Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, povedal Pondelok:
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, tiež. 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. Bol som 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, energie a zručnosť. Bohužiaľ, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Áno! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, jo, 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) Kovář. 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, tiež, 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 a ja som bol 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 (Lopatky) 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.”

21-ročný Scardina pochádza z Rozzano, mesto menej ako 40,000 ľudia v provincii Miláno. Začal boxovať v 2008 vo veku 16, v stopách svojho strýka, ktorý bol boxer v tej dobe, rovnako ako vzor Daniele je.
Scardina, ktorý mal 56 amatérske záchvaty, chytené najvyššie ocenenie v mnohých talianskych turnajoch vrátane Rovereto Národná, Národný Silver Glove, a dva národné Golden rukavice. On tiež vyhral bronzovú medailu na medzinárodnej akcii.
V 2013, on boxoval za Italia Thunder Boxing Team na World Series of Boxing, vyhral svoj jediný zápas proti nemeckému súperovi.
Scardina najprv chytil Seip pozornosť na svetovo preslávené 5th St. Gym v Miami Beach, pôvodne otvorený v roku 1950 podľa Chris Dundee, a domov nespočetných majstrov sveta trénovali tam, vrátane Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrana, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston a Willie Pep. Bohatá tradícia pokračuje v novej 5th St. Telocvičňa, sa nachádza blízko u 1434 Alton Street, kde špičkoví bojovníci z celého sveta, ako je Bernard Hopkins Stále vlak.
“Prvýkrát som ho videl na tréningu 5th St. Gym a vyzeral ako typický amatér,” Seip vysvetlil. “Hodil široké údery a nevedel, ako sa hodiť dobrý úder. Tenisky Guy Laieta a Dino Spencer začal pracovať s ním a teraz používať jeho dosah, bojovať na diaľku, a hádzanie kombinácia popíchnutí a háčiky. Je to vášnivý box, počúvanie a každý deň učenia. Daniele má dobrú rýchlosť ručné a elektrické. Je to pekný chalan, tiež. Videl som niečo, čo v ňom, nehmotný majetok, a rozhodol sa ho podpísať.
“Dino je vlastník, ktorý vytvoril prvotriedny posilňovňu s veľkými zápasenie príležitostí v atmosfére predstavovať toľko talentovaných bojovníkov, ktorí naozaj tlačiť seba. Už je jasné, že Danielle tam zlepšil jeho tréning zručností. Je to dlhá, rýchly a výkonný. Jeho pracovná morálka je neuveriteľné; je to prvýkrát v posilňovni, posledná odísť. Nemôžete ublížiť toho chlapca, či už. Všetci veríme, že má veľmi svetlú budúcnosť.”
Na rozdiel od bojovníkov z Ruska a bývalého sovietskeho bloku krajín, rovnako ako tí z Latinskej Ameriky, ktorí prichádzajú do Spojených štátov stanoviť ich profesionálnej boxerskej kariéry, Talianske narodený bojovníci zriedkavo rovnakou cestou ako Scardina, ktorý sa presťahoval do Miami v minulom roku, a spí na podlahe bytu svojho brata.
Osamelý Talian narodený majster sveta, ktorý bojoval profesionálne v Amerike Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KO), kto bol WBC / WBA middleweight majster v 1979-1980. Antuofermo, hoci, sa s rodinou presťahoval do Brooklynu z Apúlie, Taliansko, keď mu bolo 17 a on sa naučil, ako sa boxovať v Amerike.
“Vždy som chcel byť majstrom v Amerike,” Scardina povedal. “To je americký sen pre mňa. Myslím, že budem mať veľkú šancu v tejto krajine, aby bol najväčší boxer môžem byť so správnym pomôcť. John Seip je správna manažér pre mňa, pretože sa domnieva, že môžeme majstrovstvá sveta spoločne ako tím.”
Scardina Obľúbené boxerky sú Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux a Miguel Cotto. “Pracujem na dokonalosti ako vonkajšie bojovník a na hlavnej náručí užšiu,” Scardina pridaný. Bojujem, aby sa stal majstrom sveta.”
Scardina sa očakáva, že svoj profesionálny debut tento máji alebo júni.
