Juara Kelas Welter Tak Terbantahkan Jessica McCaskill mencari nama Terbesar di Tinju
McCaskill mengincar pertarungan dengan Taylor dan Shields |
Chicago, SAYA L (Bulan Maret 17, 2021) – Baru saja meraih kemenangan kedua berturut-turut atas Hall of Famer masa depan, Cecilia Braekhus, juara kelas welter yang tak terbantahkan, Jessica McCaskill ingin melawan nama-nama besar di sirkuit wanita. McCaskill dari Chicago, dengan mudah mengalahkan Braekhus yang legendaris dengan skor 100-89, 99-90 dan 98-91 untuk memenangkan kelimanya berturut-turut dan meningkatkan rekornya menjadi 10-2. “Saya merasa agresi saya sangat bagus, hanya menjaga tekanan tanpa henti, dan kami siap untuk apa selanjutnya. Dia berlari masuk, dan memadati dirinya sendiri, dan saya pikir jika dia akan berlari masuk, Saya harus melepaskan setidaknya satu atau dua tembakan, dan dia terus melakukannya, jadi saya terus melakukannya juga. Saya ingin bergerak dan menunjukkan beberapa sudut lagi, tapi dia terus langsung masuk, jadi dia ada di sana,” kata McCaskill. |
“Perkelahian dengan Katie Taylor mungkin menjadi agenda berikutnya. Jika itu apa adanya, itu akan bagus. Jika itu tidak berhasil, lalu ada beberapa nama lain di luar sana. Adapun Claressa Shields, McCaskill berpikir pertarungan dengannya bisa terjadi, “Itu bisa menjadi kemungkinan jika Claressa bisa turun ke 147 pon. Pertama, dia berkata bahwa dia tidak akan melepaskan berat badan apapun, dan sekarang dia mengatakan dia akan melakukannya, jadi kita hanya harus melihat apakah mereka akan menganggap ini serius.” Kata promotor McCaskill, Leon Margules Warriors Tinju, “Jessica membuktikan lagi bahwa dia adalah salah satu petarung top di dunia. Dia sekarang telah mendominasi petarung yang telah lama menjadi pound untuk petinju top. Kami akan senang melawan siapa pun, dan pertarungan dengan Katie Taylor pasti akan memiliki hasil yang berbeda dari pertarungan pertama mereka. Pertarungan dengan Taylor atau Claressa akan menjadi pertarungan bersejarah karena akan mempertemukan dua juara bertahan yang tak terbantahkan satu sama lain.” Foto/Pertandingan Tinju |

BOXER WANITA MUDAH MENuntut KEADILAN DAN PLATFORM
Atlet wanita top tinju tidak memiliki “rumah”, tidak ada jaringan untuk memamerkan bakat mereka |
UNTUK SEGERA NEW YORK — Saat perempuan terus membuat langkah menuju kesetaraan di seluruh industri, tinju dan mitra medianya tetap di masa lalu dengan mencabut hak perempuan dari kesempatan yang adil untuk menunjukkan keterampilan mereka dan mencari nafkah. Pada tahun yang sama ketika Amerika memilih Wakil Presiden wanita pertamanya, wanita kulit berwarna, atlet wanita elit yang menduduki peringkat teratas dunia tidak memiliki platform televisi atau serial tinju reguler. Tidak ada tempat bermain yang tidak adil ini yang lebih nyata daripada di Amerika Serikat dan Amerika Utara. Mayoritas wanita papan atas dalam tinju tidak pernah bertarung di 2020, atau belum bertarung sejak Januari. Pandemi telah memukul wanita dalam tinju bahkan lebih keras daripada pria. Gambarnya tidak cerah sebelum Covid-19 dan, tanpa tindakan, tidak ada alasan untuk percaya bahwa itu akan membaik. Ini berdampak pada semua wanita di tinju Amerika, dari bintang Claressa Shields dan Amanda Serrano, untuk juara dunia bertahan, untuk petarung enam ronde dan empat ronde. Selain segelintir atlet, kebanyakan petinju wanita harus melakukan pekerjaan penuh waktu atau paruh waktu untuk memenuhi kebutuhan. Amanda Serrano, Heather Hardy, Ava Knight dan yang lainnya telah mengejar peluang di MMA untuk menambah penghasilan mereka dan menghindari ketidakaktifan. Claressa Shields, wanita paling terkenal dalam sejarah amatir Amerika, dua kali peraih medali emas Olimpiade, dan daya tarik yang terbukti, saat ini tanpa platform dan baru saja mengumumkan kontrak multi-tahun dengan Professional Fighters League. Juara bersatu dari Flint, Michigan, mengatakan kepada The Athletic bahwa, “Sekarang (tinju) olahraga seksis. Ini seksis dengan peluang yang kami berikan. Ini seksis dengan waktu TV. Ini seksis dengan berapa banyak kita dibayar. ketiga. Tidak apa-apa bagi seorang bintang tinju wanita untuk mencoba tangannya di MMA. Mereka seharusnya tidak dipaksa untuk melakukannya karena kurangnya kesempatan.” “Para wanita ini secara konsisten memberikan pertarungan hebat dan jumlah pemirsa yang solid,” kata Lou DiBella, yang mempromosikan lebih banyak wanita daripada entitas promosi AS lainnya. “Mereka menempatkan orang di kursi, dan penayangan acara mereka sering menyaingi para pria. Ini bukan petarung level klub. Mereka adalah juara dunia elit dan, tanpa televisi, tanpa platform biasa, mereka tidak bisa aman secara finansial atau membangun basis penggemar apa pun. Sungguh luar biasa bahwa tinju wanita mengembangkan kumpulan bakatnya dan meningkatkan statusnya, mengingat langkanya televisi dan slot streaming yang disediakan untuk petarung wanita. Ini adalah bukti ketangguhan dan dedikasi para atlet tinju wanita, yang pantas mendapatkan yang lebih baik.” Promotor lokal, yang berkecimpung dalam bisnis menumbuhkan pejuang dan mengisi kursi, dapat menawarkan tempat di kartu mereka dan eksposur regional, tapi dompet sangat terbatas tanpa pendapatan televisi. Pejuang wanita’ dompet sering terbatas pada persentase tiket yang mereka jual keluar dari tangan. Di tingkat atas, wanita dilewatkan. Heather Hardy, seorang pejuang DiBella Entertainment, telah melihat perbedaan pertumbuhan petinju dari kedua jenis kelamin. “Pada konferensi pers, Saya duduk di kursi paling ujung, dengan sisa pertarungan undercard,” Kata Hardy. “Saya melihat anak laki-laki pergi dari duduk di sebelah saya di ujung meja, untuk pindah ke kartu utama, kemudian co-main, dan kemudian acara utama, tapi kursi saya tidak pernah pindah. Tidak peduli berapa banyak tekanan yang saya dapatkan, tidak peduli berapa banyak pertarungan yang aku menangkan, aku tidak pernah pindah. Seksisme sistemik tidak memungkinkan saya untuk bergerak.” “Bukannya kami adalah organisasi yang terpisah seperti WNBA. Kami hanya diberikan peluang token, bertarung di kartu yang sama, sering dalam pertarungan yang jauh lebih kompetitif daripada pria, dan masih tidak diperlakukan dengan adil,” Kata Hardy. “Kami tidak memiliki tempat atau rumah profesional kami sendiri.” “Ini mengalir ke calon petinju wanita dan program amatir,” Lanjut DiBella. “Wanita muda di tinju perlu melihat wanita lain di panggung besar. Mereka perlu melihat wanita yang terlihat seperti mereka di televisi dan di platform streaming. Mereka perlu tahu bahwa jika mereka mengejar karir tinju, akan ada cukup banyak kesempatan untuk terlihat memamerkan bakat mereka, untuk upah yang adil. Jika wanita mampu menjadi headline acara tinju, atau mampu menjual persentase yang signifikan dari gerbang hidup, mereka seharusnya tidak dibayar sepuluh hingga dua puluh persen dari apa yang dibayarkan kepada pria dengan kedudukan yang sama. Kami tidak mengirim pesan yang benar di sini, dan tidak ada alasan bagus untuk itu di abad ke-21.” Kumpulan bakat yang tersedia untuk wanita di peringkat pro lebih kecil, tapi itu memaksa pertarungan terbaik. Ini memaksa wanita untuk bertarung di luar kelas berat mereka. “Jessica McCaskill baru saja memenangkan gelar dunia terpadu, dan ingin melawan saya di 147,” said Amanda Serrano, juara dunia tujuh divisi. “Dia memanggilku di 147! Ini agak menyedihkan. Baik bagi kita jika itu masuk akal, tapi kenyataannya adalah, mereka memanggil juara di 126. Itu adalah empat kelas berat yang berbeda untuk naik. Pria tidak harus melakukan itu! Wanita terus-menerus dipaksa untuk berkompromi dengan diri sendiri hanya untuk mendapatkan kesempatan.” Kumpulan bakat tidak akan meningkat kecuali generasi muda terinspirasi oleh wanita di televisi dan streaming – wanita yang bisa bertarung juga, dan seringkali lebih baik dari, pria yang ada di televisi sekarang. Saatnya berhenti bertanya dengan baik. Saatnya petinju wanita menuntut keadilan dan stabilitas, dan terserah eksekutif jaringan, media, dan mereka yang mengontrol akses ke platform media, untuk berhenti hidup di masa lalu. Sudah waktunya bagi wanita dalam tinju untuk berjuang untuk diri mereka sendiri dan untuk hak untuk mencari nafkah. Dan sekarang saatnya beraksi.

I really want this and I will be working hard every day. My goal for now is to be on Team USA for the second time. I want to fight internationally and be Number 1 in the world.”
Brown-El has definitive long-range goals in boxing, starting with the Olympics and finishing as the face of women’s boxing.
“If I win a gold medal at the 2024 Olimpiade, maybe a second time in 2028, after that I think that will open up great opportunities for me,” the prodigy commented. “I think it’ll especially help me in the pro ranks. Winning a gold medal is my biggest goal right now.
“I want to be the greatest female boxer in the world. I want to be known and I want to make a statement for all females. I really want to shock the world. I eat, sleep, and breath boxing. This is not just a sport for me, this is a lifestyle.”
