Plant City, FL (Marzu 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,"Qal 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. F'Novembru 2017, he returned to the ring after a year and a half layoff to outpoint Ariel Vasquez. S'issa, 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!"
Fuq IS-SIBT, Marzu 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

Ħalli kumment
TAMPA (Mejju 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. 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, waqfien Jose Cortez fit-tieni rawnd. 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.
“Fil-ċirku,” Tarver qal, “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.”
“Bħala missier,” Tarver Sr., innota, “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,” huwa ammetta. “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, tal-kors, 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. miżjud. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

LAKELAND, FLORIDA (Mejju 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 ofIl-Ħadd night’s main event on Premier Boxing Champions: L-rawnd li jmiss fuqBounce 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 sekondi fis-rawnd.
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 Medalist Olimpiku Bronż, 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 u 77-75 for Cruz to give him the split decision.
Fil-bout ftuħ tal-telecast, featherweight super 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. L-imħallfin’ punteġġi kienu 77-75 u 78-74 twice for Galarza.
Hawnhekk huwa dak li l-ġellieda kellhom jgħidu Il-Ħadd lejl:
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 għada. 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. Dritt issa, 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, I ser tkun lesta.”
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.”

I just think under better circumstances that I would have won those fights. I know a lot of good stuff was said about me on the way up and I still think that I am championship material. I just have not had that opportunity.”

Huwa probabbilment ħa din il-ġlieda minħabba dik is-sessjoni sparring, imma stajt ltqajna sorpriża kbira għalih IS-SIBT lejl.”

 
L fightin’ Tarvers

Hemm ħafna vantaġġi u liżvantaġġi li jkollhom “Magic Man” kif missierek, speċjalment meta huwa għadu attiv, ta 'klassi dinjija ġlied. “Jien bniedem tiegħi stess,” spjegat Tarver Jr. li kien player kulleġġ basketball sakemm hu ppruvat li missieru li kien kompletament dedikati għall-boxing. “Hu aktar ikkalkulat; Jien aktar malajr minħabba jien middleweight junior u hu tal heavyweight. Hu ġenju difensiva u jien jaħdmu iebes kuljum biex itejbu d-difiża tiegħi. I ma jagħmlu l-ebda pressjoni fuq lili nnifsi bħala ibnu. Hu dejjem told me biex tikseb ħolm tiegħi, Stajt ltqajna biex jaħdmu iebes, bust butt tiegħi, tqegħid kollha fis ħiliet tiegħi u snajja.

 

“I kellna biss 10 tissielet fil-karriera kollha tiegħi (2 professjonali, 8 dilettanti) u jien jippruvaw jaqbdu-up ma 'kulħadd li jkollu ħafna aktar esperjenza fil-ċirku. Imma jien missier tiegħi jitkellem fil-widnejn tiegħi ma 'parir minn dak kollu esperjenza tiegħu u trainer kbira fil Orlando. In-nies ser tara differenzi kbar mill-ewwel żewġ tissielet tiegħi. Jien lest għal din il-ġlieda!”

 

Missier Antonio huwa eċċitati dwar ġlieda professjonali tielet tifel tiegħu. “Dan huwa sentiment unbelievable li ġejja trasformazzjoni tifel tiegħi fil-ġlied iridx ikun,” huwa ammetta. “Ħadd ma jaħdem aktar diffiċli milli Junior. Hu ddedikata, iffokat u kollha ta 'li tagħti me sensazzjoni faċli reali. All I tagħmel huwa kellem lilu biex tgħinu mentalment. I ma jistgħux ġlieda għalih, imma I jistgħu jiggwidaw lilu, bit-tama hu jieħu l-passi dritt. Huwa kollox għaddej għalih – talent u l-kap tiegħu fuq straight. I qatt ma joqogħdu jinkwetaw dwar lilu jkollna fl-inkwiet. Hu razza differenti tal-ġlied, tlestija akbar tiegħi bħala bniedem, u jien verament eċċitati dwar il-futur tiegħu f'dan il-logħba.

 
Il Tarvers ma coach

Jimmy Williams

“Huwa kien sieħeb sparring prinċipali Keith Thurman għall-ġlieda tiegħu u kien hemm buzz minn sessjonijiet sparring tagħhom. Keith huwa wieħed mill-ġellieda żgħażagħ sħun fid-dinja u Junior tah kollox hu tista 'timmaniġġja. I tell Junior il-ħin kollu li sparring mhuwiex l-istess bħal ġlieda. Sparring ma inti tikseb imħallas jew kampjonati. Junior jaf li fil-ġlieda huwa għandu jagħmel dak li tant ħadmu iebes fuq fil-gym. Il-lezzjonijiet li tgħallmu mill sparring ma 'Keith magħmula Junior aktar kunfidenti.”

Tarver Jr. ġie mgħallem fil tampa mill-istess coach, 86-il sena qodma Jimmy Williams, li wkoll mħarrġa Tarver Sr. meta kien 12.

 

“Kull ġlieda hija sfida u test kif Antonio jaħdem mod tiegħu l-sellum boxing,” Cuellar ikkummenta. “Bl-esperjenza dilettanti tiegħu limitat, Antonio kellu jitgħallmu fuq ix-xogħol, cramming għall-isfidi mentali u fiżiċi li se jiġu ppreżentati. Hu passjonat u dedikati fuq bażi konsistenti. Antonio jidher li l-għodda kollha biex tagħmel run tajba. Aħna ser grad Lulju tiegħu 11th prestazzjoni u jmorru minn hemm.”

 

Peress li jekk Tarver Jr. meħtieġa xi ispirazzjoni addizzjonali, huwa għandu biss li bħala missier iridu jiġu għall-ewwel darba din Settembru. “Id-data dovuta għal ftit boy tiegħi huwa Settembru 17,” żied jgħid. “Li motivati ​​lili saħansitra aktar.”

Dan ifisser ukoll li Tarver 46-il sena, Sr. se jkun ġlieda kontra aktar tard din is-sena bħala grandfather, fuq tfittxija tiegħu biex isiru l-eqdem dinja champion heavyweight fl-istorja boxing.

 

“Jien hekk kuntenti għall Junior iżda ssir grandfather ma jagħmlu me jħossu qodma,” Tarver Sr. konkluż. “Hu qattus differenti. Jien twaqqfu milli jagħmlu l-iżbalji I magħmula. Hu kien kostanti għal ħames snin ma ħabiba tiegħu u issa dawn qed jkollhom tarbija. I ma setax jiġi kuntenti. Dan huwa żmien tajjeb ħafna għalija. Meta I do jiddeċiedu li jirtiraw, I ser idejn il-torċa lilu, għadu sħun, u ejja ara kemm hu runs magħha.”

“Hemm ħafna nies li segwew il-karriera tiegħi li ma kinux kapaċi biex tara lili, jgħixu fl-azzjoni. Il-fatt li jien jġibu din id-dar ġlieda, I biss jaħsbu dwar meta Winky Wright ma kien; Jeff Lacy ma kien; Antonio Tarver ma kien; hija ħaġa kbira għalija emozzjonalment biex tkun tista 'tressaq' klassi dinjija boxing lura għall tampa Bay.

“Jien it-tip ta 'Guy li ma jkunx jixtieq li tippjana għal quddiem. Jien l-underdog u I imħabba li l-underdog. Stajt kien il-underdog ħajja kollha tiegħi. Hija tispira lili biex tmur hemmhekk u juru l-fannijiet li xejn huwa possibbli mhux biss fiċ-ċirku, iżda fil-ħajja.

“Hu ltqajna l-qalba ta 'champion. Hu kien knocked down qabel, imma hu gets back-up u jibda ġlieda kontra darb'oħra, hekk nafu aħna qed iżid kontrih ġellied iebsa reali.

 

“Stajt ġiet lesti biex jiffaċċjaw Guy ta dan il-kalibru għal żmien twil. I kont qed sparring Gennady Golovkin, Andy Lee, K9, u Luis Collazo. Stajt ġiet ma ċampjins qabel I anke daru pro. Stajt ġiet ma 'l-aħjar u ma dak li suppost kellha tagħmel kontrihom.
