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

Mei 4, 2022 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg — **BOSTON (Mei 4, 2022)** – Two-time Dominican Olympian, lightweight Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 KO), may be settling in the Boston area to enhance his professional boxing career. In feite, 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 KO), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (16-0, 11 KO), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 KO), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KO), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 KO), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (10-1, 5 KO), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (4-0, 2 KO), 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 KO), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KO), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (6-0, 5 KO), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (3-0, 2 KO), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-1-1, 2 KO), Massachusetts super featherweight Alex Rivera (3-0, 2 KO), Kansas brothers, welterweight Marcus (3-0, 3 KO) and super lightweight Marcell (1-0), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KO) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KO).

Fighter Locker signs Kansas City lightweight prospect Marcell Davidson

Januari 14, 2022 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

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

**BOSTON (Januari 11, 2022)** – Kansas City (KS) lightweight Marcell Davidson has joined his younger brother, undefeated welterweight Marcus Davidson (2-0, 2 KO), 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 Nationale Golden Gloves toernooi. The 6’ 3” southpaw also won a silver medal at the 2017 Nationale 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. Tenslotte, 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, ook.

“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 pond. 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 KO), New York’s ABF American West super lightweight Ray Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (15-0, 11 KO), Connecticut’s ABF USA super welterweight Jimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (18-5-2, 6 KO), Colorado’s ABF American West super middleweight champion “The Amazing” Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KO), Massachusetts super lightweight Adrian “Tonka” Sosa (12-0, 9 KO), Florida super bantamweight Daniel “The Dedication” Bailey, Jr. (9-0, 5 KO), Massachusetts featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. (3-0, 2 KO), 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 KO), 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 KO), Dominican lightweight Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KO), Florida light heavyweight Robert Daniels, Jr. (5-0, 5 KO), Irish light heavyweight Tommy “The Kid” O’Toole (2-0, 2 KO), Texas super lightweight Miranda “La Alacrana” Reyes (5-0-1, 2 KO) ), and Utah brothers, ABF American West lightweight champion Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KO) and lightweight Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KO).

Mei 29, 2021 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

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.”

20-1 Het supervlieggewicht Rocco Santomauro uit Californië tekent bij Ryan Roach's Fighter Locker

Maart 2, 2021 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

BOSTON (Februari 23, 2021) - Ryan Roach's Fighter Locker heeft aangekondigd dat het supervlieggewicht van Californië heeft getekendRocco "So Cal Kid" Santomauro (20-1, 6 KO) op een exclusief managementcontract.

De 33-jarige Santomauro, vechten uit Apple Valley, ZOALS, rijdt een 7-fight win streak sinds hij zijn enige verlies als professional leed tot toen 14-0Diego De La Hoya bijna vijf jaar geleden.

"Ik ben 33," zei Santomauro, maar ik heb zeker het gevoel dat ik in mijn beste jaren ben. Mijn vaardigheidsniveau is op zijn best en ik ben altijd aan het verbeteren. Als het erop aankomt om daar binnen te komen met topmensen, Ik heb met veel wereldkampioenen in de ring gestaan, buiten gevechten, en ik heb meer dan mijn mannetje gehouden. Het is allemaal een kwestie van timing en ik voel dat de mijne hier is. Ik geloof dat ik op dit moment heel dicht bij een groot gevecht ben met supervlieggewicht. Het is allemaal een kwestie van mezelf in de juiste positie brengen en daar heb ik zin in, nu, Ik heb het juiste team om dit te doen, met Ryan Roach en Fighter Locker die me steunen.

“Ik heb een managementcontract getekend met Ryan en zijn Fighter Locker omdat ik wist dat het een goede zet was. Na mezelf de afgelopen anderhalf jaar te hebben beheerd, Ik wist dat ik betrouwbare hulp nodig had om naar het volgende niveau te gaan. Ryan en ik waren vrienden op sociale media. Ik wist dat hij vechters contracteerde met 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.”

De zoon van een Italiaanse vader die wilde dat zijn zoon een 'dier' was,”Rocco werd geboren met een vechtspirt, agressief van aard als kind, en geïnspireerd doorRocky Marciano. Rocco begon met boksen, grotendeels, door in de voetsporen te treden van zijn oudere broer, die een gedecoreerde amateur-bokser was. Hij bokste voor het eerst vanwege zijn broer, vervolgens via een plaatselijke boksclub in Hesperia (ZOALS), naast het oefenen thuis terwijl hij naar zijn favoriete vechters keek op ESPN Classic.

De amateurcarrière van Santomauro is nooit echt van de grond gekomen. Hij woonde in een gebied met heel weinig boksen, en moest naar de doos reizen, wat ertoe leidde dat hij, toen hij ouder was, besloot om zijn bokscarrière over te nemen door naar Las Vegas te verhuizen. Hij ontwikkelde daar zijn vaardigheden en besloot erin 2009 om prof te worden nadat hij leed aan wat hij voelde als een slechte beslissing bij de USA Nationals.

Een energieke bokser die slim is, agressieve counter puncher, Santomauro controleert ook het lichaam, en brengt opwinding in de ring. Zijn beste gevecht tot nu toe was zijn meest recente (November. 7, 2020), toen hij stopteChristian Omar Henriques (10-4-2) in de zesde ronde van hun gevecht in Tijuana.

“Ik werd ondersteund door Fighter Locker en mijn team,'Merkte Rocco op. “Ik ging gefocust en mentaal goed getraind naar binnen om te doen wat ik moest doen tegen een wedstrijd, jongere tegenstander met een winnend record. Ik heb hem knock-out geslagen! We hebben het intelligent gedaan en konden qua prestaties alle punten halen. "

Trainen en vechten tijdens een pandemie waren een uitdaging, op zijn zachtst gezegd, en een super vlieggewicht zijn, maakt het probleem alleen maar groter.

“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, gesloten voor bijna alle sportscholen, maar dankbaar voor de mogelijkheid om te bezoeken, van tijd tot tijd, de Wild Card Boxing Gym en Churchill Boxing Club. Maar dat was niet wat ik gewend was. Ik moest veel van wat ik 'Rocky 4'-training noem alleen doen om fit te blijven. Ik had ook het geluk om in Mexico goede relaties op te bouwen met mijn promotor, dus ik was gezegend dat ik altijd de mogelijkheid had om bezig te blijven in Tijuana. En ik deed."

Nu, Roach en Fighter Locker hebben de rug van Santomauro, en zijn toekomst is veelbelovend.

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

December 20, 2020 FNU47 Laat een reactie achter

WORCESTER, Massa. (December 14, 2020) – Prior to his sensational performance on the recent Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view gebeurtenis, undefeated lightweight prospectJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz was boxing’s best kept secret. No more, hoewel, 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 KO), the reigning World Boxing Youth World champion, uitgeteldSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KO) 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“Ierse” Micky Ward.

“I was calm and cool before the fight,” Ortiz added. “I like to go into a fight, geestelijk, 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, brak hem neer, 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"Sugar" 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, he never let up. 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 wordt gepromoot doorJimmy Burchfield (Classic Entertainment and Sports) and advised byRichard Shappy enEddie 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.
