Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, Jr. establishing his own identity in ring
TAMPA (Mei 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. Olympian Anthony “Uchawi Mtu” 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, kuacha Jose Cortez katika raundi ya pili. 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.
“Katika pete,” Tarver alisema, “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.”
“Kama baba,” Tarver Sr., alibainisha, “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,” alikiri. “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, bila shaka, 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. aliongeza. “He has to learn how to balance fatherhood with his pro boxing career, making sacrifices to become a champion!”

OPEN MEDIA Workout – PUBLIC walioalikwa
Demetrio Andrade itafanya na wazi vyombo vya habari Workout hii Alhamisi usiku (8 p.m. NA mwanzo) katika Big Six Academy, 816 Douglas Ave. katika Providence.
Katika kipindi cha yake 16 miezi frustrating, Andrade imekuwa kuvuliwa WBO taji lake, kimsingi marufuku kutoka mapigano kwenye mtandao televisheni, imeshuka kutoka ratings wote, na isivyo haki za asili kama mpiganaji ambaye anazungumza mchezo kubwa lakini anarudi chini mapambano mgumu.
“Mimi nina kuondoka na kushukuru kwa kuwa mapigano tena, hasa karibu na nyumbani na mbele ya mashabiki wangu,” Andrade alisema kuhusu Oktoba wake. 17 mapambano dhidi ya mpinzani Argentina Dario Fabian “Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Kos), bingwa wa zamani wa Amerika ya Kusini, katika raundi 10 tukio kuu kwa wazi 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 Rodriguez, ambayo ingekuwa vita vizuri katika Connecticut sababu hiyo ni ametoka wapi na mimi kuishi katika Rhode Island, lakini, Nadhani, watu wake hakutaka kupigana kwangu. Ni lazima kumwokoa kwa mtu mwingine.
“Hivyo, Mimi zinahitajika kuchukua vita hii (off-TV vs. mpinzani zisizo nafasi) kupata nyuma katika hatua, to where I want to be and belong. It’s not like I failed in the ring to lose my title belt. Nilikuwa tamaa kupoteza yake, bila shaka, 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 Floyd Mayweather ya'S viatu kama ndondi ya nyota ijayo.”
Wakati hiatus wake kwa muda mrefu kutokana na pete, Andrade walioitwa Mayweather, Sauli “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, na wapiganaji wengine duniani darasa na hakuna kitu, remaining on the shelf waiting to landing a career defining fight that never materialized. Andrade, a 2007 Mabingwa wa Dunia medali ya dhahabu mshindi na mara nne Amateur kitaifa bingwa, imefungua kesi dhidi Roc Taifa, wakidai kampuni ya uendelezaji, inayomilikiwa na Jay-Z, reneged juu ya ahadi kumlipa $550,000.
“Mapambano tu mimi milele akageuka chini ilikuwa dhidi (Jermall)CHARLO,” Andrade alieleza, “because I was in that situation with Jay-Z. I thought he and his company could really help me, katika pete na masoko-busara. Nilichagua si kuchukua kupambana na kwamba (Desemba. 13, 2014 vs. CHARLO) lakini, Wakati mambo halikutokea kwa Roc Taifa, Mimi saini mkataba wa kupambana Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Badala, he signed a deal to fight Martirosyan. I never knew anything about the (Matt) Korobov kupambana (kwa wazi WBO middleweight title) mpaka baada ilitangazwa. Mimi kamwe nia ya hoja juu ya middleweight, wakati huo, kupambana naye au mtu yeyote mwingine. Baadaye, Mimi hata kutolewa kwa kupambana (Anthony) Mundine katika mashamba yake (Australia) kwa fedha short, tu kuweka kichwa changu, lakini kwamba hakuwa na kazi nje ama. Nadhani hayo ni sehemu zote za mchezo huu.”
Andrade mafunzo ya siku tatu au nne kwa wiki, hata bila tarehe kupigana, na yeye ni nguvu zaidi ya hapo, kimwili na kiakili. He is returning to the ring with a vengeance, kuahidi kutoa taarifa kuu Oktoba. 17 na zaidi ya.
“Mimi nina kwenda kufanya kauli kwamba mimi nina bora 154-pound mpiganaji katika ulimwengu na kuonyesha kwa nini hakuna mtu anataka kupambana na mimi,” Andrade concluded. “Mimi nina kwenda kuonyesha yote ya ujuzi wangu na Oktoba yangu 17th performance. I’m looking ahead, si katika siku za nyuma.”
