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

Toukokuu 4, 2022 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg — **BOSTON (Toukokuu 4, 2022)** – Two-time Dominican Olympian, lightweight Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 KOs), may be settling in the Boston area to enhance his professional boxing career. Itse asiassa, 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’s growing stable of gifted boxers also includes California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 KOs), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (16-0, 11 KOs), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KOs), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 KOs), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (10-1, 5 KOs), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (4-0, 2 KOs), 2-time Brazilian Olympian & 2016 Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, Dominican cruiserweight Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominican super welterweight Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Georgia super middleweight James Hagler, Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), Dominican featherweight Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 KOs), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KOs), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (6-0, 5 KOs), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (3-0, 2 KOs), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-1-1, 2 KOs), Massachusetts super featherweight Alex Rivera (3-0, 2 KOs), Kansas brothers, welterweight Marcus (3-0, 3 KOs) and super lightweight Marcell (1-0), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KOs) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KOs).

Fighter Locker signs Kansas City lightweight prospect Marcell Davidson

Tammikuu 14, 2022 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

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

**BOSTON (Tammikuu 11, 2022)** – Kansas City (KS) lightweight Marcell Davidson has joined his younger brother, undefeated welterweight Marcus Davidson (2-0, 2 KOs), in Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker stable having recently signed an exclusive managerial contract.

The 24-year-old Marcell was a decorated amateur boxer, capturing the Ringside World Championships twice, in addition to winning a gold medal at the 2019 Kansallinen Golden Käsineet Tournament. The 6’ 3” southpaw also won a silver medal at the 2017 National Golden Gloves, as well as a bronze the following year at the The Gloves. He also competed in the Olympic Trials.

Davidson got into boxing almost by accident. He and Marcus were together playing football at a local recreation center. The season ended and they were about to sign up for baseball, when the boxing coach asked them what sport they were going to get into next. He told them that boxers are stronger than football players. Marcus was immediately a convert, but Marcell really wasn’t into it. He just ran around instead of training and eventually he was banned because he broke a rule. Lopulta, Marcell got his act together and he was allowed back in the gym a couple of years later. Both of the Davidson brothers have been there ever since.

As Marcell says, “My brother talks to everybody, and I follow.” So, when Marcus turned pro and signed a managerial contract with Roach, soon afterwards Marcell joined Fighter Locker.

“I was ready to turn pro and stayed in the gym training,” Marcell explained. “We were talking about which manager to sign with. We waited it out and stayed ready. My brother signed before me, and I listened to him talk about Ryan. My brother said Ryan was a great guy and the time was right for me to sign with him, liian.

“Ryan is a great guy. I didn’t know anything about him – not even his family in boxing – but he’s a great guy who wants to help us and build our careers. I could definitely tell that he cares and takes care of his fighters.”

Davidson is slated to make his pro debut Feb. 12^th on “St. Valentine’s Day Massacre,” presented by Vertex Promotions, at Moseley’s On The Charles in Dedham, Massachusetts.
“I’m very excited,” Marcell spoke about his upcoming pro debut. “You won’t see it, but I’m excited inside. I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’d like to stay very busy this year and maybe move up to 6-rounders by my fifth or sixth pro fight.”

“Marcell is a very skilled fighter,” Roach commented about his newest fighter. “One of his best attributes, which I think will be a huge advantage, is hos 6’ 1” height. We have been discussing him fighting at 135-140 kiloa. He is a very athletic, young man with speed and power. He was a nationally ranked fighter who went to the Olympic Qualifiers, so this is a huge signing for my company. I’m excited to have the Davidson brothers under one stable, Fighter Locket. They are very close and do everything together. This will be fun!"

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers also includes California super flyweight Rocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 KOs), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (15-0, 11 KOs), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 KOs), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KOs), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 KOs), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (9-0, 5 KOs), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (3-0, 2 KOs), 2-time Brazilian Olympian & 2016 Olympic silver medalist Yuberjen Martinez, Brazilian Olympian Jorge Vivas, 2-time Dominican Olympian, lightweight Leonel de los Santos (5-0, 5 KOs), Dominican cruiserweight Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Dominican super welterweight Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Dominican featherweight Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 KOs), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KOs), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (5-0, 5 KOs), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (2-0, 2 KOs), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-0-1, 2 KOs) ), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KOs) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KOs).

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

Toukokuu 29, 2021 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

BOSTON (Toukokuu 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.

"Herra. (Sorkkarauta) 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 jaJoselito 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 US-. Under-19 and 2003 Poliisi 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

"Olen 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. kulutin 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 minuuttia, 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. light welterweight, 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.”

Voittamaton RayJay Bermudez: Erittäin kevyt mahdollisuus tutkan alla

Maaliskuu 2, 2021 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

BOSTON (Helmikuu 25, 2020) - voittamatonRayJay “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 (New 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 kanssa 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, pysähtymättäMario Israel Vera round four.

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

Bermudez, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, is trained by his uncle, Hector Bermudez, who has trained five world champions includingTJ Doheny jaJavier 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

Maaliskuu 2, 2021 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

BOSTON (Helmikuu 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, KUTEN, 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, juuri tällä hetkellä, 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 (KUTEN), 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 (Marraskuu. 7, 2020), kun hän lopettiChristian 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, to say the least, 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.”

Voittamaton kevyt potentiaali Jamaikan "Teknikko" Ortiz Ei enää parhaiten salassa Tyson-Jonesin jälkeen, Jr. PPV-esityksen suorituskyky

Joulukuu 20, 2020 FNU47 Jätä kommentti

WORCESTER, Massa. (Joulukuu 14, 2020) - Ennen hänen sensaatiomaista esitystään äskettäisessä Mike Tyson-Roy Jonesissa, Jr. pay-per-view-tapahtuma, voittamaton kevyt mahdollisuusJamainen "teknikko" Ortiz oli nyrkkeilyn parhaiten varjeltu salaisuus. Ei enempää, vaikka, kun Ortiz vakiintui vahvasti nousevaksi tähdeksi lukemattomien fanien edessä 1.6 miljoonaa PPV-ostoa.

Ortiz lensi Bostonista Los Angelesiin kiitospäivänä. Hänet ajettiin hotelliin, missä hän näki heti Jonesin, tarkasti hänen painonsa, ja käveli Staples Centeriin. ”Olin mukava alusta alkaen,”Sanoi nuori taistelija, joka taisteli ensimmäistä kertaa ammattilaisena New Englandin ulkopuolella. ”Olin siellä saadakseni työn valmiiksi. Olin lähetystyössä. Kävelen nähdäksesi Staples Centerin ja se oli siistiä. Juoksin myöhemmin Staples Centerissä ja siellä oli paljon patsaita. Se oli kaunis. Oli hienoa nähdä Lakersin pukuhuone. ”

24-vuotias Ortiz (14-0, 8 KOs), hallitseva maailman nyrkkeilyn maailmanmestari, tyrmäsiSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) jossa on mustelmia aiheuttava kehon hyökkäys, vahingoittamalla vastustajaansa kuudennella kierroksella, ja näyttelyn päättäminen upealla tavalla seitsemännessä avoimelle Maailman nyrkkeilyneuvostolle (WBC) USNBC (US-) Hopea kevyt otsikko. Segawaa ei ollut koskaan aiemmin pysäytetty ammattilaisena.

Ortiz näytti koko arsenaalinsa: jäykkä leuka, salamannopeat kädet ja jalat, siirtyminen edestakaisin vaivattomasti ortodoksisista asennoista eteläkäppiin, rangaistaan koukkuja ylös ja alas, ja tappavimmat kehon laukaukset, jotka on nähty New Englanderista lähtien“Irlantilainen” Micky Ward.

”Olin rauhallinen ja viileä ennen taistelua,”Ortiz lisäsi. ”Haluan mennä taisteluun, henkisesti, kuin se olisi ollut sparrausistunto ja teen aina hyvää. Aloitin ortodoksisessa asennossa, perusti jabini ja käytti sitä paljon. Mielestäni minun olisi pitänyt käyttää sitä enemmän ja olisin voinut lyödä häntä sillä. Kuuntelin valmentajaani (Rocky Gonzalez) ja hän kertoi minulle, milloin vaihtaa. Lävistys on Ei. 1 juttu Rockyn kanssa. En ehkä ole osoittanut sitä melkein yhtä paljon muissa taisteluissa, mutta hän poraa sen minuun koko ajan. Kuudennella kierroksella, hän käski minun mennä enemmän ruumiille, ei halua saada häntä kiinni, ja seitsemännessä minä todella satutin häntä ruumiin.

”Segawa oli ehdottomasti kova. Hän oli lyönyt paljon kavereita, muutama mukaan lukien hän järkytti. Jokainen taistelu on askel, ja olen pahin kriitikkoni. Minusta tuntui, että olisin voinut pudottaa hänet toisella kierroksella, mutta en halunnut mennä pois pelisuunnitelmasta

Ortiz asetti Segawan avainkellosta, mursi hänet alas, ja päätti näyttelyn suurella tyylillä, kun Seqawa loukkaantui ja jäi loukkuun köysiin, ammuten tunnustusta alan arvostetuilta ihmisiltä, kuten"Sokeri" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, ja muut. Ortizin fanikanta kasvoi räjähdysmäisesti, kun nyrkkeilyn fanit ryntäsivät ilmoittautumaan seuraamaan Jamaineita hänen taistelunsa aikana ja sen jälkeen.

”Kerran ihmiset näkivät minun esiintyvän ja tyylini,”Ortiz jatkoi, "He pitivät minusta. Olisin voinut näyttää enemmän ja heittää enemmän yhdistelmiä. Minun piti todella taistella maailman edessä. sain 5,500 uudet Instagram-kukat sinä yönä. Luulen, En ole enää nyrkkeilyn parhaiten varjeltu salaisuus. "

”Päätavoitteemme on voittaa maailman titteli,”Gonzalez kommentoi. ”Tämä oli hauskaa ja hieno tilaisuus, mutta motivaatio olla maailmanmestari on vahvempi. Hän käsitteli tätä taistelua vain yhtenä taisteluna, ja hän seurasi pelisuunnitelmaamme.

"Hänen ruumiinsa laukaukset loivat lopun. Kerron hänelle aina Micky Wardin kehon laukauksista. Sinä tiedät, nyrkkeily on tanssi, salsaa. Nyrkkeilijöiden on tanssittava; En usko, että heidän pitäisi olla vain ortodoksisia. Heidän kaikkien on taisteltava toisella tavalla ja kun Jamaine vaihtoi asenteita kolmannella, hän ei koskaan luovuttanut. Olen kouluttanut häntä kovasti. Olen aina hänen kanssaan ja mikä olisi parempi tapa sulkea minut kuin lopettaa se, kuten hän teki katselukerrasta? Se oli tippa mikrofonin hetki!"

Pandemiasta johtuvan nyrkkeilyn epävarmuuden vuoksi, Ortiz ’ 2021 aikataulua ei tunneta, mutta hän ei ole enää nyrkkeilyn parhaiten varjeltu salaisuus, “Teknikko” on uskollinen nouseva tähti.
