Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, dit Dilluns:
Demetrius Andrade
Reflections of Muhammad Ali:
“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, massa. Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.
“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.
“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, too.”
About Pros in the Olympics:
“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. Jo era 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, poder i habilitat. Desafortunadament, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Sí! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, si, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”
On the 154-pound division:
“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) Herrero. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.
“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”
On Gennady Golovkin:
“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, massa, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”
Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:
“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 i jo estava 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.
“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. He fought (Vanes) Martirosyan, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”
On returning to the ring:
“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”

MIAMI (Abril 6, 2015) – Gerent de boxa veterà John Seip té signat condecorat boxejador aficionat italià Daniel Marcos Scardina a un contracte exclusiu de gestió.
Seip és el més conegut per guiar Peter “Kid Xocolata” Quillin a l'Organització Mundial de Boxa (OMB) títol mundial de pes mitjà. El natiu de Nova York també gestiona l'augment de pes súper mitjà britànica Corcel “El Semental” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 KOs).
El jugador de 21 anys d'edat, oriünd de Scardina Rozzano, un poble de menys de 40,000 persones a la província de Milà. Ell va començar a boxejar en 2008 a l'edat de 16, seguint els passos del seu oncle que era un boxejador en aquest moment, així com a model a seguir de Daniele.
Scardina, qui va tenir 56 baralles amateur, els màxims honors capturats en nombrosos tornejos italians, entre ells el Nacional de Rovereto, Guants de Plata Nacional, i dos Guants d'Or Nacionals. També va guanyar una medalla de bronze en un esdeveniment internacional.
En 2013, ell en caixa per a l'equip de boxa Itàlia Trueno en la Sèrie Mundial de Boxa, guanyar el seu únic partit davant un rival alemany.
Scardina primer va cridar l'atenció de Seip al mundialment famós 5º St. Gimnàs a Miami Beach, originalment inaugurat el 1950 per Chris Dundee, i la llar d'innombrables campions del món han entrenat allà, incloent Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Durán, Sonny Liston i Willie Pep. La rica tradició continua en el nou 5º St. Gimnàs, situat prop en 1434 Alton carrer, on els millors lluitadors de tot el món, com ara Bernard Hopkins Encara entrenar.
“Vaig veure per primera vegada la formació d'ell en el 5º St. Gimnàs i semblava un aficionat típic,” Seip va explicar. “Ell va llançar cops d'ample i no sabia com llançar un bon jab. Entrenadors Noi Laieta i Dino Spencer va començar a treballar amb ell i ara està utilitzant el seu abast, lluitant a una distància, i llançant combinacions de jabs i ganxos. Ell és un apassionat de boxa, escoltar i aprendre cada dia. Daniele té bona velocitat de mans i el poder. És un noi guapo, massa. Vaig veure alguna cosa en ell, intangibles, i va decidir fitxar-.
“Dino és un propietari que ha creat un gimnàs de primera categoria amb grans oportunitats d'espàrring en un ambient que ofereixen tants lluitadors talentosos que realment empenyen un a l'altre. És ja evident que Danielle ha millorat la seva formació en habilitats no. És llarga, ràpid i potent. El seu ètica de treball és increïble; ell és el primer en el gimnàs, últim a sortir. No pot fer mal a aquest noi, qualsevol dels dos. Tots creiem que té un futur molt brillant.”
A diferència dels combatents procedents de Rússia i ex nacions del bloc soviètic, així com els d'Amèrica Llatina que vénen als Estats Units per establir la seva carrera de boxa professional, Combatents nascuts a Itàlia rares vegades han seguit la mateixa ruta que Scardina, qui es va mudar a Miami l'any passat i dorm al terra de l'apartament del seu germà.
El solitari d'origen italià campió del món que va lluitar professionalment als Estats Units és Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KOs), qui va ser el campió de pes mitjà del CMB / AMB en 1979-1980. Antuofermo, encara que, es va traslladar amb la seva família a Brooklyn de Puglia, Itàlia quan era 17 i va aprendre a boxejar a Amèrica.
“Sempre he volgut ser un campió d'Amèrica,” Scardina dir. “Aquest és el somni americà per a mi. Crec que vaig a tenir una gran oportunitat en aquest país per ser el més gran boxejador que puc estar amb l'ajuda adequada. John Seip és el director adequat per a mi perquè creu que pot el campionat del món junts com un equip.”
Boxadors favorits de Scardina són Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux i Miguel Cotto. “Estic treballant en la perfecció com un lluitador de fora i dels principals braços més estrets,” Scardina afegir. Estic lluitant per convertir-se en campió del món.”
S'espera Scardina per fer el seu debut aquest mes de maig o juny.
