Энтони “Magic хүн” Tarver Credits USA Boxing for giving him Structure that carried him to top
Колорадо Спрингс, Тойргийн. (May 21, 2018) – Future Hall of Famer Энтони “Magic хүн” Tarver (31-6-1, 1 Сүлжээний Холболт, 22 Kos) has just about done it all as a boxer having been an Olympic medal winner and world champion as an amateur, along with capturing five major light heavyweight world titles as a professional, as well as a pair of Ring magazine’s top honors, and four other world championships in two different divisions.
“I credit USA Boxing for giving me structure for the first time in my life,” Tarver тайлбарлав. “Everything was scheduled; curfew, eating, сургалт, sleep….бүх зүйл! I then understood that I had to be accountable for everything I did. I had talent, but I wasn’t structured, and that was bigger than me. I had to adjust to authority. My determination took off, giving me support I never had before. I went on to make speaking engagements and get sponsors. I broke barriers. I’ve been the best at every level that I fought at in the world.”
Tarver was a highly decorated amateur who had an amazing 158-12 бичлэг. He is the only boxer to capture gold medals at World Amateur Championships, U.S. National Championships and Pan-American Games in the same year (1995). The Orlando, Florida-born southpaw won a bronze medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, losing in the quarterfinals to future world champion Vassiliy Jirov, who Tarver had defeated in the semifinals of the 1995 World Amateur Championships. Tarver also won top honors at the 1994 National Golden Gloves Tournament and 1995 World Championships Challenge.
“I went on a winning roll in 1995 and went into the Olympics in rare form,” Tarver гэж хэлсэн. “And that’s why I was favored to win a gold medal. I was hitting him (Jirov), the same guy I’d beaten in the World Championships, but no points were registering for me. I had a good second round, but I was down three points, so I threw my game plan away in the third round. I felt I had to do more and got away from my style: counter punching, not getting hit, and being patient. I thought I had won and so did a lot of people. I made up for that, Хэдийгээр, with a gold-medal professional career.
“I had been faced with a decision about going pro after I was beaten in the ’92 Olympic Trials. I decided to stay in the amateurs, despite not having any guarantees about making the 1996 U.S. Олимпийн багийн. I sacrificed four years of my pro career, which is why I turned pro at a relatively late age (27). I was determined when I found out the 1996 Olympics were in Atlanta. I think I made the right decision and I have no regrets.
“I had always dreamed of going to the Olympics. I saw Roy Jones, JR – we first fought each other at 13 – get robbed of gold. I was watching that on television, jumped up, and knew where I was heading: The Olympics! We both suffered horrible decisions in the Olympics and I knew then that our careers would be parallel.
Tarver made his pro debut February 18, 1997 Филадельфид, зогсоох Joaquin Garcia (4-0) Хоёр дахь шатанд.
“I was an Olympic bronze medal winner but when I first turned pro,” Tarver added, “I didn’t have a promoter or manager. Nobody was willing to take a chance on me until I was 4-0, when I signed by first contract with Russell Peltz. I felt nobody could beat me.”
Nobody was able to beat Tarver, at least until his 17-р pro fight, үед Эрик Хардингdefeated Tarver by way of a 12-round unanimous decision.
Хоёр жилийн дараа, Tarver embarked on a 12-fight murderer’s row stretch during the next seven years, arguably establishing him as the No. 1 Дэлхийн фунт-г фунт сөнөөгч. It all started with a successful rematch with Harding (21-1-1) in Indianapolis, when Tarver dropped Harding in the fourth round, plus twice more in the fifth, on his way to a fifth-round technical knockout to avenge his lone pro loss to that date.
Next up for Tarver was a showdown with 44-3 Монтелл Гриффин for the WBC and IBF 175-pound division titles, which were vacated by Рой Жонс Jr., Дөрөвдүгээр 26, 2003 Mashantucket нь Foxwoods Resort Casino нь, Коннектикут. In his first world title shot as a pro, Tarver pitched a complete shutout, decking Griffin in the first and last rounds to shut out his opponent by scores of 120-103 бүх гурван шүүгч нь.
Долоон сарын дараа, Гэсэн хэдий ч, Tarver lost a controversial 12-round majority decision and his WBC crown (he was stripped of his IBF belt) to WBA Super and IBO champion Jones in Las Vegas. The following May at the venue, Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Хэдийгээр, Tarver became the first to knockout Jones, putting him to sleep in the second round.
Tarver then became a mainstream celebrity, appearing on late-night shows and covers ofRing magazine and KO Magazine, and co-hosting an ESPN Баасан Шөнийн тулаан telecast.
“I was robbed in my first fight with Roy,” Tarver insisted. “They called my knockout of Roy the greatest upset in light heavyweight history. Why didn’t they see me coming? I had beaten everybody ranked ahead of me. Roy was the pound-4-pound king, but he knew. I may not be the fastest, the quickest, or the strongest, but I doubt that there’s ever been a pro fighter to enter the ring with a higher IQ than me. Even at my age, I still feel that way today.”
The WBC stripped Tarver of his title in 2004 for fighting IBF champion Глен Жонсон (41-9-2) instead of the WBC mandatory challenger. Johnson, Сонирхолтой нь, was stripped of his IBF title for the same reason right before his fight in Los Angeles with Tarver. Tarver and Johnson fought for Ring and IBO titles and Johnson won a 12-round split decision.
In their rematch six months later Memphis-д, Tarver won a unanimous 12-round decision over Johnson to capture the IBO strap. Tarver completed his trilogy with Jones, retaining his IBO title with a unanimous 12-round decision (117-111, 116-112, 116-112).
Tarver lost a 12-round decision June 10, 2006 in Atlantic City to Бернард Хопкинс for the IBO championship, which was soon vacated and recaptured by Tarver with a 12-round majority decision over Elvir Muriqi (34-3).
Tarver traveled to Australia in 2011 to challenge IBO cruiserweight champion and local hero Данни, ногоон, who retired after nine rounds, as Tarver added another title belt to his display case.
Арванхоёрдугаар сард 2013 in Temecula, Калифорни, Tarver knocked out Jonathon Banks (29-2-1) in the seventh round, and Tarver’s last fight was a 12-round split decision draw with former world champion Стив Cunningham (28-7) Newark-д, Нью-Жерси.
Онд 2006, Tarver starred as Mason “The Line” Dixon, the heavyweight champion in the film,Rocky Balboa.
Tarver, as he marches towards his planned history-making performance by becoming the oldest heavyweight world champion of all-time, also has served as a color commentator in boxing for Spike TV and Showtime.
Өнөөдөр, насандаа 49, Tarver is still technically active, and he also trains his son and undefeated middleweight prospect, Антонио Tarver, JR. (5-0 (4 Kos), where they live in Tampa, Флорида.
“I was older than the rest of the boxers on the U.S. Olympic Team and the U.S. National Team,” Tarver хэлэв. “What a team! Guys like Диего Corrales болон Zab Иуда didn’t make that Olympic Team. I gave Флойд Mayweather, JR. his first moniker, ‘Pretty Boy Floyd’, until he changed it years later to ‘Money’. We had a bond on that Olympic team with Floyd, Фернандо Варгас, David Reid, Zarim Raheem and the others.”
Although at the age of 49 he is still an active fighter, Tarver occassionally does some color commentating and he trains pro and amateur boxers at a gym in Tampa, Флорида. “I’m not retired as a fighter,” Tarver commented. “I started a program, ‘Train with The Champ’, and it includes room rent and training. I like to say it’s an AirB&B for boxing. I train my son (5-0 Эмэгтэй дунд Антонио Tarver, JR. Тэнд. I learned a lot from my early days, training in Orlando with my coach, Lou Harris, and I reunited with Жимми Williams, хэн юм 90 одоо, training my son together in Tampa.
Tarver also is an advocate of the relatively new “АНУ-ын бокс төгсөгчдийн холбоо,” which was created to champion a lifelong, mutually beneficial relations between USA Boxing and its alumni, –боксчид, албан тушаалтнууд, дасгалжуулагчид, боксын хорхойтнууд — the Alumni Association connects generations of champions, боксын ирээдүйн аваргуудад урам зориг хайрлаж, буцааж өгөх болно, болон бөгж гарч.
“I’m going online to join,” Tarver гэж хэлсэн. “I’m looking forward to attending an Alumni Association meeting, Оны зургадугаар сар 24-30 during the Junior Olympics in Charleston, Баруун Виржиниа.
Everything that goes around, эргэн ирдэг, in USA Boxing. Just ask future Hall of Fame candidate Antonio Tarver.

Boxing trainer Orlando Cuellar goes Back to the Future at 5th St. Заал
Miami (Аравдугаар сар 26, 2016) — Internationally renowned boxing trainer Орландо Cuellar has come full circle, right back to the famed 5-р St. Gym in South Beach, where he once visited as a teenager to learn and now trains fighters out of six days a week.
Born in Havana, Куба улс, Cuellar’s family resettled in Miami when he was three with Orlando living there through high school. Нь сонирхогчийн боксчин хувьд, Cuellar vividly remembers watching boxers at 5-р St. Gym such as Cassius Clay, Willie Pastrano, Vinnie Curto болон Florentino Fernandez, as well as legendary trainers, brothers Angelo болон Крис живжээ.
“I watched and learned, picking up as much as much as I could,” Cuellar гэв. “Одоо, I find myself working out of the 5-р St. Gym for the past six weeks. It’s been an incredible experience. Өдөр бүр, you never know who is going to walk through the doors there. It’s been one of the best boxing gyms in the world for more than 50 жил. From the days dating back to Мухаммед Али, fighters have been attracted to this gym because of its rich history and great sparring, as well as to the area with South Beach’s restaurants, clubs and beach. The warm, humid weather also makes it easier for fighters to lose weight running and training.
“(Owner) Dino Спенсер is carrying on the 5-р St. Gym’s tradition. Everyday I’m there is exciting for me. Mixed ethnic groups train there and it’s a magnet for talent. There’s sparring three days a week – I call it Spar-a-rama – and everybody’s welcome to challenge themselves. The sparring is better than a lot of TV fights.
“5-р St. Gym trainer Guy Laieta had been trying to convince me to join the team for the last five years. I spoke to Dino on several occasions, expressing my desire to train fighters out of the 5-р St. Заал. He said, ‘Let’s do it.’ The success of the 5-р St. Gym today has a lot to do with ownership. Dino has a passion for boxing and he is very hospitable, which trickles down to his staff and fighters. Good vibes all of the time!”
Cuellar left for Las Vegas in 1976 болон, after he realized that being a boxer wasn’t in his best interest, he started training fighters there in 1981 out of Johnny Garcia’s Gym. A year later, he shifted his base Brooklyn and started training fighters out of another boxing icon, Gleason-ийн заал. Онд 2000, he resettled in Miami.
Best known as world light heavyweight champion the head trainer of Глен Жонсон, Cuellar also worked with future champions such as Nicolas Walters, Rances Barthelemy болон Erslandy Lara, мөн түүнчлэн Luis Franco, Аарон Дэвис болон Хуан Карлос Gomez, to name a few of the more notables. Өнөөдөр, he’s the chief second for several top fighters including Антонио Tarver.
Recognized throughout boxing as a superior teacher, Cuellar’s success is mostly attributed to his training of fighters on an individual basis, focusing on their personal needs rather than giving all fighters the same instructions and attention.
“Each fighter needs personal and specific work to complement their God-given talents,” Cuellar explained. “You can’t teach all fighters the same way. I specialize on what I call old school meets new school. Old school was upfront and personal to go 15 удаа, new school is about throwing more punches, more foot movement and fighting from the outside. I teach doffense: defense + offense. Punches aren’t vitamins, none should be taken. Boxing is little more than a battle of reflexes; one fighters versus another, but the real trick is how the fighter uses his reflexes. I teach my fighters how to turn the ring apron into a minefield.”
Boxing has played a huge role in Cuellar’s life. Back in the 5-р St. Gym is just another chapter in his unique life.
“I live through my fighters,” Cuellar concluded. “Every victory is my proudest moment. There are no big or little victories, every win is a happy moment because of all the hard work and sacrifices me and my fighter made during training camp.”
Orlando Cuellar is thrilled to have gone back to the future.

Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, JR. establishing his own identity in ring
Tampa (May 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. Олимпод Энтони “Magic хүн” Tarver – unbeaten junior middleweight prospect Антонио 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, Флорида, зогсоох Jose Cortez Хоёр дахь шатанд. 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, Жимми 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.
“Бөгж нь,” Tarver гэж хэлсэн, “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.”
“Эцэг хүний хувьд,” Tarver Sr., тэмдэглэжээ, “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,” тэр хүлээн зөвшөөрсөн. “My father set this stage for me and my name is, Антонио 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, Мэдээж, 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 Рой Жонс Jr., are slower than junior middleweights, who are much quicker like Флойд 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. нэмсэн. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”
