Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
TAMPA (Maj 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. Olimpijski Antonije “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, zaustavljanje Jose Cortez u drugom krugu. 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,” objasnio je. “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.
“U ring,” Tarver je rekao, “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.”
“Kao otac,” Tarver Sr., napomenuti, “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,” on je priznao. “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, naravno, 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. dodao. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

PROVIDENCE (Oktobar 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) ikada želeo da uradi, jer je on prvi začinjena se par rukavica, kao klinac je kutiju i to je razlog zašto, nakon 16 mjeseci stretch neaktivnosti, potpuno nevezano za koljeno, u 2008 U.S. Olympian se vraća u ring Oktobar 17 da naslov ne-televizijskom šou na Mohegan Sun Areni u Uncasville, Konektikat.
A bezbroj razloga zadržao 27-godišnji Andrade iz ringa i bez provjera torbicu od juna 14, 2014, kada je uništio Ne. 1 obavezno kandidat Brian “The Lion” Rose (25-1-1, 7 KOs) u sedam kola, impresivno pobjede na HBO-u ono što se ispostavilo da je njegov prvi i jedini svet Biciklizam organizacije (WBO) odbranu titule. Andrade, bori se Providence, izvorno zarobljen upražnjeno naslov WBO 154-pound novembar 9, 2013, emitovan na HBO, porazivši prethodno neporažen 2004 U.S. Olimpijski Vanes “Noćna mora” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 KOs) putem odluke 12-okrugli.
Otvorene medije WORKOUT – JAVNI POZVANI
Demetrius Andrade će održati i otvorene medije trening u četvrtak noć (8 poslije podne. I start) Big Six akademiji, 816 Douglas Ave. u Providence.
Za vrijeme njegove prošlosti 16 frustrirajuće mjeseci, Andrade je lišena titule WBO, u suštini je zabranjeno bore na mreži televiziji, pao sa svih ocjena, i nepravedno brendiran kao borac koji govori velika igra, ali odbila teške borbe.
“Laknulo mi je i zahvalan da se ponovo bori, posebno u neposrednoj blizini kuće i pred mojim fanovima,” Andrade je rekao o svom oktobar. 17 boriti protiv protivnika argentinska Dario Fabian “The Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 KOs), bivši šampion Južne Amerike, u 10-okrugli glavni događaj za upražnjeno 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, koja bi bila dobra borba u Connecticutu, jer je to odakle dolazi i živim u Rhode Island, ali, Pretpostavljam, njegovi ljudi ne žele ga da se bori mene. Oni se moraju ga štedi za nekog drugog.
“Tako, Trebalo mi je da se ova borba (off-TV vs. ne-rangirani protivnik) da se vratim u akciju, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Bio sam razočaran da ga izgubim, naravno, 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 jeCipele 'e kao sljedeći superstar boksa.”
Tokom svoje duge pauze od ringa, Andrade prozvala Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, i drugi borci svjetske klase bez rezultata, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, a 2007 World Championships dobitnik zlatne medalje i četiri puta nacionalni prvak amater, je podnio tužbu protiv Roc Nation, tvrdeći promotivne društvo, vlasništvu Jay-Z, pogazila obećanje da mu plati $550,000.
“Jedina borba koju sam ikada odbio je protiv (Jermall)Charlo,” Objasnio Andrade, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, u ring i marketing-mudar. Izabrao sam da to ne shvatim borba (Decembar. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) ali, kada stvari nije dogodilo s Roc Nation, Potpisao sam ugovor da se borim Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Umjesto toga, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov borba (za upražnjeno WBO naslov u srednjoj kategoriji) dok nakon što je objavljeno. Nikada nisam namijenjena za kretanje do srednjoj, u to vrijeme, da se bori protiv njega, ili bilo ko drugi. Kasnije, Čak sam ponudio da se borim (Antonije) Mundine u svom dvorištu (Australija) za kratki novca, samo da bi moju titulu, ali to nije išlo ni. Mislim da je to sve dio ove igre.”
Andrade trenirao tri ili četiri dana u tjednu, čak i bez datuma za borbu, i on je jača nego ikad, fizički i psihički. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, obećavajući da veliki izjavu Oktobar. 17 i šire.
“Ja ću dati izjavu da sam najbolji 154-pound borac na svijetu i pokazati zašto niko ne želi da se bori protiv mene,” Andrade concluded. “Ja ću predstaviti sve svoje znanje sa mojim oktobar 17th performance. I’m looking ahead, ne u prošlosti.”
