Big and Bad Freight Train Walker Ready to Roll Over Adamek BIG AND BAD FREIGHT TRAIN WALKER READY TO ROLL OVER ADAMEK NEWARK, NJ - Travis "Freight Train" Walker, 39-7-1, 31 KOs, has waited a long time to make his move in the heavyweight division. The eight-year pro originally from Tallahassee, FL, has fought all over the world against major competition. But he will get his biggest opportunity to gain attention from the boxing public when he faces former two-time world champ Tomasz Adamek, 46-2, 28 KOs, in the 12-round main event at Newark, NJ's Prudential Center on Saturday afternoon, September 8, 2012. Adamek's IBF North American Heavyweight Title will be on the line in the fight. "This is probably my biggest chance," Walker said. "I'm very confident, and feel really good about it. I've been at this place before, and I'm very proud of myself for getting here again. It was a long, long road I travelled to get back here." At 6'4 ½" tall and weighing in at about 245 pounds, the 33-year old Walker is taller, heavier, and younger than Adamek. The Tallahasse native will look to leverage these advantages when he meets the former champ in the rare afternoon-set fight card. Walker looked like a "Freight Train" in his last bout, when he brutally halted Kali Meehan in the sixth round of their IBF Pan Pacific Heavyweight Title Fight in March. Meehan could not take the punishment dealt by Walker, and the contest was stopped less than one minute into round six. In contrast, Walker feels Tomasz Adamek had a tough night in his last outing--a 12-round points win over Eddie Chambers at Newark's Prudential Center in June. Walker hopes that he can prove that Adamek's difficulties with Chambers were signs of slippage that will help to improve his own chances. "I don't think he's the fighter he was," Walker said of his opponent. With 31 knockouts in his 39 victories, it is clear that Travis will be looking to over-power the tough former champion, who is currently ranked #3 by the IBF. However, Walker knows that he will have to do it in Adamek's adopted backyard. Prudential Center has been "home field" for the Polish-born Adamek, who attracts big crowds of loyal and loud supporters every time he fights in Newark. Although competing in enemy territory is never easy, Walker has made a career of it, and he takes such assignments in stride. After being the underdog in distant locales such as Germany and Australia, fighting in New Jersey seems like a piece of cake. "I've been doing it my whole life, so it's nothing new to me," Walker said. "I've been to everybody's backyard. I'm going into this fight with the mind frame that I'm not going to win unless I stop him. I'm not going to force the knockout, but I really believe that I have to have one." On September 8th, the "Freight Train" pulls into Newark for his chance to shake up the heavyweight rankings. All aboard!

  • Boxing History to Be Forged at "Ironbound Throwdown" in Newark Sept 8, 2012
    BOXING HISTORY TO BE FORGED AT "IRONBOUND THROWDOWN" IN NEWARK SEPT 8, 2012 NEWARK, NJ - When Tomasz "Goral" Adamek returns to Newark's Prudential Center on Saturday afternoon, September 8, 2012, the popular Polish Kearney resident will headline the "Ironbound Throwdown", another big boxing card featuring a total of four world-rated contenders in three big heavyweight fights. Scheduled to begin at 2PM, this rare afternoon event brings some of the top names of the current professional boxing scene to Newark's "Ironbound" neighborhood, which has become a hotbed for pro boxing in recent years. Topping the card is former two-time world champion, now rated #4 among heavyweights, Tomasz Adamek, 46-2, 28 KOs, who will face #12 rated Travis Walker of Tallahassee, FL, 39-7-1, 31 KO's in a 12-round heavyweight battle for Adamek's IBF North American Heavyweight Title. However the action on this card is not confined to the main event. Highlighting the undercard is former two-time cruiserweight champion Steve "USS" Cunningham, 24-4, 12 KOs, who makes his heavyweight debut against Jason Gavern, of Harrisonburg, VA, 21-10-4, 10 KOs. Cunningham, of Philadelphia, currently rated #3 among cruiserweights, recently decided to make the move to the lucrative heavyweight division, looking for bigger challenges and the heavyweight paydays that come with them. Cunningham is currently working to add weight to his perfectly conditioned frame without sacrificing speed or mobility, as he steps up for the first time to face the larger opposition in boxing's glamour division. In Jason "The Sensation" Gavern, Cunningham meets a fighter who holds wins over Darnell Wilson and Manuel Quezada, as well as a draw against Johnathon Banks.

    M A G A Z I N E F A L L 2 0 0 4 DearLe Frtteriends, from the Dean When I began my tenure as Dean in July of 2001, one of my goals was to establish a new publication that would feature not only news and features about the work and activities of our faculty, students and alumni, but special articles with relevance to the Arts and Arts Education along with tributes to the many individuals who have provided special support for the College over the years as well. I am delighted therefore to bring you this first edi- tion of our College’s Alumni Magazine as a sequel to the College’s 10th Anniversary activi- ties that have been taking place over the past year. The Magazine, which will be pub- lished periodically, is being produced by the College in collaboration with the College of Journalism and Mass Communications, whose students have authored several of the feature articles and have assisted with the layout and design. Our special thanks to Dean Will Norton and Professors Charlyne Berens, Susan Gage and Gerald Sass for working with us on this project. Our 10th Anniversary Celebration officially began last August, with a presentation at our Annual Fall College Convocation by Ben Cameron, who is currently the Executive Director of the Theatre Communications Group, and culminated this past April with our Second Annual Alumni Awards Dinner and student performances in the Lied Center for Performing Arts of Frank Loesser’s Guys and Dolls and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Anniversary events throughout the year included an interesting array of more than 40 pre- sentations and performances by such noted artists and scholars as Elliot Eisner, Mary Zimmerman, William Bolcom, and others.
