BOSTON (Mei 25, 2021) - Veteraan bokserMarvin "Much Too Much" Cordova, Jr en veelbelovend vooruitzichtRobert Daniels, Jr. zijn de laatste toevoegingen aanRyan RoachDe groeiende Fighter Locker-stal.
"Dhr. (Jimmy) Burchfield (Cordova's promotor) verbond me met Marvin,” Roach said. We had a few short conversations on the phone, and it just happened. Marvin is very passionate about the sport, and he’s read to show the worked he still has a lot left in his tank. He truly is a special fighter with a high-caliber resume including opponents likeVictor Ortiz enJoselito Lopez. He has a great team around him now and we are really looking forward to getting him going.
“Robert is a great young man coming from a family just like mine. I am ready to get him going with a great trainer inKevin Cunningham. I am proud to add him to the Fighter Locker team. He is really a talented fighter that had a few bad breaks early on in his career. He had managerial issues and so forth. Look for Daniels Jr. during the next year!"
The 36-year-old Cordova (23-2-1, 12), is a super middleweight from Pueblo, Colorado. A solid amateur who was a bronze medalist at the 2002 U.S. Under-19 and 2003 Politie Athletic League, Cordova turned pro in 2014, but his pro career has been interrupted because spent 8 years in prison. He also defeated future pro world championDaniel Jacobs
"Ik m 36 but a young 36,” Cordova said. “I started boxing at 4. I had 242 amateur fights and was chosen as one of the top amateur boxers in the country. I spent 8 years in prison, and it made me a better person and hungrier fighter. I have some unfinished business to take care of. I really beat Joselito Lopez (Lopez won an 8-round decision). I hit him with a big shot in the sixth round, but they let him stay down for 4 notulen, claiming he was hit low.”
In his last fight this past January, Cordova captured the NBA super middleweight title by stopping 56-30-3Hector Velazquez in round four, adding to his awards display case that also includes his Interim WBC Youth World, WBA NABA U.S. licht weltergewicht, en GBU Jeugd lichte weltergewicht titelgordels.
'Ryan Roach gelooft in mij,” Cordova noted. “I’m stronger and ready for the next step. Ik had met een vriend gepraat, Jimmy Williams, about signing with a good manager. He told me Ryan was a good manager who loves his fighters and really cares about him. My promoter, 'Dhr. B ' (Jimmy Burchfield), hooked me up with Ryan. He calls to make sure I’m good and he can get me to the elite level once again.”
Daniels (4-0, 4 KO) is de zoon van voormalig WBA cruiserweight wereldkampioenRobert "Preacher Man" Daniels (49-10-1, 41 KO), die wereldkampioen werd in 1989, toen hij een besluit nam over de toekomstige Hall of FamerDwight Muhammad Qawi.
"Er is een beetje extra druk als zoon van een wereldkampioen bokser,” southpaw Daniels admitted. I’ve heard things like ‘he’s not going to be like his father, he doesn’t have what it takes to be world champion.’”
Now fighting out of West Palm Beach, Florida, Miami native Daniels is now trained by Cunningham. Managerial issues resulted in him fighting only four times as a pro during his nearly 5-year career.
“I was introduced to Ryan by my friend, Daniel Bailey (a member of Fighter Locker), and I believe Ryan can get me to a world title,” Daniels remarked. “The main reason I signed with Ryan is I like his personality. He’s easy to talk with and before I even signed with him, he reached out to me to see how things were going. And that’s a big reason why I did sign with him.
“Ik had een paar keer moeten tekenen met managers, maar het ging nergens heen, and I wasn’t getting fights. I have this great opportunity now and I’m going to take full advantage of it.”
