TISKOVÁ ZPRÁVA
K okamžitému zveřejnění
Vydejte se na letní olympijské hry mládeže v Buenos Aires 2018

Říjen. 6-18 v Argentině

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Říjen 8, 2018) — Houston muší váha Roma Martinez, který představuje další vlnu boxerek z USA, je v současné době v Argentině, aby učinil prohlášení na probíhajících letních olympijských hrách mládeže v Buenos Aires 2018.

 

 

Letní olympijské hry mládeže Buenos Aires 2018 pokračuje do října. 18 v Parque Polidesportivo Roca v Argentině.

 

 

 

Osmnáctiletý Martinez začal boxovat před šesti lety, když do jejího života vstoupil její nevlastní otec, odvedl ji do místní boxerské tělocvičny, aby jí pomohl vyvarovat se potenciálních problémů, a také se bránit.

 

 

 

Je online studentkou na University of Saint Thomas v Houstonu, plánování na obor podnikání, a Roma dokázala vyvážit svůj nabitý program z jednoduchého důvodu. “Nemám moc společenského života,” přiznala, “takže se mi snadno trénuje a studuje.”
 

 

Argentina je druhou cizí zemí, do které cestovala v loňském listopadu v Indii. I když má relativně omezenou amatérskou kariéru, Martinez se podařilo získat nejvyšší ocenění na šesti národních akcích: 2016 Státní příslušníci USA v boxu, 2014 & 2015 Poráží vesmír, 20-15 Dámská zlatá rukavice, 2-15 Státní příslušníci juniorských olympijských her, a 2014 Hnědé rukavice.

 

 

 

Stejně jako mnoho jejích spoluhráčů z týmu USA, kromě oponentů z celého světa, Roma doufá, že dokáže předvést působivý výkon v Buenos Aires, aby si zlepšila šance na postup do kvalifikace 2020 Olympiády v Japonsku.

 

 

 

“Olympiáda mládeže je největší věc v mé kariéře, protože doufám, že budu soutěžit v 2020 Olympijské hry,” Řekla Martinez. “Olympiáda mládeže je téměř stejně velká jako olympiáda, soutěží pouze mladší sportovci. Beru věci jeden den po druhém, ale mám cíle udělat olympijské hry, vyhrajte zlatou medaili, a pak se stal profesionálem a získal světový titul.

 

 

“Toto je moje poslední soutěž pro mládež. Letos v prosinci přejdu do elitní divize. Rozdíl bude ve věku (jejích oponentů) a další mezinárodní konkurence, ale potřebuji tuto zkušenost, abych dosáhl svých cílů.”

 

 

 

Romové, ona říká, je technický boxer, který občas přináší tlak. Její oblíbený boxer je skvělý “Cukr” Ray Leonard a vzhlédne Nicola Adams (2012 & 2016 Zlatý olympijský medailista z Velké Británie) a Mikaela Mayer (2016 Olympionik USA). Roma využil výhod sparringových setkání s Adamsem a Mayerem, příslušně, v Houstonu a Colorado Springs.

 

 

 

Martinez věří, že ženský box je na vzestupu a těší se na jeho budoucnost. “Čím více nejlepších boxerek pro nás bude znamenat větší věci,” Přidal Martinez, “Získáme více času na televizi a vyděláme více peněz.”

 

 

 

Roma připíše USA Boxing za to, že se naučila být disciplinovaná, a je vděčná za vynikající koučování, které získala. Martinez plánuje v budoucnu hodně cestovat a až získá obchodní titul, Roma je odhodlána to využít ve svůj prospěch, vlastnit restauraci a, možná, tělocvičnu, aby mohla zůstat v boxu poté, co zavěsí rukavice dolů po silnici.

Otha Jones III competing at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Zanechat komentář
Straight outta Toledo….
Říjen. 6-18 v Argentině

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Říjen 4, 2018) – Two-time USA National Champion Otha Jones III is heading to Argentina tomorrow to make a statement at the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires, Říjen 6-18 in Parque Polidesportivo Roca.

 

 

 

Jones is from the new home of amateur boxing champions, Toledo, Ohio, where the 18-year-old Jones is also making a difference in his community, especially after his brother was shot and killed a few weeks ago while he was riding a bike.

 

 

 

Otha first got interested in boxing after watching a YouTube boxing sensation. “I thought that was cool,” light welterweight Jones explained, “so I asked my father to take me to a gym. I soon learned that I was good at it, worked hard, and now I’m heading to the Youth Olympics.

 

 

 

“Fighters at all the gyms in Toledo help each other out. (2017 USA Nationals heavyweight champion) Jared Anderson is my best friend. The first year we trained at the same gym, but I never sparred with him (smavý), because he’s too big for me. We’re at different gyms now. Six Toledo boxers, five of my teammates, are in the USA Boxing program, including my sister, (welterweight) Oshae Jones, who is on the women’s Elite team competing right now in Spain. We all push each other to the limit.”

 

 

 

In addition to capturing gold at the last two USA National Championships, he also won top honors at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships, plus a silver medal at the 2018 Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament.

 

 

 

Self-described as an unorthodox boxer-puncher, Jones says he, “Throws punches from all angles. I can box well or sit and fight if I have to.”

 

 

 

Jones, kdo má 267-11 amatérský záznam, has already traveled and competed in Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia. He’s looking forward to experiencing Argentina, where he will live and train for two weeks in an Olympic village atmosphere.

 

 

 

“Making it this far to the Youth Olympic, so far, is the highlight of my career,” řekl. “I love traveling to different countries to experience and learn about new cultures. My goal is to fight at the 2020 Olympics in Japan and win a gold medal. I need to improve my skills; punch harder and place my punches better.

 

 

 

“After the Olympics, I plan to turn pro. I want to move my family out of the ghetto and get better clothes and meals for everyone.

 

 

 

“I own the Soul City Gym with my brother and dad. A lot of kids in Toledo have nothing to do. We go on social media to tell these kids to come by the gym to get in shape. We are part of a program that feeds these kids. We feel that, the less time on the street, we can help stop the violence, like my brother being killed. We’re trying to get kids off the streets and in the gym.”

 

 

Otha Jones III (blue)

 

 

 

 

Jones also noted that he really enjoys training in Colorado Springs, not only because of the outstanding facilities and coaching, but for his peace of mind.

 

 

 

“I thought I was in top shape training in Toledo,” Jones added, “but you come here, and the air is different. After training at sea level, you get tired training here. I love it here. There are so many nice buildings and facilities, it’s like a small city, only without crime. I can be myself here.”

 

 

 

Otha Jones, III is making an impact in and out of the ring, whether he’s at home in Toledo, training in Colorado Springs, or competing around the world.

Los Angeles flyweight Heaven Garcia Fighting for another gold medal at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Zanechat komentář
Heaven can’t wait….
Říjen. 6-18 v Argentině
COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Říjen 2, 2018) — Los Angeles flyweight Heaven Garcia is on a mission to become only the third American boxer, second female, to capture gold medals at the Youth World Championships and upcoming Youth Olympics during the same year, spojování Shakur Stevenson a Jajairia Gonzales, who both accomplished this rare feat in 2014.
 

 

Letní olympijské hry mládeže Buenos Aires 2018 will be held Oct. 6-18 v Parque Polidesportivo Roca v Argentině.

 

 

Garcia explained that her unusual first name is the result of her father being told he could never have children and upon her birth, he felt it was a miracle, aptly naming her, Nebe.

 

 

 

 

Heaven started boxing when she was eight. “After a week,” řekl Garcia, “I fell in love with boxing. I never played any other sports.

 

 

 

“My short-range goal in boxing is to win my second gold medal at the Youth Olympics. Long-range is to qualify and win a gold medal at the 2020 Olympijské hry, and then turn pro and become world champion.”

 

 

 

The 18-year-old Garcia, který byl 2015 Junior World Champion, avenged her quarterfinal loss to Kazakhstan’s Zhansaya Abdraimova at last year’s Youth World Championships, winning the rematch with a 3-2 decision in the semifinals of the 2018 Youth World Championships final. Garcia picked up her second World title with her 4-1 split decision victory over India’s Anamika

 

 

 

Garcia doesn’t consider herself a pure boxer or devastating puncher, at least at this stage of her relatively young boxing career. “I’m a fighter who goes forward,” she noted. “I pressure my opponent, go to the body a lot, and hit her when the right spot is there.”

 

 

 

Garcia will be ending her youth career at this month’s Youth Olympics, after which she will move up to become an Elite boxer. “I feel I’m ready for the Elites,” Heaven remarked. “Every step I take is to progress.

 

 

 

“I’ve had a good year,” přiznala. (she also won a gold medal at this year’s Youth Continental Championships) “I’ve also traveled to Taiwan, Hungary and now Argentina.”

 

 

 

Heaven can’t wait to capture her third gold medal at a 2018 International tournament.

USA Boxing Alumni Association Profile: 1972 Olympic Bronze Medalist JESSE VALDEZ

Zanechat komentář
(L-R) – Austin Trout, Jesse Valdez, Raphael Marquez and B.J. Květiny

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Říjen 5, 2018) — 1972 Olympijský bronzový medailista Jesse Valdez, who was an outstanding amateur boxer, never turned pro because he chose security for his family rather than take a risk and parlay his amateur pedigree into a prize fighting career.

 

 

 

Valdez first went to the local Boys’ Club when he was 11. The youngest of seven children in a low-income family, headed by his single mother, in which the kids all slept in one bedroom, girls in a bed, boys on the floor, sharing space with cockroaches.

 

 

 

“I started going to the club and I guess I did well because I started beating older and bigger guys,” Valdez remembered. One day a coach asked me if I was interested in learning how to box. Na 11, USA Boxing people were interested in me, not me the boxer, and they always gave me guidance. Because of my background, I knew I wouldn’t be going to college, and these people helped me and gave me guidance.

 

 

 

V 1964, 16-year-old Valdez upset Olympic bronze medalist Quincey Daniels at the National AAU Championship in the welterweight division, and later that year he qualitied for the U.S. Olympic Team as an alternate. Valdez captured a gold medal at the1967 National Golden Gloves in the light middleweight weight class and he added a bronze medal from the prestigious Pan-American Games.

 

 

 

“I wanted to be a better boxer and that (defeating Daniels) also helped me become a better person. I had never traveled outside of Texas before then. I went to the Regionals and Nationals and then I was asked if I wanted to go to East Africa. All I knew about Africa was Tarzan, Jane and Cheetah. In high school, I was offered college scholarships, but my grades were bad because I spent more time out than in school. I didn’t have a father figure.”

 

 

 

While he served in the U.S. Air Force, Valdez won a gold medal at the 1970 National AAU Championship as a light middleweight and two years later, he became the 1972 National Golden Gloves welterweight champion. A USA Olympic Team alternate for the second time in 1968, the third time was the charm for Valdez, kteří se kvalifikovali pro 1972 U.S.. Olympic Boxing Team by defeating future world champion Eddie Mustafa Muhammad.

 

 

 

“My dream came true in 1964,” Valdez noted. “I was a USA Olympic Team alternate in 1964 and again in 1968. But in 1972, I wanted to win a gold medal, even though I ended up with bronze.”

 

 

 

Valdez became a household name in America because his Olympic fights in Munich, Německo, aired live on ABC Wide World of Sports, the award-winning Saturday afternoon show during the seventies, when legendary announcer Howard Cosell took a shine to Valdez. Bohužel, Jessie was eliminated in the semifinals by the eventual gold medalist, Emilio Correa, by way of a controversial decision, and Jesse settled for a bronze medal.

 

 

 

The 1972 Olympijské hry, nicméně, is sadly remembered for the deaths of 11 Israeli athletes and coaches taken hostage and murdered by a Palestinian terrorist group, Black September.

 

 

 

“The Olympic village was built in a circle,” Valdez explained. “There were athletes everywhere from all around the world. My roommate and I had a routine after eating. We walked to digest our food and that night we started to walk, when guards with guns and rifles wouldn’t let anybody go past them. We didn’t know why and didn’t speak German. We then asked our coaches what had happened, and they said people were shot that afternoon. Později, we saw what happened on television.

 

 

 

“I was team captain and all the captains from every sport were asked what the athletes wanted to do, continue (competing) or go home. We decided to go on because, if we had stopped, that’s what they (terrorists) wanted. The Olympics were halted one day for a memorial recognizing those who had died.”

 

 

TEAM USA vs. TEAM GERMANY, Říjen. 6 & 12 in CHATTANOOGA

 

 

 

Team USA and Team Germany, two of the world’s top amateur boxing programs, will meet in Chattanooga, Tennessee, na dva samostatné duely odehrávající se v sobotu, Říjen 6 a pátek, Říjen. 12, v Kongresovém centru Chattanooga.

 

 

 

The duels will feature some of the top male and female elite boxers as they prepare for the lead up to the Olympics in 2020. Tyto dvě události se budou konat společně s letošní Eastern Elite Qualifier & Otevřené krajské přebory, u kterého se očekává více než 650 boxerky, letitý 8-40, soutěžit od října. 8-13.

 

 

 

 

After the 1972 Olympijské hry, promoters lined-up to offer Valdez a pro contract, but he quickly turned down all offers having other options as well. He could have remained in the Air Force and been a coach. Místo toho, he accepted an offer from a Houston television station that wanted to benefit from hiring the Olympic bronze medalist returning home. Valdez became a reporter and the station’s ratings immediately went up, but other reporters became jealous and that became a problem for Jesse. Zaprvé, he contemplated a return to the Air Force, but Valdez liked working in television and he became a photo journalist until he retired in 2005.

 

 

 

Why not take advantage of his fame as an Olympic bronze medalist and turn pro?

 

 

 

“Když jsem byl 14 nebo 15 there were pros training at the gym I went to after school,” Valdez explained, “There was one professional boxer there I really liked and looked up to. He was a world champion, who will remain nameless, and I watched him work out. I’ll never forget, he asked me if he could borrow $1.00. I didn’t even have a nickel and that really opened my eyes. Here was a world champion asking me for money. It stuck in my mind. I took a job as a reporter because I really needed (medical) benefits.

 

 

 

“I try to go to clubs and help amateurs, but I don’t watch pro fights.”

Simply the best….. Roy Jones, Jr.

Zanechat komentář
USA Boxing Alumni Association, Třída 2018 Branec

COLORADO SPRINGS, Klín. (Září 6, 2018) – Žijící legenda Roy Jones, Jr., universally recognized as one of the greatest pound-for-pound boxers of all-time, leads a celebrated quintet of Class of 2018 inductees into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

Druhý ročník Síně slávy USA Boxing Alumni Association, konané ve spojení s 2018 Elitní a mládežnické mistrovství USA v boxu a Junior a Prep Open, Prosinec 2-8, will be held Dec. 7, v hotelu Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) v Salk Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Kromě Jones, Třída 2018 also includes two U.S. Olympic gold medalists and world (profesionální) šampioni, Andre Ward a Claressa Shields, as well as former USA Boxing National Director of Coaching Emanuel Steward and veteran USA Boxing official Tom Cleary. The latter two will be posthumously inducted.

 

 

 

Zahrnuta byla i charterová třída uvedená v loňském roce Muhammad Ali a Evander Holyfield, stejně jako veteránští trenéři Roosevelt Sanders a Tom Coulter.

 

 

 

“I am honored to be selected for induction into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Jones commented, “especially as a member of this great class with my fellow inductees.

 

 

 

“Amateur boxing gave me the chance to learn life skills as well as face every other possible scenario inside of the ring.”

 

 

 

Jones, ironicky, got into boxing at the age of 11 because of Ali. “I saw Ali vs. (Joe) Frazierand just felt as though Ali and I had the same mental concept on life,” Jones explained.

 

 

 

Jones went on to become one of the best amateur boxers in the world, compiling a reported 121-13 záznam, including gold medal performances at the 1984 National Junior Olympics and 1986 & 1987 National Golden Gloves Tournaments.

 

 

 

Na 1988 Olympiády v Soulu, Jižní Korea, Jones reached the championship final of the light middleweight division against Park Si-Hun, Jižní Korea. Jones suffered arguably the worst decision in boxing history, losing 3-2, despite outpunching his opponent, 86 na 32 landed punches, and he was forced to settle for a silver medal. Even his opponent admitted that Jones won their fight, leading the AIBA to later suspend the three judges who selected the hometown fighter as the winner.

 

 

 

How disgraceful was this decision? Jones was selected as the Val Barker Trophy winner as the best boxer of the 1988 olympiády a, due to controversy, the scoring system for Olympic boxing was changed, replacing the 20-point must system with electronic scoring.

 

 

 

“I was angered,” Jones admitted, “yet promoted to prove that I was the best fighter there, and in the world, at that time.”

Stevens began the final day of boxing in the first bout against 2018 European Champion Ivan Price of England. Leading up to this showdown, Stevens and the USA Boxing coaching staff worked on a plan that would result in victory.

 

 

 

“The past three days we were creating a game plan of keeping distance and doing a lot of faints,” said Stevens after his gold medal performance. “I feel like we utilized it very well and that is how I got the win.”

 

 

 

The flyweight boxed a total of five times through the 11-day tournament, which included a split decision win over Patrick Clancy (Irsko), unanimous decision wins over Ibrahim Boukedim (Francie) and Samandar Kholmurodov (Uzbekistán), as well as a split decision win over Bhavesh Kattimani (Indie) v semifinále. His unanimous decision victory today over Price earned him his first World Championship title and the first youth flyweight title since Shakur Stevenson in 2014.

 

 

 

“This means a lot, no words can really explain how I feel,” stated Stevens. “This is the best feeling in the world.”

 

 

 

Garcia picked up her second World Championships title to add to her 2015 Junior World Championship title with her 4-1 split decision victory over India’s Anamika.

Garcia is the first American to win both a junior and youth world title since Gonzalez did so in 2013 a 2014/2015. Garcia will also look to join Gonzalez in the record books with a win at this October’s Youth Olympics.

 

 

 

“This win feels great because it was harder than my first title in 2015,” continued Garcia. “Everyone is older and more experienced at this level, and I worked very hard to get to the top spot.”

 

 

 

Following the conclusion of the tournament, Augie Sanchez (Las Vegas, Nev.), Team USA’s Head National Junior and Youth Coach, was awarded Best Coach of the Tournament honors, zatímco Isamary Aquino (Universal City, Texas) was awarded her bronze medal during the medal ceremonies.

 

 

 

“I am very happy with the team,” said Sanchez at the end of the competition. “It was the whole staff that made this happen, and I am happy how our team performed overall.”

 

 

 

Team USA will begin their return home tomorrow with a total of three gold medals and one bronze after ten intense days of boxing. This year’s tournament brought over 350 boxeři z konce 50 countries from around the World. Joining Sanchez in the boxers corners throughout the tournament were assistant coaches Timothy Back (Cincinnati, Ohio), Eliza Olson (Redwood, Calif.) a Rosario Solis (Irving, Texas).
