Sharahya-Taina Moreu farà il suo debutto negli USA Boxing Women's Elite in casa ad Albuquerque

2018 Qualificazioni Western Elite e Campionati Regionali Open
Mare. 6-10 all'Albuquerque Convention Center

CMOLLE OLORADO, Giro. (Marzo 1, 2018) – liceale Sharahya-taina moreu, uno dei migliori pugili dilettanti giovanili al mondo, farà la sua boxe USA nella divisione Elite femminile a casa ad Albuquerque, Marzo 6-10, alla 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier e Campionati Regionali Open.

Il 18enne Moreu, chi ha intenzione di frequentare il community college l'anno prossimo, è un 2016 Campione nazionale di boxe USA, oltre a quattro volte nativi americani e 2014 Campione di Gene Lewis. Era una medaglia d'argento al 2015 Junior/Youth Open e 2014/2015 Campionati olimpici junior.

Boxe, suo padre/allenatore, Yoruba Moreu, alla fine degli anni Johnny Tapia l'ha aiutata a superare la tragedia che ha cambiato la vita della morte di sua madre in un incidente automobilistico, forgiare un nuovo percorso per lei come modello e 2020 speranza olimpica. “Avevo solo otto anni quando mia madre è morta,” Moreu ricordava. “Ero sdraiato su di lei quando l'auto è rotolata e lei è stata lanciata attraverso il finestrino posteriore. Sono stato il primo a uscire dalla carta e in autostrada a chiedere aiuto.

“Sono una persona migliore grazie a quell'incidente, anche se. All'inizio, Ero dispiaciuto e arrabbiato, litigare e prendere una brutta strada. mi sono appassionato al pugilato, ha preso la gestione della rabbia, ed è diventato motivato. Non mi rendevo conto che sarei diventato un modello fino a quando le ragazze non hanno iniziato a chiedermi consigli. Mi ammirano e alcuni di loro ora li alleno.”
Moreu ha iniziato a fare boxe all'età di 12 e Tapia, il cinque volte, campione del mondo di tre divisioni, in aggiunta a 1983 e 1985 Gloves Nazionale campione d'Oro, ha avuto un enorme impatto su Sharahya-Taina che rimarrà nel suo cuore e nella sua anima per tutta la vita.
“Siamo diventati come una famiglia,” Moreu ha detto. “All'inizio, non gli piaceva il pugilato delle ragazze, quindi mi ha fatto lavorare davvero duramente. Ero un buon giocatore di basket e continuava a dirmi di andare a giocare a basket. Ma è diventato una persona importante nella mia vita, Penso che, perché avevo perso mia madre in così giovane età. Mi ha aiutato dentro e fuori dal ring in tanti modi. Johnny Tapia era il più simpatico, l'uomo più umile che abbia mai incontrato. Siamo diventati una famiglia fino a quando la palestra non è andata in pezzi. Mi ha allenato solo per circa otto mesi, ma mi ha insegnato che la boxe ti definisce come persona, in e fuori dal ring. Mi sento al sicuro sul ring. Sono una persona migliore grazie a Johnny e alla boxe.”

Style-saggio, Sharahya-Taina depreda i suoi avversari’ errori, regolazione nell'anello come, lei dice, “Proprio come nella vita.” Alle 5′ 10″, Moreu ha un'altezza netta e un vantaggio sulla maggior parte dei suoi avversari di peso medio, usando quegli attributi, la sua velocità e il duro colpo per accumulare punti senza sosta.

Lei crede fermamente che, per colpa di Claressa Shields‘ esibizioni da medaglia d'oro nel 2012 e 2016 Olimpiadi, le porte sono più aperte per le donne nel pugilato. “Ho visto una donna americana fare quello che ha fatto Clarissa e diventare una forza dominante nel pugilato,” Moreu ha osservato. “(2016 U.S. Campione olimpico e tre volte campione nazionale di boxe USA)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KO come un professionista) ha aiutato molto, troppo. Ha firmato con un buon promotore (Top Rank). La boxe sta lentamente migliorando per le donne, forse non uguale agli uomini, ma ci sono più ragazze che boxano oggi che mai e questo è un buon segno.”

Combattere in casa nelle qualificazioni occidentali ha un significato speciale per Moreu. “Pensavo che combattere ad Albuquerque sarebbe stata una grande pressione,” ha ammesso, “ma non c'è molta pressione su di me a causa di tutto il supporto che sto ricevendo. È facile qui. Albuquerque non è come una grande città ma sta diventando una città di lotta.

“Mi piace viaggiare e conoscere persone diverse. L'anno scorso, Ho rappresentato negli Stati Uniti in India ai Campionati Giovanili, e ho visto un'altra parte del mondo, come le persone si sono formate e hanno avuto stili di vita diversi. sto girando 19 a maggio, quindi questa è la mia prima volta nel pugilato in un torneo Elite, ed è fantastico farlo nella mia città natale.

Moreu attribuisce anche a suo padre gran parte del suo successo sul ring e nella vita. “È stato un genitore single, ma è sempre stato lì a fare del suo meglio per me come padre e allenatore,” Sharahya-Taina ha notato. “La maggior parte delle persone non sa che è portoricano, mia madre una nativa americana (pueblo).”

Come la maggior parte dei giovani, atleti d'élite, Sharahya-Taina ha un sogno. “2020 alle Olimpiadi,” ha concluso. “Voglio affermarmi come dilettante e alla fine diventare professionista e avere una buona carriera.”

Ancora più importante, anche se, Dean and his outstanding staff have reshaped the futures of countless youth in Greater Springfield, instilling an invaluable philosophy that, through amateur boxing, provides an opportunity for members to reshape their lives, in addition to making a significant difference in their communities.
From a storied past at the nearby Holyoke Boys & girls Club, Dean and his young boxers have a new home at MassMutual Center in Springfield, which will host the second stop of the USA Boxing USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour on Giovedi, Marzo 15.

Our program, primo, is youth development and second, boxe,” Fay explained. “We use boxing as a vehicle for valuable teaching lessons, embodying the same values of boxing: competition, cohesiveness and integrity. Springfield has had a long history in boxing. The Golden Gloves were held in Holyoke, one city over from Springfield, per 50 years before coming here. Golden Gloves has funded a lot of small gyms because many of these kids can’t afford fees. We’ve bridged the gap by hosting shows that raises money and creates fanbases.
“Nel corso degli anni, Marvin Hagler, Marlon Starling, Micky Ward, John Scully and so many others have come through USA Boxing programs in New England. Boxing represents life; how to conduct themselves in and out of the ring. Boxing is a small fraternity and boxers walk up those steps and through the ropes, in front of everybody, and confront their fears. Boxing is determined by judges and, nella vita, you are judged by how you live by laws. Life values are taught through boxing.
Hosting the USA-Boxing Northeast Boxing Tour gives kids in our program an opportunity to watch up close the top boxers who are representing their country. My kids realize that they could do that someday. They see the best boxers in the country and that’s where they want to be.
Anticipated Team USA boxers competing in Springfield include 2017 Elite medaglia di bronzo Campionato Mondiale Troy Isley (Alessandria, VA.), insieme a 2017 Elite World Championship team members delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), Virginia Fuchs (campo, TX), who won four international gold medals last year, e 2016 Campionato Mondiale della Gioventù e medaglia di bronzo 2017 USA Boxing Super Campione Nazionale Heavyweight, Richard Torrez (Tulare, COME). All boxers are subject to change.
Retired three-time, campione del mondo due divisioni Jose Antonio Rivera started boxing in Springfield before moving to another Western N.E. stronghold in Worcester (MA). Now promoting professional shows, Rivera excelled as an amateur, winning top honors at the New England Golden Gloves and twice in the Western N.E. Campionati, highlighted by a bronze-medal performance at the PAL Championships.

Two years earlier, he represented Ireland at the European Championships and one of his teammates was Billy Walsh, Team USA’s current head coach of Team USA and former chief trainer for Team Ireland.

McBride fought professionally between 1992-2011, retiring with a 35-10-1 (29 KO), highlighted by his shocking sixth-round knockout of Tyson in 2005, driving theBaddest Man on the Planetinto ring retirement.
I feel good about being honorary captain of Team Ireland,” remarked the still thickly Irish-brogue McBride, who still lives with his family in Dorchester. “I’m honored to be carrying the Irish flag for these fighters. I’m not sure how many of them remember me as the man who beat Tyson. I know some of the Irish coaches and I still support boxing in Ireland as well as America. I just love boxing. And it’s always a pleasure to be with my friend, Micky Ward. He’s a good lad.

MOLLE OLORADO, Giro. (Febbraio 22, 2018) – USA Boxing head coach Billy Walsh was the head coach of his native country’s amateur program in Ireland for 12 years and, ironicamente, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 USA vs. Irlanda Nord-Est Tour.
La 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 a 2015, and he took over Team USA in 2015, capturing the AIBA’s World Coach of the Year the past two years.
Gli Stati Uniti vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will commence Marzo 12 a Boston Royale Entertainment Complex, followed by match-ups on Marzo 15 presso il Centro MassMutual a Springfield, Mass., and Manchester, NH will close out tours onMarzo 21 al The Downtown Hotel di Manchester. Boxe avrà inizio alle 7:00 p.m. EST in tutte e tre le città.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at http://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. Ogni città presenterà fino a 12 estremità, each to be live-streamed, gratuito, sul sito di USA Boxing (www.usaboxing.org).

“Alla fine della giornata,” the 54-year-old Walsh admitted, “it is an unusual situation for me. But I’ve been coaching here two years and Team USA is my team now. I didn’t come here for just a few years. When I eventually leave, Team USA will have developed continuity and a solid program.
I am a true Irishman who developed through a system that won multiple titles and I was the Irish Team captain for five years. I’m helping develop strong relations between USA and Ireland that can help both programs. Ireland has been among the best of the worldamazing considering the geographical size of Irelandwith its fightersgreat hearts along with their technique and skill. There’s a lot of talent and resources in the states, but amateur boxers have been taught to develop skills more for professional boxing. Here there is a variety of different ethnic groups: Mexicans, African-American and Caucasians, troppo. It’s truly a melting pot and each has a unique style of boxing. We are now providing coaching education for US programs to be sustainable long term.
Boston, naturalmente, is known for being Irish friendly, per non dire altro. The Mayor of Boston, per esempio, è Marty Walsh. Coach Walsh has only been in Boston once, 10 years ago with his wife for a short holiday.
I didn’t do or get to see too much,” Walsh added. “but I know that there’s a lot of Irish history in Boston. Boston is a home away from home for the Irish. I have some friends and family there. I even joke that the mayor is my cousin. I understand that there are a lot of Irish in Springfield and Manchester, anche. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 a Boston

Fightin’ Irlandese” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Giro. (Febbraio 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ Irlandese” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, dopo il Great Potato Famine.
Many Irish and Irish-American boxers have fought in the Greater Boston area, some born and others resettling there. This rich tradition continues next month in a different way when the three-city 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off Lunedi, Marzo 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district. The Boston stop, which is being presented by Budweiser, will have general admission tickets for $20.00 and a limited amount of $30.00 reserved tickets go on sale today (Lunedi, Febbraio. 12) a 12 p.m. E are available to purchase online here.
Gli Stati Uniti vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue Marzo 15 presso il Centro MassMutual a Springfield, Mass., concluding Marzo 21 al The Downtown Hotel di Manchester nel New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 p.m. EST ed i biglietti saranno messi a disposizione per l'acquisto nelle prossime settimane. Ogni città presenterà fino a 12 estremità, che saranno tutti in diretta streaming, gratuito, sul sito di USA Boxing (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19th century with The Boston Strongboy,” Giovanni. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, MA), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the firstglovesworld heavyweight champion and finalbare knucklesheavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 di 38 lotte pro, 30 arrivando per knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 KO), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 KO), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 KO), and Charlestown welterweight Microfono “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 KO), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 KO)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “Irlandese” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 KO) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, tuttavia, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 KO), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion Floyd Patterson, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident Pietro “Uragano” McNeeley (47-7, 30 KO) famously was stopped in the opening round by “Ferro” Mike Tyson in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. In 1984, Irlanda-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 KO), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to Mike McCallum for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
Steve “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 KO) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody e Pat Petronelli, who handled Marvelous Marvin Hagler throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collins’ younger brother, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “The Clones ColossusMcBride (35-10-1, 29 KO), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, Billy Walsh, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, rispettivamente, in 1988 e 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket RocketMcCullough (27-7, 18 KO), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to Daniel Zaragoza.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and Jack Dempsey, is Lowell junior welterweight “Irlandese” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 KO), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with Arturo Gatti, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as Gary “Punta” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “Potere” Doheny (18-0, 13 KO), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Puntura” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 KO).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 Campionato del Mondo medaglia di bronzo Troy Isley(Alessandria, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (campo, Texas), che ha vinto quattro medaglie d'oro internazionali 2017, 2016 Campione del Mondo della Gioventù e 2017 Elite medaglia d'argento Campionati Continentali, delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH) e 2016 Campionato Mondiale della Gioventù e medaglia di bronzo 2017 USA Boxing Super Campione Nazionale Heavyweight, Richard Torrez (Tulare, COME). Un roster completo per ogni città sarà rilasciato più vicino al punto di partenza del tour.
