Leave sa usa ka comment

Tampa, FL (Mayo 2, 2022) – Like most who love the sweet science, undefeated middleweight Connor “The Kid” Coyle was fully engaged in the Katie Taylor–Amanda Serrano away.

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 KO ni), meets Antonio Todd in a ten round contest for the NABA middleweight title Sabado, Mayo 21 sa Caribe Royale in Orlando, FL. Coyle-Todd airs live on Bally Sports Network as part of the Entrobox Championship Boxing Series sa 9 pm et.

McCaskill eying showdowns with Taylor and Shields


Chicago, IL (Marso 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 ug 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, that would be great. 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 libra. Sa una, 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 sa 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

Leave sa usa ka comment

Boston (Pebrero 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), ang 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 trainer, Ross 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 trainer, Marc 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, sharp, 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, sa matinud-anon, 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 mikomentaryo: “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; Apan, 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”

The IBA plans to be in the forefront and we recently crowned our first woman world champion, strawweight Eva Guzman, of Venezuela. Sa 2019, we look forward to crowning many other women IBA world champions, in what the IBA is calling the Year of Women’s Boxing.”

Former IBA world champions during the past quarter-century include Hall-of-Famers Oscar de la Hoya, George foreman, Roberto Duran ug Arturo Gatti, as well as stars such as Roy Jones, Jr.,Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosely, Santiago Toney, Mikkel Kessler, Eric Morales, Diego Corrales, Jose Luis Castillo, Glen Johnson ug Antonio Tarver.

“Gibati nako nga gipasidunggan,” Naghisgot si Shields bahin sa pagpasulod sa USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” Ako ra 23 mga tuig ug masulod sa USA Boxing Hall of Fame usa ka dakong dungog, pero shock pud ko. Nagtuo ko nga takus ako sa bisan unsang kadungganan, pero kabalo ko nga naay time, ug ako kanunay naghunahuna nga ako ibutang sa Hall of Fame sa edad 40 o 50. Kini usa ka dako nga butang alang kanako ug gibati nako nga gipasidunggan. Ang paghisgot sa akong ngalan kauban ang mga ngalan sa mga bantugan sama nila Andre Ward ug Roy Jones nakapadasig gyud nako. Mibati kog pribilehiyo!”

Ang USA Boxing mipanalangin kanako og daghang kahibalo ug tibuok kinabuhi nga panaghigalaay uban sa tanan nakong mga kauban sa Olympic ug mga coach sa Olympic.. Akong paboritong coach, Kay Koroma, literal nga nag-uban kanako sa tibuok nga dalan 2015-2016, pagtabang kanako sa gawas sa singsing uban sa tambag ug sa sulod sa singsing.”

 

 

 

Ang Shields usa sa mga nagmaneho nga pwersa sa boksing sa mga babaye karon, nga nagdala sa sulo nga gitunol sa mga Amerikanong babaye nga mga pioneer sa boksing sama sa Christy Martin, Laila Ali ug uban pa.

 

 

 

“Adunay dakong kausaban nga nahitabo karon — kanako, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon Crews, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano ug pipila ka mga babaye ang nagdala sa sulo alang sa boksing sa mga babaye karon,” Gipasabot ni Shields. “Madasig ang pag-uswag, matag network adunay away sa mga babaye sa telebisyon karong tuiga, labi na sa Showtime, diin upat ka beses nako na-boxing ang main event. Mahimong layo ang boksing sa mga babaye. Nagtuo ko nga moabot ang adlaw nga mabayran ta og minilyon sama sa mga lalaki.”

“Nindot sa feeling nga mahimong role model ka nila (mga babaye), ug alang usab sa daghang mga lalaki nga boksidor,” Gipahibalo ni Shields. “Ang boksing naa sa lahi nga panahon ug gusto lang nako nga mas sayon ​​​​alang sa mga babaye nga moabut, busa sa dihang sila nahimong pro, ang boksing mas duol sa pagkaparehas.”

 

 

 

“Si Claressa adunay usa sa labing kadaghan nga istorya sa kasaysayan sa amateur boxing,” miingon Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “Iyang drive, pasalig, talento, ug ang kinaiya naghimo kaniya nga usa ka USA Boxing ug Olympic champion, nagbilin ug kabilin nga molungtad sa taas kaayong panahon.

The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank her for inspiring the amateur boxing community and serving as a great role model for the next generation of champions.”

Despite all the honors and accolades, she has so richly received, Shields hasn’t forgotten where it all started, and she’s still actively involved in USA Boxing.

 

 

 

“I keep in contact with a lot of the female athletes and give them advice if they ask me,” Claressa added. “I also went to Colorado for five days to be a motivator and keynote speaker for the Next Olympic Hopeful. After my career is over in about 15 ka tuig, I want to be a boxing trainer and lead the women’s team to more Olympic gold medals, if given the opportunity. I also want to be a school teacher and a counselor for youth.”

 

 

 

Ang mga taming, Subo, dili makatambong sa salo-salo sa Hall of Fame karong Biyernes sa gabii tungod kay anaa siya sa lawom nga pagbansay alang sa iyang pagdepensa sa mga titulo karong Sabado sa gabii sa HBO, live gikan sa StubHub Center sa Carson, California, batok sa Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Ikasubo,” Gitapos ni Shields, “Dili ko makaadto pero, kung naa ko, Moingon ko: Salamat sa USA Boxing sa pagsalig kanako sa edad nga 16. Usa ka kadungganan ang pagrepresentar sa Amerika, dili lang kausa kondili duha ka higayon sa Olympics! Nagpasalamat ko ni Coach Billy (Walsh) sa paghimo kanako sa pagkalot sa lawom, pinaagi sa pag-atubang sa iyang Irish nga mga paagi ug mga komedya, alang usab sa pagbag-o sa kultura sa USA Boxing. Espesyal nga pasalamat ni coach Kay, usab, Dili nako maihap sa akong mga kamot kung pila ka adlaw ang among gibansay 1 sa buntag, kapila nako nanuktok sa iyang kwarto ug nidagan, kapila na niya gikuha akong phone kay naghilak ko or naay problema sa pamilya. Siya ang coach nga akong masulti sa tanan, ug gibendisyonan pud ko niya sa iyang kaalam sa boksing ug gipafeel nako kanunay nga luwas sa akong kaugalingon kung naa siya sa suok. Ang USA Boxing dili lang kawani – Pamilya ang USA Boxing! Bisan tuod ako adunay pipila ka mga pulong uban sa Matthew Johnson ug uban pang kawani, Nagpasalamat ko nila sa pagkatig-a nako ug pagsiguro nga akong gidumala ang akong mga responsibilidad. Gugma sa tanang kawani sa USA Boxing, Nagpasalamat gyud ko.”

 

 

 

Ang Claressa Shields labaw pa sa kampeon sa kalibutan ug Olympian, class act man siya, eksakto kung unsa ang gikinahanglan kaayo karon.

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

Leave sa usa ka comment


SAN ANTONIO, TX (Disyembre 18, 2017) – The two most avoided female boxers’ in the country are about to face each other, in what looks to be an all-out war, when undefeated sensation, lightweight Selina “Aztec Queen” Kasilinganan, takes on the dangerous “Lovely” 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 sa Disyembre 29, 2017, sa 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, Kasilinganan’ 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, who defeated 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. Uban niana nga nga miingon, 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 sa London

Leave sa usa ka comment
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.
Sa Miyerkules, Disyembre 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, England, 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, rated #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 London Olympics, 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. Sa pagkatinuod, 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. Ako dili maghulat!”
Mahitungod sa Warriors Boxing
Gilunsad sa 2003, Warriors Boxing naglihok ubos sa usa ka yano nga pilosopiya-nga dad-on sa labing maayo nga boksidor sa kalibutan sa pagpakig-away fans, pagpares kanila sa competitive bouts, ug sa pagbuhat sa ingon tabang re-establisar sa sport sa boxing alang sa usa ka bag-ong kaliwatan.

RAYNE, LA (Nobyembre 2, 2017) – Two days after Halloween, unbeaten female sensation, lightweight Selina “Aztec Queen” Kasilinganan (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, ug karon 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. I’ve always said, 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, Ako dili sa bisan asa, 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 and of course, Katie Taylor, I’m willing to fight you guys anytime, bisan asa. Sama sa ako miingon, at some point, you will all have to fight me.”
