“Fomos parte de um fim de semana mágico,” dito no Valenti, Consultor de projetos especiais de boxe dos EUA. “Vinny e Micky cumprimentaram muitos de seus fãs. Não há dúvida de que esses dois guerreiros definem o que é a USA Boxing Alumni Association.: reunindo tantos membros de tantos anos passados ​​que construíram o futuro para tantos jovens boxeadores. Foi especialmente gratificante ver boxeadores antigos, treinadores e dirigentes reúnem-se em Vinny e Micky.

CLARESSA SHIELDS INDUCTED INTO USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME

Deixe um comentário
Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing is family!”
EUA Boxe Alumni Association, Classe de 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dezembro 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 membros Roy Jones Jr. e, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewarte Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

A segunda recepção anual do Hall of Fame da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA, realizada em conjunto com o 2018 EUA Campeonatos Nacionais de Elite e Juventude de Boxe e Juniores e Preparação, Dezembro 2-8, será realizada em dezembro 7, no hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) em 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 ou 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) campeão dos médios do mundo.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 KOs) registro, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 e 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, quando Savannah Marshall (Inglaterra) 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; reunião Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, treinador Al Mitchell, e treinador 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 — me, 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, in and out of boxing.

 

 

 

“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,” dito Chris tofflemire, EUA Boxe Alumni Association Diretor Executivo. “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.”

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 anos, 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, infelizmente, 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, Califórnia, contra Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Infelizmente,” 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 Cassetete (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, também, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 sou., 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.

O treinador de boxe GOAT….. Emanuel Steward

Deixe um comentário
EUA Boxe Alumni Association, Classe de 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – O grande Tommy Hearns & o falecido Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 19, 2018) – O atrasado Emanuel Steward, indiscutivelmente o maior treinador de boxe de todos os tempos, é um membro da classe de 2018 sendo introduzido no Hall da Fama da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA.

 

 

 

A segunda recepção anual do Hall of Fame da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA, realizada em conjunto com o 2018 EUA Campeonatos Nacionais de Elite e Juventude de Boxe e Juniores e Preparação, Dezembro 2-8, será realizada em dezembro 7, no hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) em Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward era um boxeador, treinador extraordinário, e comentarista da HBO até sua morte prematura em 2012 com a idade de 68. Sua carreira no boxe culminou com sua entrada no Hall da Fama do Boxe Internacional em 1996.

 

 

 

Com a idade de 12, Manny se mudou com sua mãe da Virgínia Ocidental para Detroit, onde sua vida logo se transformou em boxe. Como um pugilista amador, ele compilou um 94-3 registro, com destaque para um desempenho da medalha de ouro no 1963 Torneio Nacional de Luvas de Ouro como peso galo, mas ele decidiu não tentar a equipe olímpica de boxe dos EUA.

 

 

 

Em 1971, Steward tornou-se treinador de meio período no Kronk Gym, onde ele eventualmente guiou muitos dos melhores boxeadores amadores do país. O Kronk Gym mais tarde se tornou propriedade do Steward's e ele o transformou em uma das academias de boxe mais famosas e bem-sucedidas do mundo.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward também atuou como diretor nacional de treinamento para o boxe nos EUA no início dos anos 2000.

 

 

 

Ao longo de sua incrível carreira, Administrador supostamente treinado 41 campeões do mundo, talvez, os mais notáveis ​​foram Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis e Wladimir Klitschko. Ele também treinou Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, e Mike McCallum. Manny também treinou um jovem rapper de Detroit, Eminem, como caixa no ginásio Kronk.

 

 

 

O último campeão mundial treinado por Manny foi Adônis “Super-homem” Stevenson, que continua sendo o atual Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) Campeão mundial dos meio-pesados ​​desde 2013.

 

 

 

“Emanuel sempre dizia, nocautes vender!” Stevenson lembrou-se com carinho. “Ele também foi o primeiro a me dizer, ‘Você será uma estrela e campeão mundial. Apenas não escute pessoas com más intenções, porque você tem talento natural.’ Ele acreditava em mim, mesmo que algumas pessoas não pensassem que eu me tornaria um campeão do mundo.”

 

 

 

“Emanuel Steward impactou a vida de tantos que atravessaram as portas do Kronk Gym,” dito Chris tofflemire, EUA Boxe Alumni Association Diretor Executivo. “Embora ele seja mais reconhecido por sua conquista no nível profissional, seu impacto foi significativo nos amadores. Manny serve como um modelo de treinador para o boxe EUA hoje, e seu impacto será sentido por muito tempo. A Associação de Alumni de Boxe dos EUA apoia esmagadoramente sua indução e espera homenageá-lo como parte da classe Hall of Fame deste ano.”

“Por anos, ele participava do meu torneio nacional de luvas de prata que eu patrocinava e organizava na cidade de Kansa, apenas para mostrar seu apoio ao programa para jovens.,” adicionou presidente do encaixotamento dos EUA Banheiro Marrom adicionado. “Todo ano eu dizia para ele me avisar se ele estava vindo, para que eu pudesse VIP ele, e todo ano ele me ignorava e aparecia silenciosamente. Eu o notaria na multidão. Eu o expulsava e depois fizemos a mesma coisa no ano seguinte.

 

 

 

“Eu também costumava vê-lo em grandes lutas e ele sempre me fazia sentir especial dizendo que minha empresa salvou o boxe nos anos setenta e oitenta, fornecendo segurança, bem feito, equipamento de boxe com preço justo para o esporte. Ninguém mais me deu esse reconhecimento. Ele era humilde e não um malandro, meu tipo de cara.”

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward deixou sua marca na terra, não apenas como uma personalidade multifacetada no boxe, mas ele também é lembrado por seu magnânimo trabalho de caridade em Detroit, em que ele ajudou jovens na busca pela educação.

 

 

 

Em resumo, embora, ele ensinou boxe, e ninguém nunca fez isso melhor.

Simply the best….. Roy Jones, Jr.

Deixe um comentário
EUA Boxe Alumni Association, Classe de 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Setembro 6, 2018) – Living legend Roy Jones, Jr., universally recognized as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, leads a celebrated quintet of Class of 2018 inductees into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

A segunda recepção anual do Hall of Fame da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA, realizada em conjunto com o 2018 EUA Campeonatos Nacionais de Elite e Juventude de Boxe e Juniores e Preparação, Dezembro 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, no hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) in Salk Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Além de Jones, a Classe de 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (profissional) campeões, Andre Ward e Claressa Shields, as well as former USA Boxing National Director of Coaching Emanuel Steward and veteran USA Boxing official Tom Cleary. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.

 

 

 

The charter class inducted last year included Muhammad Ali e Evander Holyfield, as well as veteran coaches Roosevelt Sanders e Tom Coulter.

 

 

 

“I am honored to be selected for induction into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Jones commented, “especially as a member of this great class with my fellow inductees.

 

 

 

“Amateur boxing gave me the chance to learn life skills as well as face every other possible scenario inside of the ring.”

 

 

 

Jones, ironicamente, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (Joe) Frazierand just felt as though Ali and I had the same mental concept on life,” Jones explained.

 

 

 

Jones went on to become one of the best amateur boxers in the world, compiling a reported 121-13 registro, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

No 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Coreia Do Sul, Jones reached the championship final of the light middleweight division against Park Si-Hun, of South Korea. Jones suffered arguably the worst decision in boxing history, losing 3-2, despite outpunching his opponent, 86 para 32 landed punches, and he was forced to settle for a silver medal. Even his opponent admitted that Jones won their fight, leading the AIBA to later suspend the three judges who selected the hometown fighter as the winner.

 

 

 

How disgraceful was this decision? Jones was selected as the Val Barker Trophy winner as the best boxer of the 1988 Olympics and, due to controversy, the scoring system for Olympic boxing was changed, replacing the 20-point must system with electronic scoring.

 

 

 

“I was angered,” Jones admitted, “yet promoted to prove that I was the best fighter there, and in the world, at that time.”

 

 

 

Jones made his professional debut May 6, 1989, at home in Pensacola, Florida, in a scheduled eight-round bout, in which RJJ stopped Ricky Randall na segunda rodada. His long, glorious journey has produced a remarkable 66-9 (47 KOs) registro profissional, highlighted by nine major world titles in four different weight classes.

 

 

 

Em 2003, Jones defeated John Ruiz by way of a 12-round unanimous decision to become the first former world middleweight champion to become world heavyweight title holder in more than a century.

 

 

 

The possessor of exceptional hand and foot speed, atlética, movimento e reflexos, Jones went undefeated through his first 34 lutas profissionais, 22-3 (14) em lutas pelo título mundial. Against former, present or future world champions, Jones was 19-9 (8 KOs) and included among his victims were greats such as Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Mike McCallum,Vinnie Pazienza, Virgil Hill, Antonio Tarver e Felix Trinidad.

 

 

 

Hoje, the 49-year-old Jones, technically speaking, is still an active fighter. He also has two promotional companies and gyms, located in Pensacola and Las Vegas, trains several pro boxers and serves as a color commentator for HBO Boxing. He recently opened gyms in South Africa.

 

 

 

For the past two years, Jones has hosted the “Future Stars of Boxing Tournament” em Las Vegas, showcasing some of the best amateur boxers in the world.

 

 

 

“Hosting the tournament in Las Vegas gives me the opportunity to give back to amateur boxing,” Jones explained. “It’s a great experience for the boxers and it reminds them that who they may have or still look up to, are watching them as well.”

“When USA Boxing alumni discuss their favorite fighters,” dito Chris tofflemire, EUA Boxe Alumni Association Diretor Executivo, “Roy Jones is near the top of everyone’s list. His spectacular talent, dedication to his craft, and infectious personality make him a no-brainer to headline this year’s Hall of Fame class. He continues to give back to amateur boxing and support the next generation. Roy deserves to be celebrated for all he has accomplished, and we look forward to honoring him in December.”

Quotes of Note from other World Champions

 

George Foreman: “(Jones) hits like a heavyweight and moved like a lightweight.”

 

Montell Griffin: “Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) was no comparison as far as speed. Roy was much faster.”

 

Mike McCallum: “(Jones is) the greatest fighter of all time.”

 

 

 

 

If he ever hangs-up his gloves for good, Roy Jones, Jr. will be a first ballot inductee into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. There may never be another boxer quite like RJJ.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Agosto 20, 2018) – One of the classiest boxers to ever lace-up a pair of gloves is Dr. Wilbert “Skeeter” McClure, who is the only American boxer to capture an Olympic gold-medal and also earn a Doctor of Philosophy degree (Ph.D).

 

 

 

“When I think of ‘Skeeter’ McClure,” USA Boxing president John Brown dito, “I think of the grassroots of our sport. When ‘Skeeter’ was a young boy growing up in Toledo, Ohio, he had a twinkle in his eye and a desire to box. We would learn later in life how talented, gifted and passionate ‘Skeeter’ McClure was about the sport of boxing.

 

 

 

“It would be impossible for me, somebody who has spent his entire life in boxing, to find a better representative of our sport than ‘Skeeter’ McClure.”

 

 

 

Apelidado “Skeeter” because his father thought he looked no bigger than a mosquito at birth, McClure was born October 29, 1938 in Toledo, Ohio, and he developed into the perfect example of brains and brawn.

 

 

 

The now 79-year-old McClure earned degrees in literature and philosophy in 1961 from the University of Toledo and a doctorate in psychology from Wayne State University in Detroit. He was a professor at Northeastern University and late became a Massachusetts state boxing commissioner. Em 2012, he was honored for his life’s work by the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice at Harvard Law School.

 

 

 

McClure had an incredible boxing career, highlighted by his gold-medal performance at the 1960 Jogos Olímpicos, defeating his Italian opponent in Rome, Carmelo Bossi, to capture the light middleweight gold medal, despite fighting with a severely damaged hand suffered in the semifinals. The two other American gold medalists that year was his roommate and team co-captain, Cassius Clay (aka Muhammad Ali) and Eddie Crook, Jr.

 

 

 

Durante sua ilustre carreira amadora, McClure was dominant in 1959-1960, winning gold medals at the 1959 Pan-American Games, two-time National AAU tournaments, 1958 International Diamond Belt. He was also named Outstanding U.S. Amateur Boxer in 1959.

 

no Valenti, Projetos Especiais Consultor para os EUA Boxe, has known McClure as long as anybody alive, “I had the pleasure of meeting ‘Skeeter’ McClure in the late eighties,” Valenti noted, “and since the day I met him I’ve held him in the highest esteem. I cannot find another boxer who has achieved what ‘Skeeter’ has during his life in boxing. He was a talented amateur boxer who won at every level and, beyond that, he served in the U.S. Exército, earned a Ph.D in psychology, and he also had a long career as a college professor. One thing that stands out among his accomplishments is that he’s the kindest, most sincere gentlemen I’ve ever met.

 

 

 

“During his tenure on the Massachusetts Boxing Commission, he fully understood the sport and what was needed. As a promoter, I was never busier than when he oversaw boxing in Massachusetts. One of the highlights of my life is when I introduced ‘Skeeter’ to crowds at our events, after listening to his lists of accomplishments, how the crowd always gave him a standing ovation.

 

 

 

“Dr. Wilbert ‘Skeeter” McClure is a true champion and a class act. No American boxer will ever accomplish what he did.”

 

 

 

“I first met Wilbert at the 1964 National AAU Championships,” 1972 medalhista olímpico de bronze Jesse Valdez comentou. “I had just turned 16. I had won the National Golden Gloves for the first time and went to the National AAU and got beaten by Quincy Daniels, who had won a bronze medalist at the 1960 Olympics with Wilbert. I said hello but really didn’t know Wilbert. I was young, shy and kept to myself. I didn’t realize he was an Olympic gold medal winner until later, while taking with the other guys. I was really impressed by his background.

 

 

 

“Wilbert is somebody kids today need to look up to. He’s a great example for kids coming up and dreaming about winning an Olympic gold medal. And Wilbert went on to get an education. He’s a great example for kids today in the program (EUA Boxe).”

 

 

 

Legendary amateur boxing coach Roosevelt Sanders, who last year was inducted into the first class of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame, lost to McClure in the 1960 USA Olympic Trials.

 

 

 

“Ele (McClure) has always been nice to me,” Sanders added. “eu não o conhecia, pessoalmente, but met him, fought him, and saw him fight on television. He’s a smart guy, always a gentleman, and being a U.S. Marinho, we were taught to absorb that.”

 

 

 

Em 1961, McClure turned pro and he was billed as the next Sugar Ray Robinson, largely due their similar boxing style. No endorsements, embora, and the odds were really stacked against McClure reaching the same heights as a pro that he had attained as an amateur. During the early part of his professional career, McClure served in the U.S. Exército, attended college and was married with a baby. After only 14 lutas profissionais, the mismanaged McClure was rushed into difficult matches against the likes of future world champions and Hall of Famers Luis Rodriguez (duas vezes) e Jose Torres, plus No. 1 contendor Ruben “Furacão” Carreteiro (duas vezes), a partir de 1963 para 1966. McClure was on the losing end of four of those five fights, all by decisions, but he did fight Carter to a draw.

 

 

 

McClure retired from the ring in 1970 com um 24-9 (12 KOs) registro profissional. He eventually resettled in the Boston suburb of Chestnut Hill, where he taught at Northeastern University and later was a consultant to industry and government, teaching administrators how to deal with people.

USA Boxing Alumni Association Profile: JASON “Big Six” ESTRADA

Deixe um comentário

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Julho 30, 2018) – 2004 U.S. Olímpico Jason “Big Six” Estrada 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. Desafio. “Big Six” 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. no 2004 Jogos Olímpicos em Atenas, Grécia.

 

 

 

After qualifying for the 2004 U.S. Equipe de Boxe Olímpico, 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. Infelizmente, 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, mentalmente, 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 (Washington DC.) e Mike Stafford (Cincinnati). I’m cool with fighters I met in the amateurs like Andre Dirrell. The guy I’m closest with is George Garcia, who I fought and beat nine times. He’s one of my coolest friends, embora. 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, compilando um 20-6 (6 KOs) registro, as an unusually quick-handed, slick-moving heavyweight. Hoje, 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 anos atrás. “Eu amo isso, 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 – de volta, 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) e agora, 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, Irlanda (3 vezes), 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 “Big Six” Estrada, one of America’s most decorated amateur boxers of all-time, and a proud USA Boxing Alumni Association member.
