By Joseph Santoliquito/BWAA President

In a pivotal year for women’s boxing that saw the sport reach more
people than ever before, two-time United States Olympic gold medal
winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy
Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of
America’s Female Fighter of the Year.


“I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” Shields said.


“Di 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue
the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.”


The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the
BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined.


“In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there
were so many worthy nominees for this award, but in 2018, Claressa
Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world
champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 dan 160
pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi,
chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro
fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this
year’s Christy Martin Award.”


Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as
members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight
champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at
168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a
shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January.

Next was Shields’ middleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June,
and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields
rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut
decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Soon after, the news came that
Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to
cedera, tapi “T-Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while
adding the WBC crown to her trophy case.

Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing is family!”
Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS, kelas 2018 Orang yg ditunjuk

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Desember 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 anggota Roy Jones Jr. dan, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewartdan Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

Penerimaan Hall of Fame Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS yang kedua, diadakan sehubungan dengan 2018 USA Boxing Elite dan Youth National Championships dan Junior and Prep Open, Bulan Desember 2-8, will be held December 7, di 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 atau 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) juara kelas menengah dunia.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 Biaya) catatan, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 dan 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, pada saat Savannah Marshall (Inggris) 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; pertemuan Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, pelatih Al Mitchell, dan pelatih 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 — saya, 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, masuk dan keluar dari tinju.

 

 

 

“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,” tersebut Chris Cugliari, Direktur Eksekutif Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS. “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.”

 

Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS

 

 

 

Diciptakan untuk juara seumur hidup, hubungan yang saling menguntungkan antara USA Boxing dan alumninya, –petinju, pejabat, pelatih dan penggemar tinju — Asosiasi Alumni menghubungkan generasi juara, menginspirasi dan memberikan kembali kepada juara tinju masa depan USA Boxing, masuk dan keluar dari ring.

 

 

 

Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS terbuka untuk siapa saja yang menyukai tinju dan ingin tetap terhubung dengan tinju amatir. Anggota diberikan akses ke berbagai acara khusus yang diselenggarakan oleh Asosiasi Alumni, termasuk penerimaan Hall of Fame Asosiasi Alumni Tinju AS.

 

 

 

Untuk bergabung dengan Asosiasi Alumni, cukup mendaftar di alumni@usaboxing.org untuk sebuah $40.00 biaya keanggotaan per tahun. Anggota baru akan menerima kaos, gantungan kunci dan e-wallet.

 

 

 

 

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 tahun, 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.”

 

 

 

Shields, sayangnya, 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, California, terhadap Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Kurang sehat,” 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 Tongkat polisi (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 pagi, 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 staff – USA 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.

Kamp Pelatihan Hampir Selesai; Claressa Shields yang Percaya Diri dan Berbobot Siap untuk Pertarungan Hannah Rankin DAZN pada November 17

Tinggalkan komentar

Superstar wanita dan juara dunia dua divisi Claressa Shields berada di Florida bersama pelatih John David Jackson, menyelesaikan persiapan untuk pertarungannya dengan Glasgow, Hannahh Rankin dari Skotlandia pada hari Sabtu, November 17, di Kansas Star Arena and Casino di Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 Biaya) akan mempertahankan IBF dan Kejuaraan Kelas Menengah Dunia WBA, dan ingin menambahkan gelar WBC yang kosong, melawan Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) dalam pertarungan 10 ronde unggulan bersama untuk pertandingan kelas berat Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller melawan petenis Rumania Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Keduanya bertarung, bersama dengan mantan juara dunia Brandon Rios menghadapi saudara laki-laki Canelo, Ramon Alvarez, dalam 10 ronde kelas welter super dan mantan penantang gelar kelas menengah dunia dua kali Gabriel Rosado melawan pesaing yang pernah kalah, Luis Arias, akan disiarkan langsung di DAZN.

 

 

 

23-Shields berusia tahun, mantan peraih medali emas Olimpiade dua kali, telah menghidupkan kembali minat pada tinju wanita dan menjadi favorit rating untuk eksploitasi kejuaraan yang disiarkan televisi secara nasional. Penduduk asli Flint yang bangga, Michigan, Shields mencampurkan pernyataan kurang ajar tentang kebesarannya dengan upaya tulus dan berkelanjutan untuk menginspirasi atlet wanita dan memberikan bantuan kepada anggota komunitas asalnya.

 

 

 

Shields awalnya dijadwalkan untuk menghadapi WBC dan WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer pada November 17, tapi pertarungan ditunda setelah Hammer mundur karena alasan medis.

 

Apakah pergantian lawan dari Hammer ke Rankin memengaruhi latihan Anda?

 

 

 

Saya tidak berlatih untuk lawan saya, Saya hanya mendorong untuk mendapatkan yang terbaik dari saya, secara fisik dan mental. Jika saya yang terbaik 'saya,'Saya tidak perlu khawatir tentang siapa lawannya. Pergantian lawan sama sekali tidak mengganggu saya; Hal terburuk tentang kamp ini bagi saya hanyalah semua perubahan tanggal - terus-menerus harus memfokuskan pikiran saya pada kecepatan dan waktu pelatihan tergantung pada tanggal pertarungan. Saya tidak sabar untuk naik ring!

 

Anda telah bertarung di kelas menengah super 168 dan baru-baru ini di kelas menengah 160 pon. Bagaimana pelatihan Anda, diet dan upaya lain yang berbeda untuk dilakukan 160?

 

 

 

Pelatihan selalu sulit dan saya terus belajar. Saya menjalani diet yang sangat berbeda di kamp ini - perubahan nyata dan positif bagi saya. Saya telah bekerja sama dengan Perfecting Athletes untuk makanan harian saya, dan saya merasa hebat. Saya selalu mencoba makan sehat tetapi orang-orang ini pro dan lebih berpendidikan di bidang itu daripada saya. Saya memiliki minuman ajaib yang membuat perut saya tersenyum - saya menyukainya! Semangka dicampur dengan sayuran hijau. Saya tidak akan memberi tahu Anda apa itu sayuran, tapi saya sudah meminumnya setiap hari, dan saya merasa HEBAT.

 

Jumlah penonton Anda sangat kuat. Menurut Anda mengapa orang tertarik kepada Anda?

 

 

 

Saya percaya bahwa orang tertarik pada betapa nyata dan jujurnya saya, baik dalam dan keluar dari ring. Saya mengatakan apa yang saya maksud dan sungguh-sungguh dengan apa yang saya katakan. Saya keras tetapi saya juga memiliki sisi yang lembut. Dan saya pikir orang tertarik pada cara saya bertarung — tidak hanya saya berbicara tentang permainan yang bagus tetapi saya melawan a– off juga! saya beri 1000% setiap saat - Saya ingin mengubah permainan dan membawa generasi baru penggemar tinju dan tinju wanita secara keseluruhan.

 

Apa yang Anda ketahui tentang lawan Anda, Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

Saya tahu bahwa lawan saya Rankin sangat tangguh dan bertekad untuk menjadi juara dunia. Saya suka drive-nya, Saya suka hatinya. Saya tahu bahwa dia telah berada di atas ring sebagai rekan tanding bagi banyak juara, salah satunya adalah Christina Hammer. Jadi Rankin telah melihat beberapa petarung yang bagus. Tapi satu hal yang pasti - dia belum pernah melihat petarung sepertiku. Dan karena Hammer tidak dapat melawan karena kondisi medisnya, dalam banyak hal, hal terbaik berikutnya adalah melawan dan mengalahkan rekan tandingnya dan membiarkan Rankin memberi tahu Hammer apa yang dia hadapi saat dia kembali!

 

Apa yang perlu dilakukan untuk mengatasi krisis air Flint?

 

 

Untuk mengatasi krisis air batu, Saya pikir orang harus terus memberi air dan juga terus mengabarkan bahwa ada kota di Amerika di mana, luar biasa, Warga AS tidak memiliki air bersih. Dan semoga presiden atau gubernur kita melakukan sesuatu untuk memperbaiki semua pipa.

 

Apa rahasia menjadi yang terbaik dari yang terbaik dalam olahraga apa pun?

 

 

 

Saya percaya rahasianya dimulai dengan percaya pada diri sendiri, berdedikasi, bekerja keras dan selalu berusaha untuk menjadi lebih baik. Saya merasa saya adalah kritikus terbesar saya saat berlatih dan bertinju. Sulit untuk menonton film perkelahian saya karena meskipun saya melakukannya 97 semuanya benar. Saya tidak tahan melihat 3 hal-hal yang saya lakukan salah. Saya adalah orang yang berusaha mengeluarkan seluruh potensi saya. Butuh keberanian untuk menjadi hebat. Tidak ada yang menghalangi pencapaian tujuan saya, yang mencakup menjadi GWOAT dan menciptakan kesetaraan bagi semua pejuang wanita dalam hal uang, peluang dan cakupan yang didapat pria.

DETROIT (Bulan Juni 23, 2018) – Claressa Shields became a two-division world champion, and Christina Hammer retained her two world title belts as both scored unanimous decision victories on Friday night on SHOWTIME BOXING: EDISI KHUSUS from the Masonic Temple in Detroit, saya.

 

 

 

And now they have their sights set on one another.

 

 

 

The two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Shields of nearby Flint, Mich., was knocked down for the first time in her career 53 detik ke babak pertama, but she was able to come back and win every round after that to become a two-division world champion capturing the vacant IBF and WBA Middleweight World Championships against Hanna Gabriels. The judges’ scored the fight 98-91, 97-92 dua kali.

 

 

 

Hammer entered the ring after the Shields fight, and an emotional Shields pressed toward Hammer and some pushing and shoving ensued. (see video DISINI)

 

 

 

“I’m just tired of Hammer disrespecting me all the time,” Shields (6-0, 2 Biaya) tersebut. “She comes into the ring after all my rights, talks trash, and then she goes in there and looks like [crap] against Nelson. I’m sick of it. But I let her know I’m more than ready for a fight against her. She wanted me to lose tonight, but I wanted her to win because I want to fight her. We have to unify now.”

 

 

 

Shields and Gabriels started the fight swinging furiously, but it was Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 Biaya) who connected on a right uppercut sending Shields to the canvas. (see the knockdown video DISINI)

 

 

 

“Once I went down, I took a deep breath and I remember thinking to myself, ‘I’m about to whip this girl’ ” Shields said. “I just remember thinking let’s use the jab and be smart.”

 

 

 

Costa Rica’s Gabriels, a unified 154-pound titleholder, was coming up in weight and attempting to become a three-division world champion. (see Shields-Gabriels highlights DISINI).

 

 

 

“I trained to go the distance but my heart betrayed me, because after that first knock down, I was looking for another one,” said Gabriels, the reigning WBA and WBO champion who was fighting in her 12th straight world title fight since winning the welterweight title in 2009. “I wanted to show everyone I had a warrior’s heart.

 

 

 

“I didn’t feel I had an advantage after the knockdown. I felt I had to work round after round to even have a possibility to win.”

 

 

 

Added Gabriels: “She has a lot of power. It was a great fight and you have to accept the judges’ decision. She’s powerful and for the fans I think it went well.

 

 

 

Shields suffered a cut on the left cheek in round 10, and also overcame a head butt. She recalled being hurt by Gabriels’ punches to the head just three times in the fight. “The first round, fourth round and the eighth round, other than that she didn’t hit me with no head shots.”

 

 

 

Shields – in her first fight with new trainer John David Jackson – said she learned something about herself after the fight. “I can get put on my ass, get up and come back and win,” she said. “Tonight was my night and I have to show the world I’m the greatest of all-time. I showed who I am. Saat Ini, I’m really dangerous because you can even put me down, and I’ll still come back to win.”

 

 

 

The difference in the fight was Shields’ ketepatan, especially in terms of her power shots as she connected on 42 percent compared to Gabriels’ 26 persen.

 

 

 

Shields was asked after the fight when she would like to face Hammer. “Hopefully it’s next,” she said. “I don’t need no rest. I could have whipped her tonight. I’m just so sick of her and her whole team.”

 

 

 

 

 

In a lopsided win in her highly anticipated U.S. debut, Palu (23-0, 10 Biaya) remained undefeated with a unanimous decision against Tori Nelson (17-2-3, 2 Biaya). Skor yang 100-90, 99-91 dua kali, to retain her WBC and WBO Middleweight World Title belts. (see Hammer-Nelson highlights DISINI).

 

 

 

“It would have been better to get a KO,” said Hammer, siapa yang 27 years old and from Dortmund, Jerman. “I tried everything I could to get the knockout. She was tough. I hope the USA is good with this and I’m still the champ.”

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to fighting Claressa. She will try and fight me on the inside but my footwork and my reach will make the difference. The fight with Claressa will be a game-changer. It will be the biggest women’s fight ever. I would like to fight her at a neutral site.”

 

 

 

“I’m very disappointed in my performance tonight,” said an emotional Nelson after the fight. “It’s a loss, of course it’s disappointing. I wasn’t busy enough, I guess.”

 

 

 

In her last fight, Nelson lost a unanimous decision to Shields back in January. “Claressa is better,” Nelson said. “Shields has a jab and uses the ring. Claressa stands there and wants to fight. She has all the punches. Hammer only has one.”

 

 

 

Di pembuka siaran, Umar Salamov (21-1, 16 Biaya) connected on a lethal right hand in knocking out Brian Howard (13-2, 10 Biaya) 53 seconds into the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round light heavyweight bout.

 

 

 

Salamov, from Alkhan-Kala, Rusia, was making his United States debut and trains at the famed Kronk Gym in Detroit with Javan “Sugar” Hill Steward. In a fight between two long and lanky fighters, Salamov landed 34 percent of his power punches compared to 27 percent for Howard and was ahead on all three judges’ scorecard at the time of the knockout.

 

 

 

“I was hurt a little bit in the second round from one of his shots, but I didn’t let it bother me because this is my U.S. debut,” kata Salamov, a six-year pro who is 24 tua tahun. “I just kept fighting. After I got hit with that punch, I started coming forward and as soon as I did that, the fight changed.”

 

 

 

Salamov said he knew once he connected on the first right that Howard was hurt. “I knew as soon as I landed the punch that he would be very hurt,"Dia berkata. “I felt it up to my elbow. I didn’t want to hit him after that because I knew he was finished.”

 

 

 

The former cruiserweight Howard had a couple of highlights and was able to effectively land his right hand on several occasions, including one powerful right cross in the seventh round that seemed to stun Salamov.

 

 

 

“I would say I did fair, I did OK,” said Howard, a former minor league football player who lives outside of Atlanta and was making his SHOWTIME debut. “I was fortunate to get the call by Salamov’s team and by SHOWTIME. I’ll be back.”

 

 

 

Friday’s tripleheader will replay on Monday, Bulan Juni 25 di 10 p.m. ET / PT pada SHOWTIME EXTREME dan akan tersedia pada SHOWTIME kapan saja® dan SHOWTIME di PERMINTAAN®.
