(L-R) – Hlavný tréner USA Billy Walsh, Národný asistent trénera USA Kay Koroma, Khalil Coe a tréner Jeff Mays |
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Júl 9, 2018) – Hviezda sa narodila minulý mesiac na internete 45th Chemistry Cup v Halle, Nemecko, keď americký ľahký heavyweight Khalil Coe šokoval svet amatérskeho boxu, zastavenie kubánskeho viacnásobného majstra sveta Julio Cesar La Cruz v úvodnom kole finálového zápasu majstrovstiev.
Takmer 100 zastúpení boxeri 16 rôznych krajinách na chemickom pohári, počítajúc v to, Rusko, Ukrajina, Írsko, India a hostiteľské Nemecko, okrem USA a Kuby.
21-ročný Coe, ktorý boxoval iba ten svoj 25th zápas, jeho prvý na medzinárodnej scéne, ukradol šou a bol vyhlásený za najvýznamnejšieho boxera turnaja. V semifinále, Coe vypadol Matúš Strnisko, Slovenska, v prvom kole.

Coe to rešpektoval, ale jeho oveľa skúsenejší súper sa nezľakol, 2016 Zlatá olympijská medailistka a štvornásobná majsterka sveta La Cruz, ktorý vo svetovej boxerskej sérii bojoval o jeden zápas menej ako Cue počas celej svojej amatérskej kariéry.
“Môj prvý boj na turnaji bol najťažší, aký som mal,” Coe vysvetlil. “Študoval som ho (Kríž) veľa a sledovali, ako bojuje v semifinále (poraziť trojnásobného majstra Európy Joseph Ward (Írsko), čo bolo hneď po mojom semifinálovom boji. On (Kríž) je veľmi nepolapiteľný a krikľavý, ale nerád sa udrie do tela. Hýbe telom, ale zabudne na hlavu. Potiahol som ho, na neho, pohybujúci sa okolo s mojou nohou a miešaním. Hodil lenivým úderom a ja som ho pravačkou trafil priamo do brady.”
Coe je krátky, kompaktný pravý úder dopadol priamo na gombík, pád La Cruz o niečo menej ako dve minúty na prvé kolo. Kubánec porazil grófa, ale rozhodca rozhodol, že nemôže pokračovať. La Cruz bol stále “Muž” v ľahkej váhe a vyradením, Coe dokázal, že skutočne patrí k elite, a že č. 1-hodnotený Američan je bojovník, ktorého treba poraziť, pokiaľ ide o kvalifikáciu na 2020 U.S.. Olympic Team.
“Všetkým dávam vedieť, že som tu,” Dodal Coe. “Stále musím popracovať na mnohých rôznych veciach. Potrebujem nahodiť viac kombinácií, držte výdrž hore, a vylepšovať všetko, aby bolo lepšie. Som skôr čistý boxer, ale mám silu a raznú silu. Tréner (Táborový kotlík)Walsh nemení svojich bojovníkov, dodáva k tomu, čo majú. Tréneri zostavili bojový plán a ja som ho vykonal.”
“Khalilove vystúpenia v Nemecku boli na svetovej úrovni,” Povedal hlavný tréner tímu USA Walsh, “Byť skutočne svetovou triedou, teraz musíme tieto vystúpenia pravidelne opakovať, a v tom spočíva výzva.”
Na tohtoročnom USA vs.. Prehliadka Írsko - severovýchod, Coe bol 2-0 proti jeho írskym náprotivkom v Bostone a Springfielde
Coe sa v škole často bil, až kým ho matka neposlala do miestnej telocvične, a jeho prvý amatérsky zápas bol, keď bol 12. Keby práve nebol boxoval, 6. deň′ 1″ Coe je presvedčený, že by pravdepodobne hrával univerzitný futbal, ako krajný obranca alebo obranný koniec.

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, príslušne, podľa skóre 8-4 a 7-3.
Wednesday’s fights were not all about winning, však. For the majority of the boxers involved it was a great opportunity to fine-tune their techniques and get some much-needed international competition experience. Some of Wednesday night’s best performers will also likely be representing their respective countries in the upcoming 2020 Olympijské hry.
The main event of the night featured 2016 Youth World Championships Bronze Medalist Richard Torrez dominating 3-time Irish National Champion Dean Gardiner. The Irish fighter’s towering height and long reach simply could not overcome the fast pace and excellent defensive posture of the shorter American.
Torrez spent the first round executing masterful feinting and punch slipping while scoring with some bombing hooks. Torrez changed levels, used slick head movement, and never let his foot off the gas as Gardiner plodded forward with an unbalanced and wild approach in the early going. A thudding body shot connected for the Irishman in the first, but not much else.
Torrez kept up the quick work rate in the next frame, unleashing left and right hooks and landing cleanly through much of the round. He scored to the body and head easily, though much of the round saw his opponent covering up and waiting for openings. One straight left from Torrez sent his opponent reeling for a moment, but the taller man recovered and did land a phenomenal left hook to the head of Torrez as he was fighting off the ropes. Gardiner tried landing mostly straight punches on the outside and seemed unable to turn over his punches in close.
The third round saw both fighters slugging it out until the final bell with one of the wildest back and forth exchanges of the night, but it was too little and too late for Gardiner. He just could not get his range dialed in. Torrez just outworked his opponent again and landed a few slick uppercuts to go with his thundering right and left hooks. He used the jab sparingly but effectively, spending much of the final frame targeting Gardiner’s body. Torrez earned the Unanimous Decision win with his performance and didn’t take more than a handful of hard shots in the process.
Kelly Harrington, a World Championship Silver Medalist from Ireland, likely had her team’s most masterful performance in cruising to a unanimous decision victory over Stacia Suttles in the opening bout of the night. Suttles struggled to keep herself at the ideal punching range against the unrelenting attack of Harrington in the first round, spending much of the three minutes bobbing and weaving to try to avoid the crisp combinations of her opponent. Suttles did land her jab fairly consistently, and she did begin to put some combos together late in the round, but Harrington is an absolute expert when it comes to head movement. She looked as if Floyd Mayweather, Jr. was one of her coaches as she utilized a hands-low technique with constant feints, punch slipping and level changing. The first round saw her landing a beautiful straight left to the head and a fantastic body and head punching combination that landed solidly. She unleashed some fierce hooks, although a few were wild haymakers. Below is a picture of Harrington during one of just a few brief moments in the fight where she brought both hands up to protect her face.
