En Dissabte, Març 3, Silva faces tough Rogelio Casarez in the 10 round main event of a Fire Fist Boxing card at Banquet Masters in Clearwater, Florida. Silva-Casarez is for the NBA World and IBO Continental lightweight championships. Casarez, who has a deceiving 13-6 registre, 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.”

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

Leave a comment
TAMPA (Maig 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. Olímpic Antonio “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 KOs) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, parada Jose Cortez en la segona 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,” 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.
“En el ring,” Tarver va dir, “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.”
“Com a pare,” Tarver Sr., conegut, “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,” admetre. “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, per descomptat, 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. addicional. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

LAKELAND, FLORIDA (Maig 9, 2016) – Undefeated contender Kanat Islam (21-0, 18 KOs) stopped Colombia’s Jesus De Angel (18-4-1, 17 KOs) in the sixth round ofDiumenge night’s main event on Lliga de Campions de Boxa: La Ronda Següent aRebot de 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 segons a la ronda.
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.
La 2004 Medallista de bronze olímpic, 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 KOs) take home a split decision victory over Samuel Figueroa (10-1, 4 KOs) 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 i 77-75 for Cruz to give him the split decision.
A la primera baralla de la transmissió per televisió, súper ploma Dennis Galarza (13-1, 8 KOs) won his eighth straight fight as he defeated durable Mexican Yardley Suarez (15-4, 9 KOs) 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. Els jutges’ puntuacions van ser 77-75 i 78-74 twice for Galarza.
Això és el que els combatents havien de dir Diumenge nit:
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 demà. 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. Ara, 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, Vaig a estar llest.”
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.”

Hi ha molts pros i els contres que tenen “Magic Man” com el seu pare, especialment quan ell segueix sent un actiu, lluitador de classe mundial. “Jo sóc el meu propi home,” explicar Tarver Jr. qui va ser un jugador de bàsquet de la universitat fins que va demostrar el seu pare que estava totalment dedicat a la boxa. “Ell és més calculat; Estic més ràpid perquè sóc un mitjà júnior i és un pes pesat. És un geni defensiu i estic treballant dur cada dia per millorar la meva defensa. No poso cap pressió sobre mi mateix com al seu fill. Ell sempre em va dir que per aconseguir els meus somnis, He de treballar dur, rebentar el cul, posar tot en les meves habilitats i artesanies.

 

“Només he tingut 10 baralles en tota la meva carrera (2 professional, 8 amateur) i jo estic intentant posar-se al dia amb tots els altres que tenen molta més experiència en el ring. Però tinc al meu pare parlant a cau d'orella amb l'assessorament de tota la seva experiència i un gran entrenador a Orlando. La gent va a veure grans diferències pel que fa als meus dos primeres baralles. Estic a punt per aquesta baralla!”

 

El pare d'Antonio està molt entusiasmat amb la tercera baralla professional del seu fill. “Aquesta és una sensació increïble per després de la transformació del meu fill en el boxejador que vol ser,” admetre. “Ningú treballa més dur que Júnior. Ha dedicat, centrat i tot això em dóna una sensació real fàcil. Tot el que faig és parlar amb ell per ajudar mentalment. No puc lluitar per ell, però jo li puc orientar, esperant que ell pren els passos adequats. Ell té tot al seu favor – el talent i el cap ben posada. Mai em preocupo per ell ficar-se en problemes. És una raça diferent de combat, el meu major assoliment com un home, i estic molt entusiasmat amb el seu futur en aquest joc.

 
Els Tarvers amb l'entrenador

Jimmy Williams

“Va ser company d'entrenament principal de Keith Thurman per la seva lluita i hi havia un brunzit de les seves sessions d'entrenament. Keith és un dels millors boxejadors joves en el món i Junior li va donar tot el que podia manejar. Li dic Júnior tot el temps que el combat no és el mateix que una baralla. Sparring no aconsegueix vostè va pagar o campionats. Júnior sap que en una lluita que ha de fer el que ell va treballar tan dur al gimnàs. Les lliçons que va aprendre d'espàrring amb Keith van fer júnior més confiança.”

Tarver Jr. s'ha ensenyat a Tampa pel mateix entrenador, 86-anys d'edat Jimmy Williams, qui també entrenat Tarver Sr. quan ell era 12.

 

“Cada baralla és un repte i prova com Antonio treballa el seu camí fins a les escales de boxa,” Cuéllar va comentar. “Amb la seva experiència amateur limitat, Antonio ha hagut d'aprendre a la feina, abarrotar per als desafiaments mentals i físics que es presentaran. Ell és un apassionat i dedicat de forma coherent. Antonio sembla tenir totes les eines per fer un bon centre. Ens posarem grau la seva juliol 11º rendiment i anar d'allà.”

 

Com si Tarver Jr. necessària cap inspiració addicional, ell té només que com un pare a-ser, per primera vegada al setembre. “La data de venciment del meu fill petit és Setembre 17,” afegir. “Això m'ha motivat encara més.”

També vol dir que el 46-anys d'edat, Tarver, Sr. estarà lluitant a finals d'aquest any com un avi, en la seva recerca per convertir-se en el més antic campió mundial de pes pesat en la història de la boxa.

 

“Estic tan feliç de Junior, però esdevenir un avi no em fa sentir vell,” Tarver Sr. conclòs. “Ell és un gat diferent. Li estic evitant cometre els errors que vaig cometre. Ha estat instal·lar durant cinc anys amb la nòvia i ara estan tenint un nadó. No podria estar més feliç. Aquest és un gran moment per a mi. Quan Jo decideixo retirar-me, Et dono la torxa a ell, encara calent, i anem a veure fins on corre amb ella.”

KEITH Thurman

 

“Hi ha molt de què parlar amb aquesta lluita. El fet que és en ESPN, la gent va a sintonitzar i tindré l'oportunitat de fer més fans i ampliar la meva base de fans. És una altra audició per a una audiència nacional.

 

“Depenent de com es fa, la seva acció puja. Una impressionant victòria encara, que aconsegueix un veritable salt. He treballat dur per arribar fins aquí i vull ser espectacular.

 

“Crec que l'emoció vindrà per mi mateix quan entro a la sorra i sento els aplaudiments del públic local. He rebut molt amor i respecte per part dels diferents llocs que he lluitat en, però ha estat un llarg temps des que he estat a casa.

 

“Hi ha un munt de persones que han seguit la meva carrera que no han estat capaços de veure, viure en acció. El fet que em vaig a portar aquesta lluita a casa, Jo només penso quan Winky Wright ho va fer; Jeff Lacy va fer; Antonio Tarver va fer; que és una gran cosa per a mi emocionalment per poder portar de classe mundial de boxa de tornada a Tampa Bay.

 

“Estic desitjant que arribi a una gran actuació i espero que pugui portar contínuament aquestes grans baralles de nou a Tampa Bay.”

 

LUIS COLLAZO

 

“El meu preparació era per 15 Rondes pel que estem disposats a arribar fins al final. Sóc aquí per al llarg termini.

 

“Estic tractant d'aconseguir la victòria de nou. Qualsevol cosa pot passar en aquest esport, un cop pot acabar tot, així que ja veurem el que passa en dissabte.

 

“Amb la baralla Khan em va mostrar a mi mateix quanta passió encara tinc per l'esport. Aquesta baralla aquí, tothom va a veure el vell Luis Collazo nou.

 

“Sóc el tipus de persona que no li agrada planificar el futur. Jo sóc el més feble i m'encanta ser el més feble. He estat el més feble de tota la vida. M'inspira per sortir i demostrar als aficionats que tot és possible, no només en el ring, però en la vida.

 

“Vaig a donar-ho tot, aquest és el tipus de persona que sóc. No he vingut aquí per full, així que espero que està preparat.”

 

TONY HARRISON

 

“Nelson té un gran cor. No ho estic subestimant. Vaig a entrar en plena forma. Vaig fer coses que normalment no faig a la formació. Vaig ser nedar durant aquest campament. Sabem el que ens enfrontem.

 

“Ell té el cor d'un campió. Ho han fet caure abans, però ell torna i comença a barallar de nou, així que sabem que ens enfrontem un veritable lluitador dur.

 

“He estat a punt per fer front a un tipus d'aquest calibre per un llarg temps. He estat espàrring Gennady Golovkin, Andy Lee, K9, i Luis Collazo. He estat amb campions abans que fins i tot es va convertir en professional. He estat a la millor i vaig fer el que havia de fer en la seva contra.

 

“Tots aquests tipus són cares conegudes per a mi. Luis Collazo i Willie. Aquests nois han estat baix a Kronk per a mi entrenar. He estat en aquest escenari i tenia aquestes guerres al gimnàs ia, així que estic a punt.

 

“Se sent molt bé per a Detroit a estar de tornada en el mapa i obtenir el reconeixement que ha estat absent durant molts anys. Si puc ser el d'ajudar a la propera generació de lluitadors de Detroit i que sigui més fàcil per a ells per trencar així sigui.”

 

WILLIE NELSON

 

“El camp d'entrenament ha estat excel·lent. He discutit amb una gran quantitat de diferents tipus, especialment els que eren més pesats que jo i m'han donat un gran treball.

 

“De Tony sap com utilitzar la seva altura en el ring, però sóc un lluitador d'altura pel que no serà capaç de fer això en la meva contra. Ell és un colpejador, això és el que tracta de fer.

 

“Canalitzo qualsevol part de la conversa que fa. Estic acte-motivat i sé el que he de fer per aquí. No puc enfadar-me amb els seus pallassades perquè això no fa res per a mi.

 

“Vull ser un dels boxejadors reeixits d'Ohio que realment fa alguna cosa. Vull deixar la meva empremta no només en la boxa d'Ohio, però període boxa.

 

“Aquesta no és la baralla més dura de la meva carrera, però és el repte més difícil, va en contra d'un jove, noi invicte. Totes les meves baralles han estat difícils, així que estic acostumat a això.

 

“Estic emocionat d'estar en una gran targeta d'aquest tipus, però estic acostumat a això ara. Els llums no arriben a mi. PBC ha estat molt bo per a l'esport, perquè tothom pot sintonitzar a aquestes baralles.”

 

Antonio Tarver JR.

 

“He estat entrenant amb el campió del món Keith Thurman i vaig sostenir la meva pròpia allà. Ha estat una gran experiència.

 

“És una cosa bella a estar lluitant en el meu estat natal. Estic beneït d'estar lluitant en el Sun Dome.

 

“El meu pare sempre té la raó en la meva oïda. Sempre en mi sobre la defensa i la protecció de mi mateix en el ring.

 

“Sóc un esquerrà que és un batedor ràpid. Puc colpejar dur cop i contra. Crec en mi mateix com tot el paquet.”
