Is USA Boxing Nationals Champion Jared Anderson America’s next great heavyweight?

Колорадо-Спрінгс, Колорадо (Грудня 21, 2017) – Christmas came early for Jared Anderson, who not only won the heavyweight title at the recent USA Boxing National Championships, the 18-year-old also captured the Most Outstanding Boxer Award in the Elite Division.
Seeded No. 7 in an eight-boxer field at The Nationals, Андерсон, в порядку, defeated No. 2 Jesus Flores в першому раунді, 5-0, edged No. 3 Adrian Tillman у півфіналі, 3-2, and upset five-time national champion Cam F. Awesome, 5-0, у фінал чемпіонату.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (Листопад. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 і 2, відповідно, Flores is No. 5, and Anderson is unranked.
I think that’s going to change,” Anderson noted. “Winning the heavyweight title and Most Outstanding Boxing Award meant the world to me. Maybe some people had never heard of me, but I’ve been boxing since I was eight, and I’ve faced a lot of different styles.
I had a vendetta going with Tillman and, instead of boxing, I tried to take his head off. Simple work allowed me to beat Awesome. He is a good fighter. Cam does what he wants in the ringthrows jabs, sits there and builds up pointsand intimidates some opponents. I took the fight to him. Not wild, хоча, because he’d have been there in the ring, calm and smiling, and I would have lost. I used my jab more than anything against him.
One of 11 siblings in two households, Anderson is another USA Boxing success story. Growing up in Toledo, Огайо, Anderson was constantly getting into trouble in school and boxing eventually saved him. His mother convinced her son to meet a local boxing coach, who introduced Jared to boxing, drilling discipline into him, something Jared desperately needed at that point in his young life.
Boxing in Toledo has also aided his overall development in boxing. “We push each other,” Anderson explained. “We support each other and perfect our crafts. There’s a lot of support here at all the gyms in Toledo.
Anderson represented Team USA at this past August’s 2017 Bradenburg Cup in Frankfurt, Німеччина, at which Anderson won the heavyweight title, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer Award, which should have been a warning for other leading U.S. важковаговики.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, U.S. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. Шугар Рей Леонард – “Швидкі руки, швидкість, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. Евандер Холіфілд – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.Мухаммед Алі — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.
Зараз, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 кг., but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. У кінцевому рахунку, he wants to be heavyweight champion of the world, but Jared does have a plan.
I want to stay as active as possible next year, competing in tournaments, and turn pro but not until after the (2020) Олімпійські ігри,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) Олімпійські ігри. I want to win a gold medal, turn pro and win the world heavyweight title, so I can move my mother out of the ‘hood.
Remember the name, boxing fans, Jared Anderson has the potential to be America’s next great heavyweight.
