2-time Dominican Olympian Leonel de los Santos Shipping up to Boston

Mai 4, 2022 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg — **BOSTON (Mai 4, 2022)** – Two-time Dominican Olympian, Leichtgewicht Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 KOs), may be settling in the Boston area to enhance his professional boxing career. Tatsächlich, he recently spent a month there preparing for his last fight, which resulted in a win by way of a 6-round decision this past March in his native Dominican Republic.

Santos’ manager, Ryan Roach, lives in Boston and he introduced his undefeated lightweight to trainer Alex Rivera, and that paid immediate dividends in terms of improvement.

Santos, 26, trained at the Somerville Boxing Club under Rivera, who trains 26-0 welterweight Rashidi Ellis, who Santos sparred with several times, and US Olympian Rashida Ellis, Rashidi’s sister.

“The conditions at our training camp in Boston were very good,” Santos said. “I learned a lot of new things about professional boxing from Alex in just a short time, especially my defense about dodging smaller boxers. He really helped my performance in my last fight.
Rivera only worked with Santos two weeks, but the two connected right away.

“Leonel is a good boxer with a lot of experience,” Rivera remembered. “He has speed and power. We worked on making him more technically sound. It’s about hitting without being hit. He is very tall for his weight class – 5’ 8’ or 5’ 9” – with a good reach. We got along right away, and it was like we had been working together for a long time. I think he can make some noise with his amateur background. He has all the tools. Reminds me a little of Ryan Garcia: tall and strong for his weight class. Leonel has what it takes.

“I wasn’t with Leonel for his last fight, but I did watch some highlights. The guy he fought (Andres Bens Zapata) could really take a punch. Leonel’s hands were swollen after the fight from hitting his opponent so much. Leonel hit him with everything he had. I noticed how his defense and distance had improved. That’s what we worked on. He kept his distance and had a clean fight.”

Santos, who has relatives living in nearby Lawrence, MA, is applying for a work visa to train with Rivera.

“I think training with Alex vastly improved Leonel’s boxing and timing,” Santos’ manager Roach added. “Alex worked a lot on distance, which will lead to more power behind his shots. I saw big changes in Leonel’s last fight. He applied the skills he learned with Alex, and I look forward to more.”

Fighter Locker verpflichtet Marcell Davidson, den Leichtgewichtler aus Kansas City

Januar 14, 2022 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Davidson bros.jpg — Davidson-Brüder (L-R) Marcus & Marcell

**BOSTON (Januar 11, 2022)** - Kansas City (KS) Leichtgewicht Marcell Davidson hat sich seinem jüngeren Bruder angeschlossen, ungeschlagen im Weltergewicht Marcus Davidson (2-0, 2 KOs), in Ryan Roachs Fighter Locker-Stall, nachdem er kürzlich einen exklusiven Managervertrag unterzeichnet hat.

Der 24-jährige Marcell war ein ausgezeichneter Amateurboxer, zweimal die Ringside World Championships gewinnen, neben dem Gewinn einer Goldmedaille bei der 2019 National Golden Gloves Turnier. Der 6' 3" Rechtsausleger gewann auch eine Silbermedaille beim 2017 National Golden Gloves, sowie eine Bronze im folgenden Jahr bei den The Gloves. Er nahm auch an den Olympischen Prüfungen teil.

Davidson kam fast zufällig zum Boxen. Er und Marcus spielten zusammen Fußball in einem Naherholungszentrum. Die Saison war zu Ende und sie wollten sich gerade für Baseball anmelden, als der Boxtrainer sie fragte, welchen Sport sie als nächstes machen würden. Er sagte ihnen, dass Boxer stärker sind als Fußballspieler. Marcus war sofort ein Bekehrter, aber Marcell war wirklich nicht dabei. Er ist einfach nur herumgelaufen, anstatt zu trainieren und wurde schließlich gesperrt, weil er eine Regel gebrochen hat. Schließlich, Marcell hat sich zusammengetan und ein paar Jahre später durfte er wieder ins Fitnessstudio gehen. Seitdem sind die beiden Davidson-Brüder dabei.

Wie Marcell sagt, „Mein Bruder redet mit allen, und ich folge.“ So, als Marcus Profi wurde und einen Managervertrag mit Roach unterschrieb, kurz darauf trat Marcell Fighter Locker bei.

„Ich war bereit, Profi zu werden und bin im Fitnessstudio geblieben,“ erklärte Marcell. „Wir haben darüber gesprochen, bei welchem Manager wir unterschreiben sollen. Wir haben abgewartet und sind bereit geblieben. Mein Bruder hat vor mir unterschrieben, und ich hörte ihm zu wie er über Ryan sprach. Mein Bruder sagte, Ryan sei ein großartiger Kerl und die Zeit sei reif für mich, bei ihm zu unterschreiben, zu.

„Ryan ist ein toller Kerl. Ich wusste nichts über ihn – nicht einmal seine Familie im Boxen – aber er ist ein großartiger Typ, der uns helfen und unsere Karriere aufbauen möchte. Ich konnte definitiv sagen, dass er sich um seine Kämpfer kümmert und sich um seine Kämpfer kümmert.“

Davidson soll im Februar sein Profidebüt geben. 12^th auf „St. Massaker am Valentinstag,” präsentiert von Vertex Promotions, bei Moseleys On The Charles in Dedham, Massachusetts.
"Ich bin sehr aufgeregt,” Marcell sprach über sein bevorstehendes Profidebüt. „Du wirst es nicht sehen, aber ich bin innerlich aufgeregt. Auf diesen Moment habe ich gewartet. Ich möchte dieses Jahr sehr beschäftigt bleiben und vielleicht bis zu meinem fünften oder sechsten Profikampf auf 6-Könner aufsteigen.“

„Marcell ist ein sehr erfahrener Kämpfer,“, kommentierte Roach seinen neuesten Kämpfer. „Eine seiner besten Eigenschaften, was meiner Meinung nach ein großer Vorteil sein wird, ist hos 6' 1" hoch. Wir haben darüber gesprochen, dass er kämpft 135-140 Pfund. Er ist ein sehr sportlicher, junger Mann mit Geschwindigkeit und Kraft. Er war ein national gewerteter Kämpfer, der zu den Olympischen Qualifikationsspielen ging, Das ist also eine große Unterschrift für mein Unternehmen. Ich freue mich, die Davidson-Brüder unter einem Stall zu haben, Kämpfer Medaillon. Sie stehen sich sehr nahe und machen alles zusammen. Das wird ein Spaß!"

Der wachsende Stall begabter Boxer von Fighter Locker umfasst auch den kalifornischen Superfliegengewichtler Rocco „So Cal Kid“ Santomauro (21-1, 6 KOs), New Yorks ABF American West superleichter Ray Jay "The Destroyer" Bermudez (15-0, 11 KOs), Connecticuts ABF USA Superweltergewicht Jimmy „Quiet Storm“ Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs), Colorados ABF American West Super-Mittelgewichts-Champion „The Amazing“ Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KOs), Massachusetts Superleichtgewicht Adrian „Tonka“ Sosa (12-0, 9 KOs), Florida Superbantamgewicht Daniel "The Dedication" Bailey, Jr. (9-0, 5 KOs), Massachusetts im Federgewicht Troy Anderson, Jr. (3-0, 2 KOs), 2-Uhrzeit Brasilianischer Olympioniken & 2016 Olympia-Zweite Yuberjen Martinez, Brasilianischer Olympiasieger Jorge Vivas, 2-Uhrzeit Dominikanische Olympionikin, Leichtgewicht Leonel de los Santos (5-0, 5 KOs), Dominikanische Cruisergewicht Roki „Rocky“ Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominikanische Superweltergewicht Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Dominikanische Federgewicht Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 KOs), Dominikanisches Leichtgewicht Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KOs), Florida-Halbschwergewicht Robert Daniels, Jr. (5-0, 5 KOs), Irisches Halbschwergewicht Tommy „The Kid“ O’Toole (2-0, 2 KOs), Texas Superleichtgewicht Miranda „La Alacrana“ Reyes (5-0-1, 2 KOs) ), und Utah-Brüder, ABF American West Leichtgewichts-Champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KOs) und leichter Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KOs).

Marvin Cordova, Jr. & Robert Daniels, Jr. Join Fighter Locker stable

Mai 29, 2021 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

BOSTON (Mai 25, 2021) – Veteran boxerMarvin “Much Too Much” Cordova, Jr and promising prospectRobert Daniels, Jr. are the latest additions toRyan Roach’s growing Fighter Locker stable.

"Herr. (Jimmy) Burchfield (Cordova’s promoter) linked me up with 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 undjoselito 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 Police 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

"Ich bin 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. Ich verbrachte 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 Minuten, 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. Halbweltergewicht, and GBU Youth light welterweight title belts.

“Ryan Roach believes in me,” Cordova noted. “I’m stronger and ready for the next step. I had talked with a friend, 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, ‘Mr. 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 KOs) is the son of former WBA cruiserweight World championRobert “Preacher Man” Daniels (49-10-1, 41 KOs), who became world champion in 1989, when he decisioned the future Hall of FamerDwight Muhammad Qawi |.

“There’s a little bit of added pressure as the son of a world champion boxer,” 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.

“I was supposed to sign with managers are few times, but it never went anywhere, and I wasn’t getting fights. I have this great opportunity now and I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

Undefeated RayJay Bermudez: Super lightweight prospect flying under the radar

März 2, 2021 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

BOSTON (Februar 25, 2020) – UndefeatedRayJay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 KOs) has tried to stay busy and progress, developmental-wise, fighting three times during the pandemic, including a recent title-winning performance south of the border.

The 22-year-old Bermudez, fighting out of Albany (NY), stopped journeymanRynell Griffin in five rounds last November in New Hampshire, and he followed that up in December with a third-round technical knockout ofEver Ceballos in Mexico to capture the vacant American Boxing Federation’s (ABF) Americas West super lightweight championship.

“Mexico was a humbling experience,” Bermudez said after his ABF title-winning performance. “I’m honored to have had the opportunity to go to another country and fight for a professional title. I fought a tough, scrappy Mexican veteran, who was game from the beginning, but my plan was to stay composed and break him down. And that’s exactly want I did to score a third-round TKO and advance my record to 11-0 mit 8 knockouts. Thank you to everybody who tuned on the FITE.app. This is only the beginning of something special!"

In his most recent fight earlier this month, Bermudez returned to Mexico for a stay busy fight, EinstellungMario Israel Vera round four.

Despite his unbeaten run, Bermudez is still fighting under the radar, at least on a national basis, aber doch 2021 promises to be a breakout year for him, natürlich, pending pandemic restrictions in 2021.

Bermudez, der von Ryan Roachs Fighter Locker verwaltet wird, is trained by his uncle, NoWhere2Hyde bietet umfassende Dienstleistungen für professionelle Boxer auf der ganzen Welt, who has trained five world champions includingTJ Doheny undJavier Fortuna.

RayJay looked great in his last fight,” Roach commented. “He stuck to the game plan and broke his opponent down. We as a team are really happy where he is at right now. We will start stepping up the competition this year. Our goal will be to get him a regional title and get him ranked. This will be an exciting year to be a part of RayJay’s team.

20-1 California super flyweight Rocco Santomauro signs with Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker

März 2, 2021 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

BOSTON (Februar 23, 2021) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has announced it has signed California super flyweightRocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (20-1, 6 KOs) to an exclusive managerial contract.

The 33-year-old Santomauro, fighting out of Apple Valley, SOWIE, is riding a 7-fight win streak since suffering his only loss as a professional to then 14-0Diego De La Hoya nearly five years ago.

“I’m 33,” Santomauro said, but I definitely feel I’m in my prime. My skill level is at its best and I’m always improving. When it comes to getting in there with top guys, I’ve been in the ring with many world champions, outside of fights, and I’ve more than held my own. It’s all a matter of timing and I feel mine is here. I believe I’m very close to a major fight right now at super flyweight. It’s all a matter of getting myself in the right position and I feel like, right now, I have the right team to do so with Ryan Roach and Fighter Locker backing me.

“I signed a managerial contract with Ryan and his Fighter Locker because I knew it was a good move. After managing myself the last year and a half, I knew I needed trustworthy help to get to the next level. Ryan and I were friends on social media. I was aware he was signing fighters with Fighter Locker, so I began to watch and study him to see how he was with his fighters. Having liked what I saw – Ryan being there for his fighters and building a good relationship with him talking from time to time — we were able to come to an agreement to take me to that next level and get a major fight.”

“I’m excited to add such a veteran fight to our stable,” Roach commented. “Rocco checks all the boxes in terms of what a manager looks for in a fighter. He has great ring IQ. He’s fast with great defense, and Rocco a very energetic fighter. He is close to a world title shot; one or two more fights and we will be fighting top super flyweights. Rocco has what it takes to beat those guys.”

The son of an Italian father who wanted his son to be an “animal,” Rocco was born with a fighting spirt, aggressive in nature as a child, and inspired byRocky Marciano. Rocco got into boxing, in large part, due to following in the footsteps of his older brother, who was a decorated amateur boxer. He first boxed because of his brother, then through a local boxing club in Hesperia (SOWIE), in addition to practicing at home as he watched his favorite fighters on ESPN Classic.

Santomauro’s amateur career never really took off. He lived in an area with very little boxing, and needed to travel to box, which resulted in him deciding when he was older to take control of his boxing career by moving to Las Vegas. He developed his skills there and decided in 2009 to turn pro after suffering what he felt was a bad decision at the USA Nationals.

An energetic boxer who is a smart, aggressive counter puncher, Santomauro also checks in on the body, and brings excitement into the ring. His best fight to date was his most recent (November. 7, 2020), als er gestopptChristian Omar Henriques (10-4-2) in the sixth round of their fight in Tijuana.

“I was backed by Fighter Locker and my team,” Rocco noted. “I went in focused and mentally trained properly to do what I had to do against a game, younger opponent with a winning record. I knocked him out! We did it intelligently and were able to hit all the marks performance-wise.”

Training and fighting during a pandemic have been challenging, gelinde gesagt, and being a super flyweight only compounds the problem.

“It’s been very difficult getting fights as an American super flyweight,” Santomauro added, “especially coming down in weight from featherweight and then junior featherweight. Nobody was willing to give me the opportunity, nor did they think I could fight at that weight class having debuted as a junior lightweight. I was basically put on the shelf, turned down left and right as a free agent with 14-1 record at that time. I reached a 1 ½ year layoff, getting only lowball offers against short notice opponents. My trainer, Julian Chua, and I decided it would be smart to start fighting in Mexico, where there were super flyweights to fight.

“Training during the pandemic has been absolute hell for me, closed out of almost all gyms but grateful for being able to visit, from time to time, the Wild Card Boxing Gym and Churchill Boxing Club. But that wasn’t what I was used to. I had to do a lot of what I call ‘Rocky 4’ training on my own to stay fit. I was also lucky enough to build good relationships in Mexico with my promoter, so I was blessed to always have the option of staying busy in Tijuana. And I did.”

Undefeated lightweight prospect Jamaine “The Technician” Ortiz No longer best kept secret after Tyson-Jones, Jr. PPV show performance

Dezember 20, 2020 FNU47 Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

WORCESTER, Masse. (Dezember 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. Pay-per-View-Event, ungeschlagenes LeichtgewichtJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, obwohl, as Ortiz firmly established himself as a rising star in front of countless fans among the 1.6 million PPV buys.

Ortiz flew from Boston to Los Angeles on Thanksgiving. He was driven to his hotel, where he immediately saw Jones, checked his weight, and walked to Staples Center. “I was comfortable from the start,” said the young fighter who was fighting for the first time as a professional outside of New England. “I was there to get the job done. I was on a mission. I walk to see the Staples Center and that was cool. I later took my run around the Staples Center and there were a lot of statues. It was beautiful. It was cool seeing the Lakers locker-room.”

The 24-year-old Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, ausgeschlagenSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) with a bruising body attack, hurting his opponent in the sixth round, and closing the show in spectacular fashion in the seventh for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S.) Silver lightweight title. Segawa had never been stopped before as a professional.

Ortiz displayed his overall arsenal: stiff jab, lightning quick hands and feet, switching back and forth effortlessly from orthodox to southpaw stances, punishing hooks up and down, and the most lethal body shots seen from a New Englander since"Irischer" Micky Ward.

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, geistig, like it was a sparring session and I always do good. I started out in an orthodox stance, established my jab and used it a lot. I think I should have used it more and could have beaten him with it. I listened to my coach (Rocky Gonzalez) and he told me when to switch. Body punching is the No. 1 thing with Rocky. I may not have shown it nearly as much in other fights, but he drills that into me all the time. In the sixth round, he told me to go more to the body, not looking to catch him, and in the seventh I really hurt him to the body.

“Segawa was definitely tough. He had beaten a lot of guys, including a few he upset. Every fight is a stepping-stone and I’m my worst critic. I felt that I could have knocked him out in the second round, but I didn’t want to go off the game plan

Ortiz set-up Segawa from the opening bell, brach ihn, and finished the show in grand style as Seqawa was hurt and trapped on the ropes, drawing kudos from highly respected people in the industry such as"Zucker" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, and others. Ortiz’ fanbase grew exponentially as boxing fans rushed to sign up to follow Jamaine during and after his breakout fight.

“Once people saw me perform and my style,” Ortiz continued, “they liked me. I could have shown more and thrown more combinations. I really needed to fight in front of the world. I got 5,500 new Instagram flowers that night. I guess, I’m no longer the best kept secret in boxing.”

“Our main goal is to win a world title,” Gonzalez commented. “This was fun and a great opportunity, but the motivation to be world champion is stronger. He dealt with this fight as just another fight, and he followed our game plan.

“His body shots set up the ending. I’m always telling him about Micky Ward’s body shots. You know, boxing is a dance, a salsa. Boxers need to dance; I don’t think they should just be orthodox. They all need to fight the other way and when Jamaine switched stances in the third, er nie nachlassen. I’ve trained him hard. I’m always on him and what better way to shut me up than ending it like he did on pay per view? It was a drop the microphone moment!"

Ortiz is promoted byJimmy Burchfield (Klassische Unterhaltung und Sport) and advised byRichard Shappy undEddie Imondi.

Because of the uncertainty in boxing due to the pandemic, Ortiz’ 2021 schedule is unknown, but he isn’t boxing’s best kept secret anymore, “The Technician” is a bonafide rising star.
