Plant City, FL (Maart 1, 2018) – Many in the boxing world best remember Brazilian lightweight William Silva for his gutsy 2016 performance against Felix Verdejo. In the HBO televised bout, Silva showed tremendous heart and toughness but was outpointed over ten rounds in front of a sold out pro-Verdejo crowd.
“I didn’t have the right team or training camp at the time,"Het Silva, who entered the Verdejo bout 23-0.
Since relocating to Florida from Arizona, Silva linked up with Jose Rodriguez at the Plant City Boxing Gym and inked a promotional agreement with Tampa-based Fire Fist Boxing Promotions. In November 2017, he returned to the ring after a year and a half layoff to outpoint Ariel Vasquez. So ver, everything has paid off and Silva’s currently in top form.
“He’s been training at a fantastic pace, Said Rodriguez. “His balance and power are extraordinary – he’s ready to fight!"
Op Saterdag, Maart 3, Silva faces tough Rogelio Casarez in the 10 round main event of a Fire Fist Boxing card at Banquet Masters in Clearwater, FL. Silva-Casarez is for the NBA World and IBO Continental lightweight championships. Casarez, who has a deceiving 13-6 rekord, faced excellent opposition including Jamel Herring and multi-division title contender Cesar Seda, who he took the distance last August.
“I don’t know much about him besides that he’s a tough lefty that comes at you,” Silva said of his opponent.
Even with limited information about the man he’ll swap punches with Saturday evening, Silva’s confident he’ll defeat his Arkansas-based foe before setting his sights on the 135 pound division’s elite.
"(With a victory) I hope to get ranked and fight the top fighters at 135. This is my time to make it happen because I’ve got the right people behind me that believe in my career.”
The card starts at 7 pm and also features 7 other bouts including local standouts Nicholas Iannuzzi, Antonio Tarver Jr., Joseph Fernandez, Ricky Tomlinson and Ozodek Aripov.

Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring

Skryf 'n opmerking
TAMPA (Mei 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. Olimpiese Anthony “Magic Man” Tarver – unbeaten junior middleweight prospect 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 Uitklophoue) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, stop Jose Cortez in die tweede ronde. 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,” he explained. “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, who didn’t start boxing until he was 19. He had a very brief amateur career and fully realizes that he’s consistently going to be fighting more experienced boxers.
“In die ring,” Tarver gesê, “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.”
“Soos 'n vader,” Tarver Sr., opgemerk, “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…..look out. 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. He’s improving all of the time. 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,” hy erken. “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, natuurlik, 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, other than 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″ or so.
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. bygevoeg. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

LAKELAND, FLORIDA (Mei 9, 2016) – Undefeated contender Kanat Islam (21-0, 18 Uitklophoue) stopped Colombia’s Jesus De Angel (18-4-1, 17 Uitklophoue) in the sixth round ofSondag night’s main event on Premier Boxing Champions: Die volgende ronde opBounce TV from the Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida.
The rising 154-pounder from Kazakhstan stopped his ninth straight opponent inside the distance when De Angel fell to the canvas twice in round six prompting referee Telis Assimenios to halt the bout 22 sekondes in die rondte.
De Angel appeared to succumb to an ankle injury while taking a step backward that forced him to drop to the canvas. Islam sensed his moment and pounced on the injured brawler to put an end to the bout quickly. De Angel was taken to the emergency room after the fight due to the in-ring injury.
A 2004 Olimpiese brons medalje, Islam was able to navigate around the four-inch reach advantage owned by De Angel and control the fight with his athleticism and powerful right hand. His first headlining appearance was a successful one as he looks to continue to climb the ladder towards a world title.
The co-main event of the evening saw Miguel Cruz (13-0, 11 Uitklophoue) take home a split decision victory over Samuel Figueroa (10-1, 4 Uitklophoue) in an eight-round back-and-forth battle of unbeaten welterweight prospects.
The friends turned rivals brought the action from the beginning as the smaller southpaw Figueroa aggressively attacked the body of Cruz in early exchanges. Cruz’s timing improved as the fight went on and his combinations began to land and stunt the attack of Figueroa.
Some of the best back-and-forth action came in round six as both fighters had found their way through the opponent’s defense. Cruz used his length to beat Figueroa to the punch, but Figueroa continued to throw punches and do plenty of damage throughout the heated final stanzas.
In a fight that appeared to be an even affair, the judges scores were 77-75 for Figueroa and 78-74 en 77-75 for Cruz to give him the split decision.
In die opening bout van die beeldsending, super-veergewigtitel Dennis GALARZA (13-1, 8 Uitklophoue) won his eighth straight fight as he defeated durable Mexican Yardley Suarez (15-4, 9 Uitklophoue) over eight hard fought rounds.
Galarza used his length advantage to break Suarez down with his jab and penetrate his defense with various combinations. The Brooklyn-born fighter now training out of Orlando dominated the first half of the fight on his way to the unanimous decision.
Suarez began to pick up the action in the second half of the fight landing several hard punches and challenging Galarza to exchange in the middle of the ring in round five. He landed perhaps the best combination of the fight in round six with a pair of punches that sent Galarza into retreat mode for the remainder of the round.
Overall it was Galarza’s output that proved to be the biggest difference as he threw 421 punches to Suarez’s 305 on his way to a 117-99 advantage in punches landed. Die beoordelaars’ tellings was 77-75 en 78-74 twice for Galarza.
Hier is wat die vegters te sê gehad het Sondag nag:
KANAT ISLAM
“It felt good to go to (six) rounds to get the win. My last few opponents didn’t put up a fight and challenge me. My team wanted to test me and everything went to plan for what I wanted to do in the ring.
“I boxed, I used my feet, I moved in and out, I set up my power punches and I was able to finish him off. I hope he’s OK, I know it’s hard to fight with an injury. I hope he recovers soon.
“I saw he was beginning to get tired around round four and knew I had him hurt. That’s when I started hitting him with harder punches. I did the work I wanted to do, and then I wanted to finish him.
“There were a lot of fans from the Kazakhstan community here, a lot of fans who traveled from far places to see me fight. That meant a lot to me. I wanted to make sure they got to see everything I can do in the ring. Now I want them to see me win a world title this year.
“I feel like I can come back môre. I don’t want any longer breaks in my career. I want big fights. Who are the champions? That is who I want to fight.”
MIGUEL CRUZ
“I know that I won the fight in the end, but it was a hard fight, a very tough fight. I was landing the cleaner shots but there were times where he was putting the pressure on me. He hurt me with body shots and he actually managed to hurt me in the last round with a right hook. I recognized when he hurt me and I hit him and hurt him right back. I had him hurt a couple of times.
“I knew he was a tough guy from when we fought in the amateurs and from when we sparred together. He made me bring something out of me that I didn’t even know I had and I appreciate him for that.
“This was the toughest fight of my career. Nou, I want to rest and relax, but within the next 2-3 months I’ll start looking at the guys that can get me closer to a world title.
“The fight’s over, we can absolutely go back to being friends. It’s business. They told us we had to fight each other. We’re better fighters for it and now it’s over and back to the way it was between us as far as I’m concerned.”
SAMUEL FIGUEROA
“I didn’t think Miguel won the fight but that’s how the judges seen that. I don’t know how, but I can’t do anything about that. The first rounds I hit him clear in the face, Miguel only caught me with a couple of clean shots but I was catching a lot of his punches with my hands and elbows. I don’t know how I lost this fight.
“I love fighting unbeaten opponents. I train with champions in the gym, I have the resources to get me ready for these fights.
“Yes of course we go back to being friends. Nothing personal. He’s my friend. We’re cool.”
DENNIS GALARZA
“It felt good to go eight rounds. I didn’t mind going rounds, although I wanted to take him out. He was throwing a lot of wild shots just looking to catch me with a lucky blow. He caught me with some good shots but he never had me hurt. I train with southpaws all the time and was ready for anything Yardley Suarez had to offer.
“I want to come back as soon as possible. Whatever my team has in store for me, Ek sal gereed wees.”
YARDLEY SUAREZ
“I had him hurt but feel like I let the opportunity get away from me. I wasn’t busy enough; I need to let my hands go more. My corner told me that I needed a knockout to win. I went for it, but I couldn’t slow him down and land enough punches.
“I want to stay on this level, I could have done more but know that I can compete with the best.”

Die fightin’ Tarvers

Daar is baie voordele en nadele met “Magic Man” as jou pa, veral wanneer hy steeds 'n aktiewe, wêreldklas vegter. “Ek is my eie man,” verduidelik Tarver Jr. wat 'n basketbal speler kollege totdat hy bewys dat sy vader ten volle toegewy aan boks was. “Hy is meer berekende; Ek is vinniger omdat ek 'n junior middelgewigtitel en hy is 'n swaargewig. Hy is 'n verdedigende genie en ek werk hard elke dag om my verdediging verbeter. Ek het nie enige druk op myself as sy seun. Hy het my altyd vertel om my drome te bereik, Ek het om hard te werk, breek my boude, bring dit alles in my vaardighede en kunsvlyt.

 

“Ek het net gehad het 10 gevegte in my hele loopbaan (2 professionele, 8 amateur) en ek probeer om te vang-up met almal anders wat veel meer ervaring in die ring. Maar ek het my pa praat in my oor met raad van al sy ervaring en 'n groot afrigter in Orlando. Mense gaan groot verskille uit my eerste twee gevegte sien. Ek is gereed vir die stryd!”

 

Pa Antonio se is baie opgewonde oor sy seun se derde professionele stryd. “Dit is 'n ongelooflike gevoel om volgende transformasie my seun se ondersoek na die vegter hy wil wees,” hy erken. “Niemand werk harder as Junior. Hy is toegewy, gefokus en al wat gee my 'n ware maklik gevoel. Al wat ek doen is praat met hom om hom geestelik te help. Ek kan nie veg vir hom, maar ek kan hom te lei, hoop hy neem die regte vordering. Hy het alles gaan vir hom – talent en sy kop op reguit. Ek het nog nooit bekommerd wees oor hom kry in die moeilikheid. Hy is 'n ander ras van vegter, my grootste prestasie as 'n man, en ek is baie opgewonde oor sy toekoms in hierdie wedstryd.

Jimmy Williams

“Hy was Keith Thurman se belangrikste lewensmaat vir sy stryd, en daar was 'n buzz van hul sparring sessies. Keith is een van die warmste jong vegters in die wêreld en Junior het hom alles wat hy kon hanteer. Ek sê Junior al die tyd dat sparring is nie dieselfde as 'n stryd. Sparring nie kry wat jy betaal of kampioenskappe. Junior weet dat hy in 'n stryd het om te doen wat hy so hard gewerk het in die gimnasium. Die lesse wat hy geleer het uit sparring met Keith gemaak Junior meer selfvertroue.”

Tarver Jr. het in Tampa geleer deur dieselfde afrigter, 86-jaar-oue Jimmy Williams, wat ook opgelei Tarver Sr. toe hy 12.

 

“Elke stryd is 'n uitdaging en toets as Antonio werk sy pad tot die boks leer,” Cuellar kommentaar. “Met sy beperkte amateur ervaring, Antonio gehad het om te leer oor die werk, cramming vir die geestelike en fisiese uitdagings wat aangebied sal word. Hy is passievol en toegewyd op 'n konsekwente basis. Antonio lyk al die gereedskap het om 'n goeie lopie te maak. Ons sal graad sy Julie 11ste prestasie en gaan van daar af.”

 

Asof Tarver Jr. nodig enige bykomende inspirasie, Hy het net dat as 'n pa te-wees vir die eerste keer in September. “Die sperdatum vir my seuntjie is September 17,” het hy bygevoeg. “Dit het my nog meer gemotiveer.”

Dit beteken ook dat 46-jarige Tarver, Sr. sal later veg vanjaar as 'n oupa, op sy soeke na die oudste wêreld swaargewig kampioen in die boks geskiedenis geword.

 

“Ek is so bly vir Junior maar om 'n oupa nie maak my voel ou,” Tarver Sr. gesluit. “Hy is 'n ander kat. Ek hom verhoed om die foute wat ek gemaak het. Hy is gereeld vir vyf jaar saam met sy vriendin, en nou is hulle 'n baba. Ek kan nie gelukkiger wees. Dit is 'n goeie tyd vir my. Wanneer Ek het besluit om af te tree, Ek sal die fakkel hand na hom, nog warm, en laat ons sien hoe ver hy met dit loop.”
