Sharahya-Taina Moreu to make USA Boxing Women’s Elite debut at home in Albuquerque

Skryf 'n opmerking
2018 Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships
See. 6-10 at Albuquerque Convention Center

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Maart 1, 2018) – High school senior Sharahya-Taina Moreu, one of the top youth amateur boxers in the world, will make her USA Boxing in the Women’s Elite Division at home in Albuquerque, Maart 6-10, by die 2018 USA Boxing Western Elite Qualifier and Regional Open Championships.

The 18-year-old Moreu, who plans to attend community college next year, is 'n 2016 USA Boxing National Champion, in addition to a four-time Native American and 2014 Gene Lewis champion. She was a silver medalist at the 2015 Junior/Youth Open and 2014/2015 Junior Olympic championships.

Boxing, her father/coach, Yoruba Moreu, die laat Johnny Tapia helped her overcome the life-changing tragedy of her mother’s death in an automobile accident, forging a new path for her as a role model and 2020 Olympic hopeful. “I was only eight when my mother died,” Moreu remembered. “I was laying on her when the car-rolled and she was thrown through the back window. I was the first out of the card and on the freeway asking for help.

“I’m a better person because of that accident, al. Op die eerste, I was regretful and angry, getting in fights and on a bad path. I got into boxing, took anger management, and became motivated. I didn’t realize that I’d become a role model until girls started asking me for advice. They do look up to me and some of them I now coach.”
Moreu started boxing at the age of 12 and Tapia, die vyf-time, drie afdeling wêreldkampioen, in addition to the 1983 en 1985 Nasionale Golden Gloves-kampioen, had a tremendous impact on Sharahya-Taina that will remain in her heart and soul for life.
“We became like family,” Moreu said. “Op die eerste, he didn’t like girls boxing, so he worked me real hard. I was a good basketball player and he kept telling me to go play basketball. But he became a big person in my life, Ek dink, because I had lost my mother at such a young age. He helped me in and out of the ring in so many ways. Johnny Tapia was the nicest, most humble man I’ve ever met. We became family until the gym fell apart. He only coached me about eight months, but he taught me that boxing defines you as a person, in en uit van die ring. I feel safe in the ring. I’m a better person because of Johnny and boxing.”

Styl-wyse, Sharahya-Taina preys on her opponents’ mistakes, adjusting in the ring the same as, she says, “Just like in life.” At 5′ 10″, Moreu has a distinct height and reach advantage over most of her middleweight opponents, using those attributes, her speed and stiff jab to relentlessly pile up points.

She strongly believes that, because of Claressa Shields‘ gold-medal performances in the 2012 en 2016 Olimpiese Spele, the doors are open wider for women in boxing. “I saw an American woman do what Clarissa did and become a dominant force in boxing,” Moreu remarked. “(2016 U.S. Olympian and three-time USA Boxing National Champion)) Mikaela Mayer (3-0, 2 KOs as a pro) has helped a lot, te. She signed with a good promoter (Top Rank). Boxing is slowly getting better for woman, maybe not equal to men, but there are more girls boxing today than ever before and that’s a good sign.”

Fighting at home in the Western Qualifier has a special meaning for Moreu. “I thought fighting in Albuquerque would be a lot of pressure,” she admitted, “but there’s not much pressure on me because of all the support I’m receiving. It’s easy here. Albuquerque isn’t like a big city but it’s becoming a fight town.

“I like to travel and meet different people. Verlede jaar, I represented to United States in India at the Youth Championships, and I saw another part of the world, how people trained and had different life styles. I’m turning 19 Mei, so this is my first-time boxing in an Elite tournament, and it’s great doing it in my hometown.

Moreu also credits her father for a large amount of her success in the ring and life. “He’s been a single parent, but he’s always been there doing his best for me as a father and coach,” Sharahya-Taina noted. “Most people don’t know that he’s Puerto Rican, my mother a Native American (Pueblo).”

Like most young, elite athletes, Sharahya-Taina has a dream. “2020 in the Olympics,” she concluded. “I want to establish myself as an amateur and eventually go pro and have a good career.”

Former Irish National Team head coach Billy Walsh Now rebuilding Team USA boxing program

2018 USA vs. Ierland Noordooste Boxing Tour:
See. 12 Boston, See. 15 Springfield, See. 21 Manchester, NH

Billy Walsh (sentrum) is shown here receiving his Best of 2017 Elite World Championships Award

COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Februarie 22, 2018) – USA Boxing head coach Billy Walsh was the head coach of his native country’s amateur program in Ireland for 12 years and, ironies, those two squads will compete in three friendly duals next month on the 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Tour.
A 1988 Ireland Olympian, Walsh coached the Irish Team from 2003 te 2015, and he took over Team USA in 2015, capturing the AIBA’s World Coach of the Year the past two years.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will commence Maart 12 by Royale Entertainment Complex Boston se, followed by match-ups on Maart 15 by die Mass Mutual Sentrum in Springfield, Massa., and Manchester, NH will close out tours onMaart 21 by The Manchester Downtown Hotel. Boks sal begin by 7:00 namiddag. EST in al drie stede.

Tickets for any of these events may be purchased online at http://go.teamusa.org/2nX3Vjc. Elke stad sal ten toon te stel tot 12 eindig, each to be live-streamed, verniet, op die webwerf VSA Boks se (www.usaboxing.org).

“Aan die einde van die dag,” the 54-year-old Walsh admitted, “it is an unusual situation for me. But I’ve been coaching here two years and Team USA is my team now. I didn’t come here for just a few years. When I eventually leave, Team USA will have developed continuity and a solid program.
“I am a true Irishman who developed through a system that won multiple titles and I was the Irish Team captain for five years. I’m helping develop strong relations between USA and Ireland that can help both programs. Ireland has been among the best of the world – amazing considering the geographical size of Ireland — with its fighters’ great hearts along with their technique and skill. There’s a lot of talent and resources in the states, but amateur boxers have been taught to develop skills more for professional boxing. Here there is a variety of different ethnic groups: Mexicans, African-American and Caucasians, te. It’s truly a melting pot and each has a unique style of boxing. We are now providing coaching education for US programs to be sustainable long term.”
Boston, natuurlik, is known for being Irish friendly, om die minste te sê. The Mayor of Boston, for example, is Marty Walsh. Coach Walsh has only been in Boston once, 10 years ago with his wife for a short holiday.
“I didn’t do or get to see too much,” Walsh added. “but I know that there’s a lot of Irish history in Boston. Boston is a home away from home for the Irish. I have some friends and family there. I even joke that the mayor is my cousin. I understand that there are a lot of Irish in Springfield and Manchester, sowel. I’m looking forward to going to all three cities on this tour.”
Rosters for the USA and Irish teams will soon be announced.

USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour Kicks-off March 12 in Boston

Skryf 'n opmerking
“Fightin’ Ierse” boxing history
Rich in Boston
COLORADO SPRINGS, Lap. (Februarie 12, 2018) – “Fightin’ Ierse” and Boston boxing has been synonymous for more than a century, since the Irish first started emigrating to the United States in general, Boston in particular, na die Great Potato Famine.
Many Irish and Irish-American boxers have fought in the Greater Boston area, some born and others resettling there. This rich tradition continues next month in a different way when the three-city 2018 USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour kicks-off Maandag, Maart 12, at the newly renovated Royale Entertainment Complex in Boston’s famed theater district. The Boston stop, which is being presented by Budweiser, will have general admission tickets for $20.00 and a limited amount of $30.00 reserved tickets go on sale today (Maandag, Februarie. 12) by 12 namiddag. EN are available to purchase online here.
The USA vs. Ireland Northeast Boxing Tour will continue Maart 15 by die Mass Mutual Sentrum in Springfield, Massa., concluding Maart 21 at The Manchester Downtown Hotel in New Hampshire.
All the duals will begin at 7:00 namiddag. EST en kaartjies sal beskikbaar wees vir die aankoop in die komende weke gemaak word. Elke stad sal ten toon te stel tot 12 eindig, which will all be live streamed, verniet, op die webwerf VSA Boks se (www.usaboxing.org).
The tradition started back in the 19ste century with “The Boston Strongboy,” John. L. Sullivan (Roxbury, MA), the first millionaire American athlete, as well as the first “gloves” world heavyweight champion and final “bare knuckles” heavyweight champion of the world. An International Boxing Hall of Famer, Sullivan won 38 van 38 pro gevegte, 30 coming by knockout, with only one loss and two draws.
Another Hall-of-Famer from that era, Jake Kilrain (29-5-8, 17 Uitklophoue), lived in Somerville and Quincy, both Boston suburbs. Kilrain (1829-1899) also reigned as world heavyweight champion.
Irish boxers from Greater Boston continued this rich tradition through the end of the 19ste and beginning of the 20ste centuries with world champions and top contenders such as welterweight Paddy Duffy (31-3,16, 18 Uitklophoue), Lawrence welterweight Mike Glover(Cavanaugh – 30-5-5, 16 Uitklophoue), and Charlestown welterweight Mike “Twin” Sullivan(28-6-16, 17 Uitklophoue), and Newton bantamweight Jimmy Walsh (33-10-20, 14 Uitklophoue)
In the 1950’s, Woburn lightweight “Ierse” Tommy Collins (61-12, 44 Uitklophoue) was dropped 10 times at the Boston Garden by world champion Jimmy Carter, until he finally succumbed in the fourth round. His gutsy performance, egter, earned him an appearance on the popular Ed Sullivan Show.
Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley (37-14, 28 Uitklophoue), unsuccessfully fought for the world title in 1961, stopped in the fourth round of his Toronto fight versus defending champion Floyd Patterson, and McNeeley’s son, Boston-native and later Medfield resident Peter “Hurricane” McNeeley (47-7, 30 Uitklophoue) famously was stopped in the opening round by “Yster” Mike Tyson in the latter’s first fight after his release from prison.
In the 1980’s, Irish boxers made their way to Boston to fight; some returned home after their careers, others relocated in the area. In 1984, Ireland-native Sean Mannion (42-14, 13 Uitklophoue), who had moved to the Dorchester section of Boston, lost a 15-round decision in Madison Square Garden to Mike McCallum for the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super Middleweight World Championship.
Steve “Celtic Warrior” Collins (25-2-1, 18 Uitklophoue) moved to Everett, later to Brockton, to work with Goody en Pat Petronelli, who handled Wonderlike Marvin Hagler throughout is Hall of Fame career. Collins captured the World Boxing Organization (WBO) middleweight and super middleweight world titles before moving back to Ireland.
Collins’ jonger broer, Packie Collins, also moved to Brockton to fight. He later worked with Irish heavyweight champion Kevin “The Clones Colossus” McBride (35-10-1, 29 Uitklophoue), who went on to knock Tyson out and into retirement. McBride, who still lives in Dorchester, was a stablemate of former Team Ireland head coach and current Team USA head coach, Billy Walsh, at the European Games. Both were also Ireland Olympians, onderskeidelik, in 1988 en 1992.
Another Ireland Olympian, Wayne “Pocket Rocket” McCullough (27-7, 18 Uitklophoue), moved to Las Vegas from Northern Ireland. The luck of the Irish wasn’t with him in Boston in 1997, when he lost his World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight title at Hynes Convention Center, by way of a 12-round split decision to Daniel Zaragoza.
Arguably the most famous and popular Irish-American boxer, outside of Sullivan and Jack Dempsey, is Lowell junior welterweight “Ierse” Micky Ward (38-13, 27 Uitklophoue), who was involved in three Fight of the Year award winners, two from his epic trilogy with Arturo Gatti, and the first boxer with more than 10 career losses to earn a $1-million purse. Ward’s life was portrayed by another Boston icon, actor Mark Wahlberg, in the award-winning movie, “The Fighter.”
Irish boxers are still coming to Boston to fight. Locally-based Murphys Boxing has promoted numerous shows in Boston featuring world-class boxers such as Gary “Spike” O'Sullivan and undefeated super bantamweight TJ “Power” Doheny (18-0, 13 Uitklophoue), as well as undefeated rising stars such as “Steek” Ray Mayotte and New England & Massachusetts heavyweight champion Niall Kennedy (10-0, 6 Uitklophoue).
The Irish team will announce its boxers later this month after the conclusion of its National Championships.
Headlining Team USA’s roster is 2017 World Championship brons medalje Troy Isley(Alexandria, VA). USA Boxing’s team will also include Virginia Fuchs (Kemah, Texas), who won four international gold medals in 2017, 2016 Jeug wêreldkampioen en 2017 Elite Continental Kampioenskappe silwer medalje, delante Johnson (Cleveland, OH), 2017 USA Boxing Heavyweight National Champion Jared Anderson (Toledo, OH) en 2016 Jeug Wêreldkampioenskap brons medalje en 2017 VSA Boks Super Swaargewig Nasionale Kampioen, Richard Torrez (Tulare, SOOS).

Is USA Boxing Nationals Champion Jared Anderson America’s next great heavyweight?

Skryf 'n opmerking
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (Desember 21, 2017) – Christmas came early for Jared 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, Anders, in orde, defeated No. 2 Jesus Flores in die openingsronde, 5-0, edged No. 3 Adrian Tillman in die halfeindronde, 3-2, and upset five-time national champion Cam F. Awesome, 5-0, in die kampioenskap finale.
In USA Boxing’s most recently listed heavyweight ratings (November. 17, 2017), Tillman and Awesome are ranked No. 1 en 2, onderskeidelik, 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, al, 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, Ohio, 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 explained. “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, Duitsland, 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. swaargewigte.
As a young boxer, Anderson admired three legends who were all products of USA Boxing, U.S. Olympians and Olympic medal winners: 1. Ray Leonard suiker – “Fast hande, spoed, a phenomenal boxer.” 2. Evander Holyfield – “A warrior who could bang or box. Moved up successfully from cruiserweight to heavyweight.” 3.Muhammad Ali — “Not just because he was a great boxer, but more so because of his life.”
Nou, Anderson stand 6′ 2 and weighs 200 lbs., but he’s only 18 and should continue growing even larger. Uiteindelik, 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) Olimpiese Spele,” Anderson concluded. “I’m not turning pro until after the (2020) Olimpiese Spele. 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.
