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 S.U.A.. Olimpic 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 KO) returned to the ring in Lakeland, Florida, oprire Jose Cortez în al doilea tur. 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.
“In inelul,” Tarver a spus, “I’m still a baby. My opponents may be much more experienced than me, but I do have a lot of experience around me: tatăl meu, 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.”
“Ca un tată,” Tarver Sr., remarcat, “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 a recunoscut. “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, desigur, 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. adăugat. “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
Pentru publicare imediată
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.”
Din păcate, 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. Joiseară, 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, locuri rezervate sunt $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. Usi deschise la 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100lea 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.
În luna august, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. În același timp, 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. În cele din urmă, 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.”
Fierar, 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,", A spus 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.”
În co-caracteristica, 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 (Octombrie 5, 2015) – All undefeated junior middleweight Dimitrie “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 KO) a vrut să facă, deoarece el dantelat întâi o pereche de mănuși ca un copil este de la caseta și de aceea, după o intindere de 16 luni de inactivitate, total independent de prejudiciu, the 2008 S.U.A.. Olympian se întoarce la inelul Octombrie 17 la titlu un spectacol non televizat la Mohegan Sun Arena din Uncasville, Connecticut.
O multitudine de motive păstrat în vârstă de 27 de ani Andrade din inel și fără o verificare pungă din iunie 14, 2014, atunci când a distrus Nu. 1 pretendent obligatoriu Brian “Leul” A crescut (25-1-1, 7 KO) în șapte runde, impresionant câștigătoare pe HBO în ceea ce sa dovedit a fi primul și singurul lui Organizația Mondială Box (WBO) apărare titlu. Andrade, lupta din Providence, capturat inițial vacant titlul WBO 154 de lire noiembrie 9, 2013, De asemenea, a fost difuzat pe HBO, înfrângerea neînvins anterior 2004 S.U.A.. Olimpic Palete “Coșmar” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 KO) printr-o decizie de 12-a rundă.
OPEN ANTRENAMENT MEDIA – PUBLIC INVITATE
Dimitrie Andrade va organiza și deschide antrenament media joi noapte (8 p.m. ȘI start) la Big Six Academy, 816 Douglas Ave. în Providence.
În timpul trecutul său 16 luni frustrante, Andrade a fost deposedat de titlul WBO, în esență, interzis de la lupta pe reteaua de televiziune, a scăzut de la toate ratingurile, și nedrept de marcă ca un luptator care vorbește un joc mare, dar refuză lupte dure.
“Sunt ușurat și recunoscător că luptă din nou, mai ales aproape de casă și în fața fanilor mei,” Andrade a spus despre octombrie sa. 17 lupta impotriva adversarului argentinian Dario Fabian “Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 KO), un fost campion din America de Sud, în cazul 10-a rundă principal pentru vacant 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. Am vrut să lupte Delvin Rodriguez, care ar fi fost o luptă bună Connecticut pentru că de unde vine și am trăi în Rhode Island, dar, Cred, poporul lui nu au vrut să mă lupt să-l. Acestea trebuie să fie să-l economisire pentru altcineva.
“Așa, Am nevoie pentru a lua această luptă (off-TV vs. un adversar non clasat) să mă întorc în acțiune, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Am fost dezamăgit să-l pierd, desigur, 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 pantofi ca box de pe lângă superstar.”
În timpul pauza lunga sa din ring, Andrade a strigat Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, și alți luptători de talie mondială fără nici un rezultat, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, o 2007 Campionatul Mondial câștigător medalia de aur și de patru ori campion național de amatori, a intentat un proces împotriva Roc Nation, susținând compania de promovare, deținută de Jay-Z, renegat pe o promisiune să-i plătească $550,000.
“Singurul Lupta m-am întors vreodată în jos a fost împotriva (Jermall)Charlo,” Andrade a explicat, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, în ring și-comercializarea înțelept. Am ales să nu ia această luptă (Decembrie. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) dar, atunci când lucrurile nu sa întâmplat cu Roc Nation, Am semnat un contract pentru a lupta Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). În schimb, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov luptă (pentru vacant WBO titlu mijlocie) până după ce a fost anunțat. N-am intenționat să se deplaseze până la mijlocie, în acel moment, să lupte cu el sau oricine altcineva. Mai târziu, Chiar i-am oferit să lupte (Anthony) Mundine în curtea sa (Australia) pentru bani scurt, doar pentru a păstra titlul meu, dar că nu a mers nici. Cred că asta e tot parte din acest joc.”
Andrade antrenat de trei sau patru zile pe saptamana, chiar și fără o dată de a lupta, și el este mai puternic decât oricând, fizic si mental. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, promisiunea de a face o declarație majoră Octombrie. 17 si dincolo.
“Am de gând să facă o declarație că sunt cel mai bun luptător 154 de lire în lume și arată de ce nimeni nu vrea să mă lupt,” Andrade concluded. “Am de gând pentru a prezenta toate abilitățile mele cu luna octombrie mea 17lea performanţă. I’m looking ahead, nu în trecut.”
Biletele sunt puse în vânzare, variind de la $200.00 pentru $25.00 (cu excepția taxe). Apel 401.261.3755 să cumpere bilete, precum și pentru autobuz informații speciale.
