Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Luty 10, 2020) – Coming off consecutive runner-up finishes in major tournaments, USA Boxing featherweightAndrea Medina is within one tournament of representing her country in the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

W grudniu, the 20-year-old Medina lost a split decision toLupe Gutierrez z 2020 Patenty USA. Zespół Olympic Trials do boksu, i 4-1 doIulia Tsyplakova (Ukraina) last month at the Strandja Tournament in Bulgaria. The Chula Vista, California boxer was recently named to USA Boxing’s Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Boxing Qualification Team.

“Placing second at the trials only made me more eager to get that Olympic Qualification spot,” Medina said. “I just wanted to show USA Boxing that I was the one to represent at 57 kilograms. I am only going to get better and I cannot wait to show the world everything that I got.

“For it (Strandża) being my first ever international tournament, I was very proud of how far I got in the tournament and getting that silver medal. I was very happy with all my performances and I am excited to get back to work on things I need to improve on. Aside from all that, going to a different country was awesome and I can’t wait to travel more doing what I love the most.”

Medina and her Team USA stablemates are currently training in Colorado Springs at the state-of-the-art United States Olympic and Paralympic Training Center. To qualify for participation in this year’s Olympic Games, Medina needs to finish among the top three in the 57-kilogram (125 kg.) division at the America’s Qualification Tournament, 26 marca-kwiecień 3, w Buenos Aires, Argentina. One final opportunity at the World Qualifier in Paris, Francja, in which she could qualify for the Olympics by placing among the top five.

“It means the world to me to be on the USA Boxing Olympic Qualification Team,” Medina added. “It is everything I have been working for since I started competing at eight years old and I cannot believe the Olympic Games are only in a few months. Making history in San Diego by being the first person to make the Olympic Team for boxing is a big deal for my family, my city and myself. I cannot express how excited I am to have come this far, but there is still so much to do, and I am ready.

“I feel that I work better under pressure and I truly believe that I will qualify for Tokyo, whether it be in Argentina or France, but my main goal, już, is to train hard to get that gold in Argentina.”

Medina believes her major strength inside the ring is her ability to adjust during a fight. She prefers fighting on the outside, but she can brawl if needed, because she enjoys throwing a lot of power punches.

Medina also realizes that she’s in a prime place regarding the rising popularity of female boxing, following in the USA Boxing footsteps of two-time Olympic gold medalistClaressa Shields and Olympic bronze medalistMarlen esparza, along with past USA Olympians such asQueen Underwood iMikaela Mayer.

“Female boxing is only going to get bigger,” Medina predicted. “Being a female fighter today means a lot to me, because I have been doing this for 15 lat teraz, and seeing it grow year after year only shows how strong females are and what we can accomplish. I predict that, in the future, boxing will not be seen as a man’s sport, but will be neutral for both men and women.”

Competing at the Olympics has been a life-long dream for Medina, but she also has plans for her immediate future.

“Reaching the Olympics has been my main goal throughout my boxing career,” Andrea remarked, “so now that it is so close makes me want to work even harder. Other goals of mine are to graduate from college and get my own condominium, which I will do after all this is over.

“I plan on turning pro after the Olympics, most likely at the beginning or middle of 2021, so I can finish school and give my body some rest and recovery.”

Andrea Medina is so close to being an Olympian and everything associated with that accomplishment that she can practically reach out and feel it. Just one more step, whether in Buenos Aires or Paris, and it’ll be mission accomplished for her.

USA Boks Stowarzyszenie Absolwentów, klasa 2018 Inductee

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Grudzień 3, 2018) – Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields not only is spearheading a new wave in women’s boxing, she has developed into a true role model for countless youths.

 

 

 

Shields will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame this Friday night in Salt Lake City, along with Class of 2018 Członkowie Roy Jones Jr.. i, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewarti Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Grudzień 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) w Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

“I feel honored,” Shields spoke about being inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” I am only 23 years old and to be inducted into the USA Boxing Hall of Fame is a great honor, but also a shock to me. I believe I am worthy of any honor, but I know things take time, and I always thought I would put in the Hall of Fame at the age 40 lub 50. This is a big deal to me and I feel so honored. Just to have my name mentioned alongside names of greats like Andre Ward and Roy Jones just really motivates me. I feel privileged!”

 

 

 

The pride of Flint, Michigan, Shields has already successfully parlayed her amateur success to the professional ranks, in which she is 7-0 (2), and the reigning unified (IBF, WBA & WBC) mistrz świata wagi średniej.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 KO) rekord, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 i 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, kiedy Savannah Marshall (Anglia) won on points, 14-8, at the World Championships in China.

 

 

 

“USA Boxing came into my life as a two-time Junior Olympic champion,” Claressa explained her USA Boxing relationship. “The help from USA Boxing was so important: just noticing me as a young athlete and knowing I would be a strong young woman to represent the USA in the future; spotkanie Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, trener Al Mitchell, i trener Gloria Peek teach me different styles and how to use all my attributes. USA Boxing blessed me with a lot of knowledge and life-long friendships with all my Olympic teammates and Olympic coaches. My favorite coach, Koroma, literally was with me the whole way through 2015-2016, helping me outside the ring with advice and inside the ring.”

 

 

 

Shields is one of the driving forces in women’s boxing today, carrying the torch handed off by American female boxing pioneers such as Christy Martin, Laila Ali and a few others.

 

 

 

“There is great change going on right now — mnie, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon Crews, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and a few other women are carrying the torch for women’s boxing right now,” Shields explained. “Progress has been fast, every network has had a women’s fight on television this year, especially Showtime, on which I have boxed the main event four times. Women’s boxing can go far. I believe the day will come when we can be paid millions just like men.”

 

 

 

By opening doors and breaking down obstacles, Claressa has become a true role model for youngsters all over, in and out of boxing.

 

 

 

“It feels good to be a role model for them (females), and also for so many male boxers,” Shields noted. “Boxing is in a different era and I just want to make it easier for girls coming up, so when they turn pro, boxing will be closer to equality.”

 

 

 

“Claressa has one of the greatest stories in the history of amateur boxing,” powiedział: Chris tofflemire, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “Her drive, commitment, talent, and character made her a USA Boxing and Olympic champion, leaving a legacy that will last for a very long time. She is a trailblazer for women’s boxing and has established her place as one of the most influential USA Boxing Alumni members of all time. 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 lat, 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.”

 

 

 

Tarcze, niestety, is unable to attend this Friday night’s Hall of Fame reception because she’s in deep training for her titles defense this Saturday evening on HBO, live from the StubHub Center in Carson, Kalifornia, przed Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Niestety,” Shields concluded, “I can’t be there but, if I was there, I would say: Thank you to USA Boxing for believing in me at the age of 16. It was an honor to represent America, not only once but two times in the Olympics! I thank Coach Menażka (Walsh) for making me dig deep, by having to deal with his Irish ways and jokes, also for changing the culture of USA Boxing. A special thank you to coach Kay, also, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 przed południem, how many times I knocked on his room door and ran, how many times he has had to take my phone from me because I was crying or having a family problem. He is the coach I could tell everything to, and he also blessed me with his boxing knowledge and made me always feel secure in myself when he was in the corner. USA Boxing isn’t just staff – USA Boxing is family! Even though I’ve had a few words with Matthew Johnson and other staff, I thank them for being hard on me and making sure I handled my responsibilities. Love to all USA Boxing staff, I’m truly thankful.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields is much more than world and Olympian champion, she’s a class act as well, exactly what’s so desperately needed today.

Sharahya-Taina Moreu zadebiutuje w klubie USA Boxing Women’s Elite u siebie w Albuquerque

Zostaw komentarz
2018 Western Elite Qualifier i Regional Open Championships
Morze. 6-10 w Centrum Kongresowym Albuquerque

COLORADO SPRINGS, Zakładka. (Marzec 1, 2018) – Liceum senior Sharahya-taina moreu, jeden z najlepszych bokserek młodzieżowych na świecie, wystąpi w USA Boxing w Women’s Elite Division w domu w Albuquerque, Marzec 6-10, z 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier i Regional Open Championships.

18-letni Moreu, który planuje uczęszczać do college'u w przyszłym roku, jest 2016 Czempion USA Boks, oprócz czterokrotnego Indianina i 2014 Mistrz Gene Lewisa. Była srebrną medalistką na 2015 Junior / Youth Open i 2014/2015 Mistrzostwa Olimpijskie Juniorów.

Boks, jej ojciec / trener, Joruba Moreu, późno Johnny tapia pomogła jej przezwyciężyć zmieniającą życie tragedię, jaką była śmierć matki w wypadku samochodowym, wytyczając dla niej nową ścieżkę jako wzór do naśladowania i 2020 Olimpijska nadzieja. “Miałem zaledwie osiem lat, kiedy zmarła moja matka,” Moreu przypomniał sobie. “Leżałem na niej, kiedy samochód potoczył się i została wyrzucona przez tylne okno. Byłem pierwszy z karty i na autostradzie prosząc o pomoc.

“Dzięki temu wypadkowi jestem lepszą osobą, chociaż. Najpierw, Żałowałem i byłem zły, wdawanie się w bójki i na złej ścieżce. Zacząłem boksować, opanował złość, i stał się zmotywowany. Nie zdawałam sobie sprawy, że zostanę wzorem do naśladowania, dopóki dziewczyny nie zaczną prosić mnie o radę. Patrzą na mnie, a niektórych z nich teraz trenuję.”
Moreu zaczął boksować w wieku 12 i Tapia, Pięciokrotny, trzy podział mistrz świata, dodatkowo 1983 i 1985 Złote Rękawice mistrzem Narodowy, miał ogromny wpływ na Sharahya-Tainę, która pozostanie w jej sercu i duszy na całe życie.
“Staliśmy się jak rodzina,” Powiedział Moreu. “Najpierw, nie lubił boksu dziewcząt, więc pracował na mnie naprawdę ciężko. Byłem dobrym koszykarzem i powtarzał mi, żebym grał w koszykówkę. Ale stał się wielką osobą w moim życiu, Myślę, ponieważ straciłem matkę w tak młodym wieku. Pomógł mi wejść i wyjść z ringu na wiele sposobów. Najmilszy był Johnny Tapia, najbardziej pokorny człowiek, jakiego kiedykolwiek spotkałem. Staliśmy się rodziną, dopóki siłownia się nie rozpadła. Trenował mnie tylko około ośmiu miesięcy, ale nauczył mnie, że boks definiuje cię jako osobę, i wyjść z ringu. Na ringu czuję się bezpiecznie. Jestem lepszą osobą dzięki Johnny'emu i boksowi.”

Style-mądry, Sharahya-Taina poluje na swoich przeciwników’ błędy, regulacja w ringu taka sama jak, ona mówi, “Tak jak w życiu.” O 5′ 10″, Moreu ma wyraźną przewagę wzrostu i zasięgu nad większością swoich przeciwników wagi średniej, używając tych atrybutów, jej szybkość i sztywne dźgnięcie, aby nieustannie gromadzić punkty.

Ona mocno w to wierzy, z powodu Claressa Shields‘ występy o złoty medal w 2012 i 2016 Igrzyska Olimpijskie, drzwi są szeroko otwarte dla kobiet w boksie. “Widziałem, jak Amerykanka robi to, co Clarissa i staje się dominującą siłą w boksie,” - zauważył Moreu. “(2016 Patenty USA. Olimpijczyk i trzykrotny mistrz USA w boksie)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KO jako profesjonalista) bardzo pomogło, zbyt. Podpisała kontrakt z dobrym promotorem (Najlepsza pozycja). Boks powoli staje się lepszy dla kobiet, może nie równy mężczyznom, ale dziś jest więcej dziewcząt boksujących niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej i to dobry znak.”

Walka u siebie w zachodnich kwalifikacjach ma dla Moreu szczególne znaczenie. “Myślałem, że walka w Albuquerque będzie bardzo obciążona,” przyznała, “ale nie ma na mnie dużej presji ze względu na całe wsparcie, jakie otrzymuję. Tutaj jest łatwo. Albuquerque nie przypomina dużego miasta, ale staje się miastem walki.

“Lubię podróżować i poznawać różnych ludzi. W ubiegłym roku, Reprezentowałem w Stanach Zjednoczonych w Indiach na Mistrzostwach Młodzieży, i zobaczyłem inną część świata, jak ludzie trenowali i prowadzili różne style życia. Obracam się 19 w maju, więc to mój pierwszy boks w turnieju Elite, i świetnie jest robić to w moim rodzinnym mieście.

Moreu przypisuje również swojemu ojcu duży sukces w ringu i życiu. “Był samotnym rodzicem, ale zawsze był tam, robiąc dla mnie wszystko, co mógł, jako ojciec i trener,” Zauważył Sharahya-Taina. “Większość ludzi nie wie, że jest Portorykańczykiem, moja matka jest Indianką (Pueblo).”

Jak większość młodych, elitarni sportowcy, Sharahya-Taina ma sen. “2020 na igrzyskach olimpijskich,” zakończyła. “Chcę zostać amatorem i ostatecznie zostać zawodowcem i mieć dobrą karierę.”

Selina Barrios Spooks Her Opponent, Zarina Tsoloyeva Backs Out of Fight

Zostaw komentarz


RAYNE, LA (Listopad 2, 2017) – Two days after Halloween, unbeaten female sensation, lekki Selina “Aztec Królowa” Dzielnice (2-0, 1 KO), has spooked her opponent, Zarina Tsoloyeva (Pro Debiut) from Zhaksy, Kazachstan, 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, a teraz 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, Ja nigdzie nie ide, 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, nigdzie. Tak jak powiedziałem, at some point, you will all have to fight me.”

Selina Barrios is guided by longtime boxing manager, Kerry Daigle, who believes Barrios is one of the most exciting boxers he’s seen in years.

I haven’t seen a fighter like her in a long time, Mężczyzna czy kobieta. She has that special something that you can’t explain but you know is extraordinary. She’s in a very competitive fight, against a very skilled fighter in Zarina Tsoloyeva. When I asked her if she was willing to fight such a decorated amateur fighter, she said yes, with no hesitation. That’s what I love about Selina, she’s ready to fight anyone, anywhere.”
