Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Escudos
USA Boxing is family!”
Asociación de Graduados de boxeo EE.UU., Clase de 2018 inducido

COLORADO SPRINGS, Vuelta. (Diciembre 3, 2018) – Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Escudos 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 miembros Roy Jones Jr. y, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewarty tom Cleary.

 

 

 

El segundo Alumni Asociación de Boxeo Salón anual de EE.UU. de recepción de la Fama, celebrada en conjunción con el 2018 EE.UU. Boxeo Elite y los campeonatos nacionales de la juventud y junior y Prep abierto, Diciembre 2-8, será realizada en diciembre 7, en el Hotel Radisson (215 S. Templo de St.) en 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 o 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 (FIB, AMB & CMB) campeón de peso medio del mundo.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 KOs) registro, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 y 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, cuándo 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; reunión Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, entrenador Al Mitchell, y entrenador 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, Crews Franchon, 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, dentro y fuera del boxeo.

 

 

 

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,” dicho Chris Tofflemire, EE.UU. Alumni boxeo Director Ejecutivo Asociación. “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 año, 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.

 

 

 

Escudos, desafortunadamente, 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, en vivo desde el Centro de StubHub en Carson, California, contra Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Tristemente,” 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 Porra (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, además, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 de la mañana, 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 staffUSA 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.

Training Camp Almost Complete; A Confident and On-Weight Claressa Shields Ready for Hannah Rankin DAZN Showdown on November 17

Women’s superstar and two-division world champion Claressa Shields is in Florida with trainer John David Jackson, finishing up preparations for her showdown with Glasgow, Scotland’s Hannahh Rankin on Saturday, Noviembre 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Escudos (6-0, 2 KOs) will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships, and be looking to add the vacant WBC title, against Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) in the 10-round co-featured bout to Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller’s heavyweight showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Both fights, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramón Álvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias, will be broadcast live on DAZN.

 

 

 

23-year-old Shields, a former two-time Olympic Gold Medallist, has reignited interest in women’s boxing and become a ratings favorite for her nationally televised championship exploits. A proud native of Flint, Michigan, Shields mixes her brash pronouncements of greatness with a genuine and continued effort to inspire female athletes and render aid to members of her home community.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons.

 

Did the change of opponents from Hammer to Rankin affect your training?

 

 

 

I don’t train for my opponents, I just push to get the best out of me, física y mentalmente. If I’m the best ‘me,’ I don’t have to worry about who the opponent is. The change of opponents didn’t bother me at all; the worst thing about this camp for me was just all the date changes – constantly having to get my mind focused on the pace and timing of training depending on the fight date. I can’t wait to get in the ring!

 

You’ve fought at super middleweight 168 and recently at middleweight 160 libra. How is your training, diet and any other efforts different to make 160?

 

 

 

Training is always hard and I’m constantly learning. I’ve had a completely different diet this camp – a real change and a positive one for me. I’ve teamed up with Perfecting Athletes for my daily meals, y me siento genial. I’ve always tried to eat healthy but these folks are pros and are more educated in that field than myself. I have this magic drink that makes my stomach smile – I love it! It’s watermelon mixed with a green vegetable. I’m not going to tell you what vegetable it is, but I’ve been drinking it everyday, and I feel GREAT.

 

Your viewership numbers have been very strong. Why do you think people are drawn to you?

 

 

 

I believe that people are drawn to how real and honest I am, tanto dentro como fuera del ring. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I’m hard but I have a soft side also. And I think people are drawn to how I fightnot only do I talk a good game but I fight my aoff too! yo doy 1000% every time – I want to change the game and bring a whole new generation of fans to women’s boxing and boxing overall.

 

What do you know about your opponent Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

I know that my opponent Rankin is very tough and determined to be a world champion. I like her drive, I like her heart. I know that she has been in the ring as a sparring partner for many champions, one being Christina Hammer. So Rankin has seen some good fighters. But one thing is for sure – she has never seen a fighter like me. And since Hammer couldn’t fight because of her medical condition, in many ways the next best thing is to fight and beat her sparring partner and let Rankin tell Hammer what she’s in for when she returns!

 

What needs to be done to solve the Flint water crisis?

 

 

To solve the flint Water crisis, I think that people should continue to give water and also keep it in the news that there is a city in America where, unbelievably, US citizens don’t have clean water. And hopefully the president or our governor do something to fix all the pipes.

 

What’s the secret to becoming the best of the best in any sport?

 

 

 

I believe the secret starts with believing in yourself, being dedicated, working hard and just always striving to be better. I feel I’m my biggest critic when I train and box. It’s hard to watch film of my fights because even though I’m doing 97 things right I just can’t stand to see the 3 things I’m doing wrong. I’m a person who strives to pull out my full potential. It takes guts to be great. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving my goals, which includes being the GWOAT and creating equality for all women fighters when it comes to the money, opportunities and coverage the men get.

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons. Hammer has been named a champion in recess during her recovery. The two champions are now projected to do battle in the first quarter of 2019.

 

 

 

“Claressa is a once-in-a-generation athlete that transcends the sport,"Dijo su promotor, Dmitriy Salita. “She will take another step in her goal to achieve the status of GWOAT as she makes the first defense of her middleweight world titles against the skilled and durable Hannah Rankin.”

 

 

 

A bonafide women’s superstar and TV ratings favorite, 23-year-old “T-Rex” Shields is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and already a world champion in two weight divisions. In her fourth professional fight, she won the IBF and WBC Super Middleweight Championships in August 2017 with a dominant stoppage of Germany’s Nikki Adler.

Claressa has lofty goals and I have no doubt that she’s going to achieve every one of them, including fighting and defeating Christina Hammer early next year. I expect Shields vs Rankin to be an action-packed fight that fans will enjoy tremendously.

 

 

 

28-year-old Rankin put in an impressive and brave performance while losing a challenge for Alicia Napoleon’s WBA Super Middleweight Championship in August of this year. Antes de eso, she picked up the WBC Silver Middleweight Championship with a dominant victory over Finland’s Sanna Turunen in June.

 

 

 

“I’m excited about the fight and proud to be representing Scotland on such a big stage,” said Rankin. “In boxing, nothing is impossible and on November 17, it will be just us in there when the bell rings and I think it’s going to be one hell of a fight.”

El peso pluma de Houston, Roma Martínez, representa la próxima ola de boxeadoras de EE. UU.

PRESIONE SOLTAR
Para publicación inmediata
Fuera para hacer una declaración en los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud de Verano en Buenos Aires 2018

Octubre. 6-18 en Argentina

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Vuelta. (Octubre 8, 2018) — Peso pluma de Houston Roma Martinez, que representa la próxima ola de boxeadoras de EE. UU., se encuentra actualmente en Argentina para hacer una declaración en los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud de Verano en Buenos Aires 2018.

 

 

El Verano Joven Juegos Olímpicos de Buenos Aires 2018 continúa hasta octubre. 18 en el Parque Roca Centro de Deportes en Argentina.

 

 

 

Martínez, de 18 años, comenzó a boxear hace seis años., cuando su padrastro entró en su vida, llevarla a un gimnasio de boxeo local para ayudarla a evitar posibles problemas, también para defenderse.

 

 

 

Ella es una estudiante en línea en la Universidad de Saint Thomas en Houston., planeando especializarse en negocios, y Roma ha podido equilibrar su apretada agenda por una sencilla razón. “No tengo mucha vida social,” Ella admitió, “por lo que es fácil para mí capacitarme y estudiar.”

 

 

Argentina es el segundo país extranjero al que ha viajado después de haber competido en noviembre pasado en India.. Aunque tiene una carrera amateur relativamente limitada, Martínez ha logrado capturar los máximos honores en seis eventos nacionales: 2016 Nacionales de boxeo de EE. UU., 2014 & 2015 Vence al universo, 20-15 Guante de oro para mujer, 2-15 Nacionales de los Juegos Olímpicos Juveniles, y 2014 Guantes marrones.

 

 

 

Como muchos de sus compañeros del equipo de EE. UU., además de oponentes de todo el mundo, Roma espera poder aprovechar una actuación impresionante en Buenos Aires para mejorar sus posibilidades de clasificarse finalmente para el 2020 Juegos Olímpicos en Japón.

 

 

 

“Los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud son lo más importante de mi carrera porque espero competir en el 2020 Juegos Olímpicos,” Martinez dijo. “Los Juegos Olímpicos de la Juventud son casi tan grandes como los Juegos Olímpicos, solo los atletas más jóvenes compiten. Tomo las cosas un dia a la vez, pero tengo metas para hacer las olimpiadas, ganar una medalla de oro, y luego convertirse en profesional y ganar un título mundial.

 

 

“Esta es mi última competencia juvenil. Este diciembre subiré a la División Élite. Habrá una diferencia de edad (de sus oponentes) y más competencia internacional, pero necesito esa experiencia para alcanzar mis metas.”

 

 

 

Roma, ella dice, es un boxeador técnico que ocasionalmente ejerce presión. Su boxeador favorito es el gran “Azúcar” Ray Leonard y ella admira Nicola Adams (2012 & 2016 Medallista de oro olímpico de Gran Bretaña) y Mikaela Mayer (2016 Olímpico de EE. UU.). La Roma ha aprovechado las sesiones de sparring con Adams y Mayer, respectivamente, en Houston y Colorado Springs.

 

 

 

Martínez cree que el boxeo femenino está en alza y espera su futuro. “Cuantas más mejores boxeadoras signifiquen cosas más importantes para nosotros,” Martínez agregó, “Tendremos más tiempo frente a la televisión y ganaremos más dinero.”

 

 

 

Roma le da crédito a USA Boxing por aprender a ser disciplinada y está agradecida por el excelente entrenamiento que ha recibido.. Martínez planea viajar mucho en el futuro y cuando obtenga su título en negocios, Roma está decidida a usarlo en su beneficio, ser dueño de un restaurante y, posiblemente, un gimnasio para que pueda permanecer en el boxeo después de colgar los guantes en la calle.
