From East LA to Team USA Flyweight boxer Anthony Herrera is living the dream
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Februar 20, 2020) – From the mean streets of East Los Angeles to a berth on Team USA is a remarkable achievement for 19-year-old flyweightAnthony Herrera, who recently was selected to be a member of the 2020 Olympic Games Tokyo Boxing Qualification Team.
“Since I was very young,” Herrera spoke about growing up in East LA, “my parents always kept me in sports. Being so occupied with sports was actually a distraction from what was going on around the city. So, I never had time to get into trouble and my parents kept me away from a bad lifestyle. Once I started boxing, I took it seriously, staying focused and setting goals. I was a little older at that time and whether or not I wanted to partake in boxing or wanted to make a career out of it was all up to me, and I always had my parents full support. Boxing has been a big part of my life. I’m always looking forward to the next workout or anything boxing related. It’s part of my image at this point.”
Za zdaj, čeprav, Herrera is preparing with his teammates at the United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for the America’s Qualification Tournament, March 26-April 3, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Herrera will qualify to represent his country at the Olympics by finishing among the top five in Buenos Aires, or first six placers at the World Qualifier, Maj 13-14, v Parizu, France.
“I thrive under pressure,” Herrera said. “I don’t let pressure get to me mentally so much that it negatively impacts my performance. It makes me perform better when I’m in the ring. I’ve been under pressure my whole boxing career. Not only has it made me a better fighter in certain situations that are intimidating, but also a stronger person overall. Going to Argentina is no different, the nerves are still there, but so is my determination to get to Tokyo.”
A 2018 National PAL and 2019 Western Elite Qualifier champion, Herrera recently finished second at the 2020 U.S.. Olympic Team Trials and third at the 2020 Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria.
“The amateur boxing accomplishment I’m most proud of is making the United States Qualification Team as a flyweight,” he noted. “It was tough to make it here and knowing that I overcame the obstacles I faced on this long journey to where I’m at now makes me very happy. I can truly say I earned it.
“My first International boxing match (Strandja) was a little different from what I’m used to. The equipment we used and fighting without headgear created more risk when fighting, but I had fun in my first international fight. I already have the feel for that environment and am more comfortable now.
“I really enjoy training in Colorado Springs with my teammates, because it’s a great experience that only the best athletes get. I love training at home as well, but there are less distractions in Colorado Springs. I get to focus 100-percent on my craft and get to travel more.”
Herrera, who describes his style as a “swarmer”, applying pressure and breaking down his opponent, is living the dream.
“Fighting in the Olympics was always big for me, but getting a gold medal is my dream,” he added. “I’ve always wanted it because no one can ever take that away from me, and the story and work that is put behind a gold medal is priceless. In my opinion it is harder than winning a world title in professional boxing. Being this close to the Olympics, I’m proud of myself but not satisfied. I know that I still have work to do and I’m taking one step at a time. The next step for me is to qualify for the Olympics at the Olympic Qualifier.”
Herrera attributes some of his success to learning from former and contemporary boxers, implementing any techniques that they use into his style, Vključno, for example, the footwork and head movement ofJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., inMike Tyson’s set-ups from the body to head.
Tokyo is a long way from East LA for Anthony Herrera.

My most memorable fight would naturally be Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno at Cardiff Arms Park, da je zgodovina.
Toda refereed toliko znamenitih bojev, kje naj začnem, Shea Neary in Mickey Ward, zdaj, ko je bil velik boj.
Tam je nekaj pred leti se spomnim, kot so Jean-Marc Renard proti Farid Benredjeb, oh, kaj je vojna, ki je bila, oba sta pristala v bolnišnici.

Pravkar sem v tem, kar počnem, veš, sem bil v Rusiji, Argentina, Japonska, vsepovsod, Pravkar sem se vrnil iz Kijeva.

Kot profesionalec sem štirinajst borbe, vendar sem izgubil devet, ampak sem užival, Vesel sem, da sem se obrnil pro in sem vesel, da sem se boril, Vesel sem, da sem se boril amaterski in pro in sem zamudil, ko sem se upokojil in sem hotel narediti nekaj in moja vodja Predlagal sem roko, Sem želel trener pa Tommy Miller, moj upravitelj mi je rekel da je Jezus Mick kaj lahko naučil kogarkoli ", tako mi je rekel, da želite biti sodnik, zato sem dal v za to in to me je dve leti in sem usposobljen.
Užival sem v vsaki minuti in nekaj časa je bilo bolje kot drugi, v resnici so me sovražijo na Škotskem, so mislili, da sem sovražil Škotske. To sem slišal na večkrat radijskih.
Alex Morrison vam bo povedal,, je mislil, da sem sovražnik od Škoti, Nisem bil, samo se nikoli ni zdelo, da bi dobili razsodbo od mene, tako da je precej ironično, da to soboto to je škotski promotor in škotski boksarice, da zahtevo za mene za to predstavo.
Vedno sem imel veliko zabave tam in moja najljubša vseh časov borec je Škot, Ken Buchanan, so it’s really nice that they want me to be there for the first MBC sanctioned event there, I can’t wait.”
