Syracuse’s Amir Anderson Goes from underdog to top dog

2020 Национално първенство по бокс в САЩ

Море. 25-Април. 4, в Шривпорт, Louisiana 

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Март 8, 2021) – In the 2019 Национално първенство по бокс в САЩ, Amir Anderson was a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (N.Y.), but this year he believes he’s one of the “top dogs” in the 165-pound decision.

Anderson will be competing in the youth division at the 2020 САЩ Национално първенство по бокс, отложено поради пандемията на COVID-19 от миналия декември до март 25 Април 3, в Шривпорт, The.

Anderson’s goal at these championships is simple: he wants to win to lock down a slot on the USA Boxing Youth Team, which will give him a leg up in terms of qualifying for the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

“The winner in each weight class qualifies for the USA Boxing Youth Team,” he explained. “Runner-ups are alternates and can make the team if the winner can’t for whatever reason. Искам да спечеля! 

“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. Сега, I have everything to lose. I do my research and breakdown other fighters in my weight class. I’ll be more focused this time because I was an underdog then and now, I’m the top dog in my division.”

The 17-year-old Anderson has already tasted success, capturing top honors at the 2019 Junior Open and 2019 Източна регионална отворена, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 Национална юношеска олимпиада.

Still a high school senior, Amir describes himself as an all-around boxer with a unique style in which he can box or bang, hit the angles and throw a lot of punches.

Like every amateur boxer, last year was a tremendous challenge to train, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. “I trained six hours a day in my basement to get in really good workouts,” Anderson said. “And I ran my miles, твърде. When my gym opened-up last July 2ри, it was limited so I had to still workout in my basement. It was hard to stay focused, but I knew how.

“I really planned to win a lot of regional and national tournaments to get national recognition. I wanted to fight in Bulgaria with the junior team, but that was canceled, твърде. The pandemic was a setback for me, but we’ll see what’s in store for 2021.”

The National Championships is the first trip towards Amir Anderson’s Parisian goal for 2024 at the Olympics.

2020 Национално първенство по бокс в САЩМоре. 25-Април. 4, в Шривпорт, Louisiana

Колорадо Спрингс, Скут. (Март 1, 2021) — Близнаци в Тексас Закачка (L) и Йордания (R) Дженкинс са на мисия да станат първите близнаци, които някога са били в отбор на САЩ, олимпийски отбор по бокс.


И двамата ще се състезават в елитната дивизия на 2020 САЩ Национално първенство по бокс, отложено поради пандемията на COVID-19 от миналия декември до март 25 – Април 3, в Шривпорт, Louisiana.


Близнаците Дженкинс са преодолели множество препятствия в Далас, преди всичко бащиното дълго затваряне, впоследствие влиза в проблеми и постоянно се бори с другите в училище. И това дори не включва ограничения за COVID-19, които ограничиха времето в салона и премахнаха турнирното състезание през последната година.


Те имаха късмета да имат дядо си, късните Гилфорд Чайлдрес, който е бил най-значимото мъжко влияние в живота им. „Играехме всички спортове, но се сблъсквахме в битки в училище,”По-голям брат от 1 минута Джош каза. „Дядо ни ни заведе във фитнеса, но майка ни не искаше да боксираме. Той и моят кръстник, Дарил Томас, който също беше фигура на баща за нас, ни обучи. Дядо ни идваше на училище, когато имахме проблеми. Той беше нашият дисциплинар. Той щеше да ни изведе веднага от тренировките във фитнеса или да ни спре да спаринг за две седмици. Той не искаше просто да бъдем боксьори, той искаше да станем зрели мъже.


"Преди две години, Грег Хатли стана наш треньор. Всичко се промени за нас, когато започнахме да се обучаваме от треньора Хатли. Нашите стилове са напълно променени, и започнахме да се установяваме на ринга, и бране на петна. Треньорът Хатли оказа голямо влияние върху живота ни. Той ни научи как да бъдем мъже. Той е покривник и ни научи как да покриваме, сменете маслото и гумите, и запазете парите ни за по-късно. "


Близнаците работят за Amazon в склад. Джордан е скандален лек, докато полусредната категория Джош е по-скоро боксьор. Сменяли ли са някога места и са се биели под името на другия? „Всички ни питат това,- засмя се Джордан. "Не, Джош е по-голям от мен. "


Те се състезават в елитната дивизия през последните няколко години, и двамата са стигнали до полуфиналите на големите турнири, но са готови да излязат на предстоящото национално първенство.


Близнаците Дженкинс са повлияли на обучението си. като повечето други любители боксьори, но не ужасно, и все пак различно от това, с което бяха свикнали. Първоначално имаше ограничения във фитнеса им, но след като се отвориха ограничения, те успяха да тренират по-често, разпределени повече от нормално във фитнеса, докато тренирате, и COVID-19 тествани ежемесечно.


Мечтата за „Twin Nation”, измислени от дядо им, когато Джош и Джордан бяха в седми клас, се превръща в първите близнаци в отбора на САЩ по бокс олимпийски отбор, нещо закъснял дядо им спомена за първи път. „Искаме да бъдем първите близнаци в американския олимпийски отбор по бокс, за да могат децата да ни гледат,- отбеляза Джордан. „Искаме да докажем, че децата, определени като лоши, все още могат да бъдат успешни да растат в среда като нашата. Много приятели, с които сме израснали, са мъртви или в затвора. Работили сме, за да променим живота си и гледаме напред към Париж (сайт на 2024 Летни олимпийски игри)."


Тяхното забележително пътешествие достига ново ниво при гражданите. Те не бързат да стават професионалисти, всеки. Ох, и двамата възнамеряват да бъдат професионални боксьори, но само когато са готови като тандем.


„Ние сме смирени,- заключи Джош. „Имахме много неравности и натъртвания. Можехме да отидем наляво или надясно. Много наши приятели тръгнаха по един път, но ние тръгнахме по другия път, и
станаха боксьори. "

Колорадо Спрингс, COLO. (Седем. 18) – USA Boxing обяви днес 2020 USA Boxing National Championships will now take place at the Shreveport Convention Center in Shreveport, The., Декември. 5-12.

“Hurricane Laura wreaked havoc on the city of Lake Charles and rendered their Civic Center inhospitable for this year’s National Championships. This came on top of the pandemic which already nearly wiped out the 2020 National Tournament calendar,” посочен Michael Campbell, USA Boxing Events and Operations Manager. “Our events staff immediately pivoted and was determined to replace the event with as little disruption as possible for our coaches and boxers that had been training with their goals fixed on participating in this event to end the year.”

“Shreveport stepped up quickly to provide us a great alternative within the same footprint as the planned event, therefore we could keep our same scheduled dates and remain in the great state of Louisiana. Shreveport will provide good accessibility, weather and hospitality for our members and their Convention Center will be ideal for the implementation of our #BackToBoxing protocols that are designed to ensure the safety of our boxers, треньори, officials and members of the community.”

“Шривпорт, Bossier City, and the State of Louisiana are proud to host the 2020 National Boxing Championships in December,” каза Kelly Wells, Executive Director for the Shreveport-Bossier Sports Commission. “Primarily, I would like to acknowledge my unwavering respect for Lake Charles and their investment in USA Boxing, which ultimately highlights Louisiana as a destination for national, elite sporting events.”
“As they recover from the detrimental effects of Hurricane Laura, Shreveport-Bossier is excited to keep this event within our state, which is expected to bring an estimated $2 million in economic impact to the area. We’re honored to welcome approximately 1,000 athletes to Shreveport-Bossier, as well as their coaches, приятели, families and other boxing enthusiasts. On behalf of the Sports Commission team and Shreveport-Bossier community, I would like to thank the USA Boxing family for entrusting us with this incredible event, as well as Lt. Governor Nungesser, the Louisiana Office of Tourism, the Shreveport Convention Center, Hilton Shreveport and the local boxing community. We’ll deliver nothing less than world-class hospitality in sportsman’s paradise.”
Registration for the event will open Oct. 1. The fact sheet, which will include check-in information, hotels and schedule will be released in the coming days.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Legacy Борба Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 с 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, Arizona, and Louisiana.

Основното събитие на LFA 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 30 – Милендър срещу. Barnes takes place Петък, January 12th at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, Калифорния.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. В основното събитие, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “The Wolfman” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place Петък, January 19th at the Comerica Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. В основното събитие, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. В съвместно хедлайнер, red-hot Ryan “Свръхчовек” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Петък, 26 яну в хотел Golden Nugget & Казино в Лейк Чарлз, Louisiana.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 p.m. И / 6 p.m. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, Обявената Соареш. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Mill Завършва (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
Основното събитие на LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. На хартия, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Обаче, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). Мъжът, известен като “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
ко-главното събитие на LFA на 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Свръхчовек” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 минути и 28 секунди.
През Септември 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) като се започне през януари 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 спортисти, които са достигнали върха на ВМА, като се конкурират в UFC.

Основното събитие на LFA 23 will feature the first title defense of LFA welterweight champion Derrick “D-Rock” Кранц. The Texan powerhouse will defend his world title against undefeated super prospect James Nakashima. ко-главното събитие на LFA на 23 will feature the first title defense of LFA women’s flyweight champion Andrea “KGB” Завет.

“Derrick Krantz and Andrea Lee will defend their LFA world titles in Bossier City onSeptember 22nd,” Обявената Соареш. “Krantz is a ruthless finisher that can end a fight with one punch. He will face the top welterweight prospect in the sport in James Nakashima. Lee is the first female champion in LFA history and will defend her title against the battle-tested U.S. Army veteran Jamie Thorton. LFA 23 will be another great night of MMA in Louisiana with a pair of fantastic world title fights.”
There are a limited amount of tickets still available, and can be reserved by calling318-453-3730
Основното събитие на LFA 23 will feature one of the most intriguing and high-stakes title fights of the year. The LFA welterweight title will be contested between a proud no-nonsense champion and a can’t miss blue-chip title challenger.

Кранц (20-9) captured the inaugural LFA welterweight championship in May with a tour de force that left MMA purists in a state of exhilaration and his opponent Ben Neumann in a complete daze. The Texan powerhouse unleashed his loaded fistolas early in the second round of their title fight and left Minnesota with a second world championship. Две години по-рано, Krantz accomplished a nearly identical feat in the same state against UFC vet Brock Larson to win the Legacy FC welterweight title. Now that Krantz once again has gold firmly wrapped around his waist, he plans on adding some shine to that strap with his first title defense at LFA 23. The LFA kingpin now has his sights set on a blue-chip super prospect in one of MMA’s most pivotal title fights of the year.
Nakashima (7-0) is a special talent. His wrestling pedigree, fearless striking ability, and willingness to engulf himself in every aspect of martial arts has made him the surefire welterweight prospect that MMA pundits have eagerly been waiting for. Some experts argue, that no one in the division has started their career by dominating the level of competition that Nakashima has faced since Georges St-Pierre and Ben Askren. While the Illinois native and University of Nebraska wrestling standout has a long way to go before having his MMA accolades compared to “GSP” и “Funky”, he has undoubtedly taken his division by storm. The John Crouch protégé is not one to rest on his laurels. He has now signed on the dotted line to challenge the feared LFA world champion Derrick Krantz at LFA 23.
Завет (7-2) is one of the most talented female fighters in the world and a popular pick among fight fans to be the face of the newly announced UFC women’s flyweight division once the division takes hold later this year. “KGB” possesses a dynamic skill set, undeniable southern charm, and signature cowgirl accoutrements that has made her one of the most recognizable and adored fighters in the sport. The 28-year-old champion is now ready to defend her title on her adopted home turf of northern Louisiana. Lee is a dead shot on the feet and a submission savvy opportunist on the ground. She now looks to add a successful title defense to her résumé after a lengthy list of potential challengers pulled out, were denied travel visas, got injured, or decided against facing the fierce champion.
“I am more than ready to defend my LFA world title and put on a show for the fans,” Lee exclaimed. “This will be my fourth fight this year. I will show everyone why I am the best flyweight in the world on September 22nd!”
Thorton (4-3) is only one of a few women who was up to the task of challenging the champion Andrea Lee. The 33-year-old 82nd Airborne Army veteran has seen it all when it comes to combat. According to Special-Ops.org, the 82nd Airborne Division is an elite airborne infantry division of the U.S. Армия, specializing in parachute assault operations into denied areas. That expertise will come in handy as she prepares to enter hostile territory to dethrone Lee at LFA 23. Everything about Thorton’s career points to the fact that she is an all-or-nothing kind of fighter. “Pretty Assassin” won four of her first five fights, including three straight finishes in under one minute. The most telling sign of Thorton’s go for broke style is the fact she has never seen a fight go out of the first round in seven pro bouts.
