Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
 TAMPA (Mayo 10, 2016) – Fighting for his young family, as well as to expand the legacy associated with his last name, the son of 5-time world champion and 1996 U.S. Olímpico Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver – el invicto prospecto de peso mediano junior Antonio Tarver, Jr. – this past weekend continued establishing his own identity in the ring.After a 9-month absence, the 28-year-old Tarver (4-0, 3 KOs) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, parada Jose Cortez en la segunda ronda. Tarver displayed his improving skills, especially a punishing body attack, during a thoroughly dominating performance. He broke-down Cortez and closed the show in style.
“It took me one round to get rid of ring rust,” él explicó. “We had a game-plan to go to the body, then the head, body and head, but it took me a round to do it. God’s really blessed me and I owe all thanks to Him. My father and coach, Jimmy Williams, have always told me not to look for a knockout but that it’ll come. I’m not a one-punch knockout fighter. It’s all about setting up shots and putting them together. I may not connect with every single body shot I throw, but if I get in three of four each round, it’ll eventually cause damage. I’m focusing on my opponent’s liver and ribs, trying to be a body-snatcher.”
Tarver was an athlete, playing basketball and football, que no comenzó el boxeo hasta que estuvo 19. He had a very brief amateur career and fully realizes that he’s consistently going to be fighting more experienced boxers.
“En el ring,” Tarver dijo, “I’m still a baby. My opponents may be much more experienced than me, but I do have a lot of experience around me: my father, coach Williams and Darrell Foreman. My father wouldn’t support me as a fighter until I proved to him that I was worthy (sacrificing and training). I’m worthy now and believe I’m coming into my own as I continue to learn.”
“Como padre,” Tarver Sr., conocido, “I wanted him to know what he was getting into and have the tools to succeed. He’s as tough as nails. When he realizes how strong he really is…..Estar atento. There’s a difference between hitting an opponent with a punch and punching through him like he’s doing now. I just wish he’d get started quicker. He doesn’t get going until he gets hit and then he turns into a beast. A ferociousness comes out from inside that I never had. Está mejorando todo el tiempo. He’s putting punches together better and sitting down on his punches.
“Antonio is going to be a fan-friendly fighter. I know I put him under a lot of pressure, but he’s fighting much more experienced guys. I’ve never been worried about him fighting a tough guy. It’s the guys who think in the ring and have amateur pedigree that can be problems for him.”
Understanding that his opponents get pumped to fight him because of his last name, Antonio Jr. rationalizes that, taking advantage of the situation he is in. “It’s very important for my opponents to beat me and the name,” admitió. “My father set this stage for me and my name is, Antonio Tarver, Jr., so they’re trying to give us both a loss. I’m fighting for my family and to protect the legacy of my last name. I try and take advantage of being my father’s son and accept everything that goes with that. I don’t try to put pressure on myself but, por supuesto, I want to be the best Antonio Tarver Jr. I can be.
“People are always going to compare me with my father but we fight in different weight classes. Light heavyweights, otro que Roy Jones Jr., are slower than junior middleweights, who are much quicker like Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m always going to be fighting opponents taller than me, or sometimes the same height, but I’m 5′ 9″ and a lot of my opponents are going to be 6′ 2″ más o menos.
The father has another important lesson he’s teaching his son. “Antonio became a father for the first time last September and he was slow getting back in the gym,” Antonio Sr. adicional. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

A continuación se muestra lo que los luchadores dijeron durante el entrenamiento.:
POLVORIENTO HERNANDEZ-HARRISON:
“Creo que mucha gente está subestimando a Mike Dallas Jr. Creo que lo están contando demasiado pronto. Muchas veces, cuando las personas regresan de una derrota difícil, entrenan más duro., se lo toman más en serio y borran todos los errores que cometieron en campos de entrenamiento anteriores, así que eso es lo que espero que haga. Por suerte, Barry Hunter [Entrenador de Hernandez-Harrison] lo conoce bien como luchador, así que me he salido de lo que dice.
"He estado haciendo un gran combate en. Llegué a casa después de entrenar con Canelo Alvarez y entré directamente a entrenar con Lamont Peterson., Austin trucha, Demetrius Hopkins y otros luchadores en la cartelera. Muy buen combate.
"Estoy emocionado de luchar en BET. Es genial. Creo que es bueno llevar el boxeo a una nueva audiencia. Esperemos, Les puse buena pelea para que se entretuvieran. Y tenemos a Justine Skye actuando antes de nuestra pelea. Ella tiene una base de fans completamente diferente a la mía y creo que es otra buena manera de agregar una nueva audiencia a nuestro evento..
“Saqué muchas cosas del entrenamiento con Canelo en su campo de entrenamiento. Fue bueno tener una perspectiva diferente de un campo de entrenamiento.. Por lo general, todo se trata de mí, todo está atendido para mí y todos están preocupados por mí, así que fue bueno dar un paso atrás y ver cómo alguien como él en el nivel superior se prepara para una pelea por el título mundial.. Afortunadamente, Me alejé sabiendo que había estado haciendo todo bien.
"Peleando en mi ciudad natal de Washington, D.C. es mejor para mi. Siento que tengo más por lo que luchar. Tengo mas que perder, que para mi ayuda. Nunca me oirás decir "no mas" en D.C.
"A mi edad, mi preparación cambia con cada pelea. Recuerdo haber peleado en Connecticut en abril y luego en Miami en agosto, que parece muy cerca, pero Billy Briscoe [Entrenador asistente de Hernandez-Harrison] estaba allí y dijo "te has vuelto mucho más fuerte". Esa es la edad que tengo ahora. Realmente estoy madurando y obteniendo la fuerza de ese hombre. En cada pelea me siento mucho más fuerte ".
MIKE “EL ASESINO SILENCIOSO” DALLAS JR.:
“Me siento muy bien antes de esta pelea ... seguro y fuerte. Estoy listo para salir y actuar. Hay más presión sobre él que yo peleando en su ciudad natal.
"He recibido un buen entrenamiento para esta pelea. El Área de la Bahía tiene muchos buenos combates en este momento.. Tuve un buen entrenamiento con Ben Bautista [Entrenador de Dallas Jr.] y lo hemos estado impulsando. Tuve que profundizar en el entrenamiento para superarlo y estoy listo para profundizar en la pelea..
“Me tomé un tiempo libre para dejar que mi cuerpo descansara y sanara y para que mi mente se reuniera. Ahora me siento genial. Estoy listo para volver y volver a estar al tanto de las cosas. Voy a salir y hacer lo mío.
"Sé que Dusty es un luchador bastante bueno. Yo se que el puede boxear. Estoy listo para salir, Sea inteligente y ejecute el plan de juego.. Estoy listo para que la gente sepa que estoy de regreso y mentalmente. Estoy listo para volver al juego y cuidar de estas personas en estas peleas más importantes ".
THOMAS "KO" NIEVE:
"Conozco a mi oponente [Orlando Del Valle] es un luchador convencional de Puerto Rico. Es un luchador básico ... un golpeador básico uno-dos. Es el mejor oponente al que me he enfrentado hasta la fecha.. Ambos tenemos dos derrotas, así que sé que es una encrucijada para nosotros. Vamos a entrar y hacer lo que vinimos a hacer.
"He peleado en D.C. muchas veces. Es mi casa.
"Es increíble porque conozco a Dusty desde que tenía seis años. Solíamos correr juntos. Solo estábamos hablando de eso en la esquina. Si miras cualquiera de sus peleas de aficionados, me oirás de fondo animándolo. He estado en su vida durante mucho tiempo y es increíble ver a un joven tener su oportunidad y hacer crecer el deporte del boxeo..
“Conozco nuestro programa de aficionados en D.C. es increíble, así que tienes que dar un saludo a todos los aficionados.. D.C. está a punto de ser la meca del boxeo una vez más. Tendremos seis, siete u ocho campeones en el Distrito de Columbia. Es rico en boxeo.
"Creo que luchar en BET es algo genial. Creo que es genial que el boxeo esté ahora en televisión gratis y la gente no tenga que pagar por ello. Para aquellas personas que no pueden pagar esas cosas, Creo que es fantástico para ellos y creo que mejorará el deporte del boxeo..
"He cambiado mucho a lo largo de los años. Se supone que debo estar muerto, encerrado o en la cárcel. Tener a Dios en tu vida, tu perspectiva de la vida y todo cambia. Estoy tranquilo y cómodo en mi situación.. Doy gracias a dios por la oportunidad. Agradezco a Roc Nation Sports por la oportunidad y agradezco a todos los que apoyan a Thomas “KO” Snow.. Estamos listos para hacerlo ".
MIKE BALOGUN:
“Durante mi carrera, cuando jugaba futbol, Usé el boxeo como otra forma de entrenamiento cardiovascular.. Después de que mi carrera terminó, era natural para mí seguir entrenando y ahora estamos aquí. El futbol es un negocio. Me liberaron y tuve otra oportunidad de jugar en la Canadian Football League y en la Arena Football League., pero el fútbol pasa factura a tu cuerpo y jugué el juego durante mucho tiempo. Fue simplemente natural para mí hacer la transición. Todavía necesitaba algo para mantenerme activo, porque sin actividad, No me sentí como yo mismo.
"No sé mucho acerca de mi oponente [Devon Mosley]. Sé que es un zurdo como yoEso es prácticamente todo lo que sé y todo lo que necesito saber.
"Me he preparado para esta pelea como cualquier otra pelea ... trabajo duro y dedicándome a mi oficio. Al final del día, cosecharé los frutos de mi trabajo ".
SAM “VANILLA GORILLA” CRUZADO:
"No sé mucho acerca de mi oponente [Damion Reed]. Sé que es un tipo alto y zurdo. Solo vi un pequeño video de el. He estado haciendo sparring con muchos zurdos y luego nos topamos con un zurdo, así que funcionó bastante bien.
"Todavía estoy un poco decepcionado por mi última actuación en D.C., así que voy a salir y dar un espectáculo Viernes, Mayo 13.
"Cualquiera con quien subas al ring representa una amenaza, pero al mismo tiempo, Confío en lo que he hecho para prepararme. He estado haciendo sparring con chicos 20 peleas como profesional, de forma, Creo que estoy bien.
"Jugaba al fútbol y al béisbol mientras crecía. Fundamentalmente, Lo que me metió en el boxeo fue que me molestaron cuando era más joven y me golpearon en la cancha de baloncesto.. Siempre dije que cuando creciera quiero poder golpear a los tipos que me molestaban.. Lo gracioso es que muchos tipos que me intimidaron ahora me están suplicando entradas para mis peleas ".

Here’s what the fighters said about their fights Viernes, training camp, their respective opponents and more:
ANDREW Tabiti
“It’s great that four undefeated cruiserweights are fighting each other. I want us to get the ball back into U.S. territory, since it is a historically European-dominated division. I definitely think the emergence of young cruiserweights like myself is changing that.
“I don’t compare myself to other cruiserweights in the division, I know I’m the best. I’m always looking to win impressively, and I look to put on a great performance for the fansViernes noche.
“Everything has been perfect. El campo de entrenamiento ha ido genial. I started camp in February so I feel strong and comfortable. What’s interesting is that I’m not nervous at all despite this being my first headlining debut. I see it as any other fight where I know what I am coming in to do. I think that lets me know that I am maturing as a fighter and feel a lot more confident in my skills and abilities.
“I’ve been waiting for the right date and this is it. I believe my career moving is great, what I dreamed of. Now it’s time to take the next step.
“Personally I’ve never seen Tapia fight, but I’ve watched videos. He is unbeaten, a solid opponent. Styles make fights and this is a good one for me. I’m looking forward to continuing to step up and give everybody a good performance and get close to a title fight.
“No puedo esperar. I’m going in confident. The key is to get the victory, it’s the main thing. Winning is everything.
“I feel blessed to be training out of Floyd’s gym and be able to fight under Mayweather Promotions. He’s someone I look up to so being where I am is a dream coming to reality. I love training at Mayweather Boxing Club. It keeps me focused and hungry.”
KEITH TAPIA
“Fighting Tabiti is a great, real challenge. I like the way he fights. Lo respeto, but I’m going to be bad weather for him. I’m going to take control right away; it will be a Tapia fight, not a Tabiti fight. That’s a fact.
“Tabiti is a talented boxer. His style is a Mayweather style. I love Floyd Mayweather as a fan, but Tabiti’s not Floyd Mayweather. Me? Vengo a luchar, manos arriba, moving forward as I go. I want to run over you.
“I’m definitely going to change the perception about me in this fight and the division because I’m a machine. I’m really confident and can’t wait to fight.
"Para mí, this is the right time. I am here and definitely ready to fight. I feel I’m the best in my weight class except no one has seen me yet. Tabiti may have the fame, but I’m not just going to talk the talk, I’m going to walk the walk.
“I think this is a big step up for me when I beat him. Once the bell rings, that’s when we know what is going to really happen.
“I’m going to become the cruiserweight champion, defend it a couple of times and then move up. I already feel like a champion both mentally and spiritually.
“All of my fights are equally important. I’m really satisfied with the way my career is going. If it wasn’t for boxing I wouldn’t be here right now. God and boxing saved me. If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be alive.”
MICHAEL HUNTER
“This is a step up as far as competition compared to the past, with him being an undefeated cruiserweight. Es un buen, long-ranging southpaw. We are actually around the same age; we were in the amateurs at the same time, but never fought each other.Viernes, I aim to win impressively. I don’t want to say I’m going for the knockout, if it happens it happens, but hopefully we can get it.
“Although I’ve fought on TV quite a few times before, this is going to be a good show with Mayweather Promotions. I’m thankful to be fighting on the undercard of my good friend Andrew Tabiti. That’s an honor, sinceramente. It’s going to be great that my family and friends outside of Las Vegas will be able to tune in to watch me, so that’s a blessing.
“I wouldn’t say I’m satisfied with the way my career is going. I can’t complain because I have no losses, I just wish it would go at a little faster pace. I’m a two-time Olympian and in the amateurs we’re used to fighting 4-5 times out of the week, so adjusting to fighting once every few months or so feels a little stagnant to me. I really try not to think too far into the future, I try to live in the moment, but I hope to get a title shot relatively soon.
“I went into training camp right after my last fight, so it’s been about eight weeks. There’s always ups and downs in training, but as long as you keep a positive spirit, everything will end up going perfectly well. So it’s been going good I can’t complain. I usually train out of the Mayweather Boxing Club, but there’s been some construction going on so we have moved it to Fight Capitol and a few other places.
“I have been changing my training just to better myself, not necessarily for my opponent or for this fight.
“You have to be a little more focused in the Mayweather Gym. There’s a lot of stuff that doesn’t really happen in a normal gym simply because he is Floyd so it will bring it out of you or it won’t. Only the strongest survive.”
Isiah Thomas
"Viernes is a good thing for up-and-coming, American cruiserweights. There are a lot of us in the division looking to make our mark. Not just myself. This is our chance to show that America has good fighters in the cruiserweight division. It’s the perfect showcase.
“I’m very excited about being part of Viernes de tarjeta. I am just taking it all in and looking to perform to the top of my ability and showcase my talents.
“Hunter is young and hungry just like me, but I haven’t really seen or watched him. I’ve heard about him and I’m sure he’s going to bring his “A” game.
"Yo sé lo que puedo hacer, there’s no need for a lot of strategizing. I’m not just showing up.
“I feel my career is going good to this point. I keep rising. I’m on television. I like the pace I’m going but there is only way to really go, and that’s to the top. I don’t consider myself the best cruiserweight, just one of the top comers. Finalmente, and in due time, aunque.
"Viernes, I’m just going to do what I do best. Por supuesto, you want to win impressively but the most important thing is to win. I’ve got to get that W.
“I live in Detroit but train in Miami, which is like a second home to me. Training camp has been going for about two months and it has been great. I get great sparring in Miami.”
Ronald Gavril
“I’m looking forward to having this big opportunity. Many people don’t know who I am so fighting on SHOWTIME will start giving me the exposure and recognition I need.
"El campo de entrenamiento ha ido muy bien, I feel strong and prepared. I’m happy and have no complaints. I feel blessed to be a part of this great card full of fighters with tremendous talent. It’s exciting to be able to share this with my stablemates here in our town.
“I’m looking forward to what this will bring not only for my future but for all of ours.”
JUAN NOVOA
"El campo de entrenamiento ha ido muy bien, I have been training for seven weeks now. I’m currently training in Miami, Fla.
“I have seen videos of his fights and can tell he is a strong fighter who is not afraid to mix it up. Considering that I have more professional fights and over 180 peleas como amateur, it is tough to say whether Gavril is a step up for me, until I step into the ring este viernes.
“I would be more satisfied with my career if I had already won a world title, but unfortunately the circumstances from my last world championship challenge didn’t turn out in my favor. I know that by winning this fight I would immediately launch myself into world title contention and potentially another world title opportunity. I see myself either challenging for, or defending a world title a year from now.”
SANJARBEK RAKHMANOV
“I’ve watched Olvera enough to feel I know him. He’s a taller, Mexican guy. Tengo muchas ganas de pelear con él.
“I train at Mayweather Boxing Club with Dewey Cooper; he’s been my coach since I turned pro. Tenía cerca 150 amateur fights and I got a lot of international experience.
“I consider myself a puncher. Once the bell rings, Vengo a luchar.
“I’m happy with the way things are going. Entreno duro todos los días. I’m coming to take all the titles. This is my weight, alrededor 143 libra. I don’t plan to go up much or down
“In this fight I want to win and look good and then come right back. I think after about a year I will be ready to take on all the top guys.’’
ALFONSO OLVERA
“El campo de entrenamiento ha sido grande; we’ve been in training for about a month. Road work is good, the sparring is good with different boxers. The weight is not an issue. I train at Scrapyard Boxing Gym in Tucson, Ariz.
“Our opponent is formidable and to be taken serious. We know he is aggressive and expects to win so we have to bring our “A” game to the ring. We also expect to win.
“At this point in my career I am very happy with my progress. This card is definitely for the world to see, and is also a big step forward for us.
“We are welcoming the opportunity and grateful for it. We hope this fight elevates us to more opportunities and gets us closer to someday challenging for a world title.”

Ahora, it’s back to the drawing board for the Dutch submission specialist when she looks to spoil the Bellator MMA debut of Alexis Dufresne.
The 25-year-old Alexis Dufresne began her career with a blazing start, earning victories in her first five scraps, all of which she ended in the first round. Born in Temecula, Calif., “Sneaky Zebra” has strung together an impressive resume, including three straight first round knockout wins dating back to her 2013-14 seasons and most recently two appearances for the UFC. Dufresne will be making her Bellator MMA debut el viernes próximo and hopes to get back to her winning ways when she fills in for the absent Julia Budd on short notice.
