Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
TAMPA (Me 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. Zolenpik Anthony “Majik 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 Ko) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, kanpe Jose Cortez nan wonn nan dezyèm. 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,” li eksplike. “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.
“Nan bag an,” TARVER di, “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.”
“Menm jan yon papa,” Tarver Sr., note, “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,” li te admèt. “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, nan kou, 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. te ajoute. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

Tarver la 27-zan ap fè fas Julian Valerio (2-3) nan yon kat-wonn bout koupe-televizyon sou la Premier boksè chanpyon sou ESPN montre, intitulé pa Keith Thurmanvs. Luis Collazo, nan USF Solèy Dome.
TARVER Jr. te grandi-up nan ki tou pre Daytona Beach ak li te fèk vin tabli nan Tampa kote papa l 'tou ap viv. Yo te tou de ki resevwa fòmasyon nan Miami ak Orlando Cuellar. “Sa a batay vle di yon anpil m ',” TARVER Jr. di. “Mwen se yon jenn ti gason, moute-ak-ap vini avyon de gè ki gen gwo opòtinite pou al goumen Samdi swa nan devan fanmi ak zanmi. Li nan sèlman yon kondwi de-èdtan soti nan Daytona Beach. Mwen ta renmen remèsye ESPN, Al Haymon ak tout lòt moun ki te ede jwenn m 'sou kat sa a. Mwen sparred avè l ' (Valerio) de zan de sa. Li pwobableman te pran sa a batay paske yo te ke sesyon bòks, men mwen te gen yon gwo sipriz pou l ' Samdi lannwit.”
Gen anpil Les ak inconvénients gen “Majik Man” jan Bondye Papa nou, espesyalman lè li se toujou yon aktif, avyon de gè mond-klas. “Mwen se moun pwòp mwen,” eksplike Tarver Jr. ki moun ki te yon jwè baskètbòl kolèj jouk li te pwouve yo papa l 'ke li te konplètman dedye a boksè. “Li nan plis kalkile; Mwen se pi vit paske mwen se yon middleweight jinyò ak li se yon pwa loud. Li se yon jeni defans ak mwen k ap travay di chak jou amelyore defans mwen. Mwen pa mete nenpòt presyon sou tèt mwen tankou pitit gason l '. Li toujou te di m 'reyalize rèv mwen, Mwen te gen travay di, jarèt bou m ', mete l 'tout nan ladrès m' ak atizana.
“Mwen te sèlman te gen 10 batay nan tout karyè mwen (2 pwofesyonèl, 8 amatè) ak mwen ap eseye kenbe-up ak tout lòt moun ki gen pi plis eksperyans nan bag la. Men, mwen gen papa m 'pale nan zòrèy mwen ak konsèy nan men tout nan eksperyans li ak yon gwo antrenè nan Orlando. Moun yo pral wè diferans ki genyen gwo nan de premye batay m '. Mwen se pare pou sa a batay!”
Papa Antonio a se eksite sou twazyèm batay pwofesyonèl pitit gason l 'lan. “Sa a se yon santiman enkwayab sa yo transfòmasyon pitit gason m 'la nan avyon de gè a li vle yo dwe,” li te admèt. “Okenn moun pa ap travay pi rèd pase Junior. Li te dedye, konsantre ak nan tout sa ki ban m 'yon reyèl santi fasil. Tout sa mwen fè se pale ak li ede l 'mantalman. Mwen pa ka goumen pou l ', men mwen ka gid l ', espere li te pran pwogrè yo dwa. Li te tout bagay pral pou l ' – talan ak tèt li sou tou dwat. Mwen pa janm enkyete sou l 'ap resevwa nan pwoblèm. Li nan yon lot diferan nan avyon de gè, akonplisman pi gran mwen kòm yon moun, ak mwen se vrèman eksite sou lavni l 'nan jwèt sa a.
“Li te patnè Keith Thurman nan bòks prensipal pou batay l ', li te gen yon Buzz soti nan sesyon bòks yo. Keith se youn nan pi cho avyon de gè yo jenn nan mond lan ak Junior te ba l 'tout bagay li te kapab okipe. Sa m'ap di Junior tout tan tout tan an ki bòks se pa menm bagay la kòm yon batay. Bòks pa jwenn ou peye oswa chanpyona. Junior konnen ke nan yon batay li te gen yo fè sa li te travay sa difisil sou nan jimnastik la. Leson yo li te aprann soti nan bòks ak Keith fè Junior plis konfyans.” TARVER Jr. ki te anseye nan Tampa pa antrenè a menm, 86-ane-fin vye granmoun Jimmy Williams, ki moun ki tou ki resevwa fòmasyon Tarver Sr. lè li te 12.
“Chak batay se yon defi ak tès kòm Antonio travay wout li moute nechèl la boksè,” Cuellar kòmante. “Ki gen eksperyans limite l 'amatè, Antonio te gen yo aprann nan travay la, bachotaj pou defi yo mantal ak fizik ke yo pral prezante. Li nan pasyone ak dedye sou yon baz ki konsistan. Antonio sanble yo gen tout zouti yo fè yon kouri bon. Nou pral klas jiyè l ' 11th pèfòmans ak ale nan la.”
Kòm si Tarver Jr. bezwen nenpòt ki enspirasyon anplis, li te gen jis ki jan yon papa a-yo la pou premye fwa sa a septanm. “Dat la akòz pou ti gason ti kras mwen an se Septanm 17,” li te ajoute. “Sa te motive m 'menm plis.”
Li vle di tou ke 46-zan Tarver, Sr. pral goumen pita nan ane sa a kòm yon granpapa, sou demand li yo vin chanpyon nan pi ansyen mond pwa loud nan boksè istwa.
“Mwen se konsa kè kontan pou Junior men vin tounen yon granpapa pa fè m 'santi fin vye granmoun,” TARVER Sr. konkli. “Li nan yon chat diferan. Mwen anpeche l 'soti nan fè erè sa yo mwen te fè. Li te te rete pou senk ane ak mennaj li e kounye a, yo ap gen yon ti bebe. Mwen pa ta ka pi kontan. Sa se yon gwo tan pou m '. Lè Mwen deside pran retrèt ou, Mwen pral lage flanbo a l ', toujou cho, e kite yo wè ki jan lwen li kouri ak li.”
