best for me as a father and coach,” Sharahya-Taina noted. “Most people don’t know that he’s Puerto Rican, my mother a Native American (Pueblo).”

Like most young, elite athletes, Sharahya-Taina has a dream. “2020 in the Olympics,” concludeerde ze. “I want to establish myself as an amateur and eventually go pro and have a good career.”

Undefeated Christian Carto ready for tough challenge from James Smith THIS FRIDAY NIGHT at The SugarHouse Casino

David Gonzales battles Victor Vazquez
Persconferentie Woensdag at The SugarHouse Event Center at 6 PM
Weigh-in Donderdag bij 5 PM
Philadelphia, Penn. (Februari 27, 2018)–Ongeslagen bantamgewicht vooruitzicht Christian Carto (13-0, 11 KO) has been buckling down in training camp for his showdown with once-beaten James Gordon Smith (12-1, 7 KO) in the headline fight of a seven bout card that will take place deze vrijdag nacht bij Het SugarHouse Casino.
De show wordt bevorderd door King's Promotions.
Carto, 21 years-old of Philadelphia has been training in his hometown, where he has built up one-of, if not the biggest fan base in the city.
“Camp has been good. I have done a lot of sparring with different sparring partners,” said Carto.
In Smith, Carto is in with arguably his toughest opponent, whose lone blemish came on ShoBox to hard-hitting Joshua Greer.
“Smith seems to be a good a fighter. I watched a couple of his fights, and even in the fight he lost, he fought well until he got caught.”
Carto stopped his 1st eleven opponents, but had to go the full distance of eight-rounds in his last two outings. Carto was not disappointed that his knockout streak ended.
“It would have been nice to have kept that streak going, but I am not upset. I actually thought in my last fight against Luis Saavedra that I was close to getting him out of there but he did a good job in hanging in there and going the distance. It was a good experience to go eight-rounds. I spar 10-12 rondes, so I knew I could go eight rounds.”
Dit wordt Carto's zevende optreden in The SugarHouse Casino, and the venue has taken a liking to Carto to the point where a 40-foot billboard was erected over I-95, and millions of motorists can see Carto each day.
“I want to thank Wendy Hamilton of the SugarHouse. It was good to see the billboard and see myself presented like that. It’s very exciting to be able to see that. That is something I never thought I would see.”
“I just want all of my fans to come out op vrijdag nacht. It is going to be a good fight, and I look forward to seeing every body there.”
In de acht-ronde co-functie, it will be a battle of Philadelphia based super middleweights as Christopher Brooker (12-5, 5 KO) veldslagen Jamaal Davis (16-12-1, 7 KO)
In an eight-round super lightweight bout, Tyrone Crawley (7-0) van Philadelphia zal op te nemen Anthony Mercado (10-3, 9 KO) van Arecibo, PR.
Also in an eight-round bout, David Gonzales (8-2-2, 2 KO) van Philadelphia gevechten Victor Vazquez (9-3, 3 KO) of Younkers, NY in a super lightweight bout.
Dominique Mayfield van Philadelphia zal zijn pro debuut maken tegen Ronny Hale (3-11, 3 KO) Austin, TX in a heavyweight bout.
Rasheed Johnson (3-1, 1 KO) zal op zich te nemen Vincent Floyd (3-4-1, 2 KO) in a four-round bout featuring Philadelphia welterweights.

Luis Ortiz wil geschiedenis schrijven in zwaargewicht door eerste latino of Spaanse zwaargewicht wereldkampioen te worden die buiten de VS is geboren.

Unbeaten Cuban Faces WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder Zaterdag, Maart 3 live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center in Brooklyn & Georganiseerd door Premier Boxing Champions
BROOKLYN (Februari 26, 2018) – When unbeaten heavyweight Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz faces WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder Zaterdag, Maart 3 live op Showtime van Barclays Center, het huis van BROOKLYN BOKSEN ™, he will be looking to make history not just for Cuban boxing, but for all Hispanic or Latino fighters.
Ortiz has a chance to become the first Latino or Hispanic heavyweight world champion born outside of the U.S. and just the second heavyweight of Latino or Hispanic descent to capture the heavyweight world title. The first was Massachusetts’ John Ruiz, whose parents were Puerto Rican and who defeated Evander Holyfield for the WBA Heavyweight World Championship in March 2001.
“This fight is not only important for my family, but for Cuban boxing history,” Said Ortiz. “My only focus right now is on the strategy I will need to defeat Wilder, but I know this fight has a lot of significance. I’m going to make history for myself and my country when I knock out Wilder on Maart 3.”
Cuba has had three previous fighters vie for the heavyweight title, with Jorge Luis Gonzalez losing to Riddick Bowe in 1995 and Vitali Klitschko defeating both Juan Carlos Gomez in 2009 Odlanier Solis in 2011. Ortiz hopes to stake his claim to the upper echelon of Cuban heavyweight lore along with heavyweight Teofilo Stevenson, who won three Olympic gold medals and is considered the greatest Cuban fighter of all time, despite never fighting professionally.
The strong boxing tradition of Cuba has continued to this day, with Ortiz looking to become the 18th world titlist from the country. Prominent active Cuban fighters include WBA 154-pound champion Erislandy Lara, who fights Jarrett Hurd in a unification showdown April 7 op Showtime, and two-division world champion Rances Barthelemy, who looks to become the first three-division champion in Cuban history Maart 10 op Showtime.
The history of Hispanic fighters vying for the heavyweight title dates back to the legendary matchup in 1923 between Jack Dempsey and Argentina’s Luis Firpo. Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier and Larry Holmes all defended against Hispanic challengers while Deontay Wilder has beaten three Mexican-American opponents in Chris Arreola, Gerald Washington and Eric Molina.
The fourth heavyweight title fight in Barclays Center history will give Ortiz a chance to make his name not only as a world champion, but a barrier-breaker for Hispanic heavyweights.
Tickets voor de live-evenement, die wordt bevorderd door DiBella Entertainment en TGB Promotions, beginnen $50 en zijn nu te koop. Om kaartjes te kopen, visit Ticketmaster.com, BarclaysCenter.com, of bel 800-745-3000. Tickets for the event can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center.

Stoppage Overwinning Martinez zet Khan op koers voor een nieuwe titelopname

Laat een reactie achter

 

Rapport: Gianluca Di Caro - Foto's met dank aan Joe Ibbotson.

 

Het was tot nu toe misschien wel het koudste weekend van het jaar in het VK, maar de ijskoude omstandigheden op zaterdag 's Nachts weerhield de fans er niet van om de lokale held Tasif Khan te steunen toen hij geconfronteerd werd met de Mexicaanse kampioen en voormalig WBC-wereldtitel Challenger Juan Lopez Martinez op de Bridie Murtagh (Saorise-promoties) gepromoot Dinner Event in de Royal Taj (voorheen de Connaught Rooms) in Bradford.

 

Het belang van het gevecht ging duidelijk niet verloren bij een van Khan's fans, hun man heeft misschien al World Boxing Union beveiligd (WBU), Global Boxing Union (GBU) en World Boxing Confederation (WBC) Wereldkampioenschappen de afgelopen jaren, maar een overwinning op zaterdag zou dat Khan betekenen, die al hoog aangeschreven staat bij de International Boxing Federation (IBF) in hun Intercontinental Ratings, zou in aanmerking komen om een ​​uitdaging aan te gaan voor het prestigieuze IBF Intercontinental Championship in de zomer als eerste stap om een ​​potentiële toekomstige uitdaging aan te gaan voor de felbegeerde IBF World Crown.

 

Voorafgaand aan het eerste gevecht van de nacht, Ceremoniemeester Sam Gorman gaf een ontroerende lofrede aan de Britten & Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) Vice-President (Schotland) Kenny Barr, die op tragische wijze in december op de leeftijd van net is overleden 34, die werd gevolgd door een permanent eerbetoon aan Ten Bell.

 

Oké, laten we nu naar het hoofdevenement gaan, een tien-ronde niet-kampioenschappen Super Flyweight wedstrijd tussen de eerder genoemde Tasif Khan en Juan Lopez Martinez.

 

De sfeer was elektrisch toen de protagonisten hun weg naar de ring vonden met de entourages ter ondersteuning van het zwaaien met hun respectieve landenvlaggen en in Khan's geval ook met zijn vele kampioenschapsgordels. Na de pre-fight razzmatazz en introducties was het zaak voor de jonge Gladiatoren.

 

Vanaf de openingsbel begonnen beide mannen voorzichtig te strijden om de middenring, Khan gebruikte zijn superieure bereik om effectieve controle te nemen en zijn meer ervaren tegenstander op de achterste voet te duwen.

 

Ongeveer halverwege de ronde begon Khan het tempo op te voeren, wat grote schoten op zowel lichaam als hoofd, elke keer stond Martinez zijn mannetje en reageerde goed.

 

In de tweede was het min of meer hetzelfde, waarbij Khan het initiatief nam en actief aanviel, terwijl Martinez tevreden bleef om te counteren toen de gelegenheid zich voordeed.

 

In de derde ronde gaat Khan het tempo verder opvoeren, met behulp van superieure handsnelheid en gladde bewegingen om een ​​aantal sensationele opnamen te maken, het meest opvallende was een enorm recht op de kin, laat in de ronde. Martinez was duidelijk geschokt, maar hij dacht nog steeds duidelijk genoeg om zijn tactiek te veranderen en de Bradford-man aan de binnenkant vast te binden om te voorkomen dat er nog meer grote schoten zouden landen.

 

Aanvankelijk nam Martinez het gevecht op zich in de vierde, daarbij belandde een sensationele haak op het hoofd van Khan. Maar deze tactiek speelde zojuist in Khan's handen en de Bradford-man kwam elke keer met een aantal sensationele combinaties terug toen de Mexicaan een aanval uitvoerde.

 

Naarmate de ronde vorderde in de tweede minuut, Khan ving Martinez met een ander groot schot dat de Mexicaan terug naar de touwen stuurde, Khan stapte in en liet scheuren met een dubbelhandige vlaag die culmineerde met een grote linkse hoek op het lichaam, die Martinez naar het canvas stuurde. Martinez telde en haalde het einde van de ronde door Khan weer aan de binnenkant vast te binden.

 

In ronde vijf ziet Martinez meer gebruik maken van de koppelverkoop Khan aan de binnenkantstactiek, en zag er soms overklassiek uit. Khan's superieure ring-craft kwam echt in het spel toen de ronde de laatste minuut inging, de zelfverzekerde persona die Martinez in de vroege ronden droeg, was nu verdwenen, Martinez begon Khan's sprankelende tempo te vertragen tot een kruip, voortdurend grijpend elke keer dat Khan een aanval uitvoerde, voordat u bij elke gelegenheid met uppercuts laat scheuren, tot grote ongenoegen van Khan's hoek, die tegen hun man schreeuwden om zijn prik af te werken en hem op afstand te houden.

 

In de zesde ronde begint Khan vol vertrouwen Martinez verder te dragen met snelle dubbelhandige vlagen en krachtige combinaties voor zowel lichaam als hoofd. Op ongeveer de helft van de ronde brak Khan los van een andere poging tot vasthouden van Martinez en vuurde een paar stijve prikken af, voordat je instapt met een enorme haak aan het lichaam. Martinez zakte meteen in elkaar op het doek en was duidelijk radeloos, de stoere Mexicaan deed echter zijn best om overeind te komen voordat de telling van scheidsrechter James Ancliff zijn conclusie bereikte, zij het zonder succes.

 

De officiële tijd voor de onderbreking 1 minuut en 32 seconden van de zesde ronde.

 

Voorafgaand aan de kop van Khan-Martinez was een Super Roundweight-wedstrijd van zes rondes tussen Bardley, De ongeslagen Nathan Decastro van Lincolnshire en de zeer late vervanger Malcolm Richardson uit Blackpool.

 

Oorspronkelijk zou IBF Ranked Decastro het opnemen tegen de Ghanese Philip Kotey, die in het VK was aangekomen maar ziek werd op vrijdag nacht. Meer teleurstelling voor Decastro, want een overwinning op Kotey zou hem later in het jaar ook hebben gepositioneerd voor een mogelijke kans op een IBF-titel.

 

Vanaf het begin was het duidelijk dat Decastro van plan was een verklaring af te leggen, de Bardley-man die de ring sluit en laat scheuren met power punch na power punch. Richardson is gemaakt van strenge spullen en hield stand en reageerde met goed gevolg. Maar naarmate de ronde vorderde naar de tweede minuut, Decastro schakelde over op het lichaam, het landen van een enorme body shot die Richardson naar beneden stuurde.

 

Richardson telde, in feite volgde de knockdown op de voorste voet en landde zelf een paar goede schoten, maar Decastro's meedogenloze power shots wonnen de Blackpool-man en met ongeveer 40 seconden van de ronde te gaan Decastro ving hem met een enorme body shot om hem voor de tweede keer naar het canvas te sturen, deze keer kwam Richardson echter niet overeind voordat de telling van scheidsrechter James Ancliff de conclusie bereikte.

 

De officiële tijd van de onderbreking was 2 Minuten en 30 seconden van de eerste ronde.

 

Voorafgaand aan Decastro-Richardson was het tijd voor een zwaargewichtwedstrijd tussen Askam-in-Furness, Lee Kellett en Belfast van Cumbria, Ryan Kilpatrick uit Noord-Ierland.

 

Wat een geweldig gevecht, beide jongens gaven daar alles voor de volledige vier ronden, tot grote waardering van de aanwezigen.

 

Na vier zeer vermakelijke actierondes was het Lee Kellett die scoorde scheidsrechter James Ancliff besloot dat de winnaar was door een 40-36 punten marge.

 

De volgende was een Super Lightweight-wedstrijd van vier rondes tussen de Jak Johnson van Newcastle en de Paul Peers van Liverpool.

 

Wat een gevecht, het was een echte Battle Royale, deze twee krijgers gaven geen kwartje, en het was een serieus topgevecht. De eerste paar rondes waren vermoeiend om naar te kijken, pure teen-2-teen actie van begin tot eind, zozeer zelfs dat deze wedstrijd terecht de onderscheiding van de Fight of the Night verdiende.

 

De derde ziet Peers echter in opkomst, de Liverpool-man die het tempo opdreef en zijn focus met groot effect verlegde naar het lichaam van de Geordie, zo erg zelfs dat Peers Johnson halverwege het punt naar het canvas stuurde met een perfect schot op de onderste rib.

 

Johnson kwam overeind, maar in de laatste seconden van de ronde vond Peers een weg door de uitstekende verdediging van Johnson om nog een schot op de onderste rib te landen om Johnson voor een tweede keer naar beneden te sturen, deze keer kon Johnson niet overeind komen om de telling van scheidsrechter James Ancliff te verslaan.

 

De officiële tijd van de onderbreking was 2 minuten en 59 seconden van de derde ronde.

 

De openingswedstrijd van de avond brengt Nathan Beattie uit Aberdeen in actie tegen Marty Kayes, de vervanger van Belfast.

 

Beattie-Kayes was het droomgevecht van een purist, het was een zwaar bevochten en zeer technische wedstrijd, wat voor de kenners geen verrassing zou zijn, zoals deze twee eerder met elkaar hadden gevochten.

 

Na vier zwaar bevochten rondes scoorde de scorekaart van scheidsrechter James Ancliff 40-37 ten gunste van Nathan Beattie.

 

Er zouden nog twee wedstrijden op de kaart plaatsvinden – Obadai Sai vs Isaac Quartey en Patrick Okine vs Saidi Mundi, deze wedstrijden vonden echter niet plaats omdat alleen Quartey en Okine hun visum op tijd hadden ontvangen om de reis naar het VK te maken.

He is best known for his epic trilogy with the late Arturo Gatti, in which he became the first fighter with double-digit losses to earn a $1-million purse (tweemaal).
An all-action, crowed-pleasing fighter, Ward was involved in three Fight of the Year honors, the first and third of the Gatti trilogy, along with a memorable match with Emanuel Augustus. Ward was the winner in two (first Gatti and Augustus) of those classic fights.
Boston-native Mark Wahlberg portrayed Ward in, The Fighter, a movie about Micky’s life that won two Academy Awards.
“To be honorary captain of Team USA means a lot to me,” Ward said. “It’s great having elite amateur boxing back in Boston with the national teams from the United States and Ireland. It’s especially exciting for me as an Irish-American.”
The 44-year-old McBride was born in Clones, Ierland. Hij was een lid van de 1992 Ireland Olympic Boxing Team at the age of 19, competing in the Olympic Games in Barcelona, Spanje. Two years earlier, he represented Ireland at the European Championships and one of his teammates was Billy Walsh, Team USA’s current head coach of Team USA and former chief trainer for Team Ireland.
Like other Irish boxers, McBride came to the United States to enhance his professional career, landing in the predominately Irish neighborhood of Dorchester, a working-class section Boston, terug in 1999. De 6′ 6″, 285-pound McBride started training in Brockton, MA with Goody Petronelli, who had trained Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and later Packy Collins, the brother of another Petronelli-trained fighter, wereldkampioen Stevie Collins.
McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, met pensioen gaan met een 35-10-1 (29 KO), highlighted by his shocking sixth-round knockout of Tyson in 2005, driving the “Baddest Man on the Planet” into ring retirement.
“I feel good about being honorary captain of Team Ireland,” remarked the still thickly Irish-brogue McBride, who still lives with his family in Dorchester. “I’m honored to be carrying the Irish flag for these fighters. I’m not sure how many of them remember me as the man who beat Tyson. I know some of the Irish coaches and I still support boxing in Ireland as well as America. I just love boxing. And it’s always a pleasure to be with my friend, Micky Ward. He’s a good lad.”

SugarHill Steward and Russian Heavyweight Apti Davtaev Inventing Their Own Language Along Way to Heavyweight Glory

Laat een reactie achter

When it comes to working in the gym, undefeated Russian heavyweight prospect Apti Davtaev (14-0-1, 13 KO) and his US trainer, Kronk Gym’s Javan SugarHill Steward, have their own way of communicating.

“We play a form of charades a lot. I physically put him in position sometimes and show him the openings,” said Steward. “It’s a challenge for me, which makes me love it more, to teach him without talking.”
The pair are currently hard at work for the big Russian’s (from the Chechen Republic of Kurchaloi) ring return, scheduled for April.
“He wants to learn so badly that he’s a sponge,” continued Steward. “Russians don’t have the same level of training as they do in the US. This is a dream come true for him. Bringing a Russian fighter over here to train is much different than a US fighter coming to my gym. They’re already Americanized. These guys are hungry. They have very little else going on in their lives. He’s a married Muslim and all he cares about is his religion and his family. There’s no Facebook or Twitter in his world. All he wants is to be world champion.”
Steward says that Davtaev comes with a high level of skill and their training focuses more on the finer points.
“He’s a big powerful heavyweight. Good basics and he learns fast. He can read opponents and makes adjustments very easily. I’m working with him how to set up more shots. He’s big and he needs to use his jab and his big right hand to put himself in position to stay in control. We’re working on using more ring generalship. When you’re big like that, you can’t let someone crowd you.”
28-year-old Davtaev, co-promoted by Salita Promotions and KA Promotions, says he’s enjoying his working relationship with Steward.
“From the first days of our acquaintance, we immediately found a common language. He gives me a lot of attention and has taught me a lot in a very caring way. That’s why I’m very grateful to him.”
Davtaev agrees he’s not in the US for the fun. Hard work and dedication to his mission are the only things on his mind.
“A professional athlete should be focused only on one thing,” he explains, “the achievement of success. It is always necessary to approach your goals with full responsibility to the training process and the fight itself. Zeker, I miss the motherland and my family, but knowing why I’m here and getting support from relatives and friends, helps me endure much easier.”
Always a haven for world-class fighters, Davtaev currently has a quality training and sparring partner to work with at Detroit’s Kronk Gym. Former heavyweight champion Charles Martin is training at Kronk as well.
“These are 6’5 250-lb guys and their skill levels are very even,” said Steward. “They are learning from each other.”
This is Steward’s fifth Russian fighter he’s worked with and Steward says he’s enjoying himself very much.
“He’s trying to learn English, but he we communicate just fine. We have a good time. Learning has to be fun, so he has a good time and I enjoy teaching him. He learns fast, even though he doesn’t know English.”
