Omar Juarez’ Touching Story with Special Needs Child

Leave a comment
BROWNSVILLE, TX (Samhain 10, 2020) – The rapidly expanding emergence of an inspirational leader continues unabated in the personage of undefeated super lightweight prospect, Omar Juarez (9-0, 4 Kos). An outstanding professional boxer by trade, Juarez is rising on the national stage with his recent designation as brand ambassador for the newly formed partnership between the California based Feet First Foundation and the globally recognized World Boxing Council’s humanitarian branch “World Boxing Cares”.


Omar Juarez’ carefully crafted message about the principles needed to achieve goals has positively affected young people’s lives in his hometown, Brownsville, Texas since he was 15-years old. The overwhelmingly positive feedback he has received from young people about his message has inspired him to even greater heights in this endeavor.


None more than a touching tribute he just received from a special needs child named Isaias, who deals with acute challenges that include communication. Isaias is limited to communicating through a laptop and was a frequent visitor to Omar’s gym on Fridays when it was opened to special needs kids.


As the pandemic took hold, Isaias found himself isolated at home and began to feel the effects of this isolation, he typed out a message of gratitude to Omar for being a source of inspiration and hope. His family acknowledged to Omar the much needed solace this represented to their son.


“To hear a message like the one I received from Isaias and his family made my day,” said Omar Juarez, who fights under the Dornálaíocht Seaimpíní Premier banner. “Its moments like these that keep me motivated as I continue to be a positive role model in my community. As a Chinese proverb states…I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.”


These are the touching moments that energize Omar as he continues his quest to become an inspirational leader on a worldwide scale.

Guth Donn-El : Todhchaí dornálaíocht na mban – 2020 Náisiúnaigh Dornálaíochta SAM, Nollaig. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

Leave a comment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Samhain 9, 2020) - Todhchaí dornálaíocht na mban, b'fhéidir, atá 15 bliana d'aoisGuth Donn-El, atá tar éis ard-onóracha a bhaint amach cheana féin i 11 comórtais náisiúnta agus réigiúnacha.

Ó thosaigh sí ag dornálaíocht isteach 2015, Tá boinn óir bailithe ag Sa’Rai ag an 2019 Oscailte Sóisearach, 2019 PAL náisiúnta, 2019 & 2017 Na Cluichí Oilimpeacha Sóisearacha Náisiúnta, 2017 Oscailte Réigiúnach an Iarthair, agus Oscailte Réigiúnach an Oirthir i 2017, 2018 agus 2019.

“D’fhan mé dírithe agus ocras orm agus, rud is tábhachtaí, humhal,” labhair sí faoin rath a bhí uirthi sa rannóg shóisearach., bí ocras i gcónaí agus bígí i gcónaí ag iarraidh tuilleadh."

Thosaigh dornálaíocht di nuair a bhí sí 10, oiliúint ag Lugo Dornálaíochta agus Aclaíochta i Marietta, Georgia. Roimhe sin ina hAlbain dúchais (NY), chuaigh sí chuig seomra aclaíochta a uncail agus fuair sí péire lámhainní dornálaíochta.

“Thit mé i ngrá leis an dornálaíocht nuair a fuair mé an chéad péire lámhainní sin,” a mhínigh Brown-El. “Thosaigh mé ag dornálaíocht ar dtús mar gheall ar, ag an am sin, níor aontaigh m'athair liom. Chonaic mé go leor daoine nár aontaigh le mná san iomaíocht i spórt a raibh an ceann is mó ag fir air, mar sin bhí mé ag iarraidh a chruthú go raibh na daoine mícheart. Is breá liom dornálaíocht mar boscaí mo theaghlach ar fad.”

Bhí drochthionchar ag paindéim COVID-19 ar fhormhór na ndhornálaithe, a bhí teoranta ó thaobh oiliúna agus sparring, chomh maith le bheith stoptha na tournaments. Donn-Eil, áfach, rinne an ceann is fearr ar an droch-staid, ag rith míle lena deirfiúracha, obair cardio mitt lena hathair, agus i bhfad níos mó.

Tá a radharcanna socraithe go daingean ag Brown-El ar an 2020 USA Comórtas Náisiúnta Dornálaíochta, Nollaig 5-12, ag Ionad Comhdhála Shreveport i Shreveport, Louisiana.

“Tá mé ar bís agus an-dírithe ar na Craobhacha Náisiúnta,” ar sise leis. “Tá mé ag troid le bheith ar Fhoireann Ardfheidhmíochta SAM don dara bliain. Ba mhaith liom é seo i ndáiríre agus beidh mé ag obair go dian gach lá. Is é an sprioc atá agam faoi láthair ná a bheith ar Team USA don dara huair. Ba mhaith liom troid go hidirnáisiúnta agus a bheith Uimhir 1 ar domhan.”

Tá spriocanna fadraoin cinntitheacha ag Brown-El sa dornálaíocht, ag tosú leis na Cluichí Oilimpeacha agus ag críochnú mar aghaidh dornálaíochta na mban.

“Má bhuann mé bonn óir ag an 2024 Cluichí Oilimpeacha, b'fhéidir an dara huair i 2028, ina dhiaidh sin ceapaim go n-osclóidh sé sin deiseanna iontacha dom,” a dúirt an éachtach. “Sílim go gcabhróidh sé go háirithe liom sna prodigy. Is é an sprioc is mó atá agam faoi láthair ná bonn óir a bhuachan.

“Ba mhaith liom a bheith ar an dornálaí baineann is mó ar domhan. Ba mhaith liom aithne a chur orm agus ba mhaith liom ráiteas a dhéanamh do gach baineannach. Ba mhaith liom an domhan a shuaitheadh., codladh, agus dornálaíocht anála. Ní spórt amháin é seo domsa, is stíl mhaireachtála é seo.”

Tá Sa’Rai Brown-El ar chosán órga go stardom. Léiríonn sí an todhchaí!

Giovanni Marquez ag leanúint i gcosa athar na hOilimpeach agus curaidh an domhain

2020 Náisiúnaigh Dornálaíochta SAM, Nollaig. 5-12, Shreveport, Louisiana

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Samhain 2, 2020) – dornálaí amaitéarach meáchan welter HoustonGiovanni Marquezag súil le beagán Deja-vu óna phríomhchóitseálaí agus a sheanathair, Arturo Marquez, a threoraigh a mhac agus athair Giovanni, Raul “El Diamante” Marquez, go dtí láthair uainchlár ar an 1992 Foireann Dornálaíochta Oilimpeach na Stát Aontaithe Mheiriceá.

Raul, a bhí ina chraobh amaitéarach SAM 2 uair in dhá rang meáchain éagsúla, welterweight, agus meánmheáchan sóisearach, ar aghaidh le bheith ina Cónaidhm Idirnáisiúnta Dornálaíochta (IBF) curadh domhan meánmheáchan éadrom, ag dul ar scor le a 41-4 (12 Kos) taifead pro.

Seachas cas pro i mbliana, 19-bliain d'aois d'fhan Giovanni sna céimeanna amaitéaracha, cé gur le sraith spriocanna, ar an gcéad dul síos, chun bonn óir a ghabháil ag an 2020 USA Comórtas Náisiúnta Dornálaíochta, Nollaig 5-12, ag Ionad Comhdhála Shreveport i Shreveport, Louisiana.

“Is é an sprioc atá agam i mbliana ná na Stáit Aontaithe a bhuachan. Náisiúnaigh agus tá léirithe den scoth acu le linn an chomórtais," Thuairiscigh Giovanni. "Is é mo sprioc fadtéarmach ná dul san iomaíocht go hidirnáisiúnta agus ionadaíocht a dhéanamh ar na Stáit Aontaithe ag an 2024 Na cluichí Oilimpeacha i Bpáras.

“Is é an fáth a d’fhill mé ar feadh bliana eile tar éis dom dul ar iarraidh sna Trialacha Oilimpeacha ná go bhfuil go leor le cruthú agam ar an ardán dornálaíochta amaitéarach. Shocraigh m’fhoireann agus mé féin gurbh é seo an cinneadh is fearr agus táim fós an-óg.Delante Johnson, an 2020 Ball d'Fhoireann Cáilíochta Oilimpeach SAM, agus chaill mé cinneadh scoilte. Cé gur chaill mé an troid, Chruthaigh mé go raibh mé in ann dul san iomaíocht ag an leibhéal is airde leis na madraí is fearr. Anois go bhfuil mé beagán níos sine, níos láidre, agus níos aibí go fisiciúil agus go meabhrach, Táim muiníneach go bhfuil a bhfuil de dhíth orm le bheith mar Uimh. 1 sa roinn. Sin é an fáth a chinn mo fhoireann agus mé chun fanacht amaitéarach in ionad casadh pro.

“Tá lúcháir orm faoi na Náisiúnaigh seo, ar bís a thaispeáint cad a bhí mé ag obair agus ag déanamh critice laethúil laistigh den seomra aclaíochta. Ciallóidh an bua do na Náisiúnaigh an domhan domsa, mar chuir mé an oiread sin ama agus iarracht isteach sa spórt seo. Le mo thaithí a fuarthas le cúpla bliain anuas, obair chrua agus aibíocht, Táim cinnte go bhfuil bonn óir ag fanacht liom i Shreveport.”

A dornálaí-puncher a dhéanann na coigeartuithe is gá a bhuachan, Tá sé de chumas ag Giovanni aistriú óna sheasamh orthodox go dtí an chos dheas, go compordach agus go héifeachtach.

A bheith ina mhac dornálaí cáiliúil, go nádúrtha, Tá a buntáistí agus na míbhuntáistí. Tá Giovanni réidh le briseadh amach as a stuaim féin, go pointe áirithe ar a laghad, lena sheanathair agus a sheanmháthair (Yolanda Marquez) ag obair a chúinne, agus a athair ina shuí sna seastáin ag breathnú ar an aicsean.

“Ag teacht ó theaghlach dornálaíochta,” a dúirt Giovanni, “Bhí mé i gcónaí sa seomra aclaíochta ag déanamh praiseach ar an mála trom agus m’athair ag traenáil. Ba í an chúis a thosaigh mé ag dornálaíocht ná mar nach raibh ann ach cuid de shaol mo mhuintire. Bhí spéis agam é a thriail mé féin agus thuig mé go raibh mé cumasach. Thit mé i ngrá leis an spórt agus níor fhéach mé ar ais ó shin. Ba é mo chéad troid oifigiúil nuair a bhí mé 12.

“Is cinnte go bhfuil níos mó súl ar mhac dornálaí clúiteach. Ní chuireann sé seo brú orm, spreagann sé mé a chruthú go bhfuil mé in ann na rudaí céanna a rinne m'athair a bhaint amach ar nós teidil náisiúnta a bhuachan. Is fíor-bheannacht é athair a bheith aige a bhfuil a thaithí agus a chuid eolais ar an dornálaíocht.”

Ní fadhb í an oiliúint le linn na paindéime COVID-19 i ndáiríre, go príomha toisc gur úinéirí giomnáisiam dornálaíochta iad a sheanathair agus a athair. Bhí streachailt ag Giovanni, cé, mar go raibh imní air faoi shláinte a sheanathar mar gheall ar a sheanaois agus go raibh sé so-ghabhálach i leith seachghalair chontúirteacha dá mbeadh sé ionfhabhtaithe. Tá siad tar éis fanacht sláintiúil trí chiorrú sóisialta a chleachtadh agus sláintíocht cheart a dhéanamh gach lá sa seomra aclaíochta.

“Is maith an rud é bheith i mo chúinne ag mo sheanathair,” a mhínigh Giovanni, "toisc go bhfuil a fhios agam go bhfuil gach rud a insíonn sé dom chun mo leasa féin. Airím gur chruthaigh mo sheanathair Oilimpeach amháin i m'athair cheana féin, mar sin tá na huirlisí agus an t-eolas ceart aige chun an rud céanna a dhéanamh liomsa.

“Ní hamháin gurb é mo chóitseálaí dornálaíochta é, is meantóir é freisin a thug isteach mar fhear óg mé inniu. Cuidíonn m'athair agus uncail liom freisin chun oiliúint a chur orm trí na miotóga a oibriú agus cuidiú le cleachtaí neart agus riochtaithe. I ndeireadh na dála, Mothúchán maith é mo theaghlach a bheith i mo chúinne, ag brú orm thar mo theorainneacha le go n-éireoidh liom.”

Tá Giovanni Marquez ag ullmhú chun a chéannacht féin a bhunú.

“Fanfaidh mé sa seomra aclaíochta, Go bunúsach tá mé i mo chónaí sa seomra aclaíochta, mar sin nuair a thosaíonn campa, Chuir mé mo chuid uile isteach i dtraenáil.

Tá meas agam ar Gamboa mar throdaire, ach sa fáinne, Ní bheidh aon meas agam air ar chor ar bith. Sa fáinne is é mo namhaid é.


Ar cad a chiallaíonn bua iontach do do ghairm bheatha.


“Is léir, Tugann bua mo 2ú teideal cosaint dhomhanda, rud atá an-tábhachtach domsa. Léiríonn cosaintí teidil go leor faoi cén cineál Trodaire atá tú i ndáiríre. Is cuma liom conas a bhuaigh tú é nó cé as a bhuaigh tú é…an féidir leat teideal an domhain a chosaint i gcoinne gach iomaitheoir? Sin an rud a seasaim mar churadh cúlaithe. Is féidir straitéis a bheith agat le dul ann ach nuair a bhíonn tú i do churadh éiríonn tú mar sprioc. Go raibh maith agat Davis, Tá Teofimo Lopez agus Ryan Garcia ar fad ina gcéilí comhraic iontacha domsa. B’fhearr liom troid níos luaithe ná níos déanaí ach caithfidh siad an dóigh chéanna a mhothú fúm. Tá sé mar sprioc agam a bheith ar an gcéad dornálaí billiúnaí, agus chun é sin a dhéanamh caithfidh mé léirithe billiún dollar a chur amach. Sin go díreach atá mé chun a dhéanamh ar 7 Samhain i Miami.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday:

GERVONTA DAVIS

“My team and I decided to move our camp to Las Vegas so we could have a perfect camp. We spent 15 weeks in training, so I’m well prepared. Hopefully Leo is well prepared and we give the fans what they want to see.

“We know Leo is going to come with a lot of punches and I’m going to be explosive. It’s all about giving fans a treat. I’m grateful to be in this position and I’m ready. Saturday night is going to be a memorable night.

“Not to take anything from him, Yuriorkis Gamboa was just trying to survive against me. It’s harder to get punches off when someone isn’t trying to bring the fight. I know Leo is going to come to fight. I think this performance is going to put me up to the next level.

“I don’t think I have to knock him out, I just have to go out there and be great. Forget everything else, I just have to go out there and show everyone that I’m the top guy in the boxing world. Sin é mo phríomhsprioc.

“Michael Jordan used to read the paper and do what they said he couldn’t do. That’s what I’m doing. I have to prove that I’m the baddest man in the sport on Saturday night.

“Leo is going to come to fight and it’s just about me stepping up and doing what I do best. You can see the potential in a fighter from the outside, but you have to see it actually come out in a fight to believe it. That’s the position I’m in. Everyone knows I’m great, I just have to show it.

“Leo has shown that he’s a top tier fighter, and he’s going up against an explosive, powerful fighter like myself. I think the winner should be in the top 10 of the pound-for-pound list.

“Floyd Mayweather has just told me to stay focused despite everything that comes with pay-per-view week. I have to get the job done first, but also do everything that comes with being the next pay-per-view star.

“I’m one of those fighters that knows how to focus when I have something big in front of me. None of the great fighters before me have frozen up when it’s crunch time. I’ve always been able to focus when big things are on the line. That’s what I did for this training camp.

“I’m not really focused on anyone who isn’t Leo Santa Cruz. I can’t overlook Leo. As far as any other fighter out there, they just don’t matter to me right now. I’ll prove it along the way. This is one step closer to proving the point I want to prove.”

LEO SANTA CRUZ

“This is what I’ve always dreamed of. When I was a little boy, I wanted to be on this stage. I’m living that dream and I’m very happy and excited. I never thought I’d accomplish it. I thought it was like winning the lottery. But thanks to the fans, I’m here where I’m at.

“I’m facing the best fighter in the division. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. I have to go against the best fighter. I wanted to challenge myself. I know this is a dangerous fight for me, but I want to test myself.

“We’ve both suffered and been through a lot to get here. Neither of us wants to go back to where we started. So I know we’re both going to give a great fight to the fans.

“I have the heart of a Mexican warrior. My dad has told me to fight a smart fight, but even though he’s going to say that, there’s a good chance I end up brawling with him at times. Is cuma cad, we’re going to find a way to beat him.

“I don’t really worry about being the underdog. Everyone has their opinion. It’s my job to go out there and prove the doubters wrong. I trained hard to go out there and do that Saturday.

“Gervonta is the best opponent I’ve faced. He’s the strongest fighter I’ll have faced. The Abner Mares and Carl Frampton fights were great experience for this kind of fight. I learned a lot from those four fights and since then I’ve learned a lot more.

“It would mean the world to me to become a five-division champion. It would be another dream come true. I would put the Santa Cruz last name right up there with the best.

“Gervonta is a big guy and I know he’s going to come hit hard. But I’ve trained with bigger guys all camp and I’ve been able to take everything thrown at me.

“The fans want you to go and make it a back and forth war. I know against Gervonta I have to fight smart. I’m going to just try as hard as I can to listen to my father’s advice.

“I definitely took this fight to quiet the critics. People said I didn’t want to fight the big names. So I went after the biggest challenge in the division and that’s Gervonta Davis.

“I leave the opinions to the fans and media. My job is to get the win and give the fans a great fight. I’m going to give it my best and leave it all in the ring.”

CALVIN FORD, Davis’ Trainer

“Camp has been great. It was unbelievable. I really appreciate the work that he put in. I can’t wait to see Tank in the ring. I’m looking forward to great performances from both fighters.

“’Tank’ accomplished a lot of things that I’ve asked him to do, but this is the pinnacle of them all right here. Both of these families have walked the same line with different trails. They both have a chance to become greats with this win.

“Every time I look at ‘Tank’ now, I flash back to those younger years in the gym with him as a child. Now he’s the man I’ve always looked at him to be. He’s a family man, business man and a wonderful fighter. It’s amazing to see one of my boys all grown up.”

JOSÉ SANTA CRUZ, Santa Cruz’s Father and Trainer

“We had a really good training camp and understand the importance of this fight. Leo is fully prepared for this fight on Saturday and I expect him to have a great performance.

“I’m very thankful to be here. I’m so happy to be here with my son for such a big fight and be able to guide him and help him accomplish his dream.

“We know that Davis is a very strong and accomplished fighter. But Leo has just used it to motivate him in the gym every day and you’ll be able to see that on Saturday.”

STEPHEN Espinoza, Uachtarán, Sports and Event Programming, Líonraí Showtime Inc.

“One of the biggest reasons I love boxing is because we get to witness young men, like ‘Tank’ Davis and Leo Santa Cruz, develop and mature right in front of our eyes. This is our ninth fight with ‘Tank’ and 13ú with Leo. We have seen them mature as fighters and we have seen them mature as young men. We’ve seen them struggle, allais, and triumph. We’ve seen them become fathers.”

“I remember the first time I met ‘Tank’, it was April 2016 i Washington, D.C. He was on the non-televised undercard of an Adrien Broner fight. He had already fought, he came over during the telecast and Floyd introduced him. I remember his very words, ‘This is my young fighter. Watch out for this kid.’ And we’ve been watching ever since.

“I remember the first time I met Leo was in June 2012. Shortly before his first world title fight. He was a very humble, quiet, soft spoken, almost shy young men. Very different from the guy that I saw in the ring about 48 hours after that. Is é an pointe, we’ve been along for the journey of these young men.

“They have been battling the odds, literally since birth. We were lucky enough to spend time with them during GACH ROCHTAIN. They opened their hearts, their minds, and themselves to share their stories. The thing I’ve heard most is that the difficulty about this fight is not whether people want to watch it or whether they’re going to buy it, it’s who they’re going to root for. Because if you know these young men’s stories, what they’ve gone through, and what they’ve experienced, it is incredible.

“The bottom line is in these two young men we have two of the most accomplished and popular young fighters in the sport today. Leo has been a champion almost consistently since 2012. ‘Tank’ had sellouts or near sellouts in Los Angeles, Baltimore and Atlanta, just last year. We have got these two accomplished young men fighting on Saturday night. You have to respect their journey, nuair a thagann siad as, and respect the teams that come around him.

“We do know what’s going to happen on Saturday night. Leo is going to come into the ring, throw a lot of punches and show an activity rate that’s unlike just about anybody else in the sport. ‘Tank’ is going to show the power, luas, and the athleticism that has made him one of the fastest rising young stars that we’ve seen in sport in some time. Beyond that, it will be up to them, just like it’s been up to them for their entire lives.”

SHOWTIME® SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS ANNOUNCES “macho: The Hector Camacho Story”

Leave a comment

Film Chronicles the Unlikely Rise and Untimely Death of One of Boxing’s Most Colorful Champions

Premieres Friday, Nollaig 4 ag 9 PM ET/PT

NUA-Eabhrac - Deireadh Fómhair 27, 2020 – Showtime Sports Documentary Films today announced it will air MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY, an unflinching look at the remarkable life, storied career and unsolved murder of one of boxing’s greatest showmen. Premiering Friday, Nollaig 4 ag 9 p.m. ET / PT ar Showtime, the documentary debuts just two weeks after the eighth anniversary of Camacho’s fatal shooting in Bayamon, Pórtó Ríce.

For the first time on film, MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY offers a thorough examination of an unlikely sports hero. The film celebrates Camacho’s sublime boxing skills and the unbridled charisma that brought Spanish Harlem and Puerto Rican culture to the center of the sports world. Through rare and revealing interviews with his mother, Maria Matias, sisters, wife Amy and son Hector Jr., the documentary also delves into the legendary fighter’s troubled mind and spirit, his battle with addiction and the inner turmoil that ultimately lead to his demise – a mysterious double homicide on a roadside in November 2012.

“Macho Camacho’s charisma, boxing prowess and flamboyant style made him a Puerto Rican sports icon, agus, for a time, the biggest star in boxing. When he stepped into the ring, everyone knew it was ‘Macho Time,’” said Stephen Espinoza, Uachtarán, Sports and Event Programming, Líonraí Showtime Inc. “This film reveals the complex highs and lows of Hector’s life: the joy he brought so many, as well as the demons that he battled privately behind the scenes. Through it all, áfach, Camacho brought boxing a level of showmanship and flamboyance that was far ahead of his time.”

Born in Bayamon and raised in the projects of Spanish Harlem in the 1970s, Camacho ascended to the pinnacle of boxing. His dynamic speed, footwork and power combined with his unparalleled showmanship helped usher in a new era of modern boxing and made him a member of an exclusive club of fighters who transcended the sport. The film tells the story of Camacho’s rise from a troubled youth to a multi-division world champion. MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY revisits Camacho’s unforgettable performances against legends such as Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Leonard and Julio Cesar Chavez, and pivotal career turning points in bouts with Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini and beloved New England fighter Vinny Pazienza. Through all the ups and downs and wins and losses, Camacho’s story of resilience is inspiring, cé, in the end, there was one opponent he could never beat – himself.

MACHO: THE HECTOR CAMACHO STORY Is directed by two-time Emmy® Award winner Eric Drath (Assault in the Ring and No Más, 30 do 30), and produced by Drath and Danielle Naassana, both of Live Star Entertainment. Sixteen-time Emmy Award winner Aaron Cohen served as writer and consulting producer.

Alexander “The Great” Flores driven to conquer Luis “King Kong” Ortiz

Leave a comment
LAS VEGAS (Deireadh Fómhair 27, 2020) – California heavyweight Alexander “The Great” Bláthanna (18-2-1, 16 Kos), whose only pro losses have been to world champions, will have the opportunity of his boxing career on November 7ú, when he takes on 2-time world title challenger Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (26 Kos).

King Kong vs. Alexander The Great will air live on FOX television, ag tosú ag 8:00 p.m. AGUS / 5:30 p.m. PT, in the 10-round main event on the Premier Boxing Champions card from Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.

“Ortiz is a 2-time world title challenger who has a lot of experience,” Flores said. “Tá mé óg, ocras, driven and determined to win. Beating Ortiz is a life-changing opportunity that I won’t be taking for granted.”

“Ortiz is a great fighter,” Bláthanna’ tionscnóir Keith Veltre (RJJ Boxing CEO/co-founder) chur leis, “but I think he may regret fighting a hungry lion like Flores. Fighting the elite of the heavyweight division has never been a problem for Alexander, whose only two losses have been to world champions. He gained invaluable experience in those fights that he’ll take into the ring against Oritz. We’d like to thank Team Ortiz, PBC and FOX for this tremendous opportunity.”

The 30-year-old Flores, fighting out of Roland Heights (SIN MAR), lost in 2014 to world champions Charles Martin agus Seosamh Páirceála four years later Flores captured the World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World heavyweight title in 2012 with a fifth-round stoppage of Joey Montoya.

Cuba-born Ortiz, who lives in Miami, has lost only twice, both times to world champion Deontay Wilder. Ortiz, a 41-year-old southpaw, has defeated a litany of world-class heavyweights during his 10 ½ year pro career, including Christian Hammer, Travis Kaufman, Malik Scott, Tony Thompson, Bryan Jennings, Monte Barrett, Lateef Kayode and Epifanio Mendoza. Mar amaitéarach, Ortiz had a reported 349-19 taifead, and he captured a gold medal at the 2006 Comórtas Náisiúnta Cuban.

Dornálaíocht don Samargis 26 bliain d'aois, atá ina chónaí i Twin Falls, Is gnó teaghlaigh fíor. Tá sí oilte ag a fear céile, Jason, agus a mbeirt mhac, Skyler Bellus (11) agus Riley Marovich (8), atá i Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá Dornálaíocht. Skyler, i ndáiríre, Bhí sé san iomaíocht i roinnt comórtas ina throid a mháthair freisin.

“Chuaigh mé isteach sa dornálaíocht díreach mar fhoirm meáchain caillteanas,” Mhínigh Kendra. “Bhí m’fhear céile ina chóitseálaí dornálaíochta le blianta fada agus bhí an trealamh ar fad aige fós. Chuireamar suas é inár ngaráiste agus thosaigh muid ag traenáil. Ar dtús, ag tosú amach an rud ba mheasa a rinne mé riamh. An méid stamina, seasmhachta, agus ní raibh an neart a bhí de dhíth orm réadúil. Go mall le himeacht ama chaill mé meáchan iontach, 73-punt le bheith cruinn, agus tháinig mé i ngrá leis an spórt.

“Cuirtear ceist orm i gcónaí cad é mar a bheidh oiliúint ag m’fhear céile. Deirim i gcónaí go bhfuil arm rúnda agam, duine atá i mo chúinne atá ag iarraidh go n-éireoidh liom an oiread agus a dhéanaim agus a thacaíonn liom i rith an ama. Chomh maith leis sin, in amanna táimid ag comórtais, Ní bhíonn mé riamh i m'aonar an oíche roimh troid mhór agus má tá caint pep de dhíth orm, tá sé ceart ann. Anois, mo chlann mhac san iomaíocht liom, go maith, sin scéal eile. Tá sé i bhfad níos deacra a bheith ar an taobh amuigh den fháinne agus mo bhuachaillí san iomaíocht ná troid ar bith a bhí agam riamh. Is cinnte go dtosóidh taobh mo mháthar isteach. Ag deireadh an lae, cé, Tá a fhios agam cé chomh oilte is atá siad, agus caithfidh mé muinín a bheith agam as sin. Ní oibrím a gcoirnéil mar tá sé sin ró-ghar. Chaithfinn an tuáille isteach gach uair. Caithfidh mé a bheith sna seastáin.”

Beidh Kendra agus a bheirt mhac san iomaíocht i Shreveport i mbliana, ainneoin go raibh orthu oiliúint a dhéanamh le linn na paindéime COVID-19 chun ullmhú don chéad chomórtas náisiúnta den bhliain sna Stáit Aontaithe.

“Ba bheannacht dom an oiliúint le linn na paindéime,” A dúirt Kendra. “Tá giomnáisiam againn sa bhaile anois. Mar sin,, le linn na n-amanna a bhí orainn ár doirse a dhúnadh, mo fhear céile, bhí páistí agus mise in ann coinneáil suas lenár réim traenála. D’fhoghlaim mé an oiread sin i rith an ama seo. Bhíomar in ann rudaí a mhoilliú agus oibriú ar an oiread sin rudaí nach ndéantar dearmad orthu. Tá an t-ádh linn freisin a bheith inár gcónaí i mbaile beag, ní raibh orainn ach ár seomra aclaíochta a choinneáil dúnta ar feadh dhá mhí agus táimid ag feidhmiú ó shin. Ní fhéadfainn ach a shamhlú cé chomh deacair is a chaithfidh sé a bheith don oiread sin daoine le linn na n-amanna seo. Bhí an-bheannaigh orainn giomnáisiam a bheith againn chun sinn a fháil tríd.”

Faoi láthair rangaithe Uimh. 10 ag 152 punt agus Uimh. 5 ag 165, Is iad buaicphointí Kendra go dtí seo ná boinn óir a bhuachan ag an 2019 Cáilitheoir mionlach an Oirthir agus 2018 Lámhainní náisiúnta Golden Tournament.

Dornálaí ionsaitheach a chaitheann punches i mbaróga, Creideann Samargis go bhfuil feabhas mór déanta aici le blianta beaga anuas. Admhaigh sí gur athraigh sí go leor codanna éagsúla dá cluiche, ag díriú níos mó ar ghluaiseacht, socrúcháin cos agus cinn.

Faoi dheireadh, teastaíonn uaithi sár-onóracha a bhaint amach ag iliomad comórtas náisiúnta, ag tosnú le Craobhchomórtas Náisiúnta na bliana seo, agus sa deireadh cas pro a shoot le haghaidh teideal domhanda. Chun anois, cé, tá sí go léir i do na Náisiúnaigh.

“Is mise an comórtas is mó atá agam do Chraobhchomórtais Náisiúnta na bliana seo,” chríochnaigh sí. “Gach lá ba mhaith liom a bheith ar an leagan is fearr de mé féin agus gach lá dúisigh mé suas go dtí an fhéidearthacht haunting raibh mé in ann titim ar ais isteach sa duine a bhíodh mé.. Caithfidh mé dul chun cogaidh gach lá liom féin chun an duine seo a choinneáil slán. Gach ceann de na huaireanta oiliúna, Cuidíonn cothú agus ullmhúchán meabhrach liom é seo a chur i gcrích. Gach lá is féidir liom leanúint ar aghaidh mar an leagan is fearr díom féin, ag díriú ach ar éirí níos fearr, ansin is cuma cé leis a mbeidh mé in iomaíocht lena aghaidh.

“Tá mé thar a bheith réidh agus ar bís do na Craobhchomórtais Náisiúnta i mbliana. Agus an domhan ag druidim chun deiridh is é seo mo chéad chomórtas den bhliain. Tá mé réidh le dul ar ais sa fáinne. Tabharfaidh boinn teideal náisiúnta eile dom faoi mo chrios agus géaróidh sé mo atosú nuair a bhainfidh mé an proifisiúnta amach.”
