Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, dito Segunda-feira:
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, muito. 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, demais."
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. Eu estava 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, poder e habilidade. Infelizmente, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Sim! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, sim, 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) Ferreiro. 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 (Campeão WBA) 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, muito, 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 e eu 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) – Empresário de boxe Veteran John Seip assinou altamente condecorado boxeador amador italiano Daniel Mark Scardina para um contrato exclusivo de gestão.
Seip é mais conhecido por orientador Peter “Chocolate Kid” Quillin a Organização Mundial de Boxe (WBO) título dos médios do mundo. O nativo de New Yorker também gerencia subindo britânico super-médios Corcel “O Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 KOs).
The 21-year-old Scardina vem de Rozzano, uma cidade de menos de 40,000 de pessoas na Província de Milão. Ele começou o boxe em 2008 com a idade de 16, seguindo os passos de seu tio, que foi um boxeador, nesse momento, bem como modelo de Daniele.
Scardina, que tinha 56 lutas amadoras, honras melhores capturados em inúmeros torneios italianas, incluindo o National Rovereto, Luva de Prata Nacional, e duas Luvas de Ouro Nacionais. Ele também ganhou uma medalha de bronze em evento internacional.
Em 2013, ele encaixotado para o Boxing Team Italia Thunder in the World Series of Boxing, ganhar seu único jogo contra um adversário alemão.
Scardina primeiro chamou a atenção de Seip no mundialmente famoso 5th St. Academia em Miami Beach, originalmente inaugurado em 1950 por Chris Dundee, e na casa de campeões mundiais incontáveis ter treinado lá, incluindo Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston e Willie Pep. A rica tradição continua com o novo 5th St. Academia, localizado nas proximidades, 1434 Alton Rua, onde os melhores lutadores de todo o mundo, tais como Bernard Hopkins ainda treinar.
“A primeira vez que o vi treinando na 5th St. Ginásio e ele parecia um amador típico,” Seip explicou. “Ele jogou socos de largura e não sabia como jogar um bom jab. Formadores Guy Laieta e Dino Spencer comecei a trabalhar com ele, e agora ele está usando seu alcance, combate a uma distância, e jogando combinações de jabs e ganchos. Ele é apaixonado por boxe, ouvir e aprender todos os dias. Daniele tem boa velocidade da mão e poder. Ele é um garoto bonito, muito. Eu vi algo nele, intangíveis, e decidiu contratá-lo.
“Dino é um proprietário que criou um top-notch ginásio com grandes oportunidades de sparring em uma atmosfera que caracterizam tantos lutadores talentosos que realmente empurrar uns aos outros. É já evidente que Danielle melhorou seu treinamento de habilidades lá. Ele é longo, rápido e poderoso. Sua ética de trabalho é incrível; ele é o primeiro no ginásio, último a sair. Você não pode ferir o garoto, ou. Nós todos acreditamos que ele tem um futuro muito brilhante.”
Ao contrário de combatentes da Rússia e antigos países do bloco soviético, bem como aqueles da América Latina que vêm para os Estados Unidos para estabelecer suas carreiras de boxe profissional, Lutadores nascidos de italianos raramente têm seguido o mesmo caminho que Scardina, que se mudou para Miami no ano passado e dorme no chão do apartamento de seu irmão.
O solitário campeão do mundo de origem italiana que lutou profissionalmente nos Estados Unidos é Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KOs), quem foi o campeão dos médios do WBC / WBA em 1979-1980. Antuofermo, embora, se mudou com sua família para o Brooklyn de Puglia, Itália, quando ele era 17 e ele aprendeu a caixa na América.
“Eu sempre quis ser um campeão da América,” Scardina disse. “Esse é o sonho americano para mim. Eu acho que eu vou ter uma grande oportunidade neste país ser o maior boxeador eu posso estar com a ajuda certa. John Seip é o gerente certo para mim, porque ele acredita que pudermos o campeonato mundial juntos como uma equipe.”
Pugilistas favoritos de Scardina são Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux e Miguel Cotto. “Eu estou trabalhando em perfeição como um lutador fora e principais meus braços mais próximos,” Scardina adicionado. Estou lutando para se tornar campeão do mundo.”
Scardina é esperado para fazer sua estréia em maio ou junho.
