Four-time light heavyweight world champion Antonio Tarver (28-6, 19 KOs) successfully made his debut at heavyweight with a ten round unanimous decision over Nagy Aguilera (16-5, 11 KOs) on Friday night at the Buffalo Run Casino in Miami, Oklahoma. Southpaw Tarver suffered an injury to his left shoulder early on, but that didn’t stop him from dominating the fight. Aguilera’s best round was the tenth. Scores were 98-92 on all cards.
Unbeaten Shawn Porter (17-0, 13 KOs) dropped down to welterweight to defeat game and bloodied Hector Munoz (18-3-1, 11 KOs) via ninth round TKO. Munoz corner finally threw in the towel.

<!-- end .lead_photo -->CLEARWATER —A former world champion boxer was arrested in Florida on a felony theft and bad check warrant stemming from unpaid IOUs at a Las Vegas Strip casino.
The Florida Highway Patrol arrested Antonio Tarver on Saturday night after a traffic stop.
Officials say the 45-year-old Tarver was held on $215,425 bail following his arrest on a warrant issued last June in Las Vegas. It was unclear whether he had an attorney.
Tarver, who lives in the Tampa Bay area, was named in a criminal complaint filed in Las Vegas alleging that he failed to repay three casino loans totaling $200,000 obtained in July 2012 at the posh Wynn Las Vegas resort.
Nevada treats written casino IOUs, known as markers, like fraudulent bad checks. State law lets prosecutors collect a 10 percent processing and prosecution fee with any settlement.
Most cases are resolved before charges are filed. Some are resolved when the amount owed is paid as bail.
Jake Merback, the prosecutor handling the case in Las Vegas, said Monday he hadn't heard from Tarver representatives. Merback said authorities in Florida told him Tarver hadn't immediately posted bail to be freed.
Tarver's professional career included 30 victories and six losses, and he won a bronze medal as a light heavyweight at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996.
Tarver played a heavyweight boxer in the 2006 movie "Rocky Balboa" and has served as a commentator for Showtime Sports Boxing.

HILLSBOROUgh COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – Former champion boxer and Land O’ Lakes resident Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver is already in a heap of trouble in Hillsborough County for owing close to $800,000 in overdue child support for his 14-year-old daughter. Now, he’s been suspended from boxing and fined $50,000 in New Jersey for using performance enhancing drugs before a prize fight there last August.
Tarver won’t discuss his suspension with 8 On Your Side but posted a rant on YouTube last week claiming he’s innocent. “It’s a frame job,” Tarver said in the video. “I don’t know what or who’s behind this crap but all I know is I’m clean. I’m clean period.”

<figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver and his mom, Gwen Tarver; AP file photo.</figcaption></figure>Tarver may have even more troubles related to why he signed a New Jersey boxing license application before the fight insisting he doesn’t owe any child support. Tarver didn’t want to discuss that either – other than to insist he thought the child support questions only applied to debts in New Jersey and not his mounting Florida obligations.

According to a blank application, New Jersey law says a boxer who owes child support debt can’t get a license – or will have the license suspended. A Tampa attorney representing Tarver’s ex-girlfriend Toni Rolle, who is the mother of Tarver’s 14-year-old daughter, insists he personally informed New Jersey boxing authorities about the debt a month before Tarver’s August 14, 2015 bout with Steve Cunningham.
“I contacted the board, got a hold of (New Jersey State Athletic Board General Counsel) Nick Lembo, had some correspondence with him about Mr. Tarver’s delinquent child support,” attorney Lawrence Hodz said. “I informed him it was well over $700,000 and asked him what the procedure was in New Jersey was to deal with this issue.”

Hodz showed us emails from Lembo deferring the matter to promoters apparently without taking any action on behalf of the New Jersey Athletic Board. A month later Tarver walked away with a $250,000 purse after fighting Cunningham to a draw in the same New Jersey bout that later landed him in trouble for doping.
“It leaves me feeling a bit discouraged,” Hodz said. “That it would be that easily put off by a state official knowing how much is owed to my client in unpaid child support.”
<figure style="width: 310px;" id="attachment_104231" class="wp-caption alignleft">
<figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Antonio Tarver’s house</figcaption></figure>Lembo would not answer questions by email Wednesday regarding Tarver’s fight application and referred 8 On Your Side elsewhere to request public records from the athletic board.
According to his sworn testimony in a Hiillsborough child support hearing last month, Tarver ended up spending almost all of his prizefight money from the New Jersey bout on himself and his other debts.
He gave Rolle $12,500 over a period of four months toward his staggering child support debt, which now amounts to more than $779,000.
Hodz is waging a private court battle against Tarver on behalf of Rolle, but in the Florida Department of Revenue system there are almost 650,000 child support cases statewide. The state billed parents close to $2 billion last year and collected 81 percent of it. That still means about $360 million went unpaid to single parents who need money to feed, clothe and provide shelter for their kids.
More information about child support, and how to pay or receive it, is available here.
Hodz said his eight-year quest to collect child support from Tarver is a dismaying example of what other parents face in Florida’s child support enforcement system. “I think the message is if you want to get it you’re going to have to chase it down,” Hodz said.
For his own part, Tarver insists he’s a loving father who’s become the victim of a vindictive ex-girlfriend. “What does my daughter need with $6,000 a month? Are you kidding me?” Tarver asked. “There’s a lot of deadbeat fathers in the world, but I’m not one of them.”
