Here’s what Andrade, who’ll also be risking his WBO International title, rekao je Ponedjeljak:
DIMITRIJA ANDRADE
Reflections of Muhammad Ali:
“Muhammad Ali certainly shook the world, and not only in boxing. He was colorful; nobody talked like him. He helped boxers, suviše. Ali is the reason Floyd (Mayweather, Jr.) is who he is because Ali set the bar high.
“As an entertaining boxer, Ali brought blacks and whites together and later he spread the word about religion, culture and his other diverse interests.
“What young boxer didn’t do the Ali Shuffle? I know I did, and taunted my opponents like him, too.”
About Pros in the Olympics:
“I’m for pros in the Olympics as long as an amateur, who has a few Olympic trials, has the first opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. Coming up in the amateurs, I fought grown men, some who had been Olympians a few times. Bio sam 21 and some of the opponents were 34-35 and had already been Olympians one or two times. They had advantages in experience, snaga i vještina. Nažalost, Americans only have Olympic opportunities when they’re young amateurs.
“Would I go the Olympics now? Da! The Olympics is the biggest thing on the planet. To represent the United States again, da, I’d do it now for the chance to win gold. But I do think headgear should be applied in amateur boxing, including the Olympics.”
On the 154-pound division:
“I’m putting myself in the best position to fight for the WBO or WBC title. There are rumors of Canelo fighting (WBO champion Liam) Kovač. Let me fight Smith and the winner gets Canelo. Or let me fight Canelo with the winner getting Smith.
“I’m going to knock out the Charlo twins. Both guys have fought on SHOWTIME, so those fights shouldn’t be too difficult to make. Once I take care of business with the Charlo twins, I’ll fight Lara (WBA champion) to clean up the division.”
On Gennady Golovkin:
“I definitely want to fight Golovkin. Let me build myself up first, by cleaning out the 154-division, and then we’ll have a mega-fight with two different styles. GGG is known for his knockouts. I knock out people, suviše, but I’m a better boxer than him. It’ll be one of the biggest fights in the sport of boxing. I’m going to clean up the 154-division, make my reputation and then it’s a go with GGG.”
Relationship with his opponent Willie Nelson:
“We were in the U.S. amateurs together, but because we were in two different weight classes – he was 140-147 a ja sam bio 152 – there were no problems between us. We used to watch each other fight and watch other Americans box.
“Nelson is experienced having gone through the amateurs. Borio se (Vanes) Martirosyan, who I beat (for the vacant WBO title by 12-round unanimous decision). He’s fought at this level. I know he’s tall, but I’m 6-foot-1, so our height difference isn’t serious.”
On returning to the ring:
“I’m pleased that we have this opportunity. SHOWTIME has given me this chance and now it’s up to me to prove I can backup what we said.”

MIAMI (April 6, 2015) – Veteran boks manager John Seip ima potpisan visoko uređena talijanski amaterski boksač Daniel Mark Scardina na ekskluzivni ugovor menadžerske.
Seip je najpoznatiji za usmjeravanje Nestajati “Kid Chocolate” Quillin na World Boxing Organization (WBO) titulu svjetskog prvaka u srednjoj kategoriji. The native New Yorker upravlja raste British super srednjoj kategoriji Konj “The Stallion” Woodall (7-0-1, 5 KOs).
U 21-godišnji Scardina potječe iz Rozzano, grad manje od 40,000 ljudi u provinciji Milan. Počeo je u boks 2008 u dobi od 16, stopama svog ujaka koji je bokser u to vrijeme, kao i Daniele uzor.
Scardina, koji je imao 56 amaterski borbama, zarobljeni top počasti u brojnim Italian turnire uključujući Rovereto National, National Silver rukavica, i dva National Golden Gloves. On je također osvojila je bronzanu medalju na međunarodni događaj.
U 2013, on je uokvirena za Italia Thunder Boks tima u World Series of Boxing, osvajanja njegov jedini meč protiv njemačkog protivnika.
Scardina prvi uhvatio Seip pažnju na svjetski poznati 5th St. Teretana u Miami Beach, prvobitno otvoren u 1950 po Chris Dundee, i dom bezbroj svetski prvaci su se obučeni uključujući Muhammad Ali, Carmen Basilio, Willie Pastrano, Emile Griffith, Archie Moore, Roberto Duran, Sonny Liston i Willie Pep. Bogata tradicija se nastavlja u novoj 5th St. Gym, nalazi u blizini na 1434 Alton Street, gdje top boraca iz cijelog svijeta, kao što su Bernard Hopkins i dalje trenirati.
“Prvi put sam ga vidio obuku u 5th St. Teretana i izgledao je kao tipični amater,” Objasnio Seip. “Bacio širok udaraca i nije znao kako da se baci dobar ubod. Trainers Guy Laieta i Dino Spencer počeo da radi s njim i on sada koristi njegova dohvata, borbu na daljinu, i bacajući kombinacije direkata i kuke. On je strastveni o boksu, slušanje i učenje svaki dan. Daniele ima dobru brzinu i snagu ruku. On je zgodan dečko, suviše. Vidio sam nešto u njemu, neopipljive, i odlučio da ga potpiše.
“Dino je vlasnik koji je stvorio vrhunski teretana sa velike mogućnosti sparing u atmosferi motivima toliko talentiranih boraca koji zaista gurati jedni druge. Već je jasno da je Danielle poboljšala obuku svoje vještine postoji. On je dugo, brzo i snažno. Njegova radna etika je neverovatno; On je prvi u teretani, zadnja napustiti. Ne možete povredi ovog klinca, ili. Mi svi vjerujemo da on ima vrlo svijetlu budućnost.”
Za razliku od boraca iz Rusije i bivšeg Sovjetskog bloka naroda, kao i onih iz Latinske Amerike koji dolaze u Sjedinjene Države da uspostave svoje profesionalne karijere boksu, Talijanski-rođen borci rijetko su pratili istim putem kao Scardina, koja se preselila u Miami prošle godine, a spava na podu stana svoga brata.
The Lone Talijanski-rođen svjetski prvak koji se profesionalno borio u Americi Vito Antuofermo (50-7-2, 21 KOs), koji je bio u srednjoj prvak WBC / WBA u 1979-1980. Antuofermo, iako, preselio sa porodicom u Brooklyn iz Puglia, Italija kada je bio 17 i on je naučio kako boksati u Americi.
“Uvijek sam želio biti prvak u Americi,” Scardina rekao. “To je američki san za mene. Mislim da ću imati veliku priliku u ovoj zemlji biti najveći bokser mogu biti s pravom pomoć. John Seip je pravi menadžer za mene jer smatra da možemo svjetskom prvenstvu zajedno kao tim.”
Omiljeni bokseri Scardina su Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Guillermo Rigondeaux i Miguel Cotto. “Radim na savršenstva kao vanjski borac i na glavni rukama bliže,” Scardina dodao. Borim se da postane svjetski prvak.”
Scardina se očekuje da njegova pro debi ovog maju ili junu.
