Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
 TAMPA (Maig 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. Olímpic Antonio “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, parada Jose Cortez en la segona ronda. 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.
“En el ring,” Tarver va dir, “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.”
“Com a pare,” Tarver Sr., conegut, “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,” admetre. “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, per descomptat, 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. addicional. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

Straight Rights and Straight A’s: The Joey Veazey Story
Per publicació immediata
Baltimore, Maryland (Maig 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.”
Desafortunadament, some standout athletes believe their talents supersede performing in the classroom. This has led to high schools and colleges warning or suspending players if their grades didn’t improve.
On the contrary, there are those who take great pride in starring as an athlete and student; such as 17-year-old Joey Veazey.
Known by his moniker of “Bazooka Joe” Veazey is multi-time amateur champion and was ranked internationally. Dijousnit, Veazey fights Chris Perkins for the East Coast junior middleweight championship at Michael’s Eighth Ave in Glen Burnie, MD as a featured fighter on a card promoted by Baltimore Boxing.
The card serves as a tribute to Murray “Bushwacker” Smith Sr., father of Baltimore Boxing’s Jake Smith. Tickets purchased in advance start at $25, seients reservats són $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. Les portes obren a 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100º match, Veazy is a big ticket seller in the Baltimore area and regularly draws large crowds when he enters the squared circle. To Veazey however, he is most proud of his accomplishments outside of the ring, where he’s an honor student finishing up his senior year at Northeast High School.
A l'agost, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Al mateix temps, 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. Finalment, 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.”
Herrero, 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,"Va dir Smith. “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.”
En la baralla co-estel·lar, Upton Boxing’s Tyrell Boyd and 2016 Golden Gloves champion Aston Sykes will do battle for the Maryland State Middleweight title. Boyd is a former East Coast Middleweight titlist and looks for his second belt while Sykes is riding a wave of confidence having won the Golden Gloves in one of America’s toughest regions.
Popular Clayton Frazier faces Elvin Rodriguez in a battle between boxers from the Baltimore Boxing Gym. Frazier, who has only two fights, is a crowd favorite and hopes to claim local bragging rights in what Smith calls the “Battle of Baltimore Boxing.”
Former basketball star Stefon “Showtime” McRay and future pro standout Donald Wallace will also appear on the card in separae bouts.

PROVIDENCE (Octubre 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrio “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) sempre ha volgut fer des que es va lligar els cordons d'un parell de guants de nen és a la caixa i per això, després d'un tram de 16 mesos d'inactivitat, totalment aliens a la lesió, la 2008 U.S. Olympian torna al ring Octubre 17 per encapçalar un espectacle no televisada al Mohegan Sun Arena de Uncasville, Connecticut.
Una miríada de raons va mantenir el 27-anys d'edat, Andrade fora del ring i sense una verificació de moneder des de juny 14, 2014, quan va destruir No. 1 contendent obligatori Brian “El Lleó” Rose (25-1-1, 7 KOs) en set rondes, impressionant guanyar per HBO en el que va resultar ser la seva primera i única Organització Mundial de Boxa (OMB) defensa del títol. Andrade, lluitant fora de la Providència, originalment capturat el títol vacant de l'OMB de les 154 lliures novembre 9, 2013, També va sortir a l'aire en HBO, derrotar prèviament invicte 2004 U.S. Olímpic Vanes “Malson” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 KOs) per mitjà d'una decisió de 12 assalts.
OBERT DE L'ENTRENAMENT DE MITJANS – PÚBLIC CONVIDAT
Demetrius Andrade durà a terme i l'entrenament dels mitjans de comunicació oberts aquest dijous nit (8 p.m. I Començar) en Sis Grans de l'Acadèmia, 816 Douglas Ave. a Providence.
Durant el seu passat 16 mesos frustrants, Andrade ha estat desposseït del seu títol de l'OMB, essencialment prohibit lluitant a la televisió, caigut de totes les qualificacions, i injustament qualificat com un boxejador que parla d'un gran joc, però rebutja baralles difícils.
“Em sento alleujat i agraït d'estar lluitant de nou, especialment prop de casa i davant dels meus fans,” Andrade va dir sobre la seva octubre. 17 lluitar contra l'oponent argentí Darío Fabian “El Gall” Pucheta (20-2, 11 KOs), un ex campió de Sud-americana, en l'esdeveniment principal a 10 assalts pel títol vacant de l'OMB & 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 Rodríguez, el que hauria estat una bona baralla a Connecticut perquè aquí és on ve i jo visc a Rhode Island, però, Suposo, el seu poble no volien que em lluitar. Han de ser el estalviant per a una altra persona.
“Així, Necessitava prendre aquesta lluita (off-TV vs. un oponent no classificat) per tornar a l'acció, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. M'ha decebut a perdre-, per descomptat, 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 Mayweather Floyd'S sabates com a propera superestrella de la boxa.”
Durant el seu llarg parèntesi de l'anell, Andrade va cridar Mayweather, Saül “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, i altres lluitadors de classe mundial en va, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, 1 2007 Campionats del Món guanyador de la medalla d'or i el quatre vegades campió amateur nacional, ha presentat una demanda en contra de Roc Nation, al·legant que la companyia de promoció, propietat de Jay-Z, incomplert la promesa de pagar-li $550,000.
“L'única baralla que he rebutjat estava en contra de (Jermall)Charlo,” Andrade va explicar, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, en el ring i comercialització savi. Vaig decidir no prendre aquesta baralla (Desembre. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) però, quan les coses no succeeixen amb Roc Nation, He signat un contracte per lluitar Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). En lloc, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Mate) Korobov lluita (per títol vacant de pes mitjà de l'OMB) fins després que es va anunciar. Mai vaig tenir la intenció de pujar al pes mitjà, en aquest temps, a ell ni a ningú lluitar. Després, Fins i tot em vaig oferir per lluitar (Antonio) Mundine en el vostre jardí (Austràlia) de diners a curt, només per mantenir la meva títol, però això no va funcionar bé. Suposo que això és part d'aquest joc.”
Andrade entrenat tres o quatre dies a la setmana, fins i tot sense una data per lluitar, i ell és més fort que mai, física i mentalment. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, prometedora per fer una declaració important Octubre. 17 i més enllà.
“Vaig a fer una declaració que sóc el millor lluitador de les 154 lliures al món i demostrar per què ningú vol lluitar amb mi,” Andrade concluded. “Vaig a mostrar totes les meves habilitats amb el meu octubre 17º performance. I’m looking ahead, no en el passat.”
Les entrades estan a la venda, que van des de $200.00 a $25.00 (sense comptar comissions). Truqui 401.261.3755 per a la compra d'entrades, així com per obtenir informació especial d'autobusos.
