Coyle inspired by Katie Taylor’s performance

Tampa, Florida (Maig 2, 2022) – Like most who love the sweet science, invicte pes mitjà Connor “The Kid” Coyle was fully engaged in the Katie TaylorAmanda Serrano lluita.

Following four fast-paced and competitive rounds, Serrano rocked Taylor in the fifth with a left hook followed by a left cross. Taylor was in bad shape and nearly tasted the canvas for the first time in her career but managed to finish the round on her feet.


Serrano kept the momentum over the next few rounds as she appeared to be headed towards the biggest win of her great career. Taylor impressively turned the tides in the final three rounds of the contest, finding her second wind and outfighting Serrano en route to a split decision victory.


“What an incredible fight that was – major credit to both women” said Coyle, who trained with Taylor in Dublin when both were amateurs. “Katie really had to overcome a lot of adversity against Serrano especially in the fifth round. Katie showed incredible heart and came through like a champion. She’s a true warrior and great inspiration for me heading into the most important fight of my career.”


Coyle, 15-0 (7 Nocauts), meets Antonio Todd in a ten round contest for the NABA middleweight title Dissabte, Maig 21 al Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Coyle-Todd airs live on Bally Sports Network com a part de la Entrobox Championship Boxing Series a 9 pm et.

Undisputed Welterweight Champion Jessica McCaskill looking for Biggest names in Boxing

McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields


Chicago, Illinois (Març 17, 2021) – Fresh off her second consecutive victory over future Hall of Famer, Cecilia Braekhus, undisputed welterweight champion, Jessica McCaskill is looking to fight the biggest names on the female circuit.


McCaskill of Chicago, easily outpointed the legendary Braekhus by scores of 100-89, 99-90 i 98-91 to win her fifth consecutive and raise her record to 10-2.


I felt my aggression was really good, just keeping the pressure non-stop, and we are ready for what is next. She was running in, and crowded herself, and I figured if she was going to run in, I would have to get at least one or two shots off, and she kept doing it, so I kept doing it as well. I wanted to move and show some more angles, but she kept coming straight in, so she was right there,” said McCaskill.


A fight with Katie Taylor might be the next thing on the agenda. If that is what it is, Seria fantàstic. If that does not work out, then there are a couple of other names out there. As for Claressa Shields, McCaskill thinks a fight with her can happen, “That could be a possibility if Claressa could come down to 147 lliura. Primer, she said that she would not give up any weight, and now she is saying she would, so we are just going to have to see if they are going to take this seriously.

Said McCaskill’s promoter, Leon Margules de Warriors Boxing, “Jessica proved yet again that she is one of the top fighters in the world. She has now dominated the fighter that has been the long-time pound for top boxer. We would love to fight anyone, and a fight with Katie Taylor would most certainly have a different outcome then their first fight. Fights with Taylor or Claressa would be historic fights as it would match two of the reigning undisputed champions against each other.

Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. Benefited from sparring with undisputed world lightweight champion Katie Taylor

BOSTON (Febrer 17, 2021) – Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr.  hasn’t made his pro debut yet, but he did get the opportunity to recently spar with undisputed world lightweight championKatie Taylor (17-0, 6 KOs), la 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ireland, who was a 5-time AIBA world champion as an amateur.

The 28-year-old Anderson, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, was supposed to make his pro debut earlier this year in Mexico. He showed up but his opponent tested positive for COVID-19 and their fight was canceled.

Taylor frequently travels from Ireland to Connecticut, where she prepares for fights with her trainerRoss Enamait.    

Anderson, a union Sheetmetal worker in local 17, was a decorated amateur who won a gold medal at the 2016 Rocky Marciano Tournament, as well as The New England’s Tournament twice in 2018-2019, and won Central Division of the New England Golden Gloves Tournament twice and runner-up twice during his four-year (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson benefitted from being a southpaw when his trainerMarc Gargaro, was contacted by Enamait about needing a lefthanded sparring partner for Taylor. “I’ve only sparred with her once,” Anderson said, “but I believe I will be getting more work with Katie at her training camp in the near future. I’ve already been asked back for more sparring.

“In the ring, Katie is patient, agut, and quick with her combinations. She also doesn’t waste any movements all all. She is very tough and aggressive. Outside the ring, she is very nice, always smiling when talking, and a generous, decent human being.”

There’s nothing better for a young boxer than to train and spar with a world-class athlete, even if it’s a female against a male, the experience in invaluable.

I believe getting experience with a world champion helped me build up my confidence. It definitely opened my mind and eyes to trying new things like different movements and combinations, as well as make sure my defense and foot work was on point. Learning to become better at changing the tempo of combinations I was throwing. Also, realizing the things Katie did during and after sparring, understanding her mentality, and letting me know and see what it takes to be the best in the world, will help me grow big-time as a boxer.

“It is a little different sparring a woman but, honestament, it helped me work on my craft in areas I’ve been trying to improve on. I am still available to give and get good, solid work and effort. It’s expanding my mind, I was still able to pick and choose when to dig hard shots to make sure I was still solidly sparring for her, unlike with guys’ majority of punches are thrown hard.

Ortiz’ managerRyan Roach comentat: “This is a great opportunity for Troy. Anytime you share the ring with a world champion, even sparring, is a great way to elevate your level of confidence. As many know there are a lot of levels to this sport and these opportunities are crucial in building a fighter. I am really proud of Troy. His debut got pushed back, but he’s stayed in the gym and remains positive waiting for his shot. He has a great coach and team at Nonantum Boxing.”

Sparring Taylor may not have erased the disappointment of Anderson’s pro debut being canceled; però, the experience will surely make him a better fighter.

“Sparring a world champion was unbelievable,” Anderson concluded. “Just having the opportunity to step foot in the ring with world champion Katie Taylor was amazing. Literally, leading up to the day of sparring, that’s all I could focus on and think about. I was extremely locked in, because I wanted to give Katie Taylor good work and show her that reaching out to my coach Marc was not a mistake, and his words about me were solid. Seeing how Katie is when moving, throwing combinations, and on defense picking and choosing when to be aggressive and not, is unexplainable. It was truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the experience and opportunity to be able to spar with a world champion, Katie Taylor”

L'IBA té previst estar al capdavant i recentment hem coronat la nostra primera dona campiona del món, pes de palla Eva Guzmán, de Veneçuela.

CLARESSA SHIELDS INTRODUCIDA AL SALÓ DE LA FAMA DE L'ASSOCIACIÓ D'EXAUMNIS DE BOIXA DELS EUA

Obrint el camí per a les boxejades…..
Claressa Escuts
“La boxa dels EUA és una família!”
Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA, classe de 2018 Incorporat

COLORADO SPRINGS, Volta. (Desembre 3, 2018) – Medalla d'or olímpica en dues ocasions Claressa Escuts no només està encapçalant una nova onada en la boxa femenina, s'ha convertit en un veritable model per a innombrables joves.

 

 

 

Shields serà incorporat al Saló de la Fama de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA aquest divendres a la nit a Salt Lake City, juntament amb Classe de 2018 membres Roy Jones Jr. i, Andre Ward, així com el tardà Emanuel Stewarti Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

La segona recepció anual del Saló de la Fama de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA, celebrada conjuntament amb la 2018 Campionats nacionals d'elit i juvenil de boxa dels EUA i Open de preparació i júnior, Desembre 2-8, se celebrarà al desembre 7, a l'hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) a Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

“Em sento honrat,” Shields va parlar de ser incorporat al Saló de la Fama de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA,” jo només sóc 23 anys i ser inclòs al Saló de la Fama de la Boxa dels EUA és un gran honor, però també un xoc per a mi. Crec que sóc digne de qualsevol honor, però sé que les coses prenen temps, i sempre vaig pensar que entraria al Saló de la Fama a l'edat 40 o 50. Això és molt important per a mi i em sento molt honrat. Només que es mencioni el meu nom juntament amb noms de grans com Andre Ward i Roy Jones em motiva realment. Em sento privilegiada!”

 

 

 

L'orgull de Flint, Michigan, Shields ja ha portat amb èxit el seu èxit amateur a les files professionals, en la qual es troba 7-0 (2), i el regnant unificat (FIB, AMB & CMB) campió de pes mitjà del món.

 

 

 

Shields va acabar la seva carrera amateur amb un increïble 77-1 (18 KOs) registre, destacat per les seves actuacions amb la medalla d'or olímpica a 2012 i 2016. No ha perdut al ring des de llavors 2012, quan Savannah Marshall (Anglaterra) guanyat a punts, 14-8, al Campionat del Món de la Xina.

 

 

 

“USA Boxing va entrar a la meva vida com a campió olímpic júnior dues vegades,” Claressa va explicar la seva relació amb la boxa als EUA. “L'ajuda d'USA Boxing va ser molt important: només em vaig adonar com a jove atleta i saber que seria una dona jove forta per representar els EUA en el futur; reunió Julie Goldsticker, que va ser una benedicció per a mi, ja que em va ajudar molt quan era adolescent, i només tenir l'entrenador Abdullah, entrenador A l'Mitchell, i entrenador Glòria Peek Ensenyeu-me diferents estils i com utilitzar tots els meus atributs. La boxa dels EUA em va beneir amb molts coneixements i amistats de tota la vida amb tots els meus companys olímpics i entrenadors olímpics.. El meu entrenador preferit, Koroma, literalment va estar amb mi durant tot el camí 2015-2016, ajudant-me fora del ring amb consells i dins del ring.”

 

 

 

Shields és un dels motors de la boxa femenina actual, portant la torxa lliurada per pioneres americanes de la boxa com ara Christy Martin, Laila Ali i uns quants més.

 

 

 

“En aquests moments hi ha un gran canvi — em, Mikaela Mayer, Equips de Franchon, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano i algunes dones més porten ara mateix la torxa de la boxa femenina,” Escuts explicats. “El progrés ha estat ràpid, totes les xarxes han tingut una lluita de dones a la televisió aquest any, sobretot Showtime, en què he encaixat l'esdeveniment principal quatre vegades. La boxa femenina pot arribar lluny. Crec que arribarà el dia en què se'ns pugui pagar milions igual que els homes.”

 

 

 

Obrint portes i trencant obstacles, Claressa s'ha convertit en un autèntic model per als joves de tot arreu, dins i fora de la boxa.

 

 

 

“Se sent bé ser un model per a ells (femelles), i també per a tants boxejadors masculins,” Escuts assenyalat. “La boxa està en una època diferent i només vull facilitar que les noies arribin, així que quan es tornen professionals, la boxa estarà més a prop de la igualtat.”

 

 

 

“Claressa té una de les històries més grans de la història de la boxa amateur,” dit Chris Cugliari, Director executiu de l'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA. “La seva conducció, compromís, talent, i el caràcter la van convertir en una campiona olímpica i de boxa dels EUA, deixant un llegat que durarà molt de temps. És una pionera de la boxa femenina i s'ha consolidat com un dels membres més influents dels EUA Boxing Alumni de tots els temps.. L'Associació d'Antics Alumnes de Boxa dels EUA vol agrair-li per inspirar la comunitat de boxa amateur i servir com a gran model per a la propera generació de campions.”

Malgrat tots els honors i elogis, ha rebut tan ricament, Shields no ha oblidat on va començar tot, i encara participa activament a la boxa dels EUA.

 

 

 

“Estic en contacte amb moltes de les esportistes i els dono consells si em demanen,” va afegir la Claressa. “També vaig anar a Colorado durant cinc dies per ser un motivador i un ponent principal del Next Olympic Hopeful. Després que la meva carrera s'acabi aproximadament 15 any, Vull ser entrenadora de boxa i portar l'equip femení a més medalles d'or olímpiques, si es dona l'oportunitat. També vull ser professor d'escola i orientador de joventut.”

 

 

 

Escuts, desafortunadament, no pot assistir a la recepció del Saló de la Fama d'aquest divendres a la nit perquè està en un profund entrenament per a la defensa dels seus títols aquest dissabte al vespre a HBO, en directe des del Centre StubHub de Carson, Califòrnia, contra Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Tristament,” Escuts conclòs, “No hi puc ser però, si jo hi fos, diria jo: Gràcies a USA Boxing per creure en mi als anys 16. Va ser un honor representar Amèrica, no només una, sinó dues vegades als Jocs Olímpics! Dono les gràcies a l'entrenador Porra (Walsh) per fer-me cavar profundament, en haver de fer front a les seves maneres i acudits irlandesos, també per canviar la cultura de la boxa dels EUA. Un agraïment especial a l'entrenador Kay, també, No puc comptar amb les meves mans quants dies vam entrenar 1 del matí, quantes vegades vaig trucar a la porta de la seva habitació i vaig córrer, quantes vegades m'ha hagut de treure el telèfon perquè plorava o tenia un problema familiar. És l'entrenador a qui li podria dir-ho tot, i també em va beneir amb els seus coneixements de boxa i em va fer sentir sempre segur en mi mateix quan estava a la cantonada.. USA Boxing no és només personal – La boxa dels EUA és una família! Tot i que he tingut algunes paraules amb Matthew Johnson i altre personal, Els agraeixo haver estat dur amb mi i assegurar-se que vaig assumir les meves responsabilitats. Amor a tot el personal de boxa dels EUA, Estic realment agraït.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields és molt més que campiona mundial i olímpica, ella també és un acte de classe, exactament el que es necessita desesperadament avui.

Selina Barrios vs. Lisa Porter NABF Lightweight Title On The Line



SANT ANTONI, TX (Desembre 18, 2017)The two most avoided female boxersin the country are about to face each other, in what looks to be an all-out war, when undefeated sensation, lleuger Selina “reina asteca” Barris, takes on the dangerous “preciós” Lisa Porter.
On the line will be the NABF lightweight title, as both fighters were granted by the NABF committee to fight for this respected belt. The 10-round bout will take place at the Rapides Parish Coliseum a Desembre 29, 2017, a Alexandria, LA. The only other female pro to fight for a major title this quickly is 2-time gold medalist Clarissa Shields.
When everyone in the lightweight division has refused to fight Barrios or Porter, the two agreed to fight each other. Barrios is a winner of four Ringside World Amateur Titles to go along with her many national championships. Porter was a decorated amateur herself, winning three National PAL championships, US Golden Gloves, and was a US National Silver medalist. Both fighters are coming in with undefeated records.
To put things in perspective, Barris’ last opponent Jasmine Clarkson, was world champion Katie Taylor’s sixth opponent, before Taylor fought for the WBA world title. In Porter’s case, she fought to a draw with Katonya Fisher, qui va derrotar Jessica McCaskill, who is just went the distance with Taylor for WBA world title.
I’m very excited to be fighting for the NABF title,” said Selina Barrios. “All I want is an opportunity to win a world title, and winning the NABF belt will get me closer to my dream of becoming a world champion. I know I’m going to be facing a dangerous opponent in Lisa Porter, but nothing comes easy in boxing. Amb això es diu, I’m willing to fight anyone they put in front of me. I’m confident I can win this fight. I just want to fight the best and prove I’m elite.
I’m glad Selina Barrios and I have come to an agreement to make this fight happen, especially for the NABF title,” stated Lisa Porter. “It’s been tough getting opponents to step in the ring with me, so this is truly a blessing. I’m very grateful to the folks at the NABF for sanctioning this fight. Selina Barrios is going to be a tough test, but one I believe I can pass. The fans are going to see a great fight.
With Selina being the most avoided female fighter in boxing, I had to do my part on getting her ranked by the NABF,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “It’s not going to be an easy road to the top. There’s a lot of good fighters out there with a lot of experience that she’s going to have to fight. That will be the case when Selina steps in the ring with Lisa Porter, who has a plethora of amateur experience. She, also is one of the most avoided fighters in the lightweight division. This will be a battle of two fighters who are putting everything on the line to advance their career to the next level.

Jessica McCaskill Gets Her Wish to Face Katie Taylor: Social Media Challenges Turn to Women’s Super Fight on December 13 a Londres

Christmas comes a little early this year for hard-punching Warriors Boxing lightweight Jessica ‘CasKILLA’ McCaskill.

All year, she and manager/trainer Rick Ramos have been expressing their wish, via social media, to face Irish gold medalist turned professional world champion Katie Taylor.
En Dimecres, Desembre 13, they will get their wish, as Chicago-based McCaskill (5-1, 3 KOs) will challenge Taylor (7-0, 4 KOs) for her WBA Lightweight Championship at York Hall in London, Anglaterra, and live before a massive audience on Sky Sports.
I’m relieved. I’ve been working toward this fight for a long time,” said McCaskill, Qualificació #2 in the world at 135 lbs and #1 in the United States in women’s boxing. “We have been training for this fight since my last fight because we knew it was coming and we’ve definitely bumped up the intensity.
Before turning professional a year ago, the popular Taylor, from Bray, won lightweight gold at the 2012 Jocs Olímpics de Londres, as well as an impressive assortment of world and European amateur championships. Known as the Irish athlete of her entire generation, Taylor is regarded as a superstar in the UK because of her aggressive and crowd-pleasing style.
I’ve never watched a full fight of hers,” professed McCaskill. “I’ve seen some highlights. I see mistakes she makes, but it’s not so much what I see in her. It’s what I see in all her opponents. They’ve all been scared of her. I am not. You won’t see any fear in me. Everybody else was terrified to engage her. They just showed up. I’ll be fighting to the last bell.
Much of the credit for landing the fight must go to Ramos, who doggedly pursued Taylor and her promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, on social media.
I felt like offended about comments Katie and Eddie made about how no one wants to fight her,” explained Ramos. “I remember thinking, ‘well, NO ONE called Jessica. We would love to fight Katie!’ That kind of started everything. Eddie Hearn finally did contact me via Instagram and things started getting real. I was happy that my social-media tactic worked!”
McCaskill, who also works full-time in Regulatory and Reporting at R.J. O’Brien & Associates investment bank in Chicago, says she’s not intimidated about stepping into Taylor’s home field for this fight. De fet, she’s expecting a number of her fans to be there as well.
It’s funny because of my job and my previous investment banking job, I have a lot of contacts and friends over there who are excited to show up for me. My company I work for has a branch that is three miles from the venue. I’ll be expecting a lot of fans there for me as well that night. It would be incredible to headline over there and to break her undefeated record and get my first world title in one night in front of them. No puc esperar!”

RAYNE, LA (Novembre 2, 2017)Two days after Halloween, unbeaten female sensation, lleuger Selina “reina asteca” Barris (2-0, 1 KO), has spooked her opponent, Zarina Tsoloyeva (Pro Debut) from Zhaksy, Kazakhstan, as she backed out of their scheduled 4-round bout, set to take place today at The Rayne Civic Center in Louisiana. Tsoloyeva refused to step on the scale at yesterdays weigh-in.
Selina Barrios is one of the most avoided female fighters in the United States and now Kazakhstan. Ebony Jones from Alabama, Alpha Patricia Lopez from Mexico, i ara Zarina Tsoloyeva from Kazakhstan, all signed to fight Selina but backed out to fight her at the last minute. Jones and Lopez were no shows, while Tsoloyeva who is from the distant land of Kazakhstan, showed up to the weigh-in, but declined to step on the scale.
I was willing to fight Zarina Tsoloyeva, the decorated amateur from Kazakhstan, but she pulled out at the last minute, like my last two opponents.said Selina Barrios from San Antonio. “It’s been very difficult getting opponents to fight me. sempre ho he dit, I don’t care who they put in front of me, I’ll fight anyone. I have that much confidence in my skills. I have no choice but to move on, but I’m respectfully sending a message to everyone in the lightweight and super-lightweight divisions, Jo no vaig enlloc, eventually you will all have to fight me.
Nothing will derail Selina as she stays positive and continues to work hard, looking for that opportunity to challenge the best the lightweight and super-lightweight divisions has to offer. Selina’s handlers must now move her to six and eight round bouts right away, to chip away and get to a championship fight as she gains more ring experience as a professional.
Looking at all the top lightweights and super-lightweights, I predict Selina will fight for a world championship before her tenth fight,” said advisor Kerry Daigle. “Possibly by fight number seven or eight. We’re going to move her into six and eight rounders moving forward. I’m already in talks with the sanctioning bodies to get her ranked.
If no one wants to fight me, then I’m calling out all the name fighters in the division,” Selina Barrios continued. “Amanda Serrano, Mikaela Mayer, Jessica McCaskill I per descomptat, Katie Taylor, I’m willing to fight you guys anytime, on sigui. Com vaig dir, at some point, you will all have to fight me.
