ZATVORENO I LIČNO SA 10 VREME SVJETSKOG ŠAMPIONSKOG ŠAMPIONA CAITLIN ZAHVALJENO JE NJEGOVO PRO BOXING DEBUT

S ovom pandemijskom blokadom gotovo u cijelom svijetu, mnoge su borbe već otkazane, od najvećih, kao što je Anthony Joshua protiv Kubrat Pulev, sve do mnogih događanja u maloj dvorani.


Iako jasno zaključavanje utječe na sve koji su uključeni u naš voljeni sport, natjerala me na one koji su se pripremali za svoj profesionalni boksački debi, kao što je današnja žrtva, oprosti gost, Caitlin Foran, koji je trebao nastupiti 25. travnja u Orkneyu.


Caitlin je deset puta svjetski prvak u kickboxingu, prilično postignuće za nekoga tko je još uvijek pravedan 19 godina, neka se suoči s postizanjem tako visokog statusa u bilo kojem sportu u tako mladoj dobi prilično je dostignuće i bez sumnje će joj veliko iskustvo borbenog sporta biti od koristi kad se završi ova pandemija i ona debituje.


Zapravo sam imao zadovoljstvo upoznati Caitlin u ožujku na nekom događanju u Barrow-in-Furnessu, gdje je podržavala Paula Peersa kad je izazivao, i tuku, Nikaragvanski Milton Arauz za profesionalno boksačko vijeće (PBC) Međunarodni naslov, i uvijek je namjeravao pokriti svoj probni debi, ali s tim vraćanjem tek kasnije u godini, zbog trenutne situacije odlučila je umjesto toga dogovoriti intervju s njom.


Dosta mi je vafla, upoznajmo ovu nevjerojatnu tinejdžersku zvijezdu malo bolje.




(GDC) Zdravo Caitlin, hvala što ste izdvojili vrijeme da odgovorite na nekoliko pitanja za nas. Moje prvo pitanje je koliko razumijem da ste višestruki svjetski prvak Kick Boxer, Možete li, molim vas, reći našim čitateljima malo o vašoj karijeri u Kick Boxingu?




(CF) Tako sam započeo kickboxing unutra 2008 u dobi od osam godina, u to vrijeme žonglirao sam kickboxingom s mnogim drugim sportovima i aktivnostima, ali s vremenom mi je pažnja zapela za kickboxing i to je postao moj život.


Svakako nisam bio jedan od tih ljudi koji su imali talent za sport. Nisam bio fleksibilan, Nisam imao povjerenja, ali jedina stvar koju sam imao do danas me je odlučnost.


Živeći na otoku nismo uspjeli doći do toliko natjecanja koliko su to mogli drugi klubovi na kopnu, što znači da smo znali da moramo uložiti dodatne napore kako bismo nadoknadili nedostatak iskustva.


Također iz velike obitelji u kojoj je moja majka bila samohrani roditelj 5 djeca su značila da se rijetko uspijevam izvući da se takmičim i nisam baš započela pravilno natjecati se dok nisam ubacila svoj crni pojas 2011.


Tada sam se počeo natjecati obično jednom mjesečno, a prvo veliko natjecanje bilo je škotsko prvenstvo WKA u Glasgowu, gdje sam osvajao 2x zlata, to je bio moj prvi veliki poticaj samopouzdanja i nastavio sam se takmičiti češće osvajajući više škotskih naslova, kao i britanske i europske.


Tada sam dobio poziv za svoja prva svjetska prvenstva u 2013 u Italiji gdje sam otišao s brončanom medaljom.


Uvijek sam više volio bodove kad sam se takmičio, što je više karate stil, 'Start stop’ stil borbe, ali na mom drugom svjetskom prvenstvu u Pragu u 2014, bila je žena bez borbe za svoj prsten Kontinuirani odjeljak pa su me pitali hoću li se boriti.


Nikada nisam bio onaj koji je odbio borbu, pa sam uzeo bitku i na kraju je pobijedio kao i dvije druge pa sam otišao s svoja prva tri svjetska naslova i novom ljubavlju za borbu protiv ringa..


Iz 2014 za 2017 Nastavio sam osvojiti još sedam svjetskih naslova u raznim zemljama.


Po 2016/17 moja kickboxing karijera zaista se pokrenula i uskoro sam gledao kako ću se profesionalno okrenuti, međutim na kraju 2017 moj trener Ryan Reffell tužno je prošao što je okončalo moju kickboxing karijeru.


(GDC) Što je utjecalo na vas da pređete iz Kick Boxinga u profesionalni boks?


(CF) Kao što sam već spomenuo, Nikada nisam bila prirodno fleksibilna osoba pa su me u kickboxingu noge pretežno koristile za snažne pojedinačne udare tijela.


Dok sam još uvijek trenirao s Ryanom u sklopu Nemesis Kickboxinga, na kraju 2015 zaključili smo da mi je od ruke bolje i počeli smo razmišljati o prelasku na boks.


To je dovelo Ryana da počne s tečajevima boksa u ponedjeljak navečer, kao i kickboxing satove tijekom tjedna.


Ponudili su mi prvu borbu tog rujna 4 dana obavijest o međunarodnoj tituli UKBC u pero. Nastavio sam pobijediti u borbi i obranio je u revanšu tog prosinca.


2017 bila je kada sam se stvarno počeo više fokusirati na boks, a manje na kickboxing i imao sam još dvije borbe, s tim da je posljednja borba u mojoj nelicenciranoj karijeri bila borba za naslov pet nacija u travnju 2017 što je donijelo moj zapis 4-0-0.


Mislio sam da je moja boksačka karijera tada završila, sve dok se Paul Peers nije preselio u Orkney u 2018 i stupio u kontakt preko Facebooka koji je tada ponovno započeo moj trening jer je pokazao veliko zanimanje za moj boks i bio mi je ogromna pomoć u povratku ljubavi prema sportu i pokazao je da vjeruje u mene što me čini samopouzdanijim u sebe i dobio sam sebe natrag na pravilan trening prije nego što sam u siječnju ove godine potpisao profesionalni ugovor.


(GDC) Trebali ste održati svoj profesionalni boksački debi u Orkneyju 25. travnja, očito je to odloženo zbog pandemije COVID-19, pa prvo kako su tekle pripreme?


(CF) Da, bilo je poražavajuće kada je sve to počelo, ali svaki dan trčim i domaćim vježbama, držim se što aktivnije koristeći malo prostora koji imam kod kuće.


(GDC) Je li Vlada naredila zaključavanje utjecalo na vaše pripreme?


(CF) Prije zaključavanja bili smo sparing barem jednom ili dvaput tjedno u klubu i započeli smo partnerstvo s Lee Mcallister u Assassin-ovom boksu u Aberdeenu kako bismo izmiješali borce Orkney Boxing Clubs-a i njihove sparinge vikendom.


To smo uspjeli samo jednom do sada jer je vrijeme bilo loše i čamci nisu sigurni da će trčati, ali planirali su više u vodstvu do nastupa.


(GDC) Kada se zaključavanje zaustavi i objavi novi datum, vaš protivnik se navodi da je Carly Mackenzie, znate li puno o njoj?


(CF) Prvobitno sam se trebao boriti protiv Carly Mackenzie, međutim, moj protivnik se nedavno promijenio u Professional Boxing Council (PBC) Međunarodni prvak srebra Jamie Bates Wallis. Ne znam mnogo o Jamieju da budem iskren, ali prema onome što sam vidio ona je jak ortodoksni bokser s jakim napadom i oštrom odbranom.


Vodio sam borbu znajući da će to biti izazov, pogotovo što je moja prva borba u leđima 3 godina.
Dokazala se kao prvak, tako da da bih ja postala prvak moram pobijediti prvake.


(GDC) Odmičući se od dosadašnje karijere, tko vam je najdraži boksač, muško ili žensko, i zašto?


(CF) Moj najdraži boksač do sada mora biti Katie Taylor. Odigrala je veliku ulogu u ženskom boksu tamo gdje je danas i prava je inspiracija bilo kojem sportašu vani jer je pokazala da svaku prepreku možete prevladati ako zaista želite nešto.


(GDC) U istoj veni, koja je tvoja najdraža borba za sva vremena, i zašto?


(CF) Teško je izabrati najdražu borbu, ali mora biti posljednja borba Katie Taylor protiv Christine Linardatou dok je nastavila svoj pobjednički rekord i dodala WBO Super-Lightweight titulu svom sve rastućem popisu postignuća. Obično bi se Taylor zaglavio u svađi, ispaljivanje hitac nakon pucanja. Međutim, ovaj put držala se vani pametno boksajući i ne trošići energiju.


(GDC) Hvala vam što ste izdvojili vrijeme za odgovore na moja pitanja, napokon postoji netko koga biste željeli spomenuti s obzirom na vaš nadolazeći debi?


(CF) Želim zahvaliti svom sponzoru, Gary Sutherland u GSRI-u, Steven Logie na snazi 101 za održavanje moje forme i Paul Peersa za sve što je učinio u posljednjih godinu i pol kako bi mi povratio samopouzdanje i ponovno zaživio svoju ljubav prema boksu. Želio bih uzvikivati ​​i sve svoje stare suigrače na Nemesis kickboxing akademiji i Nemesis Boxing teretanu bez njih. Ne bih bio ovdje gdje danas.

Antonije “Magic Man” Tarver Credits USA Boxing for giving him Structure that carried him to top

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Svibanj 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Antonije “Magic Man” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 NC, 22 Kos) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair of Prsten magazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.
I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Objasnio Tarver. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, trening, spavati….sve! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 rekord. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, U.S. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Vassiliy Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 World Amateur Championships. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver rekao. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, iako, with a gold-medal professional career.
I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 U.S. Olimpijski tim. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, Jr – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 u Philadelphiji, zaustavljanje Joaquin Garcia (4-0) u drugom krugu.
I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract with Russell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17th profesionalna borba, kada Eric Hardingdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Dvije godine kasnije, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 pound-for-pound borac na svijetu. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.

Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Montell Griffin for the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated by Roy Jones Jr.., Travanj 26, 2003 na Foxwoods Resort Casino u Mashantucket, Connecticut. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 iz sva tri suca.
Sedam mjeseci kasnije, međutim, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, iako, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofPrsten magazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPN Petak Noćni Borbe televizijska emisija.
I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF champion Glen Johnson (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, ironično, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought for Prsten and IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematch six months later u Memphisu, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City to Bernard Hopkins for the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision over Elvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local hero Danny Green, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
U prosincu 2013 u Temeculi, Kalifornija, Tarver knocked out Jonathon Banks (29-2-1) in the seventh round, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world champion Steve Cunningham (28-7) u Newarku, New Jersey.
U 2006, Tarver starred as MasonThe LineDixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Danas, u dobi od 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Antonio Tarver, Jr. (5-0 (4 Kos), where they live in Tampa, Florida.
I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver primijetio. “What a team! Guys like Diego Corrales a Zab Juda didn’t make that Olympic Team. I gave Floyd Mayweather, Jr. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, Zarim Raheem and the others.
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Florida. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 bokser srednje kategorije Antonio Tarver, Jr. tamo. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited with Jimmy Williams, koji je 90 sada, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “SAD Boks Alumni Association,” which was created to champion a lifelong, obostrano korisne odnose između SAD-boksu i njegovih bivših, –boksači, dužnosnici, treneri i boks navijača — Alumni udruga spaja generacije prvaka, nadahnjuje i daje natrag u SAD-u boks budućim boks prvaka, i iz prstena.
I’m going online to join,” Tarver rekao. “I’m looking forward to attending an Alumni Association meeting, Lipanj 24-30 during the Junior Olympics in Charleston, Zapadna Virginia.
Everything that goes around, dolazi oko, in USA Boxing. Just ask future Hall of Fame candidate Antonio Tarver.

NEF ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF WRESTLING ESSAY CONTEST

Rumford, Mejn (Srpanj 20, 2016) - New England Borbe (NEF), America’s number one regional fight promotion, earlier today announced the winners of this year’s contest to attend the University of Southern Maine’s (USM) annual “Brawlin’ Lobster Wrestling Clinic.”

 

Isaiah Cogswell, a junior at More High School in Bath, Maine and Benjamin Mahoney, a junior at York High School in York, Mejn, will both have their tuition costs covered to attend this year’s clinic and will both receive a unique NEF prize package that includes tickets to “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLIANS” to be held on September 10th na Androscoggin banke Colisée u Lewiston, Mejn. The contest was sponsored by NEF and NEF professional featherweight mixed martial artist, Brandon “The Dream Killer” Bushaw. In order to enter, applicants needed to submit a 200-word essay outlining how attending the 2016 clinic would help them to achieve their wrestling goals. Cogswell and Mahoney were selected out of over 40 applicants.

 

“I want to attend this camp so I can achieve my goal of Maine heavyweight champion and this camp will help me not only keep my skills but to improve upon them,” wrote Mahoney, who has placed at both mid-states and the Atlantic Invitational tournament since he began wrestling on the varsity team his freshman year. “I would like to show to my coaches that I am willing to take the extra step to show leadership and experience, so that I could also be a team captain this year.”

 

“This camp would give me an opportunity to be exposed to more coaching styles and learn more about who I am as a wrestler,” Cogswell, a varsity wrestler and KVAC Champion, wrote in his essay. “I am not done, I still have work to do to reach my goals.”

 

This year’s dual sponsorship to send two wrestlers to the clinic was made possible by the contribution of Brandon Bushaw, a two-time state wrestling champion and member of the Maine Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame. After a successful career at Westbrook High School, Bushaw went on to wrestle at Michigan State University alongside teammates and UFC-standouts Rashad Evans and Gray Maynard. With almost 20 fights under his belt between his amateur and professional mixed martial arts careers, Bushaw has never forgotten his wrestling roots and the lessons he gained from competing in the sport.

 

Wrestling has molded my life on and off the mat since my freshman year of high school,” said Bushaw. “I look back and am so thankful to this day that Coach Walsh wouldn’t leave me alone about coming out for the Westbrook wrestling team all those years ago. If I can give back even one percent of what I got out of wrestling, it would be monumental to me. That’s why when I saw NEF was paying for a young wrestler to go to camp, I called Matt and told him I would like to send someone as well! I’m glad he accepted my offer and I hope that wrestling has the same impact on this young man’s life that it did mine!”

 

“Wrestling is one of the oldest and most effective martial arts in the world,"Izjavio NEF suvlasnik i provodadžija Matt Peterson. “Participating in the sport of wrestling has the potential to improve one’s performance in all areas of life. We’re proud to send these two deserving young men to the USM clinic this summer and hope this plays a part in helping them to achieve their goals both on and off the wrestling mat next season.”

 

Myself and our coaching staff appreciate NEF and Brandon for sponsoring these wrestlers and giving them an opportunity to attend our camp,” stated Mike Morin, USM Head Wrestling Coach, himself a two-time All-American, when reached for comment. “We are the only NCAA program in the state and will have coaches from all over the Northeast as clinicians. These sponsorships are allowing these wrestlers to participate and learn at a high level. Zauzvrat, this only helps the state as a whole grow and get better.

 

Sljedeći događaj New England se bori ', “NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight” odvija se na Petak, Kolovoz 5, 2016 u Cross Insurance Centru u Bangoru, Mejn. Ulaznice su na prodaju sada www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com or by calling the box office at 800.745.3000.
