在COVID-19大流行期间,她一直在准备参加 2020 美国拳击全国锦标赛, 十二月 5-12, 在什里夫波特的什里夫波特会展中心, 路易斯安那州。

塔皮亚 (如下所示,他的纹身回到了莫雷) 帮助莎拉娅·泰娜(Sharahya-Taina)克服了她母亲发生的交通事故改变人生的悲剧。那时她才八岁, 事故发生后躺在母亲身上, 首先从车上驶向高速公路,寻求帮助。

塔皮亚, 曾两次获得国家金手套锦标赛冠军, 对莫雷的生活产生了巨大的影响, 永远不会离开她的心灵的灵魂。

“我们变得像家人一样,这位21岁的年轻人解释道。 “首先, 他 (约翰尼) 不喜欢女孩拳击, 所以他真的很努力我是一个很好的篮球运动员,他一直告诉我去打篮球。但他成了我人生中的大人物, 我认为, 因为我这么年轻就失去了母亲。他以多种方式帮助我实现了目标。约翰尼·塔皮亚(Johnny Tapia)最帅, 我见过的最谦虚的人我们成为一家人,直到体育馆瓦解。他只执教了我八个月, 但是他告诉我拳击将您定义为一个人。我感到安全。由于约翰尼和拳击,我是一个更好的人。”

“我喜欢拥抱我的文化的两面,她评论道, “从我的母亲代表我的阿科玛一面,从波多黎各人的血液代表我的泰诺血统, 这就是为什么我叫Sharahya-Taina。每天都是为女性而战。我只是想让大家知道并清楚我们会留下来。我不只是为自己而战。我也在为家人而战, 祖先和下一代女性选择戴上一副手套。目标不只是成为冠军, 但是在外面, 太。”

从青年到精英部门,Moreu一直非常成功, 赢得 2017 全国青年锦标赛和西部地区公开赛, 以及 2016 和 2017 青年公开赛。她还曾在 2018 全国精英锦标赛和西部精英资格赛, 加上 2015 全国青少年奥林匹克运动会。

Sharahya-Taina Moreu是一位执行任务的年轻女士。她希望能参加 2024 巴黎奥运会, 特别是和她的弟弟,如果他们俩都有资格, 如她所说, “奥运会拳击比赛中的标志性兄弟/二人组合。”

Sharahya-Taina Moreu to make USA Boxing Women’s Elite debut at home in Albuquerque

2018 Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships
海. 6-10 at Albuquerque Convention Center

ÇOLORADO SPRINGS, 膝部. (三月 1, 2018) – High school senior Sharahya-taina moreu, one of the top youth amateur boxers in the world, will make her USA Boxing in the Women’s Elite Division at home in Albuquerque, 三月 6-10, 在 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships.

The 18-year-old Moreu, who plans to attend community college next year, 是 2016 USA Boxing National Champion, in addition to a four-time Native American and 2014 Gene Lewis champion. She was a silver medalist at the 2015 Junior/Youth Open and 2014/2015 Junior Olympic championships.

拳击, her father/coach, 约鲁巴·莫鲁(Yoruba Moreu), 已故 约翰尼·塔皮亚 helped her overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s death in an automobile accident, forging a new path for her as a role model and 2020 Olympic hopeful. “I was only eight when my mother died,” Moreu remembered. “I was laying on her when the car-rolled and she was thrown through the back window. I was the first out of the card and on the freeway asking for help.

I’m a better person because of that accident, 虽然. 首先, I was regretful and angry, getting in fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing, 愤怒管理, and became motivated. I didn’t realize that I’d become a role model until girls started asking me for advice. They do look up to me and some of them I now coach.
Moreu started boxing at the age of 12 and Tapia, 五年时间, 三个赛区世界冠军, in addition to the 1983 和 1985 全国金手套冠军, had a tremendous impact on Sharahya-Taina that will remain in her heart and soul for life.
We became like family,” Moreu said. “首先, he didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me real hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, 我认为, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person, 进出环. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.

风格明智, Sharahya-Taina preys on her opponentsmistakes, adjusting in the ring the same as, 她说, “Just like in life.At 5′ 10″, Moreu has a distinct height and reach advantage over most of her middleweight opponents, using those attributes, her speed and stiff jab to relentlessly pile up points.

She strongly believes that, because of Claressa盾gold-medal performances in the 2012 和 2016 奥运会, the doors are open wider for women in boxing. “I saw an American woman do what Clarissa did and become a dominant force in boxing,” Moreu remarked. “(2016 中美. Olympian and three-time USA Boxing National Champion)) 迈卡拉迈耶 (3-0, 2 KOs as a pro) has helped a lot, 太. She signed with a good promoter (热门排名). Boxing is slowly getting better for woman, maybe not equal to men, but there are more girls boxing today than ever before and that’s a good sign.

Fighting at home in the Western Qualifier has a special meaning for Moreu. “I thought fighting in Albuquerque would be a lot of pressure,” 她承认, “but there’s not much pressure on me because of all the support I’m receiving. It’s easy here. Albuquerque isn’t like a big city but it’s becoming a fight town.

I like to travel and meet different people. 去年, I represented to United States in India at the Youth Championships, and I saw another part of the world, how people trained and had different life styles. I’m turning 19 在五月, so this is my first-time boxing in an Elite tournament, and it’s great doing it in my hometown.

Moreu also credits her father for a large amount of her success in the ring and life. “He’s been a single parent, but he’s always been there doing his best for me as a father and coach,” Sharahya-Taina noted. “Most people don’t know that he’s Puerto Rican, my mother a Native American (Pueblo).”

Like most young, elite athletes, Sharahya-Taina has a dream. “2020 在奥运会上,” she concluded. “I want to establish myself as an amateur and eventually go pro and have a good career.
