Marvin Cordova, Jr. & Robert Daniels, Jr. Únete al establo de Fighter Locker
BOSTON (Mayo 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.
"Sr. (Palanqueta) 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 likeVíctor Ortiz yJoselito 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 Liga Atlética Policíaca, 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
"Estoy 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 acta, 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. peso welter ligero, 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
BOSTON (Febrero 25, 2020) - invictoRayJay "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 (Nueva York), 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 con 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, paradaMario Israel Vera round four.
Despite his unbeaten run, Bermudez is still fighting under the radar, at least on a national basis, pero 2021 promises to be a breakout year for him, por supuesto, pending pandemic restrictions in 2021.
Bermúdez, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, is trained by his uncle, Hector Bermudez, who has trained five world champions includingTJ Doheny yJavier 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
BOSTON (Febrero 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, TAL COMO, 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, ahora mismo, 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 (TAL COMO), 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 (Noviembre. 7, 2020), cuando se detuvoChristian 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. lo noqueé! We did it intelligently and were able to hit all the marks performance-wise.”
Training and fighting during a pandemic have been challenging, por decir lo menos, 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, Julián 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.”
Ahora, Roach and Fighter Locker have Santomauro’s back, and his future is promising.

El prospecto invicto de peso ligero Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Ya no es el secreto mejor guardado después de Tyson-Jones, Jr. Rendimiento del programa PPV
WORCESTER, Masa. (Diciembre 14, 2020) - Antes de su sensacional actuación en el reciente Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view evento, prospecto invicto de peso ligeroJamaine "El técnico" Ortiz era el secreto mejor guardado del boxeo. No más, aunque, Ortiz se estableció firmemente como una estrella en ascenso frente a innumerables fanáticos entre los 1.6 millones de compras de PPV.
Ortiz voló de Boston a Los Ángeles el día de Acción de Gracias. Fue llevado a su hotel, donde vio inmediatamente a Jones, comprobó su peso, y caminó hasta el Staples Center. “Me sentí cómodo desde el principio,”Dijo el joven peleador que peleaba por primera vez como profesional fuera de Nueva Inglaterra. “Estaba allí para hacer el trabajo. Estaba en una misión. Camino para ver el Staples Center y eso fue genial. Más tarde di una vuelta por el Staples Center y había muchas estatuas. Fue hermoso. Fue genial ver el vestuario de los Lakers ".
Ortiz, de 24 años (14-0, 8 KOs), el actual campeón mundial juvenil de boxeo, noqueadoSulaimán Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) con un ataque corporal con moretones, lastimar a su oponente en el sexto asalto, y cerrando el show de manera espectacular en el séptimo para el vacante Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) USNBC (U.S) Título de peso ligero plateado. Segawa nunca antes había sido detenido como profesional.
Ortiz mostró su arsenal general: jab rígido, manos y pies rápidos como un rayo, cambiando sin esfuerzo de la postura ortodoxa a la de zurdo, castigar los ganchos hacia arriba y hacia abajo, y los golpes al cuerpo más letales vistos desde Nueva Inglaterra desde"Irlandés" Micky Ward.
"Estaba tranquilo y tranquilo antes de la pelea,”, Agregó Ortiz. "Me gusta entrar en una pelea, mentalmente, como si fuera una sesión de sparring y siempre lo hago bien. Comencé en una postura ortodoxa, estableció mi jab y lo usé mucho. Creo que debería haberlo usado más y podría haberlo golpeado con él. Escuché a mi entrenador (Rocky González) y me dijo cuándo cambiar. El golpe al cuerpo es el No. 1 cosa con Rocky. Puede que no lo haya mostrado tanto en otras peleas, pero me lo inculca todo el tiempo. En la sexta ronda, me dijo que fuera mas al cuerpo, sin buscar atraparlo, y en el séptimo le hice mucho daño en el cuerpo.
“Segawa fue definitivamente difícil. Había golpeado a muchos chicos, incluidos algunos que molestó. Cada pelea es un trampolín y yo soy mi peor crítico. Sentí que podría haberlo noqueado en el segundo asalto., pero no quería salirme del plan de juego
Ortiz preparó a Segawa desde el timbre de apertura, él se rompió, y terminó el espectáculo con gran estilo cuando Seqawa resultó herido y atrapado en las cuerdas, obteniendo elogios de personas muy respetadas en la industria, como"Sugar" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, y otros. La base de fans de Ortiz creció exponencialmente a medida que los fanáticos del boxeo se apresuraron a inscribirse para seguir a Jamaine durante y después de su pelea de ruptura.
“Una vez que la gente me vio actuar y mi estilo,Ortiz continuó, “Les agradaba. Podría haber mostrado más y lanzado más combinaciones. Realmente necesitaba pelear frente al mundo. tengo 5,500 nuevas flores de Instagram esa noche. supongo, Ya no soy el secreto mejor guardado del box ".
“Nuestro principal objetivo es ganar un título mundial,”Comentó González. “Fue divertido y una gran oportunidad, pero la motivación para ser campeón del mundo es más fuerte. Lidió con esta pelea como solo otra pelea, y siguió nuestro plan de juego.
“Sus golpes al cuerpo marcaron el final. Siempre le hablo de los golpes al cuerpo de Micky Ward. Ya sabes, el boxeo es un baile, una salsa. Los boxeadores necesitan bailar; No creo que deban ser simplemente ortodoxos. Todos necesitan pelear al revés y cuando Jamaine cambió de postura en la tercera, el nunca se rinde. Lo he entrenado duro. Siempre estoy con él y qué mejor manera de callarme que terminar como lo hizo en el pago por evento.? Fue un momento de caída del micrófono!"
Ortiz es promovido porJimmy Burchfield (Clásico entretenimiento y deportes) y asesorado porRichard Shappy yEddie Imondi.
Por la incertidumbre en el boxeo por la pandemia, Ortiz ’ 2021 el horario es desconocido, pero ya no es el secreto mejor guardado del boxeo, “The Technician” es una auténtica estrella en ascenso.
