CLARESSA SHIELDS INDUCTED INTO USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME

Deixe um comentário
Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing is family!”
EUA Boxe Alumni Association, Classe de 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dezembro 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 membros Roy Jones Jr. e, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewarte Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

A segunda recepção anual do Hall of Fame da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA, realizada em conjunto com o 2018 EUA Campeonatos Nacionais de Elite e Juventude de Boxe e Juniores e Preparação, Dezembro 2-8, será realizada em dezembro 7, no hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) em 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 ou 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) campeão dos médios do mundo.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 KOs) registro, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 e 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, quando Savannah Marshall (Inglaterra) 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; reunião Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, treinador Al Mitchell, e treinador 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 — me, 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,” dito Chris tofflemire, EUA Boxe Alumni Association Diretor Executivo. “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 anos, 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.”

 

 

 

Shields, infelizmente, 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, Califórnia, contra Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Infelizmente,” 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 Cassetete (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, também, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 sou., 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.

O treinador de boxe GOAT….. Emanuel Steward

Deixe um comentário
EUA Boxe Alumni Association, Classe de 2018 Inductee
(L-R) – O grande Tommy Hearns & o falecido Manny Steward

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Novembro 19, 2018) – O atrasado Emanuel Steward, indiscutivelmente o maior treinador de boxe de todos os tempos, é um membro da classe de 2018 sendo introduzido no Hall da Fama da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA.

 

 

 

A segunda recepção anual do Hall of Fame da Associação de Antigos Alunos de Boxe dos EUA, realizada em conjunto com o 2018 EUA Campeonatos Nacionais de Elite e Juventude de Boxe e Juniores e Preparação, Dezembro 2-8, será realizada em dezembro 7, no hotel Radisson (215 S. Temple St.) em Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

 

Steward era um boxeador, treinador extraordinário, e comentarista da HBO até sua morte prematura em 2012 com a idade de 68. Sua carreira no boxe culminou com sua entrada no Hall da Fama do Boxe Internacional em 1996.

 

 

 

Com a idade de 12, Manny se mudou com sua mãe da Virgínia Ocidental para Detroit, onde sua vida logo se transformou em boxe. Como um pugilista amador, ele compilou um 94-3 registro, com destaque para um desempenho da medalha de ouro no 1963 Torneio Nacional de Luvas de Ouro como peso galo, mas ele decidiu não tentar a equipe olímpica de boxe dos EUA.

 

 

 

Em 1971, Steward tornou-se treinador de meio período no Kronk Gym, onde ele eventualmente guiou muitos dos melhores boxeadores amadores do país. O Kronk Gym mais tarde se tornou propriedade do Steward's e ele o transformou em uma das academias de boxe mais famosas e bem-sucedidas do mundo.

 

 

 

 

 

Steward também atuou como diretor nacional de treinamento para o boxe nos EUA no início dos anos 2000.

 

 

 

Ao longo de sua incrível carreira, Administrador supostamente treinado 41 campeões do mundo, talvez, os mais notáveis ​​foram Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis e Wladimir Klitschko. Ele também treinou Julio Cesar Chavez, Miguel Cotto, Oscar de la Hoya, Naseem Hamed, Evander Holyfield, e Mike McCallum. Manny também treinou um jovem rapper de Detroit, Eminem, como caixa no ginásio Kronk.

 

 

 

O último campeão mundial treinado por Manny foi Adônis “Super-homem” Stevenson, que continua sendo o atual Conselho Mundial de Boxe (WBC) Campeão mundial dos meio-pesados ​​desde 2013.

 

 

 

“Emanuel sempre dizia, nocautes vender!” Stevenson lembrou-se com carinho. “Ele também foi o primeiro a me dizer, ‘Você será uma estrela e campeão mundial. Apenas não escute pessoas com más intenções, porque você tem talento natural.’ Ele acreditava em mim, mesmo que algumas pessoas não pensassem que eu me tornaria um campeão do mundo.”

 

 

 

“Emanuel Steward impactou a vida de tantos que atravessaram as portas do Kronk Gym,” dito Chris tofflemire, EUA Boxe Alumni Association Diretor Executivo. “Embora ele seja mais reconhecido por sua conquista no nível profissional, seu impacto foi significativo nos amadores. Manny serve como um modelo de treinador para o boxe EUA hoje, e seu impacto será sentido por muito tempo. A Associação de Alumni de Boxe dos EUA apoia esmagadoramente sua indução e espera homenageá-lo como parte da classe Hall of Fame deste ano.”

“Por anos, ele participava do meu torneio nacional de luvas de prata que eu patrocinava e organizava na cidade de Kansa, apenas para mostrar seu apoio ao programa para jovens.,” adicionou presidente do encaixotamento dos EUA Banheiro Marrom adicionado. “Todo ano eu dizia para ele me avisar se ele estava vindo, para que eu pudesse VIP ele, e todo ano ele me ignorava e aparecia silenciosamente. Eu o notaria na multidão. Eu o expulsava e depois fizemos a mesma coisa no ano seguinte.

 

 

 

“Eu também costumava vê-lo em grandes lutas e ele sempre me fazia sentir especial dizendo que minha empresa salvou o boxe nos anos setenta e oitenta, fornecendo segurança, bem feito, equipamento de boxe com preço justo para o esporte. Ninguém mais me deu esse reconhecimento. Ele era humilde e não um malandro, meu tipo de cara.”

 

 

 

Emanuel Steward deixou sua marca na terra, não apenas como uma personalidade multifacetada no boxe, mas ele também é lembrado por seu magnânimo trabalho de caridade em Detroit, em que ele ajudou jovens na busca pela educação.

 

 

 

Em resumo, embora, ele ensinou boxe, e ninguém nunca fez isso melhor.

Houston featherweight Roma Martinez represents next wave of USA female boxers

COMUNICADO DE IMPRENSA
Para Divulgação Imediata
Out to make statement at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Outubro. 6-18 na Argentina

 

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Outubro 8, 2018) — Houston featherweight Roma Martinez, who represents the next wave of USA female boxers, is currently In Argentina to make a statement at the ongoing Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018.

 

 

The Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 continues through Oct. 18 at Parque Polidesportivo Roca in Argentina.

 

 

 

The 18-year-old Martinez started boxing six years ago, when her step-father came into her life, taking her to a local boxing gym to help keep her out of potential trouble, as well to defend herself.

 

 

 

She is an online student at the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, planning to major in business, and Roma has been able to balance her busy schedule for a simple reason. “I don’t have much of a social life,” she admitted, “so it’s easy for me to train and study.”
 

 

Argentina is the second foreign country she’s traveled to having competed last November in India. Although she has a relatively limited amateur career, Martinez has managed to capture top honors at six national events: 2016 USA Boxing Nationals, 2014 & 2015 Batte lf the Universe, 20-15 Women’s Golden Glove, 2-15 Junior Olympics Nationals, e 2014 Brown Gloves.

 

 

 

Like many of her Team USA teammates, in addition to opponents from all over the world, Roma hopes she can parlay an impressive performance in Buenos Aires to improve her chances to eventually qualify for the 2020 Olympics in Japan.

 

 

 

“The Youth Olympics is the biggest thing in my career because I hope to compete in the 2020 Jogos Olímpicos,” Martinez said. “The Youth Olympics is almost as big as the Olympics, only younger athletes compete. I take things one day at a time, but I do have goals to make the Olympics, win a gold medal, and then turn pro and win a world title.

 

 

“This is my last youth competition. This December I will move up to Elite Division. There will be a difference in age (of her opponents) and more international competition, but I need that experience to reach my goals.”

 

 

 

Roma, she says, is a technical boxer who occasionally brings pressure. Her favorite boxer is the great “Açúcar” Ray Leonard and she looks up to Nicola Adams (2012 & 2016 Olympic gold medalist from Great Britain) e Mikaela Mayer (2016 EUA Olympian). Roma has taken advantage of sparring sessions with Adams and Mayer, respectivamente, in Houston and Colorado Springs.

 

 

 

Martinez believes female boxing is on the upswing and she looks forward to its future. “The more top female boxers will mean bigger things for us,” Martinez added, “We’ll get more TV time and make more money.”

 

 

 

Roma credits USA Boxing for her learning how to be disciplined and she’s grateful for the outstanding coaching she’s received. Martinez plans to travel a lot in the future and when she earns her business degree, Roma is determined to use it to her advantage, owning a restaurant and, possibly, a gym so that she can remain in boxing after she hangs up her gloves way down the road.

Otha Jones III competing at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Deixe um comentário
Straight outta Toledo….
Outubro. 6-18 na Argentina

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Outubro 4, 2018) – Two-time USA National Champion Otha Jones III is heading to Argentina tomorrow to make a statement at the Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires, Outubro 6-18 in Parque Polidesportivo Roca.

 

 

 

Jones is from the new home of amateur boxing champions, Toledo, Ohio, where the 18-year-old Jones is also making a difference in his community, especially after his brother was shot and killed a few weeks ago while he was riding a bike.

 

 

 

Otha first got interested in boxing after watching a YouTube boxing sensation. “I thought that was cool,” light welterweight Jones explained, “so I asked my father to take me to a gym. I soon learned that I was good at it, worked hard, and now I’m heading to the Youth Olympics.

 

 

 

“Fighters at all the gyms in Toledo help each other out. (2017 Campeão dos EUA nos pesos pesados) Jared Anderson is my best friend. The first year we trained at the same gym, but I never sparred with him (rindo), because he’s too big for me. We’re at different gyms now. Six Toledo boxers, five of my teammates, are in the USA Boxing program, including my sister, (welterweight) Oshae Jones, who is on the women’s Elite team competing right now in Spain. We all push each other to the limit.”

 

 

 

In addition to capturing gold at the last two USA National Championships, he also won top honors at the 2018 Youth Continental Championships, plus a silver medal at the 2018 Emil Jechev Memorial Tournament.

 

 

 

Self-described as an unorthodox boxer-puncher, Jones says he, “Throws punches from all angles. I can box well or sit and fight if I have to.”

 

 

 

Jones, quem tem um 267-11 registro amador, has already traveled and competed in Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia. He’s looking forward to experiencing Argentina, where he will live and train for two weeks in an Olympic village atmosphere.

 

 

 

“Making it this far to the Youth Olympic, so far, is the highlight of my career,” ele disse. “I love traveling to different countries to experience and learn about new cultures. My goal is to fight at the 2020 Olympics in Japan and win a gold medal. I need to improve my skills; punch harder and place my punches better.

 

 

 

“After the Olympics, I plan to turn pro. I want to move my family out of the ghetto and get better clothes and meals for everyone.

 

 

 

“I own the Soul City Gym with my brother and dad. A lot of kids in Toledo have nothing to do. We go on social media to tell these kids to come by the gym to get in shape. We are part of a program that feeds these kids. We feel that, the less time on the street, we can help stop the violence, like my brother being killed. We’re trying to get kids off the streets and in the gym.”

Jones also noted that he really enjoys training in Colorado Springs, not only because of the outstanding facilities and coaching, but for his peace of mind.

 

 

 

“I thought I was in top shape training in Toledo,” Jones added, “but you come here, and the air is different. After training at sea level, you get tired training here. Eu amo isso aqui. There are so many nice buildings and facilities, it’s like a small city, only without crime. I can be myself here.”

 

 

 

Otha Jones, III is making an impact in and out of the ring, whether he’s at home in Toledo, training in Colorado Springs, or competing around the world.

Los Angeles flyweight Heaven Garcia Fighting for another gold medal at Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018

Heaven can’t wait….
Outubro. 6-18 na Argentina
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Outubro 2, 2018) — Los Angeles flyweight Heaven Garcia is on a mission to become only the third American boxer, second female, to capture gold medals at the Youth World Championships and upcoming Youth Olympics during the same year, juntando Shakur Stevenson e Jajairia Gonzales, who both accomplished this rare feat in 2014.
 

 

The Summer Youth Olympic Games Buenos Aires 2018 will be held Oct. 6-18 at Parque Polidesportivo Roca in Argentina.

 

 

Garcia explained that her unusual first name is the result of her father being told he could never have children and upon her birth, he felt it was a miracle, aptly naming her, Céu.

 

 

 

 

Heaven started boxing when she was eight. “After a week,” Garcia said, “I fell in love with boxing. I never played any other sports.

 

 

 

“My short-range goal in boxing is to win my second gold medal at the Youth Olympics. Long-range is to qualify and win a gold medal at the 2020 Jogos Olímpicos, and then turn pro and become world champion.”

 

 

 

The 18-year-old Garcia, que era um 2015 Junior World Champion, avenged her quarterfinal loss to Kazakhstan’s Zhansaya Abdraimova at last year’s Youth World Championships, winning the rematch with a 3-2 decision in the semifinals of the 2018 Youth World Championships final. Garcia picked up her second World title with her 4-1 split decision victory over India’s Anamika

 

 

 

Garcia doesn’t consider herself a pure boxer or devastating puncher, at least at this stage of her relatively young boxing career. “I’m a fighter who goes forward,” she noted. “I pressure my opponent, go to the body a lot, and hit her when the right spot is there.”

 

 

 

Garcia will be ending her youth career at this month’s Youth Olympics, after which she will move up to become an Elite boxer. “I feel I’m ready for the Elites,” Heaven remarked. “Every step I take is to progress.

 

 

 

“I’ve had a good year,” she admitted. (she also won a gold medal at this year’s Youth Continental Championships) “I’ve also traveled to Taiwan, Hungary and now Argentina.”

 

 

 

Heaven can’t wait to capture her third gold medal at a 2018 International tournament.
