Od projekata na posjedovanje krajnji krunu Boks-a


COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Ožujak 12, 2019) – Od projekata za posjedovanje nedvojbeno poštuje individualni naslov u sportu, Jovan “Quietman” Ruiz ostaje samo Latino uhvatiti prestižnu svjetsku teškoj naslov.

Ruiz, 47, je ponosan Puerto-Rice američki boksač koji su odrasli-up u Chelsea, Massachusetts. Dva puta World Boxing Association (WBA) prvak u teškoj kategoriji, poražen USA Boks Alumni udruga eve Kuće slavnih Evander Holyfield u drugom od svojih tri naslova borbe, osigurati po prvi put, svijet teškoj kruna.

Uređena amaterski boksač, Ruiz Dimitrijević 50-5 rekord, sličan svom posljednjem pro rekord 44-9-1 (30 Kos) između 1992-2010, uključujući zlato- medalja nastupi na All-New England prvenstvo, USA Boks nacionalnih prvenstava i Los Angeles Olimpijski festival, koji ga je uzdignut na br. 1 teškoj svjetlo mjesto u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama ocjene.

Ruiz je bio izvanredan sve oko sportaš na Chelsea Visoko, posebno u nogometu, u kojoj je bio All-Star. Počeo je boks u dobi od sedam godina, na kraju razvija svoje vještine u Somerville Boxing Club.

“Boks je bio jedini sport sam shvatio bih imao dobre izglede za uspjeh,” Ruiz (na slici ovdje na krajnje lijevo) objasnio zašto je slijedio boks za razliku od nogometa ili drugi timski sport. “Ostali sportovi ste morali ići na koledž, i nisam imala ocjene.”

Ruiz nije osvrnuo i nema boksač ikada dobio više iz svojih Bogom danim sposobnostima od njega. Nakon osvajanja svoj prvi turnir (PAL u New Jersey), on je postao dio SAD-tima koji je otputovao u Švedsku da se natječu u dual-susret.

“Izvan Portorika (on je živio tamo 6-7 godina u ranoj mladosti),” Ruiz sjetio nježno. “Ja nikada nije putovao izvan SAD-a. SAD boks mi je dao priliku da putuju tamo, Australija, Italija i diljem SAD-a. Čak i više od toga kako me ta iskustva pripremili za pro redovima, to mi je dao okus životnog iskustva, putuju na mjesta nikada ne bih bio u mogućnosti ići na na svoje. Amaterski boks je također dala mi strukturu i povjerenje u sebe kada sam se okrenuo pro. Također sam upoznala toliko različitih ljudi, borci i treneri, iz cijeloga svijeta.”

Pored njegove spomenute pobjede u Los Angelesu Olimpijskom festivalu, koji ga je kvalificiran kao član tima SAD će se natjecati na Svjetskom prvenstvu u Australiji (gotov 6th u svijetu), možda vrhunac njegove amaterske karijere bio pobjede Torsten svibnja, the 1992 dobitnik olimpijskog zlata iz Njemačke, na dual susret u Floridi.

“Moja povezanost s Ivanom seže do 1990. godine,” dodano u Valenti, SAD Boks posebni projekti savjetnik. “Bio sam oduševljen da je lokalni klinac je brušenje svoje vještine u boksački ring. Ivan je napravio nevjerojatan utjecaj na nacionalni Amaterski boks sceni početkom devedesetih; čineći ga sve do Olimpijskih suđenja u Worcester (MA). Nakon što je sudjelovao u ispitivanjima bio extra poseban za mene, jer Ivan je bio tako velik konkurent i dobro dijete. Boks povijest će imati mjesto za John Ruiz, ne mnogo preživio 36 kola s Evander. Biti prvi Latino Svijet prvak u teškoj kategoriji je prilično postignuće za “Quietman”.

Ruiz okrenuo pro kolovoza 20, 1992, osvojivši četiri okrugli jednoglasnu odluku nad Kevin Parker. Tijekom svoje karijere pro, on je pobijedio na vrhu suvremene imena kao što su Holyfield,James Thunder, Jerry Ballard, Fernely Felix, Kirk Johnson, Fres Oquendo, Andrew Golota a Jameel McCline.

Povijest je napravljen ožujka 3, 2013 U Las Vegasu, kada je postao tek drugi borac padati Holyfield na putu za svoju WBA naslov nagrađenog borbi na način da se 12-okrugli jednoglasnom odlukom, zarada mu je trenutak označili kao prvi Latino držati prestižnu svjetsku teškoj naslov pojas.



John Ruiz susreo s predsjednikom George W. Bush u Bijeloj kući nakon što je postao prvi Latino postati svjetski boksački prvak u teškoj kategoriji (Slika ljubaznošću Boston Heralda)

“Jako sam ponosan što smo postigli da,” on je nastavio, “ali moj glavni cilj bio je pružiti za moju obitelj i uvijek sam se nastavio taj cilj. Većina borci ne uspiju, ali na kraju dana, to je ono što me je gurnuo. Ja stvarno ne razmišljam o tome što je jedini latino osvojiti svjetsko teškoj naslov, ali, kad čujem ljudi govore o tome danas, Mislim, wow, Ja sam još uvijek jedini Latino to učiniti.”

Prije nekoliko godina, Ruiz otvorio teretanu (Quietman Sport Gym) Medford, MA, ne previše daleko od mjesta gdje je odrastao u Chelsea i obučeni u Somerville. To je bio registriran član kluba USA boksu jer 2012, ali, što je još važnije, važno je da Ruiz’ način davanja natrag u amaterskom boksu.

“Osjećao sam da je potrebno kako bi se više djece i dati im priliku da se iz kuće i učiniti nešto produktivno i zabava,” Ruiz komentirao. “Oni svi imaju priliku raditi na samopouzdanje, a jedan bi mogao postati svjetski prvak. Osjećam se dužan pomoći djeci jer se sjećam prije nekoliko godina, kada sam bio u istom položaju. Oni trebaju smjernice. Da nisam imao svu potporu nisam odrastao, Ne bih ispalo onako kako sam učinio. Želim pomoći djeci razumjeti kako ostvarenje njihovih ciljeva.”

CLARESSA SHIELDS INDUCTED INTO USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME

Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Shields
USA Boxing is family!”
SAD Boks Alumni Association, Razred 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Prosinac 3, 2018) – Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields not only is spearheading a new wave in women’s boxing, she has developed into a true role model for countless youths.

 

 

 

Shields will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame this Friday night in Salt Lake City, along with Class of 2018 članovi Roy Jones Jr.. a, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewarta Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Prosinac 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

I feel honored,” Shields spoke about being inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” I am only 23 years old and to be inducted into the USA Boxing Hall of Fame is a great honor, but also a shock to me. I believe I am worthy of any honor, but I know things take time, and I always thought I would put in the Hall of Fame at the age 40 ili 50. This is a big deal to me and I feel so honored. Just to have my name mentioned alongside names of greats like Andre Ward and Roy Jones just really motivates me. I feel privileged!”

 

 

 

The pride of Flint, Michigan, Shields has already successfully parlayed her amateur success to the professional ranks, in which she is 7-0 (2), and the reigning unified (IBF, WBA & WBC) svjetski prvak u srednjoj.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 Kos) rekord, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 a 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, kada Savannah Marshall (Engleska) won on points, 14-8, at the World Championships in China.

 

 

 

USA Boxing came into my life as a two-time Junior Olympic champion,” Claressa explained her USA Boxing relationship. “The help from USA Boxing was so important: just noticing me as a young athlete and knowing I would be a strong young woman to represent the USA in the future; sastanak Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, trener Al Mitchell, and coach Gloria Peek teach me different styles and how to use all my attributes. USA Boxing blessed me with a lot of knowledge and life-long friendships with all my Olympic teammates and Olympic coaches. My favorite coach, Koroma, literally was with me the whole way through 2015-2016, helping me outside the ring with advice and inside the ring.

 

 

 

Shields is one of the driving forces in women’s boxing today, carrying the torch handed off by American female boxing pioneers such as Christy Martin, Laila Ali and a few others.

 

 

 

There is great change going on right now — mene, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon Crews, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and a few other women are carrying the torch for women’s boxing right now,” Shields explained. “Progress has been fast, every network has had a women’s fight on television this year, especially Showtime, on which I have boxed the main event four times. Women’s boxing can go far. I believe the day will come when we can be paid millions just like men.

 

 

 

By opening doors and breaking down obstacles, Claressa has become a true role model for youngsters all over, u boksu i van njega.

 

 

 

It feels good to be a role model for them (females), and also for so many male boxers,” Shields noted. “Boxing is in a different era and I just want to make it easier for girls coming up, so when they turn pro, boxing will be closer to equality.

 

 

 

Claressa has one of the greatest stories in the history of amateur boxing,” rekla Chris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “Her drive, commitment, talent, and character made her a USA Boxing and Olympic champion, leaving a legacy that will last for a very long time. She is a trailblazer for women’s boxing and has established her place as one of the most influential USA Boxing Alumni members of all time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank her for inspiring the amateur boxing community and serving as a great role model for the next generation of champions.

Despite all the honors and accolades, she has so richly received, Shields hasn’t forgotten where it all started, and she’s still actively involved in USA Boxing.

 

 

 

I keep in contact with a lot of the female athletes and give them advice if they ask me,” Claressa added. “I also went to Colorado for five days to be a motivator and keynote speaker for the Next Olympic Hopeful. After my career is over in about 15 godina, I want to be a boxing trainer and lead the women’s team to more Olympic gold medals, if given the opportunity. I also want to be a school teacher and a counselor for youth.

 

 

 

Štitovi, nažalost, is unable to attend this Friday night’s Hall of Fame reception because she’s in deep training for her titles defense this Saturday evening on HBO, live from the StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornija, protiv Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Nažalost,” Shields concluded, “I can’t be there but, if I was there, I would say: Thank you to USA Boxing for believing in me at the age of 16. It was an honor to represent America, not only once but two times in the Olympics! I thank Coach Štap (Walsh) for making me dig deep, by having to deal with his Irish ways and jokes, also for changing the culture of USA Boxing. A special thank you to coach Kay, also, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 prije podne, how many times I knocked on his room door and ran, how many times he has had to take my phone from me because I was crying or having a family problem. He is the coach I could tell everything to, and he also blessed me with his boxing knowledge and made me always feel secure in myself when he was in the corner. USA Boxing isn’t just staffUSA Boxing is family! Even though I’ve had a few words with Matthew Johnson and other staff, I thank them for being hard on me and making sure I handled my responsibilities. Love to all USA Boxing staff, I’m truly thankful.

 

 

 

Claressa Shields is much more than world and Olympian champion, she’s a class act as well, exactly what’s so desperately needed today.

The GOAT boxing trainer….. Emanuel Steward

SAD Boks Alumni Association, Razred 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – The great Tommy Hearns & the late Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Studeni 19, 2018) – The late Emanuel Steward, arguably the greatest boxing trainer of all-time, is a member of the Class of 2018 getting inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Prosinac 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) in Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward was a boxer, trainer extraordinaire, and HBO commentator until his untimely death in 2012 u dobi od 68. His boxing career culminated with his induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1996.

 

 

 

U dobi od 12, Manny moved with his mother from West Virginia to Detroit, where his life soon turned to boxing. Kao amaterski boksač, he compiled a 94-3 rekord, istaknuo je nastup zlatne medalje na 1963 National Golden Gloves Tournament as a bantamweight, but he decided against trying out for the US Olympic Boxing Team.

 

 

 

U 1971, Steward became a part-time trainer at Kronk Gym, where he eventually guided many of the country’s top amateur boxers. Kronk Gym later became a property of Steward’s and he developed it into one of the most successful and famous boxing gyms in the world.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward also served as National Director of Coaching for USA Boxing in the early 2000’s.

 

 

 

Throughout his incredible career, Steward reportedly trained 41 svjetski prvaci, možda, the most noteworthy were Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis a Wladimir Klitschko. He also trained Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, a Mike McCallum. Manny also trained a young Detroit rapper, Eminem, how to box at Kronk Gym.

 

 

 

The last world champion Manny trained was Adonis “Nadčovjek” Stevenson, who remains the reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) World light heavyweight champion since 2013.

 

 

 

Emanuel would always say, miševa prodaju!” Stevenson fondly remembered. “He was also the first to tell me, ‘You will be a superstar and a world champion. Just make sure you don’t listen to people with bad intentions because you’ve got natural talent.He believed in me even if some people did not think I would ever become a world champion.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward impacted the lives of so many who walked through the doors of Kronk Gym,” rekla Chris tofflemire, SAD Boks Alumni udruga izvršni direktor. “While he’s most recognized for his achievement at the professional level, his impact was significant in the amateurs. Manny serves as a model coach for USA Boxing today, and his impact will be felt for a long time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association overwhelmingly supports his induction and looks forward to honoring him as part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.

For years he would come to my National Silver Gloves Tournament that I sponsored and put on in Kansa City just to show his support of the youth program,” added USA Boxing president Jovan Braon dodano. “Every year I would tell him to let me know if he was coming, so I could VIP him, and every year he would ignore me and just quietly show up. I would notice him in the crowd. I would ball him out and then we did the same thing the following year.

 

 

 

I also used to see him at big fights and he would always make me feel special by saying my company saved boxing in the seventies and eighties by providing safe, well-made, fair priced boxing equipment for the sport. No one else ever gave me that recognition. He was humble and not a blowhard, my kind of guy.

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward left his mark on earth, not only as a multi-faceted personality in boxing, but he’s also remembered for his magnanimous charity work in Detroit, in which he helped youths in their pursuit of education.

 

 

 

Ukratko, iako, he taught boxing, and nobody has ever done it any better.

When I was a young coach at the Air Force Academy,” USA Boxing coach Ed Weichers komentirao, “we needed to replace an AIBA top notch referee who was retiring. We were looking for a highly qualified person and Tom Cleary was recommended. He came out the next 25 years straight. Tom was one of the best referees. He cared so much about the safety of the boxers and Tom was also a valuable mentor.

 

 

 

Tom was a wonderful man who everybody loved. He administered referee clinics in the United States and always helped those in need, youngsters and adults. Tom’s work in the Cincinnati area influenced so many boxers and coaches for more than 25 godina. We dearly miss him.

Houston featherweight Roma Martinez represents next wave of USA female boxers

PRIOPĆENJE
Za Immediate Release
Out to make statement at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Listopada. 6-18 U Argentini

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Listopad 8, 2018)Houston featherweight Roma Martinez, who represents the next wave of USA female boxers, is currently In Argentina to make a statement at the ongoing Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018.

 

 

The Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 continues through Oct. 18 at Parque Polidesportivo Roca in Argentina.

 

 

 

The 18-year-old Martinez started boxing six years ago, when her step-father came into her life, taking her to a local boxing gym to help keep her out of potential trouble, as well to defend herself.

 

 

 

She is an online student at the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, planning to major in business, and Roma has been able to balance her busy schedule for a simple reason. “I don’t have much of a social life,” she admitted, “so it’s easy for me to train and study.

 

 

Argentina is the second foreign country she’s traveled to having competed last November in India. Although she has a relatively limited amateur career, Martinez has managed to capture top honors at six national events: 2016 Američki boksački državljani, 2014 & 2015 Batte lf the Universe, 20-15 Women’s Golden Glove, 2-15 Junior Olympics Nationals, a 2014 Brown Gloves.

 

 

 

Like many of her Team USA teammates, in addition to opponents from all over the world, Roma hopes she can parlay an impressive performance in Buenos Aires to improve her chances to eventually qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

 

 

 

The Youth Olympics is the biggest thing in my career because I hope to compete in the 2020 Olimpijske igre,” Martinez said. “The Youth Olympics is almost as big as the Olympics, only younger athletes compete. I take things one day at a time, but I do have goals to make the Olympics, win a gold medal, and then turn pro and win a world title.

 

 

This is my last youth competition. This December I will move up to Elite Division. There will be a difference in age (of her opponents) and more international competition, but I need that experience to reach my goals.

 

 

 

Roma, she says, is a technical boxer who occasionally brings pressure. Her favorite boxer is the great “Šećer” Ray Leonard and she looks up to Nicola Adams (2012 & 2016 Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain) a Mikaela Mayer (2016 USA Olympian). Roma has taken advantage of sparring sessions with Adams and Mayer, odnosno, in Houston and Colorado Springs.

 

 

 

Martinez believes female boxing is on the upswing and she looks forward to its future. “The more top female boxers will mean bigger things for us,” Martinez added, “We’ll get more TV time and make more money.

 

 

 

Roma credits USA Boxing for her learning how to be disciplined and she’s grateful for the outstanding coaching she’s received. Martinez plans to travel a lot in the future and when she earns her business degree, Roma is determined to use it to her advantage, owning a restaurant and, possibly, a gym so that she can remain in boxing after she hangs up her gloves way down the road.
