Syracuse’s Amir Anderson Goes from underdog to top dog

发表评论

2020 USA National Boxing Championships

海. 25-四月. 4, in Shreveport, 路易斯安那州 

科罗拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (三月 8, 2021) – In the 2019 USA National Boxing Championships, 阿米尔·安德森 was a relatively unknown competitor from Syracuse (纽约州), 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 美国拳击全国锦标赛, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 四月 3, in Shreveport, 的。

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. 我要赢! 

“Last time I had nothing to lose at Nationals. 现在, 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 少年公开赛和 2019 东部地区公开赛, in addition to finishing in the runner-up position at the 2018 & 2019 全国青少年奥林匹克运动会。

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, 太. When my gym opened-up last July 2ND, 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, 太. 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.

Texas Twins Jordan & Josh Jenkins on special Mission to Write American Boxing History

发表评论

2020 USA National Boxing Championships海. 25-四月. 4, in Shreveport, 路易斯安那州

科罗拉多斯普林斯, 膝部. (三月 1, 2021) — Texas twins 乔希 (L) 和 约旦 (ř) 詹金斯 are on a mission to become the first twins ever to be on a Team USA Olympic Boxing Team.


They will both be competing in the elite division at the 2020 美国拳击全国锦标赛, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – 四月 3, in Shreveport, 路易斯安那州.


The Jenkins twins have overcome numerous obstacles in Dallas, primarily their father’s long incarceration, subsequently getting into trouble and constantly fighting others in school. And that doesn’t even include COVID-19 restrictions that limited gym time and eliminated tournament competition this past year.


They were fortunate to have their grandfather, 已故 Guilford Childress, who was the most significant male influence in their lives. “We played all sports but were getting into trouble fighting in school,” older brother by 1 minute Josh said. “Our grandfather took us to the gym, but our mother didn’t want us to box. He and my godfather, Darryl Thomas, who was also a father figure for us, trained us. Our grandfather used to come to school when we got in trouble. He was our disciplinarian. He’d take us right out of training at the gym or stop us from sparring for two weeks. He didn’t just want us to be champion boxers, he wanted us to become mature men.


“Two years ago, Greg Hatley became our trainer. Everything changed for us when we started being trained by Coach Hatley. Our styles completely changed, and we started settling down in the ring, and picking spots. Coach Hatley has had a big impact on our lives. He’s taught us how to be men. He’s a roofer and he taught us how to roof, change oil and tires, and save our money for later.”


The twins work for Amazon in a warehouse. Jordan is a brawling lightweight, while welterweight Josh is more of a boxer. Have they ever switched places and fought under the other’s name? “Everybody asks us that,” laughed Jordan. “别, Josh is bigger than me.”


They’ve been competing in the elite division for the past couple of years, and both have reached the semifinals of major tournaments, but they’re ready to break out at the upcoming National Championships.


The Jenkins twins have had their training impacted. like most other amateur boxers, but not terribly, yet different from what they were used to. At first there were limitations at their gym, but once restrictions opened-up, they were able to train more often, spread out more than normal at the gym while working out, and COVID-19 tested monthly.


The dream for “Twin Nation”, coined by their grandfather when Josh and Jordan were in the seventh grade, is becoming the first twins on a Team USA Boxing Olympic Team, something late grandfather first mentioned to them. “We want to be the first twins on the US Olympic Boxing Team so kids can look up to us,” Jordan noted. “We want to prove that kids labeled as bad can still be successful growing up in an environment like ours. A lot of friends we grew up with are dead or in jail. We’ve worked had to change our lives and we’re looking ahead to Paris (site of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games).”


Their remarkable journey reaches a new level at the Nationals. They aren’t in a rush to go pro, 或. 哦, they both intend to be professional boxers, but only when they’re ready as a tandem.


“We’re humble,” Josh concluded. “We’ve had a lot of bumps and bruises. We could have gone left or right. A lot of our friends went one way, but we went the other way, 和
became boxers.”

LAS VEGAS, 内华达 – 传统格斗联盟 (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced the promotion will kick off 2018 有 1-2-3 punch in January with a trio of star-studded shows in California, 亚利桑那, and Louisiana.

LFA的重头戏 30 will feature the long-awaited clash between southern California kingpins and top LFA welterweights “Curtious” Curtis Millender and Nick “凤凰” 巴恩斯. LFA 30 – Millender VS. Barnes takes place 星期五, 1月12日 at Costa Mesa Hall at OC Fair Grounds in Costa Mesa, 加利福尼亚州.
The following week, LFA heads to Arizona with a fierce interim featherweight title fight in the Valley of the Sun. 在主要事件, former RFA title challenger and BJJ black belt Bobby “狼人” Moffett battles knockout sensation Thanh Le for the LFA interim featherweight title. LFA 31 – Moffett vs. Le takes place 星期五, January 19th 在凤凰城的联信剧院, 亚利桑那.
LFA caps the month of January with a pair of title fights in southern Louisiana. 在主要事件, former LFA title challenger Brendan “All In” Allen faces top undefeated prospect Anthony “Fluffy” Hernandez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. 在共顶篷, red-hot Ryan “超人” 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 星期五, January 26th 在掘金酒店在 & 赌场在查尔斯湖, 路易斯安那州.
The entire main card of all three of these events will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT.
“I’m excited to kick off 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, 规定苏亚雷斯. “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 1月12日. 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.”
边角料 (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. 巴恩斯, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
LFA的重头戏 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. 在纸上, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. 然而, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. 莫菲特, 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). The man known as “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
LFA联合主赛事 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. “超人” 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 和 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 分钟和 28 秒.
九月 2016, Legacy FC 和 RFA 官员宣布，他们将合并成立综合武术领域首屈一指的发展组织 (MMA) 一月开始 2017. Legacy FC 和 RFA 已经开启了超过 150 已经通过在UFC的竞争达到了MMA的巅峰运动员.

HOUSTON, 得克萨斯州 – 传统格斗联盟 (LFA) 首席执行官埃德·苏亚雷斯 (Ed Soares) 今天宣布，促销活动将于 9 月第三周重返路易斯安那州，并举行冠军双赛.
LFA的重头戏 23 LFA次中量级冠军德里克将首次卫冕 “D摇滚” 克兰茨. 这位德克萨斯强队将对阵不败的超级新星詹姆斯·中岛，捍卫自己的世界冠军头衔. LFA联合主赛事 23 LFA 女子蝇量级冠军安德里亚将首次卫冕 “克格勃” 背风处. 这位魅力十足的女牛仔将对阵第 82 空降军老兵杰米，捍卫自己的冠军头衔 “漂亮刺客” 索顿. LFA 23 发生 星期五, 9月22日在马蹄赌场 & 酒店（伯锡尔城）, 路易斯安那州. 整个主卡将被电视直播，并在全国范围AXS电视上的 9 P.M. AND / 6 P.M. PT.
“德里克·克兰茨 (Derrick Krantz) 和安德里亚·李 (Andrea Lee) 将在波西尔城卫冕 LFA 世界冠军9月22日,” 规定苏亚雷斯. “克兰茨是一位无情的终结者，可以一拳结束一场战斗. 他将面对这项运动中次中量级的顶尖新星詹姆斯·中岛. 李是LFA历史上第一位女性冠军，她将在与久经沙场的美国队的比赛中捍卫自己的冠军头衔. 退伍军人杰米·索顿. LFA 23 将是路易斯安那州 MMA 的又一个精彩之夜，届时将有两场精彩的世界冠军争夺战。”
门票数量仍然有限, 并可致电预约318-453-3730
LFA的重头戏 23 将呈现今年最有趣、最高风险的冠军争夺战之一. LFA 次中量级冠军将在一位自豪的严肃冠军和一位不容错过的蓝筹冠军挑战者之间展开角逐.

克兰茨 (20-9) 五月，他以一场精彩的比赛夺得了首届 LFA 次中量级冠军，这让 MMA 纯粹主义者欣喜若狂，而他的对手本·诺伊曼 (Ben Neumann) 则完全茫然. 这位德克萨斯劲旅在冠军争夺战第二轮一开始就释放了他的充满力量的拳头，为明尼苏达队赢得了第二个世界冠军. 两年前, 克兰茨在同一州完成了几乎相同的壮举，对阵 UFC 老将布洛克·拉尔森，赢得了 Legacy FC 次中量级冠军. 现在克兰兹再次将黄金牢牢地缠在腰间, 他计划在 LFA 首次卫冕冠军时为这条带子增添一些光彩 23. 这位LFA主力现在将目光投向了今年MMA最关键的冠军争夺战之一的蓝筹超级新星.
中岛 (7-0) 是一个特殊的人才. 他的摔跤血统, 无畏的打击能力, 并且愿意全身心投入武术的各个方面，这使他成为综合格斗专家们热切等待的次中量级新星。. 一些专家认为, 自乔治·圣皮埃尔和本·阿斯克伦以来，该部门中没有人通过主宰中岛所面临的竞争水平来开始自己的职业生涯. 虽然这位伊利诺伊州本地人、内布拉斯加州大学摔跤界的佼佼者在获得 MMA 荣誉方面还有很长的路要走。 “普惠制” 和 “时髦”, 毫无疑问，他已经席卷了他的部门. 约翰·克劳奇的得意门生不会安于现状. 他现已在虚线上签名，以在 LFA 挑战令人畏惧的 LFA 世界冠军德里克·克兰茨 (Derrick Krantz) 23.
背风处 (7-2) 是世界上最有才华的女拳手之一，也是格斗迷中最受欢迎的人选，一旦今年晚些时候新宣布的 UFC 女子蝇量级部门成立，她将成为该部门的代言人. “克格勃” 拥有动态技能, 不可否认的南方魅力, 以及标志性的女牛仔服装，使她成为这项运动中最知名和最受喜爱的战士之一. 这位 28 岁的冠军现在已准备好在她的第二故乡路易斯安那州北部捍卫自己的冠军头衔. 李是一个脚上的致命射手，也是一个地面上屈服的机会主义者. 在退出一长串潜在挑战者名单后，她现在希望在自己的简历中添加成功的卫冕冠军, 被拒绝旅行签证, 受伤了, 或者决定不面对凶猛的冠军.
“我已经准备好捍卫我的 LFA 世界冠军并为球迷上演一场表演,” 李惊呼道. “这将是我今年的第四场比赛. 我将向大家展示为什么我是世界上最好的蝇量级选手 9月22日!”
索顿 (4-3) 是少数能够挑战冠军安德里亚·李 (Andrea Lee) 的女性之一. 这位33岁的第82空降军老兵在战斗中见识过这一切. 根据 Special-Ops.org, 第82空降师是美国的精锐空降步兵师. 军队, 专门从事对被拒绝地区的伞兵突击行动. 当她准备进入敌对地区并在 LFA 推翻李时，这些专业知识将派上用场 23. 索顿职业生涯的一切都表明她是一位孤注一掷的斗士. “漂亮刺客” 赢得了前五场比赛中的四场, 包括在一分钟内连续完成三场比赛. 索顿追求破局风格的最明显标志是，她在七场职业比赛中从未见过一场比赛在第一轮就出局。.
