מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (פבואר 20, 2020) - מהרחובות המרושעים של מזרח לוס אנג'לס ועד לדרגש בצוות ארה"ב הוא הישג יוצא דופן עבור משקל זבוב בן 19אנתוני הררה, אשר לאחרונה נבחר להיות חבר ב 2020 המשחקים האולימפיים של טוקיו.

“מאז שהייתי צעיר מאוד,"הררה דיבר על התבגרות במזרח לוס אנג'לס, "ההורים שלי תמיד החזיקו אותי בספורט. להיות כל כך עסוק בספורט היה למעשה הסחת דעת ממה שקורה ברחבי העיר. כך, אף פעם לא הספקתי להסתבך וההורים שלי הרחיקו אותי מאורח חיים רע. פעם התחלתי לאגרוף, לקחתי את זה ברצינות, להישאר ממוקד ולהציב יעדים. הייתי קצת יותר מבוגר באותה תקופה והאם אני רוצה להשתתף באגרוף או לא רוצה לעשות מזה קריירה זה הכל תלוי בי, ותמיד הייתה לי תמיכה מלאה של ההורים שלי. איגרוף היה חלק גדול מהחיים שלי. אני תמיד מצפה לאימון הבא או לכל דבר שקשור לאיגרוף. זה חלק מהתדמית שלי בשלב הזה".

לעת עתה, למרות ש, הררה מתכונן עם חבריו לנבחרת באולימפיאדת ארצות הברית ובמרכז האימונים הפראלימפי בקולורדו ספרינגס לטורניר המוקדמות של אמריקה, 26 במרץ-אפריל 3, בבואנוס איירס, ארגנטינה.

הררה יעפיל לייצג את ארצו באולימפיאדה על ידי סיום בין חמש הראשונות בבואנוס איירס, או ששת המקומות הראשונים במוקדמות העולם, מאי 13-14, בפריז, צָרְפַת.

"אני פורחת תחת לחץ,"אמר הררה. "אני לא נותן ללחץ להגיע אליי נפשית עד כדי כך שהוא משפיע לרעה על הביצועים שלי. זה גורם לי להופיע טוב יותר כשאני בזירה. הייתי בלחץ כל קריירת האגרוף שלי. לא רק שזה הפך אותי ללוחם טוב יותר במצבים מסוימים שמאיימים, אבל גם אדם חזק יותר בסך הכל. נסיעה לארגנטינה אינה שונה, העצבים עדיין שם, אבל גם הנחישות שלי להגיע לטוקיו".

A 2018 PAL הלאומי ו 2019 אלוף מוקדמות המערב עלית, הררה סיים לאחרונה במקום השני 2020 מתגורר בארה"ב. ניסויי נבחרת אולימפיים ושלישי ב 2020 טורניר Strandja בבולגריה.

"הישג האגרוף החובב שאני הכי גאה בו הוא הפיכת נבחרת המוקדמות של ארצות הברית כמשקולת זבוב," הוא ציין. "היה קשה להגיע לכאן והידיעה שהתגברתי על המכשולים שעמדתי בפניי במסע הארוך הזה למקום בו אני נמצא עכשיו משמחת אותי מאוד. אני באמת יכול לומר שהרווחתי את זה.

"משחק האגרוף הבינלאומי הראשון שלי (Strandja) היה קצת שונה ממה שאני רגיל אליו. הציוד שהשתמשנו בו והלחימה ללא כיסויי ראש יצרו יותר סיכון בעת ​​לחימה, אבל היה לי כיף בקרב הבינלאומי הראשון שלי. כבר יש לי את התחושה של הסביבה הזו ועכשיו נוח לי יותר.

"אני מאוד נהנה להתאמן בקולורדו ספרינגס עם חבריי לקבוצה, כי זו חוויה נהדרת שרק הספורטאים הטובים ביותר מקבלים. אני אוהב להתאמן גם בבית, אבל יש פחות הסחות דעת בקולורדו ספרינגס. אני יכול להתמקד ב-100 אחוז במלאכה שלי ולטייל יותר".

הררה, שמתאר את הסגנון שלו כ"נחיל", מפעיל לחץ ומפרק את יריבו, חי את החלום.

"הלחימה באולימפיאדה תמיד הייתה גדולה עבורי, אבל לקבל מדליית זהב זה החלום שלי," הוא הוסיף. "תמיד רציתי את זה כי אף אחד לא יכול לקחת את זה ממני, והסיפור והעבודה ששמים מאחורי מדליית זהב הם לא יסולא בפז. לדעתי זה יותר קשה מאשר לזכות בתואר עולמי באגרוף מקצועי. להיות כל כך קרוב לאולימפיאדה, אני גאה בעצמי אבל לא מרוצה. אני יודע שיש לי עוד עבודה לעשות ואני עושה צעד אחד בכל פעם. השלב הבא מבחינתי הוא להעפיל לאולימפיאדה במוקדמות האולימפית”.

הררה מייחס חלק מהצלחתו ללמידה ממתאגרפים לשעבר ועכשוויים, ליישם כל טכניקה שהם משתמשים בסגנונו, לְהָבִיא, לדוגמה, עבודת הרגליים ותנועת הראש שלחוליו סזאר צ'אבס SR., ומייק טייסוןההגדרות של הגוף לראש.

מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (ספטמבר 3, 2019) – No. 2 rated American heavyweight Adrian Tillman, who is also ranked No. 5 as a light heavyweight, is not only representing his country as a member of USA Boxing’s 2019 Men’s Elite team, he’s also serving in the U.S. Army at the same time.

Tillman, 24, is able to do both, because he’s an active soldier enrolled in the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), יש בהם ספורטאים מוכשרים הזדמנות לאמן במשרה מלאה לקראת האולימפיאדה.

“As of right now,” Tillman said, “my focus is on the Olympics. I love the military and I love boxing. So, I’ll just see where life takes me. But, as of now, 2020 טוקיו, יפן, is the one thing on my mind.

“Training (in Colorado Springs) with the Elite team has definitely elevated my game all around. The coaches and trainers are always teaching me. It’s a non-stop learning environment with the team.”

Born in Riverside, קליפורניה, Tillman started boxing in 2008, because he wanted to lose weight and learn how to defend himself and his siblings as he was about to enter high school.

The heavyweight with a stiff jab is a three-time National PAL champion (2018, 2017 ו 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, עם זאת, may be a little surprising, because it isn’t about winning medals, trophies and belts.

“My greatest accomplishment was being able to qualifying two weight classes (lightweight and heavyweight) for the Olympic Trials.”

Tillman has traveled throughout South America and Europe. He is with his Team USA teammates training in England before going straight to Yekaterinburg, רוסיה, to compete in the 2019 אליפות עולם עלית לגברים, ספטמבר 7-21.

“Gaining a medal at the World Championships is important to me because," הוא ציין, “not only am I representing my country, I’m also representing the Army and my family.”

When he’s in the ring, Tillman adjusts to his opponent, brawling or boxing equally, whatever it takes to win.

Adrian Tillman is a true patriot who also happens to wear boxing gloves. Whether he qualifies as a heavyweight or light heavyweight, all that matters to him is boxing for Team USA at the 2020 אולימפיאדה.

מעיינות קולורדו, Lap. (נִשׂגָב 22, 2019) – There’s a new rising force on the international boxing scene and his name is Atif Oberlton, a light heavyweight from Philadelphia, who is on a mission to make a name for himself in boxing.

Oberlton will be competing at the Elite Men’s World Championships, ספטמבר 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, רוסיה.

Lacking confidence is not an issue for the 21-year-old boxer who claims, “It’s very important for me to do well and win at the Worlds, because I know for a fact that, in my heart, I’m the best fighter in the world. Also, I’m new on the international scene, so it’s time for me to give a piece of what they’ve been missing.”

Oberlton started boxing at the age of nine, although he didn’t start competing until he was 14, because he was the only boy in his family, and his father wanted him to learn how to defend himself. Like so many of his teammates, he fell in love with boxing.

In the last five years, Oberlton has captured gold medals at the 2018 ו 2016 כפפות זהב הלאומיות טורניר, 2018 מוקדמות עלית מזרחית ו 2014 National Junior Olympics. He also was a victor in the USA vs. Netherlands Dual.

“My greatest accomplishment so far is making Team USA and being where I’m at, because for years and years I was denied, and here I am today in the top spot where I belong. I’m a top-spot fighter, so I deserve it, and I put down top-notch work, מדי"

Overlton has taken advantage of training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. מרכז הדרכה אולימפי, where he has shown improvement from day one, honing his skills to become a complete boxer.

“Conditioning plays a big part in my improvement; also seeing different styles, and getting top work has elevated me,” he spoke about training as a Team USA member. “I always break new barriers on the road to greatness and this (The Worlds) is another one I’m looking to smash through.”

In addition to representing his country, Oberlton is a proud Philly fighter continuing the long, rich boxing tradition in the City of Brotherly Love, which has produced the likes ofברנרד הופקינס, מתיו סעד מוחמד, Bennie בריסקו, ג'ואי Giardello, מייק רוסמן,James Shuler, יוג'ין הארט and so many more great fighters over the years.

“My city is known for its great boxing history and I wear ‘The City of Philadelphia’ on my back,” Oberlton added. “In a few more years down the line, I see myself leading the next wave of Philly boxers. In fact, I feel like I am the wave, עכשיו, as we speak. Everyone’s watching me. I will do them all proud, from both the old and young generations.

“I haven’t been to Russia and I’m looking forward to going there. It’s always good to see the world. I always like to go back where I’m from and try to convince others to see the world, because it’s much bigger than our neighborhood.”

Oberlton is like a chameleon in the ring, constantly changing and adjusting to his opponent. “I consider my style like water,” he concluded. “It’s wavy because I adjust to win, and I can beat any style. I can outsmart anybody, fighting mind over matter. Boxing is 80-percent mental, 20-percent physical, and I have it all.

“My short-term goal is to win gold at The Worlds and everything else leading to the Olympics. And winning no less than gold at the Olympics. My long-term goal is to be the greatest fighter to ever walk the universe.”

Confidence is definitely not a problem for Atif Oberlton.
