Undefeated RayJay Bermudez: Super lightweight prospect flying under the radar
BOSTON (Февруари 25, 2020) - НепобеденRayJay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 Нокаута) 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 с 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, спиранеMario Israel Vera round four.
Despite his unbeaten run, Bermudez is still fighting under the radar, at least on a national basis, но 2021 promises to be a breakout year for him, разбира се, pending pandemic restrictions in 2021.
Бермудес, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, is trained by his uncle, Hector Bermudez, who has trained five world champions includingTJ Doheny иJavier 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 (Февруари 23, 2021) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has announced it has signed California super flyweightRocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (20-1, 6 Нокаута) to an exclusive managerial contract.
The 33-year-old Santomauro, fighting out of Apple Valley, КАТО, 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, в момента, 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 (КАТО), 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 (Ноември. 7, 2020), когато той спряChristian 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. Нокаутирах го! We did it intelligently and were able to hit all the marks performance-wise.”
Training and fighting during a pandemic have been challenging, меко казано, 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.”
Сега, Roach and Fighter Locker have Santomauro’s back, and his future is promising.

Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. Benefited from sparring with undisputed world lightweight champion Katie Taylor
BOSTON (Февруари 17, 2021) – Boston featherweightТроя Андерсън, Jr. hasn’t made his pro debut yet, but he did get the opportunity to recently spar with undisputed world lightweight championКейти Тейлър (17-0, 6 Нокаута), на 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ireland, who was a 5-time AIBA world champion as an amateur.
The 28-year-old Anderson, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, was supposed to make his pro debut earlier this year in Mexico. He showed up but his opponent tested positive for COVID-19 and their fight was canceled.
Taylor frequently travels from Ireland to Connecticut, where she prepares for fights with her trainer, Ross Enamait.
Андерсън, синдикален работник на Sheetmetal в местен 17, беше украсен аматьор, който спечели златен медал на 2016 Турнир Rocky Marciano, както и The New England’s Tournament два пъти през 2018-2019, и спечели два пъти Централната дивизия на турнира за златни ръкавици в Нова Англия и два пъти подгласник през своята четиригодишна възраст (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.
Anderson benefitted from being a southpaw when his trainer, Марк Гаргаро, was contacted by Enamait about needing a lefthanded sparring partner for Taylor. “I’ve only sparred with her once,” Anderson said, “but I believe I will be getting more work with Katie at her training camp in the near future. I’ve already been asked back for more sparring.
“In the ring, Katie is patient, sharp, and quick with her combinations. She also doesn’t waste any movements all all. She is very tough and aggressive. Outside the ring, she is very nice, always smiling when talking, and a generous, decent human being.”
There’s nothing better for a young boxer than to train and spar with a world-class athlete, even if it’s a female against a male, the experience in invaluable.
I believe getting experience with a world champion helped me build up my confidence. It definitely opened my mind and eyes to trying new things like different movements and combinations, as well as make sure my defense and foot work was on point. Learning to become better at changing the tempo of combinations I was throwing. Also, realizing the things Katie did during and after sparring, understanding her mentality, and letting me know and see what it takes to be the best in the world, will help me grow big-time as a boxer.
“It is a little different sparring a woman but, честно, it helped me work on my craft in areas I’ve been trying to improve on. I am still available to give and get good, solid work and effort. It’s expanding my mind, I was still able to pick and choose when to dig hard shots to make sure I was still solidly sparring for her, unlike with guys’ majority of punches are thrown hard.
Ortiz’ managerРайън Роуч коментира: “This is a great opportunity for Troy. Anytime you share the ring with a world champion, even sparring, is a great way to elevate your level of confidence. As many know there are a lot of levels to this sport and these opportunities are crucial in building a fighter. I am really proud of Troy. His debut got pushed back, but he’s stayed in the gym and remains positive waiting for his shot. He has a great coach and team at Nonantum Boxing.”
Sparring Taylor may not have erased the disappointment of Anderson’s pro debut being canceled; обаче, the experience will surely make him a better fighter.
“Sparring a world champion was unbelievable,” Anderson concluded. “Just having the opportunity to step foot in the ring with world champion Katie Taylor was amazing. Literally, leading up to the day of sparring, that’s all I could focus on and think about. I was extremely locked in, because I wanted to give Katie Taylor good work and show her that reaching out to my coach Marc was not a mistake, and his words about me were solid. Seeing how Katie is when moving, throwing combinations, and on defense picking and choosing when to be aggressive and not, is unexplainable. It was truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the experience and opportunity to be able to spar with a world champion, Katie Taylor”

Richie “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera finds new home in Orlando
Returns to ring Feb. 12тата in Orlando on Christy Martin-promoted card
ORLANDO, Fla. (Февруари 4, 2021) – It seems only appropriate that undefeated cruiserweightRichie “Popeye The Sailor Man” Rivera (18-0, 13 Нокаута) has found a new home in Orlando (FL), although his heart remains in his native Hartford (CT), since he followed his partner/head trainerТони Уайт there nearly six months ago,
“I recently went to Universal Studios and it’s definitely Popeye-friendly,” the charismatic Rivera reported. “They had Popeye rides, souvenirs and novelties. I felt like it’s my part of town.”
Due to financial strains associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hartford Boxing Center (HBC) was closed by the state March 15 and it never reopened. Blanco and his family traveled south to the Sunshine State, where he opened the Orlando Boxing Club (OBC at 7335 Lake Underhill Road in Orlando, Флорида). Soon after “Popeye” packed his bags and joined Blanco.
“The business was bleeding, and I have a family to support,” Blanco explained. “We’ve more or less brought Hartford Boxing Center to Orlando, where there are so many opportunities for us. It is what it is, there was no other way to survive. We’ve turning a negative into a positive.
“It was a cool ride alongside the Hartford community. We were sad to announce the Hartford Boxing Center had closed its doors. We are deeply indebted to Hartford for giving us the opportunity to meet such a loving community that made us feel like family. We will miss each and every one there and, да се надяваме, we left our legacy there in good standing with everyone. We hope everybody stays safe, healthy and continues their goals and dreams The fight continues!"
Florida’s weather alone has advantages over Connecticut, in addition to no state tax, and “Popeye” has taken full advantage as he marches towards the top of the cruiserweight division.
“I’ve taken it all in,” he commented. “Down here I’m able to run in weather when it isn’t freezing or in the snow, although that did make me more of an animal. But it was harder training in Hartford and there are so many reasons not to run and train there. Not in Orlando where I have nothing but quality runs and workouts. I get solid sparring here in Orlando with partners who have different styles and I EVEN went over to the gym owned by my idol, Roy Jones, Jr., in Pensacola.
“It’s especially difficult being here during the pandemic with so many of my family and friends back in Hartford. I’m still showed a lot of love back there where I have my roots. Florida is awesome, but I still have a lot of living left, so we’ll need to wait to see what’s ahead for me in the future.”
Междувременно, Rivera and Blanco found a strong ally and friend in Hall of FamerКристи Мартин, who is now a boxing promoter in Florida and North Carolina. Rivera’s last fight was this past August 15тата in Daytona Beach (FL) on a Martin-promoted card, in which he knocked outRyan Soft in the opening round.
“Popeye” is scheduled to fight on her February 12тата show in Orlando against veteran Mexican fighterUlises “El Cirillo” Jimenez (24-26-1, 18 Нокаута) in an 8-round featured bout.
“This will be the fifth time I’ve fought on one of her cards,” Rivera noted. “She’s awesome. Boxing is a little cutthroat, but I felt comfortable with Christy right away. She doesn’t need to have me fighting on her cards. I’m blessed to have her continue to watch after me. I’m also blessed to have a promoter likeJoe DeGuardia (Star Boxing), especially during this pandemic, because he doesn’t have to let me fight on cards that he doesn’t promote like on February 12th.”
The feeling between Martin and Team Popeye is mutual. “I really like Popeye and Tony,” Martin offered. “He understands that this isn’t all about fighting. Fighters need to market themselves. and everybody here loves Popeye. After each fight he goes to talk to fans, особено децата, sign autographs for them and pose for pictures. There’s nothing like being here in Florida. It’s the best for training. Good weather all around and coming from the north like him, no excuses to work-out because of the cold. He’s improved the basic stuff since I first watched him. He’s keeping his head up, improved his power, and is more relaxed in the ring. He’s certainly headed in the right direction. He hasn’t been in any battles and I think he’s getting ready to take a big leap into a title fight.”
Rivera has benefitted from being promoted by DeGuardia in several ways, including his role as a regular sparring partner for Star Boxing light heavyweightДжо Смит, Jr. (26-3, 21 Нокаута), who is preparing for a Feb. 13тата конфронтация сMaxim Vlasov (45-3 (26 Нокаута) airing on ESPN live from The Bubble in Las Vegas. They will fight for the vacant World Boxing Organization Light Heavyweight Championship of the World.
“’Popeye’ is a colorful character and an exciting fighter who has a very entertaining style,” DeGuardia remarked. “He has a great way about him.”
When asked about putting “Popeye” on Christy’s show, DeGuardia stated: “Every decision is unique and made with a view towards what’s best for both the promoter and fighter. Does it make sense? Is it good for Star Boxing and our fighters? If it fits, I have no problem having our fighter on somebody else’s card. This makes sense for everybody. Christy gets a good, featured fighter on her card, hopefully ‘Popeye’ gets a win, and our fighter stays busy. While in this COVID-19 pandemic a few good wins for your fighter is a good thing,"
His heart may always be in Hartford, but ‘Popeye” Rivera has found a new home in Orlando, and his boxing career continues to rise.

Събитията на Ring City през март ще се излъчват на живо от Пуерто Рико, тъй като компанията продължава да се докосва до богатите исторически места на бокса.
Битката между Бохачук и Адамс първоначално беше планирана да оглави декември 3 Събитие Ring City в боксов клуб Wild Card в Лос Анджелис, но Бохачук беше принуден да се оттегли след положителен тест за COVID-19.
„Развълнувани сме да започнем 2021 с две кръстопътни битки в главното събитие в Пуерто Рико,“, каза шефът на бокса Евън Рутковски. „Сергей Бохачук се опитваше да се върне на ринга и през март 4 той ще срещне най-опасния противник в кариерата си в Брандън Адамс. След това две седмици по-късно се завръщаме в NBC Sports Network и Twitch с нарастващия непобеден перспектива Хектор Танахара, който се бие с бившия световен шампион Алберто Мачадо от Пуерто Рико в класически Мексико срещу. Съперническа битка в Пуерто Рико."
Твърдо удрящият Бохачук, който в момента е седми от WBC и девети от IBF в 154 паунда, е преминал през опозиция по пътя си към an 18-0 рекорд, всички от които са дошли чрез нокаут. Тренировка с Мани Робълс от Legends Boxing Academy, 25-годишният футболист се доказа с победа с нокаут над Тайрън Брънсън през октомври на 2019. Съвсем наскоро, той направи електрическо представление през септември 2020 когато той нокаутира Алехандро Давила в шест рунда. Роденият в Украйна Бохачук, който е повишен от Tom Loeffler's 360 Промоции и Уралски бокс, продължава да извлича бурно света на бокса в Южна Калифорния с доминиращите си изяви на ринга и магнетична личност извън ринга.
„Очаквам с нетърпение да защитя титлата си срещу Брандън Адамс през март 4 в Пуерто Рико по NBC Sports Network,“, каза Бохачук. „Искам да благодаря на Ring City и моите промоутъри за тази възможност. Това трябва да е голяма борба за феновете. Съжалявам, че не можахме да го направим през декември, но сега хората говорят още повече за тази битка. Ще направя още едно вълнуващо шоу за феновете.”
След положителния резултат на Бохачук за COVID-19, Адамс се изправи срещу Сони Дюверсон в главното събитие на Ринг Сити на декември. 3.

Той е популяризиран от Banner Promotions и Tournament of Contenders.
„Очаквам с нетърпение да се върна в Ринг Сити през март и да покажа повече растеж, когато Сергей и аз най-накрая се качим на ринга в Пуерто Рико,“, каза Адамс.
Мачадо (22-2, 18 Нокаута), който е от Рио Пиедрас, Puerto Rico, ще се бие на острова за първи път оттогава 2017 и 14тата време в професионалната си кариера. В 2017, Мачадо спечели световната титла на WBA в полулегка категория срещу Jezreel Corrales чрез нокаут в осмия рунд.

Южната лапа си направи име на пуерториканската аматьорска верига, участва в Световното първенство за младежи на AIBA и 2012 Олимпийски квалификации.
„Това беше тъжна и принудена почивка поради коронавируса, но, за мен, тялото ми се нуждаеше от тази почивка. Вълнувам се, че след четири години ще се върна да се бия отново у дома в Пуерто Рико,“, каза Мачадо. „Благодаря на Miguel Cotto Promotions, H2 промоции, Golden Boy и Ring City USA за това, че ми дадоха тази възможност да оглавя тази страхотна картичка. Хектор Танахара, Jr. е страхотен боец, който се стреми да пробие и в леката категория. Надявам се да дойде готов и това 135 спестява ли моето място, защото ми е мястото тук и на 18 март ще бъде демонстрирано.”
Танахара (19-0, 5 Нокаута) ще се подложи на най-тежкото изпитание в кариерата си, когато срещне Мачадо на родния си терен. Роден и израснал в Сан Антонио, Texas, Танахара (19-0, 5 Нокаута) излиза от битки в родния си град за първи път в професионалната си кариера през януари 2020 когато се изправи срещу бившия претендент за световната титла Хуан Карлос Бургос, когото победи убедително с единодушно решение. 24-годишният футболист продължи да се издига в леката категория, след като се превърна в професионалист 2015. В Мачадо, той ще се изправи пред ново предизвикателство, като се изправи срещу левия боец за първи път в професионалната си кариера от 19 битки. Танахара се бие под ръководството на световноизвестния треньор Робърт Гарсия.
„Вълнувам се да се върна на ринга,“, каза Танахара. „Мина малко повече от година и през цялото време тренирах усилено, за да остана готов за всеки. Най-накрая имаме съперник и аз съм готов да покажа на света кой съм и какво мога да направя с най-добрите момчета в дивизията."
На всички екшън ринга в Пуерто Рико ще се обади бившият двукратен шампион в полусредна категория Шон Портър, към който се присъедини коментаторът на NBC Sports удар по удар Боб Папа. Брайън Кембъл ще служи като анализатор на бойната нощ, а Curran Bhatia ще докладва от ринга.
Пълните данни за картата ще бъдат обявени на по-късна дата.
