Michael Carbajal Masih Juara
COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Mei 3, 2021) – Juara dunia lima kali, Hall of Famer dan peraih medali perak OlimpiadeMichael Carbajal mungkin mencatat kemenangan terbaik dalam hidupnya di usia 43 sebagai pensiunan petinju. Alih-alih menerima sabuk atau medali yang indah untuk prestasinya, Carbajal sekarang membantu membangun karakter bagi banyak anak muda Phoenix yang mungkin tidak memiliki cara lain untuk keluar dari jalanan yang kejam.
Carbajal menyukai tinju sejak awal, akan tetapi, dia tidak memiliki pertandingan amatir pertamanya sampai dia 14, karena ayahnya, mendiang Manual Carbajal, mantan juara Arizona Golden Gloves, tidak akan membiarkan putranya bertinju sampai dia lebih tua. Pada malam pertandingan pertamanya, ayahnya mengingatkan Michael tentang sesuatu yang dia katakan ketika dia baru berusia enam tahun: "Saya akan menjadi juara dunia dan pensiun sebagai juara dunia." Michael, tentu saja, tidak ingat apa yang dia katakan ketika dia baru berusia enam tahun, tetapi pesan itu tetap bersamanya sepanjang hidupnya.
“Saya ingin bertinju sejak saya berusia enam tahun,Carbajal mengenang. “Saya tidak mengerti mengapa saya tidak bisa, tetapi ayah saya menyuruh saya untuk menonton dan belajar dari pengalaman saya di gym dan di turnamen. Aku menunggu sampai aku 14, berolahraga di halaman belakang saya, karena ayah saya mengajari saya dasar-dasarnya. Saya ingat pernah mendengar tentang anak-anak di turnamen dengan 100, 200 perkelahian amatir. Saya hanya punya sekitar 100 (rekor amatirnya yang dilaporkan adalah 94-9) sebagai seorang amatir. Saya baru mengenal olahraga ini dan menganggap kekalahan saya sebagai kemenangan karena saya belajar dari setiap pertarungan. Saya masih ingat pertarungan amatir pertama saya. Di situlah semuanya dimulai. aku kalahKevin Davis. Saya memasuki turnamen melawan dia tanpa pertarungan dan dia memiliki 32 pertandingan. Saya kalah dalam pertarungan itu dan ingin melawannya lagi. Saya selalu ingin bertarung dengan yang terbaik. Kami bertarung dua kali lagi di kejuaraan negara bagian (mereka berpisah).
“Pertarungan saya yang paling berkesan adalah di 1986 Kejuaraan Sarung Tangan Emas Nasional. Saya masih ingat lawan saya (di final kejuaraan), Gary Harvey. Saya akan mengingat pertarungan itu selama sisa hidup saya. Saya memenangkan setiap turnamen nasional setelah itu hingga 1988.”
Carbajal pertama kali terjun ke dunia tinju karena alasan yang sama dengan yang dialami banyak petinju lainnya selama beberapa dekade… lingkungan yang keras. Dia masih tinggal di La Nuevo (9th St.) lingkungan. “Itu mengerikan di sini ketika saya— 11 atau lebih,Carbajal menjelaskan. “Aku masih tinggal di sini, tapi sekarang tidak seburuk itu. Kami memiliki penembakan dan geng di seberang 3 atau 4 blok yang memisahkan kita. aku tidak pernah pergi. Saya punya banyak teman dari dulu yang terlibat narkoba dan penembakan. Saya mengabaikan semuanya karena saya bertekad dan ingin menjadi juara dunia. Hari Ini, orang yang mengenalku saat itu, mengatakan: 'Kamu masih Michael.' Prestasi saya adalah karena saya sangat suka tinju. Di 1988, Carbajal adalah juara kelas terbang amatir junior Amerika Serikat, siapa yang mengalahkan Eric Griffin (wakil kapten dari 1989 & 1991 Kejuaraan Amatir Dunia), 5-0, di final AS. Ujian Olimpiade, dan kemudian dia menang lagi di AS. Box-Off Olimpiade melalui diskualifikasi ronde ketiga versus James Harris.
Carbajal pergi ke Seoul, Korea Selatan sebagai anggota 1988 Tim Tinju Olimpiade AS. Di babak pembukaan, dia bermata kampung halaman favoritKwang-Soo OIh, 3-2, yang kemungkinan kembali menghantuinya dalam pertandingan medali emas melawan BulgariaIvailo Khristov, di mana Carbajal kalah, 5-0, dalam apa yang banyak dituduhkan adalah karena penilaian yang bias.

Tujuh bulan setelah Olimpiade, Carbajal menjadi pro Februari 24, 1989, mengambil keputusan 4 ronde dari Juara Dunia kelas terbang ringan IBF masa depanWill Grigsby di kartu bawah idola Carbajal, Roberto Duran, siapa yang marah?Iran Barkley di Atlantic City untuk merebut kejuaraan dunia kelas menengah WBC. Nama panggilan Carbajal, "tukang batu" (“Tangan Batu Kecil”) karena menghormati Duran, dikenal sebagai "Tangan Batu" (“Tangan Batu”).
Selama 10 tahun karir profesionalnya yang termasyhur, Carbajal dikompilasi sebagai 49-4 (33 Biaya) catatan, disorot oleh lima gelar kelas terbang junior dunia. Triloginya yang mengesankan denganHumberto "Chiquita" Gonzalez dimulai pada 1993 dengan pertarungan unifikasi. Mereka menjadi kelas terbang junior pertama yang mendapatkan dompet $1 juta, serta menjadi yang pertama di kelas berat mereka yang menjadi headline acara bayar per tayang. Carbajal didekorasi di ronde dua dan lima dan dia menderita alis kanan berdarah, sampai dia melepaskan pukulan kanan yang kuat di dagu Gonzalez. Gonzalez tidak dapat mengalahkan hitungan, Carbajal menjadi juara dunia bersatu dalam apa yang kemudian dinamai 1993 Fight of the Year oleh majalah The Ring.
Banyak dukungan diikuti untuk Carbajal termasuk Diet Pepsi. Setelah membuat dua pertahanan gelar yang sukses, Carbajal menderita kekalahan pro pertamanya (32-0) dalam bukunya 11th mempertahankan gelar dunia, dan 1994 Gonzalez memenangkan keputusan split 12 ronde lagi. Carbajal dan Gonzalez, cukup tepat, dilantik bersama ke dalam International Boxing Hall of Fame, angkatan 2006.
Di 1999, Carbajal mengumumkan comeback keduanya dan setelah tiga kemenangan, dia pergi ke Tijuana untuk menantang juara dunia kelas terbang junior WBO berusia 21 tahunJorge Arce (20-2-1), yang jelas mengambil sembilan dari yang pertama 10 putaran, meskipun Arce telah memukul kanvas di ronde enam. Dalam 11th bulat, Carbajal mengayunkan Arce dengan pukulan kanan yang membuat pemain Meksiko itu terlempar ke tali. WasitRaul Caiz, Jr. menghentikan pertarungan, Carbajal dinobatkan sebagai juara dunia untuk kelima kalinya, dan kemudian Michael pensiun setelah berjuang untuk selamanya.
Carbajal pensiun dengan a 15-3 (10 Biaya) rekor dalam pertarungan gelar dunia, 9-4 melawan mantan juara dunia. Empat kekalahan pro-nya melawan juara dunia – Gonzalez (dua kali), Mauricio Pastrana danJacob Matlala. Dikenal tidak pernah menyerah, bersama dengan membuat beberapa comeback yang luar biasa, Carbajal dihentikan hanya sekali, oleh Matlala.
Hari Ini, Carbajal masih tinggal di rumah yang sama (dibangun di 1906) dia dibesarkan di 9th Jalan di Phoenix, mengoperasikan gym (dibangun di 1911), dan masih memberikan kembali kepada komunitasnya.
“Jika saya tidak pernah bertinju,” kata Carbajal, “Saya pikir saya akan menjadi konselor. Saya sangat baik dengan anak-anak. Saya kuliah selama dua tahun for, tapi aku terlalu sibuk dengan pertempuran. Saya selalu memiliki kesabaran yang luar biasa, tidak seperti beberapa pelatih dan manajer lainnya, yang ingin menghasilkan uang dengan cepat. Jika mereka (anak-anak) tetap di gym – bahkan tidak berkelahi – mereka akan belajar. Ini semua tentang anak-anak yang menjauhi jalanan. Di sini tidak seburuk sebelumnya dan senang bisa membantu anak-anak ini. Beberapa datang ke sini untuk bertinju, yang lain hanya berolahraga, dan itu bagus. Saya tidak terburu-buru untuk memiliki (melatih) seorang juara dunia, bahkan jika itu adalah tujuanku, dan saya berkonsentrasi untuk memberi mereka waktu untuk memahami.”
Semua orang pergi ke Michael Carbajal 9th Street Gym diperlakukan sama dari anak baru sampai 82 tahunPaul Taylor, yang telah pergi ke sana selama bertahun-tahun untuk diingat. Beberapa orang pergi ke sana untuk alasan yang tidak terkait dengan tinju atau berolahraga. Mereka pergi ke sana jika mereka membutuhkan bantuan, hanya tentang apapun.
“Saya mengingatkan anak-anak tentang apa yang kita lalui (di lingkungan ini) dan dihindari,” Pungkas Carbajal. “Sebagian besar pejuang berasal dari lingkungan seperti ini. Ini bukan tentang menang atau kalah, meskipun kita selalu ingin menang, ini tentang hidup. Kami melatih siapa saja yang datang ke gym. Mereka belajar disiplin dan itu membantu sepanjang hidup mereka. Kami mengajarkan untuk menghormati orang lain. Saya sekolah tua. Kami tidak memiliki AC di gym. Itu membuat Anda dalam kondisi bagus. Hei, Saya berlatih di gudang timah di halaman belakang saya, yang 15 derajat lebih panas daripada di luar (ingat ini adalah Phoenix di mana ia berada di tahun 120-an). Aku menyukainya.
“Saya senang membantu, tidak hanya untuk kotak, tetapi untuk menjadi baik melalui hidup mereka. Disiplin yang mereka pelajari di sini akan membantu. Kami membangunnya seumur hidup.”
Bisa dibilang kelas terbang junior terhebat sepanjang masa, Michael Carbajal masih menang!

Team Ortiz moves on from disputed draw Feeling Confident Undefeated Lightweight Jamaine Ortiz Made Loud Statement
WORCESTER, Massa. (Bulan April 29, 2021) – Despite a disputed draw with unbeatenJoseph “Blessed Hands” Adorno (14-0-2, 12 Biaya) last Saturday night in Kissimmee, Florida, lightweight prospectJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz (14-0-1, 8 Biaya) displayed his vast skills and courage on ESPN+.
Recovering from two knockdowns (the first from an illegal punch behind the head) and still taking the fight to the promoter’s fighter, Ortiz won six of the eight rounds but, sayangnya, he had to settled for an 8-round majority draw with (76-74, 75-75-75) Adorno.
Ortiz, bertarung di Worcester, Massachusetts, is the reigning WBC USNBC (U.S.) Silver lightweight champion, as well as a former WBC World Youth lightweight titlist.
“I didn’t fight my fight,” Ortiz evaluated his performance. “I fought too much instead of being ‘The Technician.’ Before the fight, I thought I was the B-side fighter and wanted to please the crowd. I didn’t realize that I was on the A-side (thanks to his promoter, Jimmy Burchfield) and the betting favorite. I was fighting a Top Rank guy and felt that I had to bring the fight to him. Muscle memory, Aku rasa, from back in the amateurs. I was fighting on his stage, so I put pressure on him. If the fight went the distance, I wanted to make sure the scoring was clear and obvious. I knew I’d break him down because I had better stamina and skills.
“I fought him too much, but I still thought I won the fight. The 76-74 score made sense. I won every round but the second and seventh (rounds of knockdowns). I didn’t agree with the one judge who had him (Adorno) winning the sixth. He hit me behind the head in the third round and I was off balance. But the referee does his job and mine is to fight. Nothing I could do about it. The plan was to box him, going to the body, but not switch stances because it would expose me. I had to go to the body, always part of my plan, but I wasn’t ‘The Technician.’ Sometimes I switch stances without realizing it. I got clipped in the seventh round (uppercut that resulted in a standing 8 count) when I was switching for first time. I handled it like a pro. I got up and felt good. I survived the round by holding a few times and then I came back again.”
Burchfield, head of Classic Sports and Entertainment (CEO), knows Ortiz showed that he’s somebody lightweights will have to reckon with in the immediate future.
“Jamaine’s stock went up for the second fight in a row (last November he registered a sensational stoppage ofSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 Biaya), who had never been previously stopped, in seventh-round on the Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-event),” Burchfield added. “Adorno is an animal when he’s in control of a fight. Jamaine had to take control of the fight by being the aggressor but, as ‘The Technician, knowing when to fight and when to box. The punch in the second round was, pasti, behind the head, clearly a foul, and it was more of a slip than a knockdown because he was off balance. If that punch was disallowed, Jamaine wins the fight, even if he had lost the round. He (Emil Lombardi) is a quality ref who made a mistake. Maybe he didn’t catch it because of the angle he had, which is why I’m a firm believer in instant replay, and It would have been ruled a non-knockdown.
“Going into the seventh, I thought Jamaine led by 2-3 points having taken five of the previous six rounds. Jamaine showed the world his endurance when he came back so strong in the eighth round. If the fight had been 10-round, or even 30-sconds longer, no disrespect to Adorno, Jamaine would have knocked him out. Jamaine is the real deal. He certainly proved he’s TV friendly after his last two fights and he deserves to be mentioned among the top 135-pounders in the world. Any takers?"
Ortiz’ manager, Dick Shappy, had mixed emotions after the fight, understanding that Ortiz raised the bar, even though he fought to a draw.
“I wish he had won,” Shappy remarked, “but a draw wasn’t too bad under the circumstances. I though Jamaine won the fight outright. If not for that illegal punch in the second, he won the fight on their scorecards. It still shouldn’t have been ruled a knockdown, more of a slip, because he was going forward and lost balance. It never should have been 10-8. Adorno would have lost if they had to go into the championship rounds. Jamaine was more skilled, he did a good job.”
Count no less than former Olympic gold medalist and 2-division World ChampionAndre Ward, who served as color commentator for Ortiz-Adorno, among those impressed by Ortiz.
“Ortiz outworked Adorno, tanpa keraguan, and he never backed down,” Ward commented on air. “I want to see more of Ortiz!'
As entertaining as Ortiz-Adorno was – it may have stolen the entire show – it’s unlikely that there will be a rematch.
“I don’t think he wants to fight me again,” Ortiz reported. “He said something about maybe when we both have world title belts.”
Ortiz has taken advantage of the tremendous opportunities for worldwide exposure in his last two fights. His reward will certainly come, in time, moving up the ratings as people continue jumping on “The Technician” bandwagon.

The 24-year-old Bailey (3-0, 2 Biaya), fighting out of Tampa (FL), akan menghadapiLuis Alvarado (1-2) in a 4-round featherweight bout on a Ring City USA card, the first live boxing in New York since before the pandemic.
All the action will be streamed live (9 pm. DAN / 6 p.m. PT) on the Twitch.tv app, mulai dari 9 p.m. DAN / 6 p.m. PT, as well as via the Armed Forces Network Europe and Pacific (AFNTV).
“I’ve never been to West Point,” Bailey said. “I’m excited to fight there in front of other soldiers. I’m honored. We’re all brothers and sisters in arms and I want to put on a great show for them. I’m bringing the heat!"
“This is a great opportunity for Daniel,” Bailey’s managerRyan Roach (Fighter Locker) commented. “Ring City USA has really taken over during the pandemic, putting on some really great shows. Ring City reached out to me looking to get some U.S. Army veterans on the card and Daniel answered the call, seperti biasa. I’m excited for this and Daniel is ready for the big stage.”
Born in Miami, Bailey’s cousin isRandall “The Knock-Out King” Bailey (46-9, 39 Biaya), the 2-division World champion who was considered one of the hardest pound-4-pound punchers of his era (1996-2016).
Bailey was honorably discharged from the military this past March 19 after serving a 6-year stint. He was a 4-time U.S. Army champion rated as high as No. 1 in the country as an amateur boxer. He was stationed at Fort Carson in Colorado Springs (CO), where Daniel was enrolled in the special soldier-athlete program there, World Class Athlete Program (WCAP).
Bailey made his pro debut November 7, 2020, ketika ia berhentiNoe Marquez Talamantes in the second-round of their fight in Mexico. His last action was an opening-round knockout ofJahterris Lewis last month in Alabama.
During his solid amateur boxing career, Bailey benefitted from sparring world championsTerence Crawford danJamel Herring, among the more notables.
“I’ve become a much more complete fighter since I turned pro,” Bailey explained. “I have more control, like fully hydrating after a weigh in. I’m like a kid in a candy store now. I’ve made changes and sparring top guys has really helped my conditioning.
“This is the right place, right time for me,” Bailey concluded. I’m already on weight and ready to fight. It was a good time for me to get out of the army to pursue my dream.”
