Keyshawn Davis està avançant cap al cim de Norfolk, Will. autòcton és 2020 Esperança olímpica per a l'equip dels EUA

Leave a comment
 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Juny 8, 2018) Superar l'adversitat és una cosa amb la qual moltes persones s'enfronten al llarg de la seva vida, i fa d'aquesta persona qui és. Per a Keyshawn Davis, ha anat superant les adversitats des del principi, i ara està en camí cap al cim del món de la boxa.

 

 

 

Davis va començar a boxejar quan només tenia nou anys, després que la seva mare el portés ell i dos dels seus germans al gimnàs. Estaven lluitant constantment entre ells i a l'escola. Després d'aproximadament una hora de veure com dos nens de la seva edat s'enfronten, la seva mare li va preguntar si es volien inscriure. L'endemà, Keyshawn i els seus dos germans estaven a l'entrenament del gimnàs.

 

 

 

Des de llavors, Davis ha guanyat nombrosos títols i ara forma part del seu primer equip d'alt rendiment d'elit després de la seva victòria al 2017 EUA Campionat Nacional de Boxa. Després d'aquella victòria, ha fet Colorado Springs, Volta. una segona casa, ja que passa gran part del seu temps entrenant al Centre d'entrenament olímpic dels Estats Units.

 

 

 

L'entrenament per al seu primer any a nivell d'elit va començar amb un dels camps d'entrenament multinacionals més grans que la boxa dels EUA ha acollit mai.. Davis va tenir l'oportunitat d'entrenar no només amb els seus companys d'equip nord-americans, però boxejadors de Gran Bretanya, Nova Zelanda i Polònia. La preparació va portar a un dels seus moments més orgullosos de la seva jove carrera, el seu primer torneig internacional d'elit i títol al Torneig Strandja de Bulgària.

 

 

 

“Va ser una experiència molt diferent, sent que era la meva primera vegada fora del país,” va dir Davis. “Realment m'havia d'acostumar a l'entorn diferent, sobretot la diferència horària, ja que al principi em va alterar l'horari de son.”

 

 

 

No obstant això, no va deixar que res el distregués d'arribar al cim del podi.

 

 

 

“La sensació era tan irreal,” va dir Davis sobre la seva actuació amb la medalla d'or a Bulgària. “Em vaig dir a mi mateix que això és només un or i que he d'estar aquí després de cada torneig. Va ser una sensació genial.”

 

 

 

Poc després de la seva actuació guanyadora a Bulgària, Davis va tornar al ring representant l'equip dels Estats Units en els EUA vs. IRL Northeast Boxing Tour. Només lluitant en una de les tres parades de la gira, Davis va fer que cada minut valgués, mentre va aconseguir una altra victòria impressionant davant d'un gran nombre d'aficionats nord-americans.

 

 

 

No obstant això, abans que l'èxit vingués les lluites.

 

 

 

“Sóc un nen de Norfolk, Will. que va començar sense res; Només la meva mare i els seus cinc fills,” va dir Davis.

 

 

 

“A mesura que avançava la vida, Vaig seguir millorant al ring, però fora del ring era horrible, des de problemes d'ira fins a ser enviat a una institució mental,” va continuar Davis. “Mai hauria pensat que estaria en la posició que estic avui, així que agraeixo a Déu que em va beneir amb tots els meus seguidors; de les meves germanes, Shanice i Shantel Davis, també els meus germans, Keon i Kelvin Davis, i, per descomptat, la meva mare, Wanda Davis. Sense ells avui no estaria aquí. Sóc un miracle caminant i només vull mostrar al món el que realment pot fer Keyshawn Davis.”

 

 

 

Ajudar a Keyshawn a superar les seves lluites ha estat el seu entrenador que hi ha estat des del principi, Kea Korma, així com 2016 El medallista de plata olímpic Shakur Stevenson.

“L'any passat quan em van posar al manicomi, tots dos estaven allà mateix empenyent-me per tornar al camí,” va dir Davis. “Mai no van renunciar a mi ni van dubtar de mi. Sempre van saber de què era capaç, tot i que estava en un mal lloc.”

 

 

 

Una altra font de motivació i ajuda va venir d'un altre company d'equip, troy Isley, que ha estat al seu costat per viure el primer any de Keyshawn com a elit amb ell.

 

 

 

“Troy ha estat una gran ajuda per a mi durant el meu primer any a l'equip d'alt rendiment d'elit,” va esmentar Davis. “M'ha estat dient quins aliments podria necessitar en un viatge per ajudar-me a mantenir el pes.”

 

 

 

Quan Davis va anar a Bulgària per al seu primer torneig internacional, Troy estava allà representant l'equip dels EUA amb ell. “Em va explicar com es va sentir la primera vegada que lluitava internacionalment, i només vaig agafar tota la seva informació i la vaig utilitzar al meu avantatge.”

 

 

 

Ara l'objectiu és seguir formant-se i tenint èxit a nivell internacional. Té esperances de convertir-se en campió olímpic 2020 i poder retornar a la seva família.

 

 

 

“La meva principal motivació és donar-li una vida millor a la meva família.”

 

 

 

Amb un or sota el cinturó, Davis buscarà el seu segon títol internacional a la 2018 Copa de Química a finals d'aquest mes. Podeu continuar seguint el seu viatge cap a la 2020 Jocs Olímpics de Tòquio a través de les xarxes socials a través d'Instagram (@keyshawndavis1) o SnapChat (@key4999).

Antonio “The Magic Man” Tarver Credits USA Boxing for giving him Structure that carried him to top

Leave a comment
COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Maig 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Antonio “The Magic Man” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 NC, 22 KOs) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair of L'Anell magazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.
“I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Tarver va explicar. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, entrenament, dormir….tot! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.”
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 registre. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, U.S. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Vassiliy Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 Campionats del món d'aficionats. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
“I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver va dir. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, encara que, with a gold-medal professional career.
“I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 U.S. Equip olímpic. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
“I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, Jr – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 a Filadèlfia, parada Joaquin Garcia (4-0) en la segona ronda.
“I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract with Russell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.”
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17º pro lluita, quan Eric Hardingdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Dos anys més tard, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 lluitador lliura per lliura en el món. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.

Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Montell Griffin for the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated by Roy Jones Jr., Abril 26, 2003 al Foxwoods Resort Casino en Mashantucket, Connecticut. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 dels tres jutges.
Set mesos més tard, però, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, encara que, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofL'Anell magazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPN Divendres Night Fights transmissió per televisió.
“I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.”
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF champion Glen Johnson (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, irònicament, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought for L'Anell and IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematch six months later a Memphis, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City to Bernard Hopkins for the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision over Elvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local hero Danny Green, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
Al desembre de 2013 a Temecula, Califòrnia, Tarver knocked out Jonathan Banks (29-2-1) a la setena ronda, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world champion Steve Cunningham (28-7) a Newark, Nova Jersey.
En 2006, Tarver starred as Mason “The Line” Dixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Avui, a l'edat de 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Antonio Tarver, Jr. (5-0 (4 KOs), where they live in Tampa, Florida.
“I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver va remarcar. “What a team! Guys like Diego Corrales i Zab Judah didn’t make that Olympic Team. I gave Floyd Mayweather, Jr. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Fernando Vargas, David Reid, Zarim Raheem and the others.”
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Florida. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 de pes mitjà Antonio Tarver, Jr. ja està. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited with Jimmy Williams, que és 90 ara, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA,” which was created to champion a lifelong, relacions mútuament beneficioses entre USA Boxing i els seus antics alumnes, –boxejadors, funcionaris, entrenadors i aficionats a la boxa — l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes connecta generacions de campions, inspirar i retornar als futurs campions de boxa d'USA Boxing, dins i fora de l'anell de.
“I’m going online to join,” Tarver va dir. “I’m looking forward to attending an Alumni Association meeting, Juny 24-30 during the Junior Olympics in Charleston, Virgínia Occidental.
Everything that goes around, ve al voltant, in USA Boxing. Just ask future Hall of Fame candidate Antonio Tarver.

Back to the future with Hall of Famer Virgil Hill

Leave a comment

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Abril 20, 2018) —

Virgil “Quicksilver” Pujol has gone back to the future, parlaying what he learned as an amateur boxer into a Olympic silver medal, five world titles in two weight class, entrada al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa Internacional (IBHOF), and now giving back as a Los Angeles-based boxing coach and invaluable member of the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

“Winning the WBA (Associació Mundial de Boxa) i IBF (Federació Internacional de Boxa) world titles were all big.” Hill spoke about his greatest boxing achievement, “But the Olympics come around every four years with only one guy from each country, if that, in each weight class. It’s very difficult. I had competed against some of the best athletes in the world, right here in the United States, preparing to represent our country in the Olympics against the best in the world. We sparred each other at camp. US fighters all have a target on their backs.

 

 

 

 

“I fought in 10 different countries that year (1984), but the best Olympics ever was held here in Los Angeles. Half of our team went on to become world champions as pro fighters and three are in the Hall of Fame (Pujol, Evander Holyfield i Pernell Whitaker). I wasn’t picked to win a medal in my class. I should have won a gold medal but lost in the final (divisió de pes mitjà) to a Korean fighter (Shin Joon-Sup, 2-3). Losing was tough but the opportunity to be on the US Olympic Boxing Team was the highlight of my boxing career, even more so than winning my world titles.”

 

 

 

 

Hill grew up on a ranch in North Dakota. He watched the Golden Gloves on television and asked his father if he could learn to box. His response was, maybe if we move to a city. “Enrecordar,” Hill noted, “a city for me back then was only 50,000 gent. We did move to Grand Forks and my father asked me if I still wanted to box. He brought me to a local gym when I was eight and I started training right away.”

 

 

 

 

After capturing a gold medal at the 1984 Guants d'Or Nacionals Torneig, Hill went to the USA Boxing training facility, where he learned a lot being around so many different people and boxing styles. Although he’s part Puerto-Rican, Hill is a Native-American who grew up in a predominantly German and Norwegian state (Dakota del Nord).

 

 

 

 

“There were not many blacks or Latinos,” Hill admitted. “We grew up poor, but not ghetto poor. Vaig aprendre molt. My roommate (at USA Boxing’s training facility) was a 106-pound Puerto-Rican from New Jersey, Jose Lazario. Jose took me for a haircut one day and, when I went back to North Dakota, I had a bounce in my step and people there were all looking at my haircut. Evander Holyfield taught me how to iron. He wouldn’t go with me to the mall unless I ironed my jeans. I sat and listened to know what to expect.”

 

 

 

 

Hill completed his amateur career with an incredible 288-11 registre, married a woman who was on the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Team, Denean Howard (two-time gold and two-time silver medalist), and turned professional November 15, 1984, parada Arthur Wright in the second round at famed Madison Square Garden.

 

 

 

 

He had moved to Las Vegas to train with legendary trainer, Eddie Futch, i el seu assistent, Freddie Roach. “I was on my own for the first time,” Hill explained. “They were good role models who prepared me to be a pro boxer, as well as for life.

 

 

 

 

Hill fought professionally until 2015, guanyadora 51 de 58 baralles com a professional, 24 per nocaut, with only seven losses. Va guanyar la seva primera 30 baralles com a professional, including a fourth-round win by technical knockout of Leslie Stewart en el seu 19º pro fight to capture the WBA world light heavyweight title. Hill made 10 successful WBA title defenses, including eight in Bismarck, Dakota del Nord, before losing for the first time as a pro in 1991 to future Hal of Famer Tommy Hearns.

 

 

 

 

 

Hill later recaptured the WBA world light heavyweight crown and he eventually added the IBF world light heavyweight title, in addition to becoming three-time WBA cruiserweight world champion. He retired in 2007 and then make a one-fight comeback February 28, 2015, parada Jimmy Campbell in the second round in Bismarck, marking Hill’s final fight.

 

 

 

 

During his remarkable pro career, Hill had a 24-5 (7 KOs) world title fight record, including victories over Stewart, Marvin Camel, Adolpho Washington, Lou Del Valle, Donny Lalond, Bobby Czyz, Fabrice Tiozzo (dues vegades), Henry Maske and Hill’s 1984 US Olympic teammate, Frank Tate (dues vegades).

 

 

 

 

Hill remains in boxing as a trainer and occasionally a co-promotes pro-am shows in North Dakota. In Los Angeles, Hill currently trains one pro and nine amateurs. “I love being a trainer,” Hill exclaimed. “There are some special kids, the real athletic ones, but it’s the others that often make it for me. Those who aren’t as athletic and really need to work hard. Once you get a few of the kids working hard, the rest follow in line. This isn’t a democracy; it’s a dictatorship and I push ’em hard. Our LBC has 180 fights a year. I do all the matching and, if they’re in too tough, I top the fight. It’s not about winning and losing. It’s striving to be better, disciplina, accomplishments and competition.

 

 

 

 

“The Elite boxers are moving on to the next level, establishing themselves to make a name and enter the pros. Ninety-five percent of the others aren’t. Boxing is still a poor man’s sport and sometimes the only option for some of these kids have is boxing. And boxing is still a very dangerous, unforgiving sport. The sky’s the limited, good and bad, for these kids. Boxing occupies their time. Some kids need more encouragement, others need to believe more in themselves. This is where they come from and who they become.”

 

 

 

 

Not only is Hill giving back as a coach, he’s key member of and spokesperson for the USA Boxing Alumni Association.

 

 

 

 

“I’m happy to be involved,” Hill talked about his back to the future journey in boxing. “It’s about time we had an alumni organization. Only the top three-percent of boxers make it big. It’s great watching everybody mix and mingle at alumni gatherings. This is about respect for each other; it’s a kinship.”
