NABA SUPER WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION, MARK DELUCA TO FACE UNDEFEATED CANADIAN CONTENDER, BRANDON BREWER
USA Boxing Alumni Association tribute & fundraiser for N.E. greats Vinny Paz & Micky Ward a major success
USA Boxing Alumni Association Profile: JASON “Үлкен Алты” ESTRADA

Колорадо Спрингсте, Тізе. (Шілде 30, 2018) – 2004 U.S. Олимпиадашы Jason “Үлкен Алты” Жол fully believes that boxing saved his life, preventing him from running the streets of Providence, Rhode Island, and molding him into the man he is today.
“I didn’t have any money growing up and could have easily gone the other way in the streets,” Estrada explained. “A lot of my friends from back then were selling drugs are many are either dead or in jail. I knew them all, they knew me. Instead of becoming a drug dealer, I beat them up and took their money. I could have easily ended up seller drugs on a bigger scale, shot them, or gotten shot by them. I was broke, but boxing saved me!”
Estrada’s first amateur match was in 1987, when he was only seven years old, and he developed into one of the most dominant amateur boxers in the world between 2001-2003, in which he was a “three-peat” champion at the USA National Championships, PAL National Championships and U.S. Шақыру. “Үлкен Алты” also remains the only American boxer to capture a gold medal in the super heavyweight division of the Pan-American Games (2003), in addition to representing the U.S. жылы 2004 Афиныда Олимпиада, Грекия.
After qualifying for the 2004 U.S. Олимпиада Бокс Team, much of the pre-Olympic Games boxing interest surrounded an expected showdown between the top two super heavyweights in the world, Estrada and Russia’s Alexander Povetin. Өкінішке орай, Estrada was hampered by a severe case of planta faucitis, which left Jason in an air cast and unable to train other than swimming throughout the entire pre-Olympics camp. Estrada won in the opening round, but he was eliminated in the second by Cuban Michel Lopes, who Estrada had fairly easily defeated in the championship final of the 2003 Pan-American Games. Povetkin went on to capture the gold medal.
“I would have loved to fight him” Estrada said. “I was super sharp, ақыл-ой, but physically I couldn’t bounce and move. I just had to deal with it. I found out that it was amazing how quickly people forget in boxing.”
Not only does Estrada credit his father, optometrist Dr. Roland Estrada, for helping to keep him on the straight and narrow, he also taught him to box. “My father didn’t have any boxing experience when we started,” Jason noted. “We went from gym to gym, sparring guys, and picking up things from other coaches. I appreciated my father so much because he always knew that his style wasn’t the only style. We experienced different styles and met some great coaches. Two of my favorite coaches are Barry Hunter (Вашингтон D.C.) мен Майк Стаффорд (Cincinnati). I’m cool with fighters I met in the amateurs like Андре АБРАХАМОМ арасындағы. The guy I’m closest with is George Garcia, who I fought and beat nine times. He’s one of my coolest friends, дегенмен. His son is a good prospect coming up, but he’s the opposite of his father, who was short and stocky. His son is a tall, lanky boxer.”

Estrada fought professionally for more than a decade, а жасау 20-6 (6 КО) рекорд, as an unusually quick-handed, slick-moving heavyweight. Бүгін, Estrada and his father own and operate Big Six Academy in Providence, coaching amateur and pro boxers.
“Boxing is like a marriage,” commented Estrada, who retired from the ring 3 ½ years ago. “Мен оны жақсы көремін, but we’re not together anymore. We’re still good friends. I still love boxing as a friend. I get my boxing fix by coaching, it’s still a part of my life. I spar with some of the fighters. I can do what I want for four rounds. There’s no challenge, no pressure. I could still fight, if not for the rigorous training. Physical problems I had when I fought – артқа, knee and feet – no longer hurt.
“My dad understands the knowledge I have – he never fought – and a lot of times in the gym we’ll say to each other, ‘I was just thinking that.’ He has no experience (fighting in the ring) және қазір, he lets me handle all the pads work. He’s putting more and more on me, work wise, but he closely watches us and takes care of the business end.
“I really enjoy helping our fighters prepare for media interviews. I’m thankful to USA Boxing for that, because we were trained to be in the right state of mind for interviews.”
Estrada had an opportunity to travel the world as a member of USA Boxing’s elite teams, boxing in Cuba, Dominican Republic Kazakhstan, Ирландия (3 рет), Germany and Brazil.
Now giving back to young boxers what he learned in USA Boxing ranks, the 37-year-old Estrada has one boxing goal left on his wish list.
“I’d love to work with somebody who becomes world champion and makes money to support their family,” Estrada concluded, “but more than anything, I’d love to work with a boxer who becomes a U.S. Olympian because I was a U.S. Olympian.”
And nobody can ever take that away from Jason “Үлкен Алты” Жол, one of America’s most decorated amateur boxers of all-time, and a proud USA Boxing Alumni Association member.

“Бәрі ойдағыдай өтті, Мен толқып, жүйкеңді қоздырдым, бірақ мен оны жеңдім,”- деді Найт.
“Менің қарсыласым маған сәл артық болады деп ойладым, бірақ мен онда болуым керек нәрсені жасадым және оны сол жерден шығардым. Менің дебютімде нокаутқа ие болу өте жақсы болды,” жалғастырды Knight.
Рыцарь өзінің келесі жеңісіне қол жеткізгісі келеді, және ол өзінің туған жанкүйерлерінің алдында не істеуге тырысады.

Біз біраз уақытқа жұмыс істегіміз келді және көптеген менеджерлер көптеген уәде берді. Мен Poindexter-ді Алтын қолғапқа қайта салдым, және ол жеңді, ол көптеген есіктерді ашты,” - деді Поиндекстер рыцарь, Sr.

Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, деді Дүйсенбі:
Дмитрий Andrade
Reflections of Muhammad Ali:
“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, де. Ali is the reason Floyd (Мэйуэзер, Jr.) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.
“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.
“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, too.”
About Pros in the Olympics:
“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. Мен болды 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, қуат және шеберлігі. Өкінішке орай, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Иә! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, иә, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”
On the 154-pound division:
“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) Смит. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.
“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”
On Gennady Golovkin:
“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, де, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”
Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:
“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 және мен болды 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.
“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. He fought (Vanes) Мартиросян, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”
On returning to the ring:
“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”
