Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, JR. establishing his own identity in ring
 TAMPA (Maio 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. Olímpico 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, parada Jose Cortez na segunda rolda. 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.
“No anel,” Tarver dixo, “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.”
“Como un pai,” Tarver Sr., notado, “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,” el admitiu. “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, claro, 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. engadido. “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
Para Divulgación inmediata
Baltimore, MD (Maio 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.”
Desafortunadamente, 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. O xovesnoite, 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, asentos reservados son $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. As portas abren ás 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100th 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.
En agosto, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Á vez, 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. En definitiva, 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.”
Ferreiro, 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,"Dixo 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.”
Na co-metragem, 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.

Demetrius Andrade para volver outubro. 17 cunha vinganza

MOHEGAN Sun Arena, Uncasville, Connecticut

Providencia (Outubro 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 Kos) sempre quixo facer dende que atou por primeira vez un par de luvas como un neno é a caixa e é por iso que, tras un estiramento de inactividade 16 meses, totalmente alleos á inxuria, o 2008 U.S. Olympian está retornando ao anel Outubro 17 para titular un concerto non televisada en MOHEGAN Sun Area en Uncasville, Connecticut.
Unha miríade de razóns mantivo a 27-year-old Andrade para fóra do arena e sen unha verificación de bolsa desde xuño 14, 2014, cando destruíu Non. 1 candidato obrigatoria Brian “O León” Rose (25-1-1, 7 Kos) en sete roldas, impresionante gañadora na HBO no que resultou ser a súa primeira e única Organización Mundial de Boxeo (WBO) defensa do título. Andrade, loitando fóra da Providencia, orixinalmente conquistou o título WBO £ 154 prazas novembro 9, 2013, tamén foi ao aire na HBO, derrotando o ata entón invicto 2004 U.S. Olímpico Vanes “Pesadelo” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 Kos) por medio dunha decisión 12 redonda.
Adestramento aberto medios – PÚBLICO convidado
Demetrius Andrade vai realizar e adestramento de medios aberta este xoves noite (8 p.m. E comezo) no Big Six Academy, 816 Douglas Ave. en Providence.
Durante o seu pasado 16 frustrantes meses, Andrade foi destituído do seu título WBO, esencialmente prohibidos de loitar na televisión da rede, caeu de todas as cualificacións, e inxustamente marcado como un loitador que fala un gran xogo, pero vira abaixo loitas difíciles.
“Estou aliviado e grata por estar loitando novo, especialmente preto de casa e diante dos meus fans,” Andrade dixo sobre a súa outubro. 17 loitar contra o adversario arxentino Dario Fabian “O Galo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Kos), un ex-campión sudamericano, no evento de 10 rolda principal para a vaga 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 Rodríguez, o que sería unha boa loita en Connecticut, porque é onde vén e eu vivo en Rhode Island, pero, Creo, seu pobo non quería que para loitar comigo. Deben ser salvalo a outra persoa.
“Así, Eu precisaba tomar esta loita (off-TV vs. un opoñente non clasificados) para volver á acción, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Quedei decepcionado ao perdelo, claro, 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 zapatos como próxima estrela do boxeo.”
Durante o seu longo hiato do anel, Andrade chamou Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, e outros loitadores de clase mundial sen éxito, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, un 2007 Campionato Mundial gañador da medalla de ouro e catro veces campión nacional afeccionado, entrou con unha acción contra a Roc Nation, alegando que a empresa de promoción, propiedade de Jay-Z, renegou unha promesa de pagarlle $550,000.
“A única loita que sempre mirando cara abaixo foi contra (Jermall)Charlo,” Andrade explicou, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, no arena e sabio-comercialización. Eu elixiu non tomar esta loita (Decembro. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) pero, cando as cousas non acontecen con Roc Nation, Eu asinei un contrato para loitar Charlo (Xan. 14, 2015). Pola, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov loita (para vago título dos medios WBO) ata despois de que se anunciou. Nunca tiven a intención de moverse para os medios, naquela hora, para loitar con el ou calquera outra persoa. Máis tarde, Eu ata se ofreceu para loitar (Anthony) Mundine no seu curro (Australia) para o diñeiro curto, só para manter o meu título, pero iso non quere traballar fóra. Eu creo que é todo parte deste xogo.”
Andrade adestrou tres ou catro días á semana, mesmo sen unha data para loitar, e é máis forte que nunca, física e mentalmente. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, prometedora para facer unha declaración importante Outubro. 17 e ademais.
“Vou facer unha declaración que eu son o mellor loitador de 154 libras no mundo e amosar por que ninguén quere loitar comigo,” Andrade concluded. “Vou amosar as miñas habilidades coa miña outubro 17th performance. I’m looking ahead, non no pasado.”
Os billetes están á venda, variando desde $200.00 para $25.00 (excluíndo comisións). Chamada 401.261.3755 para mercar billetes, así como para autobuses información especial.
