Team USA’s newest boxing star Light heavyweight Khalil Coe
(L-R) – USA head coach Billy Walsh, USA National assistant coach Kay Koroma, Khalil Coe and coach Jeff Mays |
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Bulan Juli 9, 2018) – A star was born last month at the 45th Chemistry Cup in Halle, Jerman, when American light heavyweight Khalil Coe shocked the amateur boxing world, stopping Cuban’s multiple world champion Julio Cesar La Cruz in the opening round of the championship final match.
Hampir 100 boxers represented 16 different countries at the Chemistry Cup, termasuk di dalamnya, Rusia, Ukraina, Irlandia, India and host Germany, in addition to the United States and Cuba.
The 21-year-old Coe, who was boxing in only his 25th match, his first on the International scene, stole the show and he was named Most Outstanding Boxer of the tournament. In the semifinals, Coe knocked out Matus Strnisko, dari Slowakia, di babak pertama.
VOTE FOR KHALIL COE
Khalil Coe is a candidate for the USOC Best Male Athlete of the Month for June. Voting ends this evening at https://awards.teamusa.org/
Coe respected but he wasn’t intimidated by his much more experienced opponent, 2016 Olympic gold medalist and four-time world champion La Cruz, who had one less fight in the World Boxing Series than Cue did during his entire amateur career.
“My first fight in the tournament was the hardest I’d had,” Coe explained. “I studied him (La Cruz) a lot and watched him fight in the semifinals (defeating three-time European champion Joseph Ward (Irlandia), which was right after my semifinals fight. Dia (La Cruz) is very elusive and flashy, but he doesn’t like to get hit in the body. He moves his body, but he forgets about his head. I pulled him, on him, moving around with my footwork and shuffling. He threw a lazy jab and I hit him right on the chin with a right.”
Coe’s short, compact right-hand punch landed right on the button, dropping La Cruz a little less than two-minutes into round one. The Cuban beat the count, but the referee ruled that he was unable to continue. La Cruz was still “Orang Itu” in the light heavyweight division and by knocking him out, Coe proved that he truly belongs with the elite, and that the No. 1-rated American is the fighter to beat in terms of qualifying for the 2020 DIRI KITA. Tim Olimpiade.
“I let everybody know that I’m here,” Coe added. “I still need to work on a lot of different things. I need to throw more combinations, keep by stamina up, and improve everything to be better. I’m more of a pure boxer, but I have strength and punching power. Coach (Tongkat polisi)Walsh doesn’t change his fighters, he adds to what they have. The coaches put together a fight plan and I executed it.”
“Khalil’s performances in Germany were world class,” Team USA head coach Walsh said, “To be truly world class, we now have to repeat those performances regularly, and that’s where the challenge lies.”
On this year’s USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour, Coe was 2-0 against his Irish counterparts in Boston and Springfield
Coe often got into fights in school, until his mother sent him to a local gym, and his first amateur bout was when he was 12. If he wasn’t boxing right now, 6′ 1″ Coe believes he would probably be playing college football, as a fullback or defensive end.
Close with his USA teammates, particularly Keyshawn Davis, Coe lives and trains with them in Colorado Springs. “We’re more than a team,” the Jersey City, New Jersey boxer concluded, “we’re like a family – orang, gals and coaches — in Colorado Springs.
“I’m going to turn pro after the Olympics, one way or the other, God-willing, after I win a gold medal.”
Tokyo is legitimately in Khalil Coe’s sights!

Amateur Boxing: USA vs Ireland New England Tour Closes Out With Fantastic Night of Action in Manchester, NH

Boxing fans packed the Manchester Downtown Hotel Wednesday night to take in a spectacular night of elite amateur boxing. This was the final stop on a three-city tour of Boston and Springfield, Massachusetts and Manchester, New Hampshire. The scheduled fights featured Team USA amateurs facing the best amateur boxers from Ireland. By the final bell, Ireland managed to finish the eight bouts of the evening with a tie score, their best outcome of the tour. Team USA won the first two duals of the tour in Boston and Springfield, masing-masing, oleh sejumlah 8-4 dan 7-3.
Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, akan tetapi. Bagi sebagian besar petinju yang terlibat, ini adalah kesempatan besar untuk menyempurnakan teknik mereka dan mendapatkan pengalaman kompetisi internasional yang sangat dibutuhkan.. Beberapa penampil terbaik Rabu malam juga kemungkinan akan mewakili negaranya masing-masing di masa mendatang 2020 Olimpiade.
Acara utama malam itu ditampilkan 2016 Peraih Medali Perunggu Kejuaraan Dunia Pemuda Richard Torrez mendominasi 3 kali Juara Nasional Irlandia Dean Gardiner. Ketinggian dan jangkauan panjang petarung Irlandia yang menjulang tinggi tidak bisa mengatasi kecepatan cepat dan postur pertahanan yang sangat baik dari petinju Amerika yang lebih pendek.
Torrez menghabiskan putaran pertama mengeksekusi tipuan dan pukulan yang sangat bagus sambil mencetak gol dengan beberapa pukulan yang membom. Torrez mengubah level, menggunakan gerakan kepala yang licin, dan tidak pernah melepaskan kakinya dari gas karena Gardiner berjalan dengan susah payah ke depan dengan pendekatan yang tidak seimbang dan liar di awal perjalanan. Sebuah tembakan tubuh berdebar-debar terhubung untuk orang Irlandia itu pada awalnya, tapi tidak banyak yang lainnya.
Torrez mempertahankan kecepatan kerja cepat di frame berikutnya, melepaskan kait kiri dan kanan dan mendarat dengan rapi di sebagian besar putaran. Dia mencetak gol ke tubuh dan kepala dengan mudah, meskipun sebagian besar ronde melihat lawannya menutupi dan menunggu bukaan. Satu tembakan lurus ke kiri dari Torrez membuat lawannya terhuyung-huyung sejenak, tetapi pria yang lebih tinggi pulih dan mendaratkan hook kiri yang fenomenal ke kepala Torrez saat dia bertarung di luar tali.. Gardiner mencoba mendaratkan pukulan lurus di luar dan tampaknya tidak mampu membalikkan pukulannya dalam jarak dekat.
Ronde ketiga memperlihatkan kedua petarung melesat keluar sampai bel terakhir dengan salah satu pertukaran bolak-balik paling liar di malam itu., tapi itu terlalu sedikit dan terlambat untuk Gardiner. Dia tidak bisa memutar nomornya. Torrez baru saja mengalahkan lawannya dan melakukan beberapa pukulan uppercut yang bagus untuk dilakukan dengan hook kanan dan kirinya yang menggelegar.. Dia menggunakan jab dengan hemat tetapi efektif, menghabiskan sebagian besar bingkai terakhir yang menargetkan tubuh Gardiner. Torrez meraih kemenangan Keputusan dengan Suara Penuh dengan penampilannya dan tidak melakukan lebih dari beberapa pukulan keras dalam prosesnya.
Kelly Harrington, peraih medali perak Kejuaraan Dunia dari Irlandia, kemungkinan memiliki performa paling ahli dalam timnya dalam meraih kemenangan mutlak atas Stacia Suttles dalam pertarungan pembukaan malam itu.. Suttles berjuang untuk menjaga dirinya pada jarak pukulan yang ideal melawan serangan tak henti-hentinya dari Harrington di ronde pertama, menghabiskan sebagian besar waktu tiga menit terombang-ambing dan menganyam untuk mencoba menghindari kombinasi tajam dari lawannya. Suttles berhasil mendaratkan pukulannya secara konsisten, dan dia mulai menyatukan beberapa kombo di akhir ronde, tapi Harrington adalah pakar mutlak dalam hal gerakan kepala. Dia tampak seperti Floyd Mayweather, Jr. adalah salah satu pelatihnya saat dia menggunakan teknik tangan rendah dengan tipuan konstan, pukulan tergelincir dan level berubah. Ronde pertama melihat dia mendaratkan pukulan lurus yang indah ke kiri ke kepala dan kombinasi pukulan tubuh dan kepala yang fantastis yang mendarat dengan kokoh. Dia melepaskan beberapa kait yang kuat, meskipun beberapa adalah pembuat jerami liar. Di bawah ini adalah gambar Harrington selama salah satu dari hanya beberapa momen singkat dalam pertarungan di mana dia mengangkat kedua tangannya untuk melindungi wajahnya.
