Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
 TAMPA (Mai 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. Olympaidd Anthony “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, rhoi'r gorau i Jose Cortez yn yr ail rownd. 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.
“Yn y cylch,” Dywedodd Tarver, “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.”
“Fel tad,” Tarver Sr., Nodwyd, “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,” cyfaddefodd. “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, wrth gwrs, 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. Ychwanegodd. “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
I'w Ryddhau ar Unwaith
Baltimore, MD (Mai 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.”
Yn anffodus, 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. Ar ddydd Iaugyda'r nos, 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, seddi neilltuedig yn $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. Drysau'n agor am 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100fed 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.
Ym mis Awst, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Ar yr un pryd, 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. Yn y pen draw, 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.”
Smith, 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,"Meddai 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.”
Yn y cyd-nodwedd, 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 (Hydref 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 Kos) erioed wedi eisiau ei wneud ers iddo gyntaf croesir fyny pâr o fenig fel plentyn yw i flwch a dyna pam, ar ôl darn 16-mis o anweithgarwch, hollol amherthnasol i anaf, y 2008 U.S. Olympaidd yn dychwelyd i'r cylch Hydref 17 i pennawd sioe heb ei teledu yn MOHEGAN Sun Arena yn UNCASVILLE, Connecticut.
Mae llu o resymau cadw y 27-mlwydd-oed Andrade allan o'r cylch a heb wiriad pwrs ers mis Mehefin 14, 2014, pan dinistrio Dim. 1 contender gorfodol Brian “Y Llew” Rose (25-1-1, 7 Kos) mewn saith rownd, drawiadol buddugol ar HBO yn yr hyn troi allan i fod yn ei Sefydliad Bocsio Byd cyntaf a'r unig (WBO) amddiffyn teitl. Andrade, ymladd allan o Providence, yn wreiddiol yn dal y teitl WBO 154-punt gwag Tachwedd 9, 2013, ddarlledwyd hefyd ar HBO, gorchfygu unbeaten o'r blaen 2004 U.S. Olympaidd Vanes “Hunllef” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 Kos) drwy benderfyniad 12-rownd.
Workout MEDIA AGORED – GWAHODD CYHOEDD
Bydd Demetrius Andrade cynnal a workout cyfryngau agored Dydd Iau hon nos (8 p.m. A cychwyn) yn Big Six Academi, 816 Douglas Ave. yn Providence.
Yn ystod ei gorffennol 16 mis rhwystredig, Andrade wedi cael ei rhwygwyd ei deitl WBO, gwahardd y bôn rhag ymladd ar deledu rhwydwaith, gostwng o bob ratings, a brandio yn annheg fel ymladdwr sy'n siarad yn gêm fawr, ond yn gwrthod ymladd caled.
“Rwy'n falch ac yn ddiolchgar i fod yn ymladd eto, yn enwedig yn agos i gartref ac o flaen fy gefnogwyr,” Dywedodd Andrade am ei Hydref. 17 ymladd yn erbyn gwrthwynebydd Ariannin Dario Fabian “Y Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Kos), cyn bencampwr De America, yn y prif ddigwyddiad 10-rownd gyfer y WBO wag & 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, a fyddai wedi bod yn ymladd yn dda yn Connecticut oherwydd dyna lle mae'n dod, ac yr wyf yn byw yn Rhode Island, ond, Amcana, Nid oedd ei bobl am iddo ymladd mi. Rhaid iddynt fod yn achub iddo am rywun arall.
“Felly, Roedd angen i mi gymryd y frwydr hon (oddi ar y teledu vs. yn wrthwynebydd heb ei ranked) i fynd yn ôl ar waith, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Yr oeddwn yn siomedig i golli, wrth gwrs, 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 FloydEsgidiau 's fel seren nesaf paffio yn.”
Yn ystod ei bwlch hir oddi wrth y cylch, Andrade galw allan Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, a diffoddwyr gorau yn y byd arall yn ofer, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, a 2007 Pencampwriaethau'r Byd enillydd medal aur a hyrwyddwr amatur cenedlaethol pedwar-amser, wedi ffeilio chyngaws yn erbyn Roc Nation, hawlio'r cwmni hyrwyddo, eiddo i Jay-Z, wedi torri'i haddewid yn addewid i dalu iddo $550,000.
“Yr unig frwydr i mi droi i lawr erioed oedd yn erbyn (Jermall)Charlo,” Esboniodd Andrade, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, yn y cylch a marchnata-ddoeth. Dewisais i beidio â chymryd y frwydr honno (Rhagfyr. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) ond, pan na fydd pethau yn digwydd gyda Roc Nation, Yr wyf yn arwyddo cytundeb i ymladd Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Yn lle hynny, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov frwydr (am deitl WBO canol wag) tan ar ôl iddo gael ei gyhoeddi. Oeddwn yn bwriadu byth i symud i fyny at canol, ar y pryd, i ymladd ag ef neu unrhyw un arall. Yn ddiweddarach, Rwyf hyd yn oed gynnig i ymladd (Anthony) Mundine yn ei gardd gefn (Awstralia) am arian byr, dim ond i gadw fy teitl, ond nid hynny oedd yn gweithio allan naill ai. Amcana dyna i gyd yn rhan o'r gêm hon.”
Andrade hyfforddwyd tri neu bedwar diwrnod yr wythnos, hyd yn oed heb ddyddiad i ymladd, ac y mae yn gryfach nag erioed, yn gorfforol ac yn feddyliol. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, addawol i wneud datganiad o bwys Hydref. 17 a thu hwnt.
“Rydw i'n mynd i wneud datganiad fy mod yr ymladdwr gorau 154-punt yn y byd ac yn dangos pam does neb eisiau i ymladd mi,” Andrade concluded. “Rydw i'n mynd i arddangos fy holl sgiliau gyda fy Hydref 17fed performance. I’m looking ahead, nid yn y gorffennol.”
Mae tocynnau ar werth, yn amrywio o $200.00 i $25.00 (ac eithrio ffioedd). Call 401.261.3755 i brynu tocynnau yn ogystal ag ar gyfer bws gwybodaeth arbennig.
