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, paragem Jose Cortez na segunda rodada. 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 disse, “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 um 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…..tenha cuidado. 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,” ele 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. adicionado. “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 Divulgação Imediata
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.”
Infelizmente, 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. Na quinta feiranoite, 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, assentos reservados são $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 abrem às 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100th partida, 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.
Em Agosto, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Ao mesmo tempo, 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. Em última análise, 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,"Disse 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 retornar outubro. 17 com uma vingança
|
Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, Connecticut

PROVIDÊNCIA (Outubro 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 KOs) tem sempre quis fazer desde que ele atou pela primeira vez um par de luvas como um miúdo é a caixa e é por isso que, após um estiramento de inactividade 16 meses, totalmente alheios à injúria, o 2008 U.S. Olympian está retornando para o anel Outubro 17 para manchete um show não televisionada no Mohegan Sun Arena em Uncasville, Connecticut.
Uma miríade de razões manteve a 27-year-old Andrade para fora do ringue e sem uma verificação de bolsa desde Junho 14, 2014, quando ele destruiu Não. 1 candidato obrigatória Brian “O Leão” Rose (25-1-1, 7 KOs) em sete rodadas, impressionante vencedora na HBO no que acabou por ser sua primeira e única Organização Mundial de Boxe (WBO) defesa do título. Andrade, lutando fora da Providência, originalmente conquistou o título WBO £ 154 vagas novembro 9, 2013, também foi ao ar na HBO, derrotando o até então invicto 2004 U.S. Olímpico Vanes “Pesadelo” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 KOs) por meio de uma decisão 12-redonda.
Treino aberto mídia – PÚBLICO CONVIDADO
Demetrius Andrade vai realizar e treino de mídia aberta nesta quinta-feira noite (8 p.m. E começo) no Big Six Academy, 816 Douglas Ave. em Providence.
Durante seu passado 16 frustrantes meses, Andrade foi destituído de seu título WBO, essencialmente proibidos de lutar na televisão da rede, caiu de todas as classificações, e injustamente marcado como um lutador que fala um grande jogo, mas vira para baixo lutas difíceis.
“Estou aliviado e grato por estar lutando novamente, especialmente perto de casa e na frente dos meus fãs,” Andrade disse sobre sua outubro. 17 lutar contra o adversário argentino Dario Fabian “O Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 KOs), um ex-campeão sul-americano, no evento de 10 ronda 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. eu queria lutar Delvin Rodriguez, o que teria sido uma boa luta em Connecticut, porque é onde ele vem e eu vivo em Rhode Island, mas, Eu acho, seu povo não queria que ele para lutar comigo. Eles devem ser salvá-lo para outra pessoa.
“Assim, Eu precisava tomar essa luta (off-TV vs. um oponente não-classificados) para voltar à acção, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Fiquei desapontado ao perdê-lo, 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 sapatos como próxima estrela do boxe.”
Durante o seu longo hiato do anel, Andrade chamou Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, e outros lutadores de classe mundial sem sucesso, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, um 2007 Campeonato Mundial vencedor da medalha de ouro e quatro vezes campeão nacional amador, entrou com uma ação contra a Roc Nation, alegando que a empresa de promoção, propriedade de Jay-Z, renegou uma promessa de pagar-lhe $550,000.
“A única luta que eu sempre virado para baixo 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 ringue e sábio-comercialização. Eu optou por não tomar essa luta (Dezembro. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) mas, quando as coisas não acontecem com Roc Nation, Eu assinei um contrato para lutar Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Em vez, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov luta (para vago título dos médios WBO) até depois que foi anunciado. Nunca tive a intenção de mover-se para os médios, naquela hora, para lutar com ele ou qualquer outra pessoa. Mais tarde, Eu até se ofereceu para lutar (Anthony) Mundine em seu quintal (Austrália) para o dinheiro curto, apenas para manter o meu título, mas isso não quer trabalhar fora. Eu acho que é tudo parte deste jogo.”
Andrade treinou três ou quatro dias por semana, mesmo sem uma data para lutar, e ele é mais forte do que nunca, física e mentalmente. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, promissora para fazer uma declaração importante Outubro. 17 e além.
“Vou fazer uma declaração que eu sou o melhor lutador de 154 libras no mundo e mostrar por que ninguém quer lutar comigo,” Andrade concluded. “Vou mostrar todas as minhas habilidades com a minha outubro 17th atuação. I’m looking ahead, não no passado.”
Os bilhetes estão à venda, variando desde $200.00 para $25.00 (excluindo comissões). Ligar 401.261.3755 para comprar bilhetes, bem como para ônibus informação especial.
