Andrew Tabiti had a great career at the amateur ranks, falling just short of qualifying for the last Olympics. So it was no surprise that he debuted as a pro in impressive fashion. And impress he did, scoring a first round knockout over an over matched Andrew Howk on Friday night, breaking his foes orbital bone in the process.
Now, just a few days after getting his win, we sat down for a few minutes with him to discuss how it all went down, and the emotions he was going through on that night. Andrew discussed the nerves he felt going in, as well as knowing that his opponent was looking nervous once the bell rang. He also discussed how the addition of Floyd Mayweather Sr. has helped to elevate his game.
As the newest, and without a doubt most quiet member of Floyd Mayweather’s Money Team, it is Andrew Tabiti that might have as high of a ceiling as any of them. With astonishing speed for a man of his size, he will be formidable opponent for anyone competing in the cruiserweight division. And with a strong team around him at the Mayweather Boxing Club, he is only going to get better.
