Marvin Cordova, Jr. & Robert Daniels, Jr. Join Fighter Locker stable
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.
"M. (Pince-monseigneur) 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 etJoselito 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
«Je suis 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 procès-verbal, 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 au quatrième tour, adding to his awards display case that also includes his Interim WBC Youth World, WBA NABA U.S. super-légers, 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, Floride, 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, Bailey Daniel (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 (Février 25, 2020) – InvaincuRayJay “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 (FBA) 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 avec 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, arrêtMario Israel Vera round four.
Despite his unbeaten run, Bermudez is still fighting under the radar, at least on a national basis, mais 2021 promises to be a breakout year for him, bien sûr, 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 etJavier 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 (Février 23, 2021) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has announced it has signed California super flyweightRocco «So Cal Kid» Santomauro (20-1, 6 KOs) à un contrat de gestion exclusif.
The 33-year-old Santomauro, fighting out of Apple Valley, COMME, 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, maintenant, 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 (COMME), 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 (Novembre. 7, 2020), quand il a arrêtéChristian 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. je l'ai assommé! We did it intelligently and were able to hit all the marks performance-wise.”
Training and fighting during a pandemic have been challenging, Pour dire le moins, 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.”
Maintenant, Roach and Fighter Locker have Santomauro’s back, and his future is promising.

Jamaine «The Technician» Ortiz, espoir léger invaincu, n'est plus le secret le mieux gardé après Tyson-Jones, Jr. Performance du spectacle PPV
WORCESTER, Masse. (Décembre 14, 2020) - Avant sa performance sensationnelle sur le récent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view événement, perspective légère invaincueJamaine «Le technicien» Ortiz était le secret le mieux gardé de la boxe. Pas plus, bien que, alors qu'Ortiz s'est fermement établi comme une étoile montante devant d'innombrables fans parmi les 1.6 millions d'achats PPV.
Ortiz a volé de Boston à Los Angeles pour Thanksgiving. Il a été conduit à son hôtel, où il a immédiatement vu Jones, vérifié son poids, et a marché jusqu'au Staples Center. «J'étais à l'aise dès le départ,”A déclaré le jeune combattant qui combattait pour la première fois en tant que professionnel en dehors de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. «J'étais là pour faire le travail. J'étais en mission. Je marche pour voir le Staples Center et c'était cool. Plus tard, j'ai couru autour du Staples Center et il y avait beaucoup de statues. C'était beau. C'était cool de voir les vestiaires des Lakers.
Ortiz, 24 ans (14-0, 8 KOs), le champion du monde de boxe junior en titre, assomméSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KOs) avec une attaque corporelle meurtrière, blesser son adversaire au sixième tour, et clôturer le spectacle de façon spectaculaire le septième pour le Conseil mondial de boxe vacant (WBC) USNBC (U.S.) Titre léger en argent. Segawa n'avait jamais été arrêté en tant que professionnel.
Ortiz a montré son arsenal global: jab raide, mains et pieds rapides comme l'éclair, passer sans effort d'une position orthodoxe à une position gaucher, punir les crochets de haut en bas, et les coups de corps les plus meurtriers vus d'un Néo-englandais depuisMicky Ward «irlandais».
«J'étais calme et cool avant le combat,»Ajouta Ortiz. «J'aime me battre, mentalement, comme si c'était une séance d'entraînement et je fais toujours du bien. J'ai commencé dans une position orthodoxe, établi mon jab et l'a beaucoup utilisé. Je pense que j'aurais dû l'utiliser davantage et que j'aurais pu le battre avec. J'ai écouté mon coach (Rocky Gonzalez) et il m'a dit quand changer. Le poinçonnage du corps est le non. 1 chose avec Rocky. Je ne l'ai peut-être pas montré autant dans d'autres combats, mais il me le perce tout le temps. Au sixième tour, il m'a dit d'aller plus vers le corps, ne cherche pas à l'attraper, et au septième je l'ai vraiment blessé au corps.
«Segawa était vraiment difficile. Il avait battu beaucoup de gars, dont quelques-uns, il a bouleversé. Chaque combat est un tremplin et je suis mon pire critique. J'ai senti que j'aurais pu l'assommer au deuxième tour, mais je ne voulais pas sortir du plan de match
Ortiz a installé Segawa depuis la cloche d'ouverture, lui est tombé en panne, et a terminé le spectacle en grand style alors que Seqawa était blessé et piégé sur les cordes, attirer les félicitations de personnes hautement respectées dans l'industrie, telles que«Sucre» Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, et d'autres. La base de fans d'Ortiz a augmenté de façon exponentielle alors que les fans de boxe se sont précipités pour s'inscrire pour suivre Jamaine pendant et après son combat d'évasion.
«Une fois que les gens m'ont vu jouer et mon style,»Ortiz a continué, «Ils m'aimaient. J'aurais pu montrer plus et lancer plus de combinaisons. J'avais vraiment besoin de me battre devant le monde. j'ai eu 5,500 de nouvelles fleurs Instagram ce soir-là. je suppose, Je ne suis plus le secret le mieux gardé de la boxe. "
«Notre objectif principal est de remporter un titre mondial,»A commenté Gonzalez. «C'était amusant et une excellente opportunité, mais la motivation pour être champion du monde est plus forte. Il a traité ce combat comme juste un autre combat, et il a suivi notre plan de match.
«Ses coups de corps ont créé la fin. Je lui parle toujours des coups de corps de Micky Ward. Tu sais, la boxe est une danse, une salsa. Les boxeurs ont besoin de danser; Je ne pense pas qu’ils devraient être simplement orthodoxes. Ils ont tous besoin de se battre dans l'autre sens et quand Jamaine a changé de position dans le troisième, il ne laisse jamais place. Je l’ai entraîné dur. Je suis toujours sur lui et quel meilleur moyen de me faire taire que de terminer comme il l'a fait à la télévision? C'était une goutte le moment du microphone!"
Ortiz est promu parJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment et des Sports) et conseillé parRichard Shappy etEddie Imondi.
En raison de l'incertitude dans la boxe due à la pandémie, Ortiz » 2021 le calendrier est inconnu, mais il n’est plus le secret le mieux gardé de la boxe, «The Technician» est une véritable étoile montante.
