Boxing a family affair for Idaho amateur boxer Kendra Samargis

Listopad 29, 2020 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

COLORADO SPRINGS, Krug. (Listopad 26, 2020) – Idaho middleweight boxer Kendra (Reeves) Samargis‘ decision four years ago to lose weight has led her onto a path to compete in the 2020 USA Boks nacionalnim prvenstvima, Prosinac 5-12, at Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Boxing for the 26-year-old Samargis, who lives in Twin Falls, is a real family affair. She’s trained by her husband, Jason, and their two sons, Skyler Bellus (11) and Riley Marovich (8), are in USA Boxing. Skyler, zapravo, has competed in several tournaments in which his mother also fought.

“I got into boxing just as a form of weight loss,” Kendra explained. “My husband had been a boxing coach for many years and he still had all of his equipment. We set it up in our garage and started training. Isprva, starting out was the worst thing I had ever done. The amount of stamina, endurance, and strength that I needed to have was unreal. Slowly over time I lost tremendous weight, 73-pounds to be exact, and I came to love the sport.

“I’m always asked what it’s like to be trained by my husband. I always say I have a secret weapon, someone who is in my corner who wants me to succeed just as much as I do and supports me throughout. Također, in times we’re at tournaments, I am never alone the night before a big fight and if I need a pep talk, he is right there. Sada, my sons competing with me, dobro, that’s a different story. Being on the outside of the ring while my boys are competing is by far harder than any fight I have ever had. My mom-side definitely kicks in. Na kraju dana, iako, I know how well trained they are, and I have to trust that. I don’t work their corners because that’s too close. I would throw in the towel every time. I have to be in the stands.”

Kendra and both of her sons will be competing in Shreveport this year, despite having to train during the COVID-19 pandemic to prepare for the first national tournament of the year in the United States.

“Training during the pandemic has been a blessing for me,” Kendra said. “We now own a gym in town. Tako, during the times we had to close our doors, moj muž, kids and I were able to keep up with our training regimen. I learned so much during this time. We were actually able to slow things down and work on so many things that get overlooked. We are also very lucky to live in a small town, we only had to keep our gym closed for two months and we’ve been up and running since. I could only image how hard it must be for so many people during these times. We were very blessed to have a gym to get us through.”

Currently ranked No. 10 na 152 pounds and No. 5 na 165, Kendra’s highlights thus far are winning gold medals at the 2019 Eastern Elite Qualifier and 2018 Nacionalni Golden Gloves turnir.

An aggressive boxer who throws punches in bunches, Samargis believes she’s made dramatic improvement in the past years. She admittedly changed many different parts of her game, focusing more on movement, foot and head placements.

Naposljetku, she wants to capture top honors at multiple national tournaments, starting with this year’s Nationals Championship, and eventually turn pro to shoot for a world title. Za sada, iako, she’s all in for the Nationals.

“I am my biggest competition for this year’s National Championships,” she concluded. “Every day I want to be the best version of myself and every day I wake up to the haunting possibility I could fall back into the person that I used to be. I have to go to war everyday with myself to keep this person at bay. All of the hours of training, nutrition and mental preparation helps me accomplish this. Every day I can continue to be the best version of myself, focusing only on getting better, then who I compete against won’t matter.

“I am beyond ready and excited for the National Championships this year. With the world coming to a halt this will be my first tournament of the year. I am ready to get back in the ring. Medaling will give me another national title under my belt and sharpen my resume for when I turn pro.”

Sergey LIPINETS: “NIKAD NISMO PROPUSTILI NITAK U PRIPREMI, ČAK I PROTIV PROMJENE ”

Listopad 21, 2020 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

**Bivši svjetski prvak Lipinets, bitke bez poraza**
**Custio Clayton za privremeni IBF naslov u poluteškoj kategoriji**
**Uživo na Showtime^® Subota, Listopad 24 Naslovnica a**
**Premier događaj boksačkih prvaka**

**NEW YORK** (Listopad 20, 2020) – Čak i s promjenom datuma, a zatim i protivnika, Bivši svjetski prvak **Sergey Lipinets** ostaje izuzetno siguran u svoj trening kamp i sveukupne pripreme dok se priprema za pobjed neporaženih **Custio Clayton** za privremeni IBF naslov u poluteškoj kategoriji uživo u emisiji SHOWTIME ove subote, Listopad 24 (9 poslije podne. ET / 6 poslije podne. PT) zaokružujući događaj Premier Boxing Champions.

“Nikad nismo propustili nijedan ritam priprema, čak i uz promjenu protivnika,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Moja borba s Kudratillom Abdukakhorovom bila je uključena i isključena toliko dugo da sam već imao ideju da će biti prisiljen povući se, pa nisam bio šokiran. Baš me briga, iako. S kim god se moram boriti, spreman sam se boriti, tako da nisam razmišljao o povlačenju iz borbe ni jedne sekunde. "

Lipinets je zaslužan za svog trenera, poznati Joe Goossen, za mentalno pomaganje svom borcu kroz promjene, uz fizički trening koji su poduzeli krećući u borbu.

“Imati Joea Goossena jednako je imati psihijatra i trenera,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Izuzetno mi je pomogao kako pristupiti svemu tome. Joe mi je pomogao da ostanem smiren i shvatim da nešto dobro uvijek može doći iz loše ili teške situacije, i zbog toga, Nikad nisam izgubio fokus. "

Clayton je kanadski olimpijac s neokaljanim profesionalnim životopisom koji vodi u ovaj obračun. Dok Lipinets primjećuje da postoje razlike u stilovima borbe između Abdukahorova i Claytona, ništa od toga ne mijenja njegovu namjeru u listopadu 24.

“Znam da Clayton ima sjajno amatersko podrijetlo,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Provjerila sam njegov stil, a glavna je razlika u tome što je Abdukahorov aktivniji, a Clayton precizniji. Abdukakhorov je također malo agresivniji, a Clayton strpljiviji.

“Mislim da jedno nije teže ili lakše od drugog. Mislim da je bilo tko tko se bori na ovoj razini težak protivnik. Abdukakhorov se više kreće i može biti neugodniji s različitim stilovima koje koristi. Oboje su vrlo teški momci, ali ja sam spreman za Claytona i u ovom trenutku sam se usredotočio samo na njega. "

Unatoč tome što se usredotočio isključivo na Claytona, Lipinets zna da ova borba donosi veliku priliku za glasan proglas ostatku naslagane velter kategorije velikom izvedbom za osvajanje privremenog IBF naslova.

“Spremna sam dati jednu izjavu - pripadam ovdje,”Rekao je Lipinets. “Želim se boriti protiv najboljih. Želim otisnuti ovaj sport i izgraditi svoje naslijeđe. Morao sam to učiniti na teži način, ali ne žalim se. Borio sam se za svoje prvo prvenstvo upravo u svom 13^th profesionalna borba. Vjerujem da pripadam upravo tom vrhu sporta. Ljudi trebaju početi spominjati moje ime s najboljim momcima i nakon ove borbe morat će. Ne možete više gledati mimo mene. "

Listopad 21, 2020 FNU47 Ostavite komentar

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Listopad 19, 2020) -SFT MMA & Xtreme’s (Standout Fighting Tournament) rescheduled “SFT 22: The Return”, originally scheduled for August 1^st but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been replaced by an all-female main card in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, to be held Halloween night (Subota, Listopada. 31) Sao Paulo u, Brazil.

“Two years ago,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson rekla, “we dedicated our card to Breast Cancer Awareness. It was an all-female card: Borci, referees, and cut-women. Even two of our ring-card girls brought their boyfriends to be ring-card boys. It was the first time in Brazil’s long MMA history that featured an all-female event. The first year I had joined SFT less than three months earlier and we weren’t able to get enough women fighters, so the main card was all-females.

“Earlier this year, prior to the pandemic, we were going to promote a card for International Women’s Day. We’re promotingSFT: 22 for Breast Cancer Awareness with a six-fight all-female card.”

The main event will pit undefeatedAndreia “Thai” Serafim (4-0-0, SFT: 2-0-0) protivPamela Mara Assis (4-2-1, SFT: 2-0-0) for the vacant SFT Strawweight Championship. Undefeated Sarafim is an assistant “hodman,” a laborer for a bricklayer or mason who carries bricks, mortar, and cement. Both title challengers are undefeated in SFT action with identical 2-0-0 records. Assis is riding a 4-fight win streak

U suradnji opremljenog događaja, Karina “Killer” Silva (12-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) poprimaSidy Rocha (12-7-2, SFT: 9-0-0) in a battle of Brazilian bantamweights, and strawweightJulia Polastri (7-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0) puts her 5-fight win streak on the line againstJessica “So Na Manha” Evelyn Cunha (8-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0).

Brazil vs. Argentina is always a fierce rivalry in any sport and Brazilian strawweightBianca Sattelmayer meets her Argentinian opponent, Florencia Greco, in an SFT Xtreme match (SFT Xtreme allows striking, kicking and knees with 4-ounce gloves; clinching and fighting on the mat is prohibited).

Brazilian bantamweightsThalita Diniz (2-1-0, SFT: 0-1-0) aClaudia Leite (4-2-0, SFT: 2-1-0) izravnati, dokIsabela “Belinha” de Padua (5-2-0, SFT: 4-0-0 MMA) aPatricia Barbosa de Sousa MMA) will fight at a 128-pound catchweight.

“We’re really excited about this unique event,” Hudson concluded. “It’s a nice coincidence that we return to Brazil promoting a special event like this for Breast Cancer Awareness, in addition to showcasing the strength of Brazilian women MMA fighters. There’s still some bias against female fighters, but women always give their best in fights.

“The main event has the recipe to be one of the best female fights in years. Our Xtreme fight is Brazil versus Argentina and this is the ultimate rivalry. I’m sure fans will be talking about this night for a long time.”
