על ידי פתיחת דלתות ושבירת מכשולים, קלרסה הפכה למודל לחיקוי אמיתי עבור צעירים בכל רחבי העולם, בתוך ומחוץ לאגרוף.

 

 

 

“זה מרגיש טוב להיות מודל לחיקוי עבורם (נקבות), וגם עבור כל כך הרבה מתאגרפים גברים,” מגנים ציינו. “איגרוף הוא בעידן אחר ואני רק רוצה להקל על בנות שעולות, אז כשהם הופכים למקצוענים, אגרוף יהיה קרוב יותר לשוויון.”

למרות כל הכבוד והשבחים, היא קיבלה בצורה כה עשירה, שילדס לא שכחה מאיפה הכל התחיל, והיא עדיין מעורבת באופן פעיל באגרוף ארה"ב.

 

 

 

“אני שומרת על קשר עם הרבה מהספורטאיות ונותנת להן עצות אם הן שואלות אותי,” הוסיפה קלרסה. “נסעתי גם לקולורדו לחמישה ימים כדי להיות מוטיבציה ונואם מרכזי של התקווה האולימפית הבאה. אחרי שהקריירה שלי תסתיים בעוד בערך 15 שנים, אני רוצה להיות מאמן אגרוף ולהוביל את נבחרת הנשים ליותר מדליות זהב אולימפיות, אם תינתן לו ההזדמנות. אני גם רוצה להיות מורה בבית ספר ויועצת לנוער.”

 

 

 

שילדס, למרבה הצער, אינה מסוגלת להשתתף בקבלת הפנים של היכל התהילה של יום שישי בלילה הזה, כי היא נמצאת באימונים עמוקים להגנת התארים שלה בערב שבת ב-HBO, בשידור חי ממרכז StubHub בקרסון, קליפורניה, נגד פנמקה הרמנס (9-1).

 

 

 

“למרבה הצער,” סיכם מגנים, “אני לא יכול להיות שם אבל, אם הייתי שם, הייתי אומר: תודה לאגרוף USA על האמונה בי בגיל של 16. זה היה כבוד לייצג את אמריקה, לא רק פעם אחת אלא פעמיים באולימפיאדה! אני מודה למאמן בילי (וולש) על שגרם לי לחפור עמוק, בכך שהוא נאלץ להתמודד עם דרכיו ובדיחותיו האיריות, גם לשינוי תרבות האגרוף בארה"ב. תודה מיוחדת למאמן קיי, גַם, אני לא יכול לספור על הידיים שלי בכמה ימים התאמנו 1 לִפנֵי הַצָּהֳרַייִם, כמה פעמים דפקתי על דלת החדר שלו ורצתי, כמה פעמים הוא נאלץ לקחת ממני את הטלפון שלי כי בכיתי או שיש לי בעיה משפחתית. הוא המאמן שיכולתי לספר לו הכל, והוא גם בירך אותי בידע שלו באגרוף וגרם לי להרגיש תמיד בטוח בעצמי כשהוא בפינה. אגרוף ארה"ב הוא לא רק סגל – ארה"ב אגרוף הוא משפחה! למרות שדיברתי עם כמה מילים מתיו ג'ונסון וצוות אחר, אני מודה להם על שהקשו עליי ודאגו שטיפלתי באחריות שלי. אהבה לכל צוות האגרוף של ארה"ב, אני באמת אסיר תודה.”

 

 

 

קלרסה שילדס היא הרבה יותר מאלופת עולם ואולימפית, היא גם מעשה כיתתי, בדיוק מה שצריך כל כך היום.

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

להשאיר תגובה

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, נובמבר 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, קנזס.

 

 

 

שילדס (6-0, 2 קוס) 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, רמון אלברז, 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, מישיגן, 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, פיזי ונפשי. 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 קילו. 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, ואני מרגיש מצוין. 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, הן בתוך ומחוץ לזירה. 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 fight — not only do I talk a good game but I fight my a– off too! אני נותן 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.

Women’s Superstar Claressa Shields to Defend IBF and WBA Middleweight Championships and Looks to Add WBC Belt Against Scotland’s Hannah Rankin, Live on DAZN on November 17

להשאיר תגובה

ביום שבת, נובמבר 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, קנזס, superstar two-division women’s world champion Claressa Shields of Flint, מישיגן, will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships and be looking to add the vacant WBC title against Hannahh Rankin from Glasgow, סקוטלנד.

 

 

 

The 10-round Shields (6-0, 2 קוס), and Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) battle will serve as the co-featured bout to Brooklyn-born heavyweight contender Jarrell Miller’s WBA World Heavyweight Championship showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

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,” said her promoter, דמיטרי סליטה. “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. לאחר מכן, in June of this year and in just her sixth pro fight, she dropped down to 160 pounds and won the IBF and WBA Middleweight titles with an exciting unanimous decision over Hannah Gabriels.

 

 

 

“I’m so excited to be able to give my fans another chance to see me defend my championship this year and to have the opportunity to win the WBC middleweight title on November 17,” said Shields. “I appreciate the efforts of Salita Promotions, my manager Mark Taffet, and Matchroom Boxing in putting this fight together so quickly. I will be in great shape and will provide a great performance.”

 

 

 

“I want to thank Salita Promotions and Matchroom Boxing for providing Claressa with another chance to fight this year and an opportunity to attain a third middleweight world championship,” said Mark Taffet, manager of Claressa Shields. “Claressa is hungry and motivated to put on a great performance on November 17 on DAZN. 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. לפני ש, 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.”

Houston featherweight Roma Martinez represents next wave of USA female boxers

Out to make statement at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

אוקטובר. 6-18 בארגנטינה

 

מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (אוקטובר 8, 2018) — Houston featherweight Roma Martinez, who represents the next wave of USA female boxers, is currently In Argentina to make a statement at the ongoing Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018.

 

 

The Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 continues through Oct. 18 at Parque Polidesportivo Roca in Argentina.

 

 

 

The 18-year-old Martinez started boxing six years ago, when her step-father came into her life, taking her to a local boxing gym to help keep her out of potential trouble, as well to defend herself.

 

 

 

She is an online student at the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, planning to major in business, and Roma has been able to balance her busy schedule for a simple reason. “I don’t have much of a social life,” she admitted, “so it’s easy for me to train and study.”
 

 

Argentina is the second foreign country she’s traveled to having competed last November in India. Although she has a relatively limited amateur career, Martinez has managed to capture top honors at six national events: 2016 USA Boxing Nationals, 2014 & 2015 Batte lf the Universe, 20-15 Women’s Golden Glove, 2-15 Junior Olympics Nationals, ו 2014 Brown Gloves.

 

 

 

Like many of her Team USA teammates, in addition to opponents from all over the world, Roma hopes she can parlay an impressive performance in Buenos Aires to improve her chances to eventually qualify for the 2020 אולימפיאדה ביפן.

 

 

 

“The Youth Olympics is the biggest thing in my career because I hope to compete in the 2020 אולימפיאדה,” Martinez said. “The Youth Olympics is almost as big as the Olympics, only younger athletes compete. I take things one day at a time, but I do have goals to make the Olympics, win a gold medal, and then turn pro and win a world title.

 

 

“This is my last youth competition. This December I will move up to Elite Division. There will be a difference in age (of her opponents) and more international competition, but I need that experience to reach my goals.”

 

 

 

Roma, she says, is a technical boxer who occasionally brings pressure. Her favorite boxer is the great “סוכר” ריי לאונרד and she looks up to Nicola Adams (2012 & 2016 Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain) ו מיקאלה מאייר (2016 אולימפי ארה"ב). Roma has taken advantage of sparring sessions with Adams and Mayer, בהתאמה, in Houston and Colorado Springs.

 

 

 

Martinez believes female boxing is on the upswing and she looks forward to its future. “The more top female boxers will mean bigger things for us,” Martinez added, “We’ll get more TV time and make more money.”

 

 

 

Roma credits USA Boxing for her learning how to be disciplined and she’s grateful for the outstanding coaching she’s received. Martinez plans to travel a lot in the future and when she earns her business degree, Roma is determined to use it to her advantage, owning a restaurant and, possibly, a gym so that she can remain in boxing after she hangs up her gloves way down the road.

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (ספטמבר 22, 2018) – Tonight at Whataburger Field in Corpus Christi, TX, San Antonio’s female boxing sensation, סלינה “האצטקים מלכה” שכונות (5-0, 2 קוס), remained undefeated with a dominating 10-round unanimous decision victory over Patricia Juarez (4-1), sister of WBC Bantamweight champion, מריאנה “בארבי” Juarez (50-9-4, 13 קוס). עם הנצחון, Barrios retains her NABF Lightweight title.

 

 

 

In the early rounds, both fighters were very active, throwing a lot of punches, but Barrios was the one landing the cleaner shots. Although Juarez was doing her best to box from the outside using a one-two combo, her power wasn’t enough to keep Barrios off her as she kept coming forward, landing her signature overhand right. Barrios hurt Juarez in round five, knocking her mouthpiece out with right hook, forcing the referee to stop the action momentarily. Juarez recovered but never was able to stop Barrios from coming forward as she continued to land thumping power shots. A clash of head butts cut Barrios on the forehead during the middle rounds, but she was never bothered by them. In the later rounds, Barrios continued to apply pressure, forcing Juarez to fight on the inside. Juarez showed a lot of heart making it to the final bell but came up short as Barrios remains undefeated. Scorecards לקרוא 100-89 ו 99-91 twice all in favor of Barrios.

 

 

 

“I felt I controlled the fight from the opening bell,” אמרה סלינה באריוס. “Juarez was a very tough opponent and I give her a lot of credit for going the distance. I hit her with a lot of power shots and she hung in there. I didn’t feel any power in her punches, so I kept coming forward. I got the victory and I’m ready to fight any of the champions at Lightweight. קייטי טיילור, מיקאלה מאייר ו אמנדה סראנו, I’m coming for you guys. You can run, but you can’t hide.”
