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

Skryf 'n opmerking
TAMPA (Mei 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. Olimpiese 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 Uitklophoue) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, stop Jose Cortez in die tweede ronde. 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.
“In die ring,” Tarver gesê, “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.”
“Soos 'n vader,” Tarver Sr., opgemerk, “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,” hy erken. “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, natuurlik, 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. bygevoeg. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

Straight Rights and Straight A’s: The Joey Veazey Story

Joey Veazey champion.jpg
Vir onmiddellike vrystelling
Baltimore, MD (Mei 3, 2016) – In the movie Coach Carter, Samuel L. Jackson famously quipped to his team of academically struggling players “you are student athletes, student comes first.”
Ongelukkig, some standout athletes believe their talents supersede performing in the classroom. This has led to high schools and colleges warning or suspending players if their grades didn’t improve.
On the contrary, there are those who take great pride in starring as an athlete and student; such as 17-year-old Joey Veazey.
Known by his moniker of “Bazooka Joe” Veazey is multi-time amateur champion and was ranked internationally. Op Donderdagaand, Veazey fights Chris Perkins for the East Coast junior middleweight championship at Michael’s Eighth Ave in Glen Burnie, MD as a featured fighter on a card promoted by Baltimore Boxing.
The card serves as a tribute to Murray “Bushwacker” Smith Sr., father of Baltimore Boxing’s Jake Smith. Kaartjies wat vooraf gekoop is, begin by $25, gereserveerde sitplekke is $35, voorbehou tafels vir tien is $350, $50 VIP sitplekke en $500 VIP tafels van 10 kan gekoop word deur te bel 410-375-9175. Deure open om 6:30 pm en die gevegte begin by 8.
Slated to compete in his 100ste match, Veazy is a big ticket seller in the Baltimore area and regularly draws large crowds when he enters the squared circle. To Veazey however, he is most proud of his accomplishments outside of the ring, where he’s an honor student finishing up his senior year at Northeast High School.
In Augustus, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Op dieselfde tyd, he’ll prepare for his professional debut while still working as a trainer at the Baltimore Boxing Club. Most see being a fighter or student as a full time responsibility, but Veazey believes his work ethic and focus will help him continue to excel in and out of the ring.
"You have to be disciplined in the ring and classroom,” said Veazey. “I know there’s a lot on my plate but I thrive on excelling as a boxer, student and a trainer at the Baltimore Boxing Club. Focusing and paying attention to the task at hand helps keep me dialed in with whatever it is I’m doing at that time. Uiteindelik, my goal is to continue excelling with my academics and win a world title. I believe both are reachable and can become a reality with continued hard work.”
Smith, who has literally watched Veazey grow as a person and fighter during the last decade, has trained hundreds of fighters and considers Bazooka Joe one of his most special.
"Joey could’ve told himself boxing will be his everything because of how successful he’s been but he’s extremely humble and intelligent far beyond his years,"Sê Smith. “He literally goes from one task to another and excels at each of them. Whether he’s a world champion boxer, engineer, computer scientist or all of the above, Joey Veazey epitomizes what it means to be a well-rounded person and I’m very proud of him.”
In die mede-funksie, Upton Boxing’s Tyrell Boyd and 2016 Golden Gloves champion Aston Sykes will do battle for the Maryland State Middleweight title. Boyd is a former East Coast Middleweight titlist and looks for his second belt while Sykes is riding a wave of confidence having won the Golden Gloves in one of America’s toughest regions.
Popular Clayton Frazier faces Elvin Rodriguez in a battle between boxers from the Baltimore Boxing Gym. Frazier, who has only two fights, is a crowd favorite and hopes to claim local bragging rights in what Smith calls the “Battle of Baltimore Boxing.”
Former basketball star Stefon “Showtime” McRay and future pro standout Donald Wallace will also appear on the card in separae bouts.

Onoorwonne Jr. Middelgewigtitel aanspraakmaker, Julian ” J Rock” Williams wil tendens met die hele jaar deur PED toets stel

Skryf 'n opmerking

Philadelphia , PA (Desember 1, 2015)–Onoorwonne Jr. Middelgewigtitel, Julian “J Rock” Williams het in die uitdaging om die wêreld as hy wil die eerste professionele bokser word om getoets te word deur beide USADA gelê om al boksers & Vada lukraak deur die jaar.

Williams (21-0-1, 13 KO se), is tans posisie nommer-7 deur die WBC, Nommer 10 by die WBA, & Nommer 6 deur die IBF, wants to prove to the world that there would be no doubt left in anyone’s mind as he continues his quest to become world champion.

Die 25 jarige boorling van Philadelphia het tot geklim laasgenoemde en het 'n fan gunsteling regoor die wêreld vir sy fan-vriendelike styl waarin hy besit geweldige vaardighede wat hom verdien die bynaam van “Mnr doen dit alles”

Hieronder, Williams beskryf sy visie van hoe en waarom ewekansige toets is nodig by die kampioenskap vlak

Vada vs USADA View

“Ek wil bekend word as die 1 bokser om aktief deel te neem in 365/24/7 Olimpiese Style toets met twee verskillende agentskappe. USADA en Vada. Ek weet nie of ek die beste bokser van hierdie era sal wees, wat nog gesien word. Maar wat ek sal bewys, is dat prestasies is 100% ligitieme. Ek wil die pionier in hierdie wees. Ek is tans op soek na borge om my te help. Ek is nog nie 'n miljoenêr, so geld is 'n probleem nie, maar ek werk tot die punt te kom waar ek voortdurend nie saak kan toets as ek 'n stryd geskeduleer is of nie. Dit sal baie maklik wees vir my, want ek is 100% skoon al die tyd. Nie 'n paar van die tyd. Ek het nie te geniet in drink of rook nie. Ek dink nie dit is realisties om elke enkele vegter toets in die wêreld. Maar ek dink as jy kry ingedeel en / of 'n kampioen, dan moet ons in 'n ewekansige toets swembad. As ek kan kry dit gedoen Ek sal verwelkom enige toekomstige teenstander om deel te neem met my. As my opponent dan weier die ondersteuners en die media kan 'n billike verwysing en gevolgtrekking.”

Laaste Fight

“Ek het eintlik 'n besering my laaste stryd wat ek praat nie oor. Ek het nog nooit van 'n stryd weens 'n besering getrek en ek is nie van plan om my kans te blaas tot wesensverdienste PBC naby my tuisdorp. Toe het ek my verstand het dat ek gaan na regs waai deur my teenstander. Mense besef nie ek het 4 eerste ronde KO se om my loopbaan te begin, sodat ek kan veg soos dat as ek kies. My afrigter het my vertel dat die ander gevegte het die afstand so my stryd nie in dit se geheel kan word getoon. Ek het hom vertel ek gaan 'n 1 ronde oponthoud kry. So dit het my ekstra aansporing om deur te kom in die koppelaar. Cuello was 'n soliede vegter, maar ek het geweet hy is in die moeilikheid uit die 1 paar sekondes. Hy het nie die reflekse of krag om te gaan met my.”

Toekomstige Teenstanders, Post Fight Onderhoud
“Ek is nie so stil soos sommige mense dink. Ek is nie skaam nie. Ek het net nie oor praat nie, want ek het my kant sal verloor. Naby aan 'n stryd Ek is in 'n baie slegte bui en ek kan my kant nie verloor nie. So ek het nie veel praat. Maar ek was in die sone na my fight.I het net behaal 'n groot oorwinning in die voorkant van my mense. Ek is mal Philadelphia, Ek is gebore en hier opgewek. Maar ek is spesifiek uit West Philly en ons het nog nooit 'n wêreldkampioen het. Die beste vegters in Philly is gewoonlik van Noord Philly of Suid Philly. Tyrell Biggs is 'n mentor van my, hy is van die Wes-Philly maar hy het nie die titel te wen. Danny Garcia en Bernard Hopkins is van Noord-Philly…Wanneer die ref gestop die stryd Ek was in die gebied en ek het 'n klomp van die Wes Phily in hy huis…… Maar eerlik het ek geweet ek gaan hom vroeg rook. My afrigter het my vertel ek ouens breek soms deur pluk hulle uitmekaar tegnies. So na die ref gestop die stryd ek almal laat weet wat was up.”

“Austin Trout 'n potensiële teenstander van my wat besig was soos 'n uitsaaier. So ek loop oor en laat hom weet wat op. Toe doen ek my onderhoud almal laat weet dat ek sou gaan na Houston om Jermall Charlo veg vir sy titel. Maar eerlik ek het dit gedoen omdat my afrigter gevra sou ek gevegte met óf man neem. Ek kry nie in wat Ek veg, omdat ek nie omgee. Ek laat hom wat hanteer. Maar hy het vir my gesê hy gevra, so ek het net vokale daaroor. Maar ek is nie meer praat oor wat. Dit raak oud en ek nie meer omgee as ek veg óf man. Ek het geleer dat boks is 'n besigheid. Ek was 'n bietjie gefrustreerd dat ek óf stryd kry nie, maar ek het geleer aanvaarding en ek het aanbeweeg. Ek wil om te konsentreer op wat bereid is om te veg en my volgende datum. Ek wens die ouens die beste van geluk en voortgesette sukses.”

Volgende Datum

“Ek het gedink ek sou veg 4 keer in 2015 maar eerlik dit nie dat die pad na. Ek wou beslis te kry 4 in, want dit hou jou skerp. Elke stryd ek hierdie jaar het ek was skerper en skerper. Plus veg dikwels hou jy naby aan die gewig wat belangrik is. Ek was net vertel dat ek sou gaan in Januarie. So I just finished a two week mini camp just to work on strength. I’m in the heat of camp now with a return date of 16 Januarie of 23 Januarie. Ek sal veg die #1 plek in die IBF die verpligte aanspraakmaker om te veg vir die titel geword. Aan die einde van die dag was ek nog nooit so iets in boks gegee. Ek kan 'n kampioen om vrywillig te verdedig teen my nie. So het deur 'n verpligte, Ek dwing 'n titel geskiet en ek plan op te neem die volle voordeel van dit.”

Demetrius Andrade om terug te keer Oktober. 17 met 'n wraak

Skryf 'n opmerking

 

Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Connecticut

PROVIDENCE (Oktober 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 Uitklophoue) ooit wou doen sedert hy die eerste keer gedraai 'n paar handskoene as 'n kind is om te boks en dit is hoekom, na 'n 16-maande strek van onaktiwiteit, totaal onverwant aan besering, die 2008 U.S. Olimpiese terugkeer na die ring Oktober 17 tot wesensverdienste 'n nie-televisie show by Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
'N magdom van redes het die 27-jarige Andrade uit die ring en sonder 'n beursie tjek sedert Junie 14, 2014, toe hy vernietig Geen. 1 verpligte aanspraakmaker Brian “The Lion” Rose (25-1-1, 7 Uitklophoue) in sewe rondes, indrukwekkend wen op HBO in wat blyk te wees van sy eerste en enigste World Boxing Organization (WBO) titel verdediging. Andrade, veg uit Providence, oorspronklik gevang die vakante WBO 154-pond titel November 9, 2013, ook uitgesaai op HBO, verslaan voorheen onoorwonne 2004 U.S. Olimpiese Wieke “Nagmerrie” Groep Kliniese Farmacologie (33-0-1, 21 Uitklophoue) by wyse van 'n 12-ronde besluit.
OOP MEDIA oefensessie – Publiek genooi
Demetrius Andrade sal hou en oop media oefensessie hierdie Donderdag nag (8 namiddag. EN Begin) by Big Six Academy, 816 Douglas Ave. in Providence.
Tydens sy verlede 16 frustrerend maande, Andrade is gestroop van sy WBO-titel, wese verbied veg op die netwerk televisie, gedaal van alle graderings, en onregverdig gebrandmerk as 'n vegter wat 'n groot wedstryd praat, maar draai af taai gevegte.
“Ek is verlig en dankbaar om weer te veg, veral naby aan die huis en in die voorkant van my fans,” Andrade gesê oor sy Oktober. 17 veg teen die Argentynse teenstander Dario Fabian “Die Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Uitklophoue), 'n voormalige Suid-Amerikaanse kampioen, in die 10-ronde belangrikste gebeurtenis vir die vakante WBO & WBA International super welterweight championships. “It’s good to finally have a date and I’m very happy to get back in the ring. It isn’t the fight I really wanted but Pucheta has a good record and he always comes to fight. I wanted to fight Delvin Rodriguez, wat sou gewees het 'n goeie stryd in Connecticut, want dit is waar hy vandaan kom en ek woon in Rhode Island, maar, Ek dink, sy volk wou nie na my te veg. Hulle moet hom spaar vir iemand anders.
“So, Ek nodig het om hierdie stryd te neem (off-TV vs. 'n nie-posisie opponent) om terug te kry in aksie, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Ek was teleurgesteld om dit te verloor, natuurlik, but that’s not what identifies me. People know who the best fighters are in the world. All I ever wanted was to do was fight. I want to stay active and I believe I can fill Floyd Mayweather seSe skoene as boks se volgende superster.”
Tydens sy lang hiatus van die ring, Andrade uitgeroep Mayweather, Saul “Rumo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, en ander wêreld-klas vegters tevergeefs, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, 'n 2007 Wêreldkampioenskappe goue medalje wenner en vier-time nasionale amateur-kampioen, het 'n regsgeding teen Roc Nasie, beweer die promosie maatskappy, besit word deur Jay-Z, teruggekrabbel op 'n belofte aan hom te betaal $550,000.
“Die enigste stryd wat ek nog ooit afgekeur was teen (Jermall)Charlo,” Andrade verduidelik, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, in die ring en bemarking-wyse. Ek verkies om nie dat die stryd te neem (Desember. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) maar, wanneer dinge nie gebeur het nie met Roc Nasie, Ek het 'n kontrak onderteken Charlo veg (Jan. 14, 2015). Plaas, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov stryd (vir vakante WBO middelgewigtitel) totdat nadat dit aangekondig. Ek het nooit bedoel om te beweeg om middelgewigtitel, op daardie tydstip, aan hom of enigiemand anders te veg. Later, Ek het selfs aangebied om te veg (Anthony) Mundine in sy agterplaas (Australië) vir 'n kort geld, net om my titel te hou, maar dit het nie gewerk nie óf. Ek dink dit is alles deel van die spel.”
Andrade opgelei drie of vier dae 'n week, selfs sonder 'n datum om te veg, en hy is sterker as ooit, fisies en geestelik. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, beloof om 'n groot stelling te maak Oktober. 17 en verder.
“Ek gaan 'n verklaring dat ek die beste 154-pond vegter in die wêreld en wys waarom niemand wil my veg maak,” Andrade concluded. “Ek gaan al my vaardighede ten toon te stel met my Oktober 17ste performance. I’m looking ahead, nie in die verlede.”
Kaartjies is te koop, wat wissel van $200.00 te $25.00 (uitgesonderd gelde). Call 401.261.3755 om kaartjies te koop, sowel as vir die bus spesiale inligting.
