Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
 TAMPA (Maijs 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 Neatrodas ASV. Olimpietis 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, apstāšanās Jose Cortez otrajā kārtā. 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.
“Gredzenu,” Tarver teica, “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.”
“Kā tēvs,” Tarver Sr., atzīmēts, “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,” Viņš atzina,. “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, protams, 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. pievienotās. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

For Immediate relīze
Baltimore, MD (Maijs 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.”

Tajā pašā laikā, 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. Gala rezultātā, 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.”
Stiprs sitiens, 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,"Sacīja Smits. “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.”

PROVIDENCE (Oktobris 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 Kos) ir kādreiz gribēja darīt, jo viņš pirmo reizi savītas up cimdus kā bērns, ir kastē, un tas ir iemesls, kāpēc, Pēc 16 mēnešu stiept neaktivitātes, pilnīgi nesaistīti ar traumu, the 2008 Neatrodas ASV. Olimpietis atgriežas ringā Oktobris 17 uz virves ne-televīzijas šovu Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville, Connecticut.
Neskaitāmas iemeslu saglabājusi 27 gadus vecā Andrade no gredzena un bez maku pārbaude kopš jūnija 14, 2014, kad viņš iznīcina Nr. 1 obligāta sāncensis Brian “The Lion” Rose (25-1-1, 7 Kos) septiņās kārtās, iespaidīgi uzvarot HBO kādā izrādījās viņa pirmā un vienīgā Pasaules Boksa organizācijas (WBO) virsraksts aizstāvēšana.

Olimpietis Vānes “Nightmare” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 Kos) ar lēmumu 12 kārtu.
OPEN MEDIA WORKOUT – PUBLIC AICINĀTA
Demetrius Andrade rīkos un atvērts mediju treniņu šo ceturtdien nakts (8 p.m. UN sākums) at Big Six akadēmijā, 816 Douglas Ave. Providence.
Viņa pagātnes laikā 16 nomākta mēnešiem, Andrade ir uzlauzta viņa WBO titulu, būtībā aizliegts cīnās par tīkla televīzijas, samazinājās no visiem vērtējumiem, un negodīgi firmas kā cīnītājs, kurš runā liels spēle, bet pagriežas uz leju grūts cīņas.
“Es esmu atvieglots un pateicīgs, ka cīnās atkal, īpaši tuvu mājām un priekšā maniem faniem,” Andrade teica par viņa Okt. 17 cīņa pret Argentīnas pretinieku Dario Fabian “Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Kos), bijušais Dienvidamerikas čempions, no 10-apaļas galveno notikumu par vakanto 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, kas būtu bijis labs cīņa Connecticut, jo tas ir, ja viņš nāk no, un es dzīvoju Rhode Island, bet, I guess, viņa cilvēki negribēja viņam cīnīties ar mani. Tiem jābūt glābšanas viņam par kādu citu.
“Tik, Man vajadzēja veikt šo cīņu (off-TV vs. pretinieks nav ierindota) nokļūt atpakaļ darbībā, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Es biju vīlies to zaudēt, protams, 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 s'S kurpes kā boksa nākamais superzvaigzni.”
Viņa ilgi hiāts no gredzena laikā, Andrade iesaucās Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, un citi pasaules klases cīnītāji bez rezultātiem, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, a 2007 Pasaules čempionāts zelta medaļu ieguvējs un četru laiks valsts amatieru čempions, ir iesniedzis tiesā prasību pret Roc Nation, apgalvojot reklāmas kompānija, pieder Jay-Z, reneged par solījumu samaksāt viņam $550,000.
“Vienīgā cīņa es kādreiz noraidīja bija pret (Jermall)Charlo,” Andrade paskaidroja, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, ar gredzenu un tirdzniecības gudrs. Es izvēlējos ne veikt šo cīņu (Decembris. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) bet, kad lietas nenotika ar Roc Nation, Es parakstīja līgumu, lai cīnītos Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Vietā, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov cīņa (par vakanto WBO titulu middleweight) līdz brīdim, kad tas tika paziņots. Man nekad nav paredzēts, lai pārvietotos līdz middleweight, toreiz, lai cīnītos ar viņu, vai kāds cits. Vēlāk, Es pat piedāvāja cīnīties (Anthony) Mundine savā piemājas (Austrālija) uz īsu naudu, tikai, lai saglabātu savu titulu, bet tas nestrādāja vai nu. Es domāju, ka tas viss ir daļa no šīs spēles.”
Andrade apmācīti trīs vai četras dienas nedēļā, pat bez datuma cīnīties, un viņš ir spēcīgāka nekā jebkad agrāk, fiziski un garīgi. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, daudzsološs, lai sniegtu būtisku paziņojumu Oktobris. 17 un tālāk.
“Es esmu gatavojas nākt klajā ar paziņojumu, ka es esmu labākais 154 mārciņu cīnītājs pasaulē un parādīt, kāpēc neviens negrib cīnīties ar mani,” Andrade concluded. “Es esmu gatavojas, lai parādītu visas manas prasmes ar manu oktobrī 17th performance. I’m looking ahead, ne agrāk.”
