โคโลราโดสปริงส์, ตัก. (มีนาคม 15, 2021) – There is no more of a family affair in USA Boxing thanKayla Gomez’S, in which her mother, Crystal Aceves, and grandmother, Cindy Aceves, work her corner.
They will be together once again at the 2020 สหรัฐอเมริกามวยชิงแชมป์แห่งชาติ, postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic from last December to March 25 – เมษายน 3, in Shreveport, La.
The 18-year-old Gomez, who lives in El Paso (เท็กซัส), is a youth flyweight (112 ปอนด์) นักมวย, who finished second at the 2019 ชิงแชมป์แห่งชาติ, highlighting her first year in Youth competition. She has a growing supply of gold medals having finished on top at the 2019 & 2018 เปิดภูมิภาคตะวันตก, 2018 & 2017 Junior Open Championships, และ 2018 & 2017 ภูมิภาคตะวันออกเปิด. She is also a 5-time National Junior Olympic champion (2015 ตลอด 2019).
A self-described multi-dimensional boxer, Kayla is a counter puncher and consummate boxer, displaying veteran-like “ringmanship,” but also capable of being a technical brawler and pressure fighter. She first started boxing in 2012 after watching a documentary on the 2012 Olympics.
“The inspiration of the boxers training to earn a gold medal motivated me to learn this unique sport,” Gomez explained. “I dedicate my whole life to boxing and as of right now, amateur boxing has impacted my life in a positive manner, paving my way in the near future to earn different accolades and experience for an Olympic gold medal and my pro career.”
Her mother, Crystal, is an amateur boxer who has competed in many tournaments. She will not compete in these championships this year because she is fully focused right now on her daughter and her future. She will be competing at other 2021 tournaments.
“As a boxer, my mom knows what it’s like to be in my position, so instead of getting mad at me, she gives me alternatives to do when I’m feeling low or not myself to have a better chance of being the best fighter I can be,” Kayla explained what it’s like having her mother and grandmother working her corner. “We all have a great relationship and work well in the ring together. They understand what it’s like to be in my position.”
A high school senior, Kayla is in a K-12 program for an online school due to her busy schedule. She does plan to attend college and share her boxing with educational opportunities.
“My education is just as important as my boxing,” She concluded. “I will attend college and work really hard to accomplish my goal of earning a gold medal at the 2024 Olympics and beginning my pro career afterwards.”
Kayla Gomez is a legacy boxer with a promising future.

โคโลราโดสปริงส์, โคโลราโด (ธันวาคม 21, 2017) – Christmas came early forJared Anderson, who not only won the heavyweight title at the recent USA Boxing National Championships, the 18-year-old also captured the Most Outstanding Boxer Award in the Elite Division.
Seeded No. 7 in an eight-boxer field at The Nationals, แอนเดอร์สัน, ตามลำดับ, defeated No. 2 Jesus Flores ในการแข่งขันรอบแรก, 5-0, edged No. 3 Adrian Tillman ในรอบรองชนะเลิศ, 3-2, and upset five-time national championCam F. น่ากลัว, 5-0, ในการแข่งขันชิงแชมป์สุดท้าย.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (พฤศจิกายน. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 และ 2, ตามลำดับ, Flores is No. 5, and Anderson is unranked.
“I think that’s going to change,” Anderson noted. “Winning the heavyweight title and Most Outstanding Boxing Award meant the world to me. Maybe some people had never heard of me, but I’ve been boxing since I was eight, and I’ve faced a lot of different styles.
“I had a vendetta going with Tillman and, instead of boxing, I tried to take his head off. Simple work allowed me to beat Awesome. He is a good fighter. Cam does what he wants in the ring — throws jabs, sits there and builds up points – and intimidates some opponents. I took the fight to him. Not wild, แม้, because he’d have been there in the ring, calm and smiling, and I would have lost. I used my jab more than anything against him.”
One of 11 siblings in two households, Anderson is another USA Boxing success story. Growing up in Toledo, โอไฮโอ, Anderson was constantly getting into trouble in school and boxing eventually saved him. His mother convinced her son to meet a local boxing coach, who introduced Jared to boxing, drilling discipline into him, something Jared desperately needed at that point in his young life.
Boxing in Toledo has also aided his overall development in boxing. “We push each other,” Anderson อธิบาย. “We support each other and perfect our crafts. There’s a lot of support here at all the gyms in Toledo.”
Anderson represented Team USA at this past August’s 2017 Bradenburg Cup in Frankfurt, ประเทศเยอรมัน, at which Anderson won the heavyweight title, as well as the Most Outstanding Boxer Award, which should have been a warning for other leading U.S. วืด.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, สหรัฐฯ. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. ชูการ์เรย์เลนเนิร์ด – “มือได้อย่างรวดเร็ว, ความเร็ว, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. Evander Holyfield – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.มูฮัมหมัดอาลี — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.”
ตอนนี้, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 ปอนด์, but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. ในที่สุด, he wants to be heavyweight champion of the world, but Jared does have a plan.
“I want to stay as active as possible next year, competing in tournaments, and turn pro but not until after the (2020) การแข่งขันกีฬาโอลิมปิก,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) การแข่งขันกีฬาโอลิมปิก. I want to win a gold medal, turn pro and win the world heavyweight title, so I can move my mother out of the ‘hood.”
Remember the name, boxing fans, Jared Anderson has the potential to be America’s next great heavyweight.
