BRANDON FIGUEROA

A victory on Saturday in front of my hometown family and friends would be amazing. These are the people who have been supporting me and wanting to see me live for several years. Finally getting to this moment is a big honor to me.

It’s different fighting at home and sleeping in my own bed during fight week. It’s a nice feeling. I’m just focused on what I have to do, and that’s train and fight.

I feel incredible. My weight is coming off well. Physically and mentally I’m very ready. I can’t wait for Saturday. It’s going to be fireworks and an amazing show.

It’s an honor to be the first boxer to headline at Bert Ogden Arena. I’m breaking it in and making history, so I know it’s going to be a memorable moment for me.

My power is really continuing to grow and I’m more explosive in the ring now. We’re always increasing the volume of punches we can throw and we’re getting stronger every day.

This will be one of the most special fights of my career because I’m fighting in this arena in front of my family and supporters. It’s going to be an amazing night.

I never underestimate any opponent ahead of a fight. I train hard for every fight like it’s the biggest fight of my life. We’re working on my power, my speed and my defense. I have to work on all of that to be at the world class level.

I’ve been fighting grown men since I was in the amateurs. My father and brother have always instilled it in me to not fear any opposition. I’ve never said no to any fight, that’s just the way we were raised. I’m fearless.

I just have to keep doing what I’m doing, which is fight. I have a lot of passion for boxing and I want to put my hometown on the map. It’s about being an inspiration for kids inside and outside of the ring.

My work ethic is all about consistency. Even in my off time I’m always working out and keeping myself in shape. My conditioning is always the most important thing.

On his recent training camp.

This has been my first real training camp that I’ve had in a while because I’ve known about this fight date going on a couple of months now. I’ve sparred many different styles during this camp and I’m in great shape. All the hard work has been put in and I’m ready to bring an exciting fight to the fans.

On his upcoming fight against Ernesto Guerrero.

Guerrero is a crafty veteran with over fifty fights, so I know he has some tricks up his sleeve. Knowing that, I’m going to impose my style and game plan on him. There is nothing he can do that I haven’t seen. I’m going into this fight with complete confidence.

On when he sees himself in a big fight.

My plan is to take out Guerrero this Saturday and finish strong, fighting at least two more times by the end of the year. Sometime in 2020 I can see myself fighting for a belt against a top contender.

On if he’s ready for all the top contenders in the super bantamweight division.

The contenders in this division are all guys I feel I can beat. Matter of fact, I feel I’m the best super bantamweight in the world. I just need to land a meaningful fight against someone in the top ten. There is no doubt in my mind that I can become a world champion at 122 pounds.”

Javier Martinez gör Milwaukee stolt på väg till VM i Ryssland

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Augusti 19, 2019) – Milwaukee är inte känd som en av de ledande tillverkarna av världsklass boxare, emellertid, Team USA mellanvikt
Javier Martinez kan vara den sällsynt undantag.


“Milwaukee är egentligen inte en bra plats för boxning,” Martinez överenskomna, “men (tränare) Izzy Acosta alltid haft ett stort program som producerade en hel del nationella mästare. Förhoppningsvis, en dag jag kan göra vad han gjort för min stad. Vi har några bra fighters som kommer från mitt gym som fortfarande på uppgång. Håll utkik efter min pojke, Luis Feliciano, en före detta USA National mästare (26-årig junior weltervikt är 12-0 som ett proffs med åtta segrar genom knockout).”

Den mest kända fighter att komma ut ur Milwaukee är världs kickboxning mästare Stack “Jet” Rufus. Det har varit några Milwaukee boxare att notera under åren, Inklusive Myron “Pinky” Mitchell, som blev den första junior weltervikt mästare av världen i 1922, Robert “Grottman” Moha (1910-15), tidigare nationella mästare Tyrone “Fjärilen” Trice, och Pan American Games bronsmedaljör och två-tiden nationella amatörmästare, LeChaunce Shepard.

Martinez är för närvarande utbildning i Colorado Springs på US. Olympiska och paralympiska Training Center för VM, September 7-21, i Yekaterinburg, Ryssland.

“Det är en bra känsla och jag planerar att dra full nytta av denna möjlighet,” Martinez talade om att konkurrera på VM. “Jag älskar att komma till Colorado; Det är som terapi för mig, att hålla mig borta från distraktioner hemma. Jag är mycket glada över att gå till Ryssland. Jag är tacksam till USA Boxning för alla de möjligheter jag har haft, och jag hoppas att få tillbaka en medalj från Ryssland.”

Martinez säger att han inte har en normal barndom, förklarar att han såg upp till fel personer. Hans liv förändrades till det bättre när hans far presenterade honom för boxning och möta Coach Acosta, som nyligen hedrad av USA Boxing Alumni Association för hans bidrag till amatörboxning som en boxare och tränare under de senaste halvseklet.

“Jag vet inte vad jag skulle göra idag (om inte för boxning),” noterade Martinez, som vänder 24 augusti 24. “Jag vet bara att boxning var min väg ut ur ’hood. Coach Izzy är en mycket kärleksfull människa, och en stor person att ha runt. Han hade en mycket bra boxning karriär och det är bra att ha en person som det i mitt hörn.”

Martinez, som är No. 2 rang mellanvikt i U.S., fångade en guldmedalj på 2018 Elite SM och silver på 2016 & 2017 Elite SM. Han är också tog hem brons från 2013 Nationella Junior OS och Feliks Stamm Tournament.

Beskriver sig själv som en besvärlig southpaw som kan ge någons problem, Martinez’ kortsiktiga mål är att vara en OS-guldmedaljören, långsiktigt för att vara världsmästare.

Javier Martinez gör Milwaukee stolt genom punchin’ hans väg till toppen.

Faragon was once a super lightweight prospect touted as one of the most promising young fighters to ever come out of the Capital Region, but a severe foot injury forced him out of boxing five years ago.


During his extended recovery, which included several painful surgeries, 32-year-old Faragon fell into depression and unhealthy living and gained a great deal of weight.


With his mobility now restored, Faragon challenged himself to get back in shape and said he would fight again if he could. Pictured above, höger, Faragon is back in fighting shape and, against Wilson, will be looking to gauge how much of that immense potential he still has.

Legendary Air Force Academy boxing coach Ed Weichers coached perfect storm

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Augusti 8, 2019) – Boxing coachEd Weichers, a charter member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association, guided the United States Air Force Academy from 1976-2014 to a record of 19 national collegiate boxing team championships.

Coach Weichers’ Fighting Falcons’ squads produced a remarkable 258 All-America boxers and 97 individual champions. His teams never finished lower than second in the nation for 27 years and he also served as president and vice president of the National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA).

Coaching sports at a military school is much different, largely because student-athletes in most cases, speciellt boxning, are not professional prospects. “Our Cadets were not trained to be elite level amateurs or pros,” the now 68-year-old Weichers explained. “In 1976, the cost to put one Cadet through four years at the Academy was $80,000 men, i 2014, the year of my retirement, that figure was $417,000. Cadets are trained to go forward and serve. They fly, slagsmål, win and defend freedoms that we all enjoy. Boxing at the next level is not part of the discussion. I got calls at the time about our boxers going to the next level, fighting in Tough Man Contests, etc. My answer is and has always been consistent: ‘You are not trained to be a boxer in the Air Force. Do not jeopardize your pilot qualifications or commission ability with a boxing injury.’ The Air Force has an investment in them, and I urged them to go forward and serve. I send them back to the real purpose of the boxing class/program at AFA. It teaches them how to handle press, stress, fear and anxiety. Boxing gives them the self confidence and self esteem to make good decisions in combat under pressure. The ability to handle these pressures and make good decisions are the difference in life and death in combat.”

Coach Weichers, Naturligtvis, attributes a large share of his success to the Cadets, who are intelligent, disciplined and team oriented. All Cadets take a mandatory core curriculum boxing course (10 lessons) their freshman year, followed by an intramural boxing program comprised of 40 squadron teams with a minimum of eight to a maximum of 16 boxers per team.

Not only did Weichers work with this incredible feeder system, the next step was the AFA Wing Open Boxing Championships, in which Cadets voluntarily signed-up to compete in one of 12 divisions to box for the No. 1 spot, earning a roster spot on the AFA Intercollegiate boxing team that competes in regional and national tournaments. The advancing 12 Cadets represented the entire Air Force Academy.

“Bottom line,’ Coach Weichers noted, “this formula was a perfect storm. I must give credit to and thank two Physical Education Department headsCol. Don Peterson ochCol. Larry Fariss, and two athletic directors who were instrumental to our support and successCol. John Clune ochCol. Randy Spetman.

“I was blessed with young men who I describe as overachievers. Cadets are tenacious. We built on an individual sport with a team concept. I had great assistant coaches, the best training facilities, and an environment of being surrounded by quality people in all phases.”

After he retired as head boxing coach at the Air Force Academy, Weichers led Team USA in 2014 och 2015 to five medals, including two golds, at the Pan American Games in Toronto.

“The plan was to hire Billy Walsh, who was the head coach of Team Ireland,” Weichers added. “I committed to sponsor Coach Walsh upon his arrival and make his transition smooth. I did that and Coach Walsh and I have become good friends. He is the correct man for the job, and he brings a great resume and reputation. He has helped turn the program around and created a winning culture. Team USA is back, ranked among the top 10 i världen, and that is a direct result of Coach Walsh.”

Weichers joined the USA Boxing Alumni Association because he is a huge supporter ofJohn Brown, former President and current Vice President of USA Boxing.

“John had the idea or concept (to form the alumni association) and I looked at the purpose and thought it would be a way to honor and recognize those who contributed over the years,” Weichers remarked. “I hope that successful professionals from the past and present recognize those who contributed over the years. I also hope that they remember their roots were with USA Boxing and give back. We all had help and our start and success did not happen alone. Be humble and grateful and give back.”

Weichers is high on Team USA, especially its overall potential in the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan, säger, “We’re solid going into 2020. The key to success, enligt min åsikt, is head coach Billy Walsh. He is very experienced. His reputation and resume are top shelf. Coach Walsh is well known and respected on the international level. He has the ability to reach out to other countries and make positive things happen for our athletes. He has adjusted the culture in our boxing program, identifying our strengths, and making adjustment where weak. Coach Walsh brings leadership and credibility. Bottom line, we have the right coach for the job in place.”

Weichers’ association with the NCBA led to his relationship with USA Boxing at various levels and capacities. He has always felt gratified to give back to boxing, as well as an obligation to grow the sport at every level.

“I was lucky/blessed to work in a place I refer to as Camelot,” Weichers concluded. “It’s an athletic paradise; core values, honor code, and a mission that anyone can connect with and admire. I can say that I am a better person for my experience at the Air Force Academy.

“I love the sport of boxing, because of what it did for me, in terms of molding my life. The gratification that comes with seeing how young men and women grow and mature, as a result of their experience with boxing was very positive.

And countless Cadets are better people because they were coached by Ed Weichers.
