Plant City, FL (Marts 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,"Sagde 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. I november 2017, he returned to the ring after a year and a half layoff to outpoint Ariel Vasquez. Hidtil, 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!"
På Lørdag, Marts 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

Efterlad en kommentar
TAMPA (Maj 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 US. Olympian 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 KOS) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, standsning Jose Cortez i anden runde. 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.
“I ringen,” Tarver sagde, “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.”
“Som en far,” Tarver Sr., bemærkede, “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,” han indrømmede. “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, selvfølgelig, 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. tilføjet. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

LAKELAND, FLORIDA (Maj 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 ofSøndag night’s main event on Premier Boxing Champions: Den næste runde påBounce 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 sekunder inde i runde.
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 Olympic Bronze medaljevinder, 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.
Co-main event af aftenen sav 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 og 77-75 for Cruz to give him the split decision.
Ved indledningen anfald af telecast, junior-letvægt 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 fordel i slag landede. Dommerne’ scoringer var 77-75 og 78-74 twice for Galarza.
Her er hvad de krigere havde at sige Søndag nat:
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 i morgen. 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. Lige nu, 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, Jeg vil være klar.”
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.”

Antonio Tarver, Jr. Fighting Ud af sin fars skygge

Efterlad en kommentar

Udsigten til at stå over for Julian Valerio denne lørdag nat i Tampa

Antonio Tarver, Jr. kan knække ligesom sin far

 

TAMPA (Juli 9, 2015) – Junior mellemvægt udsigten Antonio Tarver, Jr. (2-0, 2 KOS), søn af fem-tiden verdensmester Anthony “Magic Man” Tarver, fortsætter med at kæmpe ud af hans berømte fars skygge denne lørdag nat i Tampa.

 

Den 27-årige Tarver ansigter Julian Valerio (2-3) i en fire-round Bout off-tv på Premier Boxing Champions på ESPN show, hovednavn ved Keith Thurmanvs. Luis Collazo, på USF Sun Dome.

 

Tarver Jr. voksede op i nærliggende Daytona Beach og han for nylig flyttet i Tampa, hvor hans far også bor. De har begge trænet i Miami med Orlando Cuellar. “Denne kamp betyder meget for mig,” Tarver Jr. sagde. “Jeg er en ung, up-and-coming fighter, der har den store mulighed for at kæmpe Lørdag nat foran familie og venner. Det er kun to timers kørsel fra Daytona Beach. Jeg vil gerne takke ESPN, Al HAYMON og alle andre, der hjalp med at få mig på dette kort. Jeg sparred med ham (Valerio) to år siden. Han tog sandsynligvis denne kamp på grund af denne sparring session, men jeg har fået en stor overraskelse for ham Lørdag nat.”

 
Den fightin’ Tarvers

Der er mange fordele og ulemper, der har “Magic Man” som din far, især når han er stadig en aktiv, verdensklasse fighter. “Jeg er min egen mand,” forklarede Tarver Jr. som var en basketball kollegium spiller, indtil han viste sig til sin far, at han var fuldt dedikeret til boksning. “Han er mere beregnede; Jeg er hurtigere, fordi jeg er en junior mellemvægt og han er en sværvægter. Han er en defensiv geni og jeg arbejder hårdt hver dag for at forbedre mit forsvar. Jeg kan ikke lægge noget pres på mig selv som sin søn. Han fortalte mig altid til at nå mine drømme, Jeg skal arbejde hårdt, buste min røv, sætte det hele ind i mine evner og håndværk.

 

“Jeg har kun haft 10 kampe i hele min karriere (2 professionelle, 8 Amatør) og jeg forsøger at fange op med alle andre, der har meget mere erfaring i ringen. Men jeg har min far taler i mit øre med rådgivning fra alle af hans erfaring og en stor træner i Orlando. Folk kommer til at se store forskelle fra mine første to kampe. Jeg er klar til denne kamp!”

 

Antonios far er begejstret for sin søns tredje professionelle kamp. “Dette er et utroligt følelse at følge min søns transformation ind i fighter han ønsker at være,” han indrømmede. “Ingen arbejder hårdere end Junior. Han er dedikeret, fokuseret og alt dette giver mig en rigtig let følelse. Alt hvad jeg gør, er at tale med ham om at hjælpe ham mentalt. Jeg kan ikke kæmpe for ham, men jeg kan guide ham, håber han tager de rigtige skridt. Han har alt går for ham – talent og hovedet på lige. Jeg har aldrig bekymre sig om ham at komme i problemer. Han er en anden race af fighter, min største bedrift som en mand, og jeg er virkelig begejstret for hans fremtid i dette spil.

Jimmy Williams

“Han var Keith Thurman vigtigste sparringspartner for sin kamp, ​​og der var en brummer fra deres sparring sessioner. Keith er en af ​​de hotteste unge krigere i verden, og Junior gav ham alt, hvad han kunne håndtere. Jeg fortæller Junior al den tid, sparring er ikke det samme som en kamp. Sparring ikke får du betalt eller mesterskaber. Junior ved, at han i en kamp har at gøre, hvad han har arbejdet så hårdt på i gymnastiksalen. De erfaringer, han lært af sparring med Keith gjort Junior mere sikker.”

Tarver Jr. er blevet undervist i Tampa af den samme træner, 86-årige Jimmy Williams, der også uddannet Tarver Sr. da han var 12.

 

“Hver kamp er en udfordring og prøve som Antonio arbejder sig op boksning stigen,” Cuellar kommenterede. “Med sin begrænsede amatør erfaring, Antonio har måttet lære på jobbet, proppe for de mentale og fysiske udfordringer, som vil blive præsenteret. Han er passioneret og dedikeret på et konsistent grundlag. Antonio synes at have alle de værktøjer til at gøre et godt løb. Vi får lønklasse hans juli 11th ydeevne og gå derfra.”

 

Som om Tarver Jr. behov yderligere inspiration, har han bare, at som en far til-være for første gang i september. “Forfaldsdatoen for min lille dreng er September 17,” tilføjede han. “Det har motiveret mig endnu mere.”

Det betyder også, at 46-årige Tarver, Sr. vil kæmpe senere i år som en bedstefar, på hans søgen efter at blive den ældste verden sværvægter mester i boksning historie.

 

“Jeg er så glad for Junior, men at blive en bedstefar ikke gøre mig gammel,” Tarver Sr. indgået. “Han er en anden kat. Jeg forhindrer ham i at gøre de fejl jeg lavede. Han er blevet afgjort i fem år med sin kæreste, og nu er de have en baby. Jeg kunne ikke være lykkeligere. Dette er et godt tidspunkt for mig. Hvornår Jeg beslutter at gå på pension, Jeg vil aflevere faklen til ham, stadig varmt, og lad os se, hvor langt han kører med det.”

KEITH THURMAN

 

“Der er en masse at tale om med denne kamp. Det faktum, at det er på ESPN, folk kommer til at tune ind og jeg får mulighed for at lave flere fans og udvide min fanskare. Det er en anden audition til et nationalt publikum.

 

“Afhængigt af, hvordan du gør, dit lager går op. En imponerende sejr selvom, der får du en rigtig spring. Jeg har arbejdet hårdt for at komme her, og jeg ønsker at være spektakulære.

 

“Jeg tror, ​​at spændingen vil komme for mig selv, når jeg indtaster i arenaen, og jeg hører jubel af hjemby crowd. Jeg har fået en masse kærlighed og respekt fra forskellige steder, jeg har kæmpet på, men det har været en lang tid siden jeg har været tilbage hjem.

 

“Der er en masse mennesker, der har fulgt min karriere, som ikke har været i stand til at se mig, bor i aktion. Det faktum, at jeg bringer denne kamp hjem, Jeg tror bare på, når Winky Wright gjorde det; Jeff Lacy gjorde det; Antonio Tarver gjorde det; det er en stor ting for mig følelsesmæssigt at være i stand til at bringe verdensklasse boksning tilbage til Tampa Bay.

 

“Jeg ser frem til en stor præstation og forhåbentlig kan vi løbende bringe disse store kampe tilbage til Tampa Bay.”

 

Luis Collazo

 

“Min præparat var for 15 runder, så vi er klar til at stå distancen. Jeg er her for det lange træk.

 

“Jeg forsøger at trække ud af forstyrret igen. Alt kan ske i denne sport, en dorn kan ende alt, så vi vil se, hvad der sker på lørdag.

 

“Med Khan kampen viste jeg mig selv, hvor meget lidenskab jeg har stadig for sporten. Denne kamp her, alle vil se den gamle Luis Collazo igen.

 

“Jeg er den type fyr, der ikke kan lide at planlægge. Jeg er underdog, og jeg elsker at være underdog. Jeg har været underdog hele mit liv. Det inspirerer mig til at gå ud og vise fansene, at alt er muligt ikke bare i ringen, men i livet.

 

“Jeg har tænkt mig at give det min alle, det er den type person, jeg er. Jeg er ikke kommet her for handout, så jeg håber, at han er parat.”

 

TONY HARRISON

 

“Nelsons fik en masse hjerte. Jeg er ikke undervurderer ham. Jeg kommer i i topform. Jeg gjorde ting, jeg normalt ikke gør i uddannelse. Jeg gik svømning for denne lejr. Vi ved, hvad vi er oppe imod.

 

“Han har hjertet af en mester. Han er blevet slået ned, før, men han kommer tilbage op og begynder at kæmpe igen, så vi ved, at vi er oppe imod en rigtig hård fighter.

 

“Jeg har været klar til at stå over for en fyr af denne kaliber i lang tid. Jeg har været sparring Gennady Golovkin, Andy Lee, K9, og Luis Collazo. Jeg har været i med mestre, før jeg selv blev professionel. Jeg har været i med de bedste og gjorde, hvad jeg skulle gøre mod dem.

 

“Alle disse fyre er velkendte ansigter til mig. Luis Collazo og Willie. Disse fyre har været ned til Kronk at sparre mig. Jeg har været på dette tidspunkt og havde disse krige i gymnastiksalen allerede, så jeg er klar.

 

“Det føles fantastisk til Detroit for at være tilbage på kortet og få den anerkendelse, der er været forsvundet i mange år. Hvis jeg kan være den ene til at hjælpe den næste generation af Detroit krigere og gøre det lettere for dem at bryde igennem, så må det være.”

 

Willie Nelson

 

“Træningslejr har været fremragende. Jeg har sparred med en masse forskellige fyre, især dem, der var tungere end mig og har givet mig nogle store arbejde.

 

“Tony forstår at bruge sin højde i ringen, men jeg er en høj fighter, så han ikke vil være i stand til at gøre det imod mig. Han er en puncher, det er, hvad han forsøger at gøre.

 

“Jeg kanalisere nogen af ​​de taler, han gør. Jeg er selv-motiverede og jeg ved, hvad jeg skal gøre derude. Jeg kan ikke få vred på hans narrestreger, fordi det gør intet for mig.

 

“Jeg ønsker at være en af ​​de succesfulde boksere fra Ohio, der virkelig gør noget. Jeg vil gerne gøre min mark i ikke bare Ohio boksning, men boksning periode.

 

“Dette er ikke den hårdeste kamp i min karriere, men det er den hårdeste udfordring, går op mod en ung, ubesejret fyr. Alle mine kampe har været hård, så jeg er vant til det.

 

“Jeg er spændt på at være på sådan en stor kort, men jeg er vant til det nu. Lysene får ikke mig. PBC har været stor for sporten, fordi alle kan tune-in til disse kampe.”

 

ANTONIO Tarver JR.

 

“Jeg har trænet med verdensmesteren Keith Thurman og jeg holdt min egen derinde. Det har været en stor oplevelse.

 

“Det er en smuk ting at kæmpe i mit hjemland. Jeg er velsignet at kæmpe på Sun Dome.

 

“Min far har altid ret i mit øre. Altid på mig om forsvaret og beskytte mig selv i ringen.

 

“Jeg er en southpaw der er en hurtig hitter. Jeg kan ramme hårdt og counter slag. Jeg tror på mig selv som hele pakken.”
