Undefeated prospect Antonio Tarver, JR. establishing his own identity in ring
 TAMPA (Mayo 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. Ng Olimpus Anthony “Magic Man” Tarver – unbeaten junior middleweight asam 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, Plorida, tigil Jose Cortez sa pangalawang ikot. 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, Kariton para sa karbon 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.
“Sa singsing,” Sinabi 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.”
“Bilang isang ama,” Tarver Sr., litaw, “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,” siya inamin. “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, talaga, 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. Idinagdag. “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 sa Agarang ng Paglabas
Baltimore, MD (Mayo 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.”
Sa kasamaang-palad, 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. Sa Huwebesgabi, 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, Nakareserba ang upuan ay $35, reserved tables for ten are $350, $50 VIP seats and $500 VIP tables of 10 can be purchased by calling 410-375-9175. Mga Pintuan bukas sa 6:30 pm and the fights begin at 8.
Slated to compete in his 100ika 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.
Noong Agosto, Veazey will enroll in college locally and major in either mechanical engineering or computer science. Kasabay nito, 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. Sa huli, 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.”
Magpanday, 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,"Sinabi 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.”
Sa co-tampok, 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.

Talaga ng diyos (Oktubre 5, 2015) – Lahat ng undefeated junior middleweight Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade (21-0, 14 Kos) ay kailanman nais na gawin dahil siya unang laced up ng isang pares ng guwantes bilang isang bata ay ang kahon at iyon ang dahilan kung bakit, pagkatapos ng isang 16-buwan na mag-abot ng kawalan ng aktibidad, ganap na walang kinalaman sa pinsala sa katawan, ang 2008 U.S. Olympian ay bumabalik sa singsing Oktubre 17 sa headline ng isang non-televised show sa Mohegan Sun Arena sa Uncasville, Connecticut.
Ang isang napakaraming bilang ng mga kadahilanan kung itinatago ang 27-taong-gulang na Andrade sa labas ng ring at walang isang pitaka check mula noong Hunyo 14, 2014, kapag siya ay pupuksain No. 1 ipinag-uutos na kalaban Brian “Ang leon” Rose (25-1-1, 7 Kos) sa pitong round, impressively winning sa HBO sa kung ano ang naka-out sa kanyang una at tanging Boxing Organization World (WBO) pagtatanggol pamagat. Andrade, aaway out sa Providence, orihinal na nakunan ang bakanteng titulo WBO 154-pound Nobyembre 9, 2013, naisahimpapawid na rin sa HBO, talunin dating walang talong 2004 U.S. Ng Olimpus Vanes “Nakatatakot na karanasan” Martirosyan (33-0-1, 21 Kos) sa pamamagitan ng paraan ng isang desisyon 12-round.
OPEN MEDIA-eehersisiyo – PUBLIC iniimbitahan
Demetrius Andrade ay hold at open media workout ito Huwebes gabi (8 p.m. AT simula) sa Big Six Academy, 816 Douglas Ave. sa Providence.
Sa panahon ng kanyang nakaraang 16 nakakadismaya buwan, Andrade ay Nakuha ng kanyang pamagat WBO, mahalagang pinagbawalan mula sa pakikipaglaban sa network ng telebisyon, bumaba mula sa lahat ng mga rating, at hindi makatarungan branded bilang fighter na makikipag-usap sa isang malaking laro ngunit tatanggihan matigas fights.
“Ako ay hinalinhan at nagpapasalamat sa pakikipaglaban muli, lalo na malapit sa tahanan at sa harap ng aking mga tagahanga,” Sinabi Andrade tungkol sa kanyang Oktubre. 17 labanan laban sa Argentinian kalaban Dario Fabian “Ang Gallo” Pucheta (20-2, 11 Kos), isang dating South American kampeon, sa 10-round main event para sa bakanteng WBO & Super welterweight championship WBA International. “Ito ay mabuti upang sa wakas ay magkaroon ng isang petsa at Napakasaya ko upang makabalik sa ring. Ito ay hindi ang away ay talagang nais ko ngunit Pucheta may magandang record at palagi siyang lumapit upang labanan. Nais kong makipag-away Delvin Rodriguez, na sana ay naging isang mahusay na paglaban sa Connecticut dahil na kung saan siya ay dumating mula sa at ako ay nakatira sa Rhode Island, pero, Sa tingin ko, hindi gusto ng kanyang mga tao sa kanya upang labanan sa akin. Sila ay dapat na-save sa kanya para sa ibang tao.
“Kaya, Kailangan kong gawin ito away (off-TV vs. isang hindi-ranggo na kalaban) upang makabalik sa aksyon, sa kung saan gusto kong maging at pag-aari. Ito ay hindi tulad ng ako ay nabigo sa ring mawala ang aking belt title. Ako ay bigo sa mawala ito, talaga, ngunit iyan ay hindi kung ano ang nagpapakilala sa akin. Mga taong kilala na ang pinakamahusay na mandirigma ay sa mundo. Lahat ng ko kailanman nais ay upang gawin ay labanan. Gusto kong manatili aktibo at sa tingin ko ang maaari kong punan Floyd MayweatherSapatos ni bilang susunod na superstar boxing ni.”
Sa panahon ng kanyang mahabang pahinga mula sa ring, Andrade sumigaw Mayweather, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Erislandy Lara, at iba pang world-class mandirigma upang hindi mapakinabangan, natitira sa shelf naghihintay sa landing ng isang karera pagtukoy away na hindi kailanman materialized. Andrade, isang 2007 World Championships gintong medalya nagwagi at four-time national amateur kampeon, ay nag-file ng demanda laban Roc Nation, nagke-claim ang kumpanya promotional, pag-aari ng Jay-Z, reneged sa isang pangako na magbayad sa kanya $550,000.
“Ang tanging fight ko kailanman naka-down ay laban (Jermall)Charlo,” Ipinaliwanag Andrade, “dahil ako ay sa na sitwasyon na may Jay-Z. Akala ko siya at ang kanyang mga kumpanya ay maaaring talagang makakatulong sa akin, sa ring at marketing-pera. Pinili ko na hindi tumagal na away (Disyembre. 13, 2014 vs. Charlo) pero, kapag ang mga bagay ay hindi mangyayari sa Roc Nation, Sumali ako sa isang kontrata upang labanan Charlo (Jan. 14, 2015). Sa halip, siya pumirma ng kasunduan upang labanan Martirosyan. Hindi ko alam ang anumang bagay tungkol sa (Matt) Korobov lumaban (para sa bakanteng middleweight pamagat WBO) hanggang sa matapos na ito ay inihayag. Hindi ko nilayon upang ilipat ang hanggang sa middleweight, noon, upang labanan sa kanya o kahit sinong tao. Mamaya, Ako kahit na inaalok sa labanan (Anthony) Mundine sa kanyang looban (Australia) para sa maikling pera, lamang na panatilihin ang aking mga pamagat, ngunit iyon ay hindi gumana ang alinman sa. Hulaan ko na ang lahat ng bahagi ng laro.”
Andrade sinanay tatlo o apat na araw sa isang linggo, kahit na walang isang petsa upang labanan, at siya ay mas malakas kaysa dati, pisikal at itak. Siya ay bumabalik sa ang ring sa isang paghihiganti, promising na gumawa ng isang malaking pahayag Oktubre. 17 at sa hinaharap.

Naghahanap ako ng maaga, hindi sa nakalipas.”
