Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Luty 20, 2020) – Od wrednych ulic East Los Angeles do miejsca w zespole USA to niezwykłe osiągnięcie dla 19-latka w wadze muszejAnthony Herrera, który niedawno został wybrany na członka 2020 Drużyna Kwalifikacyjna Igrzysk Olimpijskich w Tokio.

„Odkąd byłem bardzo młody,” Herrera mówił o dorastaniu we wschodnim LA, „moi rodzice zawsze trzymali mnie w sporcie. Zajęcie się sportem było właściwie odwróceniem uwagi od tego, co działo się w mieście. Więc, Nigdy nie miałem czasu na kłopoty, a moi rodzice trzymali mnie z dala od złego stylu życia. Kiedy zacząłem boksować, Traktowałem to poważnie, koncentracja i wyznaczanie celów. Byłem wtedy trochę starszy i to, czy chcę uprawiać boks, czy też robić na tym karierę, zależało ode mnie., i zawsze miałem pełne wsparcie rodziców. Boks był dużą częścią mojego życia. Zawsze nie mogę się doczekać następnego treningu lub czegokolwiek związanego z boksem. W tym momencie jest to część mojego wizerunku”.

Na razie, chociaż, Herrera przygotowuje się ze swoimi kolegami z drużyny w United States Olympics and Paralympic Training Center w Colorado Springs do Amerykańskiego Turnieju Kwalifikacyjnego, 26 marca-kwiecień 3, w Buenos Aires, Argentyna.

Herrera zakwalifikuje się do reprezentowania swojego kraju na igrzyskach olimpijskich, zajmując miejsce w pierwszej piątce w Buenos Aires, czyli pierwszych sześciu graczy w World Qualifier, Maj 13-14, w Paryżu, Francja.

„Rozwijam się pod presją,– powiedział Herrera. „Nie pozwalam, aby presja dotknęła mnie psychicznie tak bardzo, że negatywnie wpłynęła na moje wyniki. Dzięki temu osiągam lepsze wyniki, gdy jestem na ringu. Całą karierę bokserską byłem pod presją. Nie tylko uczyniło mnie lepszym wojownikiem w pewnych sytuacjach, które są onieśmielające, ale także ogólnie silniejsza osoba. Wyjazd do Argentyny nie jest inny, nerwy wciąż tam są, ale tak samo jest z moją determinacją, by dostać się do Tokio.

A 2018 Krajowy PAL i 2019 Mistrz kwalifikacji Western Elite, Herrera niedawno zajął drugie miejsce na 2020 Patenty USA. Próby Drużyn Olimpijskich i trzecie na 2020 Turniej Strandża w Bułgarii.

„Największym osiągnięciem w boksie amatorskim, z którego jestem najbardziej dumny, jest uzyskanie statusu wagi muszej w United States Qualification Team," zauważył. „Trudno było tu dotrzeć, a świadomość, że pokonałem przeszkody, które napotkałem podczas tej długiej podróży do miejsca, w którym teraz jestem, sprawia, że ​​jestem bardzo szczęśliwy. Mogę szczerze powiedzieć, że na to zasłużyłem.

„Mój pierwszy międzynarodowy mecz bokserski (Strandża) trochę różniło się od tego, do czego jestem przyzwyczajony. Sprzęt, którego używaliśmy i walka bez nakrycia głowy stwarzała większe ryzyko podczas walki, ale dobrze się bawiłem w mojej pierwszej międzynarodowej walce. Już czuję to środowisko i czuję się teraz bardziej komfortowo.

„Naprawdę lubię trenować w Colorado Springs z moimi kolegami z drużyny, bo to wspaniałe doświadczenie, które otrzymują tylko najlepsi sportowcy. Uwielbiam też trenować w domu, ale w Colorado Springs jest mniej rozrywek. Mogę skupić się w 100 procentach na swoim rzemiośle i więcej podróżować”.

Herrera, który opisuje swój styl jako „roi”, wywieranie presji i rozbijanie przeciwnika, żyje snem.

„Walki na igrzyskach olimpijskich zawsze były dla mnie ważne, ale moim marzeniem jest zdobycie złotego medalu," on dodał. „Zawsze tego chciałem, ponieważ nikt nigdy nie może mi tego odebrać, a historia i praca kryjąca się za złotym medalem jest bezcenna. Moim zdaniem jest to trudniejsze niż zdobycie tytułu mistrza świata w boksie zawodowym. Będąc tak blisko Igrzysk Olimpijskich, Jestem z siebie dumna, ale nie usatysfakcjonowana. Wiem, że wciąż mam pracę do wykonania i robię krok po kroku. Następnym krokiem dla mnie jest zakwalifikowanie się do igrzysk olimpijskich w kwalifikacjach olimpijskich”.

Herrera przypisuje część swojego sukcesu uczeniu się od byłych i współczesnych bokserów, wdrożenie wszelkich technik, których używają do swojego stylu, Łącznie, na przykład, praca nóg i ruchy głowyJulio Cesar Chavez Sr., iMike Tysonukłady od ciała do głowy.

Dla Anthony'ego Herrera . Tokio jest daleko od wschodniego LA.

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Wrzesień 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), in which qualified athletes have an opportunity to train fulltime for the Olympics.

“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 Tokio, Japonia, is the one thing on my mind.

“Training (w 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, Kalifornia, 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 i 2015), in addition to capturing a gold medal at the 2017 Eastern Elite Qualifier. His greatest accomplishment, jednak, 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, Rosja, to compete in the 2019 Elite Men’s World Championships, Wrzesień 7-21.

“Gaining a medal at the World Championships is important to me because," zauważył, “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 Igrzyska Olimpijskie.

Colorado Springs, Zakładka. (Sierpień 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, Wrzesień 7-21, in Yekaterinburg, Rosja.

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 i 2016 Krajowe Złote Rękawice turnieju, 2018 Eastern Elite Qualifier i 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, też"

Overlton has taken advantage of training in Colorado Springs at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, 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 ofBernard Hopkins, Mathew Saad Muhammad, Bennie Briscoe, Joey Giardello, Mike Rossman,James Shuler, Eugene Hart 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, już, 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.
