More Quotes from Antonio Tarver:
I put the golf clubs up, that's a testament to my commitment, ... Whenever you call me when I'm not boxing, I'm on a golf course somewhere. So having to be able to put those up consistently, it's been beautiful. So we know we're focused and we're ready.Antonio Tarver
Tarver and Jones met in the ring for the first time as 13-year-olds at the 1982 Sunshine State Games. I won the first round, ... Roy won the second. The third round was close and he got the decision. Then, when I was fourteen, my mother moved us to a better section of Orlando that was thirty miles from the Boys Club. There was no way for me to get to the gym, so I gave up boxing and concentrated on other sports. I played quarterback and wide receiver in football and shooting guard on the high school basketball team. In my mind, I was good. But I wasn't as good as I thought.

Tonight, I really had to dig deep, ... I let him know my will was stronger than his.

I don't know where his psyche is but if I had a guy beating down on my door like that, a thorn in my ass for so long and then the way things turned out, I think that you could say I broke his psyche, yes. Because I never looked at him as the great Roy Jones Jr., the immortal champion, the guy that was unbeatable, unstoppable. I never looked at him like that. I always looked at him outta my eyes. And when I looked at him I saw him as a regular person. Just a man. And that's why I was able to go in there and have the confidence - and to know if I got the opportunity - I would be revered as the best fight he's ever faced. He was coming off of winning the heavyweight championship of the world when he faced Antonio Tarver. So I know, excuses aside, he hadn't faced a real fighter until he faced me.

Antonio Tarver presented a formidable challenge. He was born in Orlando to a single-parent mother who raised him and three daughters on her own. She and my father never lived together, ... He was a Vietnam vet. It's hard to say he was my father because he was never there. Biologically, he donated but that's about all. We never saw much of each other, just a phone call here and there, so I never had that male figure in my life. That was a void I had to live with.

I put the golf clubs up -- that shows my commitment, ... Whenever you call me and I'm not boxing, I'm on a golf course somewhere. So being able to put those up -- you know we're focused and ready.
