20-1 California super flyweight Rocco Santomauro signs with Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker

Efterlad en kommentar

BOSTON (Februar 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, F.EKS, 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, lige nu, 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 (F.EKS), 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 (November. 7, 2020), da han stoppedeChristian 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.”

Nu, Roach and Fighter Locker have Santomauro’s back, and his future is promising.

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers includes, Troy, NY ABF American West super lightweightRay Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez(12-0, 9 KOS), Toronto, Canada welterweight West Haven, CT super welterweightJimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-5-2, 5 KOS), super mellemvægt“The Amazing” Shawn McCalman(6-0, 4 KOS), US. Army super bantamweightDaniel Bailey, Jr. (2-0, 1 KO), letvægtsLeonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 KOS),, en 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, pro-debuting Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr., pro-debuting Dominican Republic welterweight Juan Solano, and Salt Lake City, Utah brothers, super letIgnacio Chairez (7-0-1, 4 KOS) and lightweightGabriel Chairez (3-0, 2 KOS).

CITATER & PICTURES FROM THE NYSBHOF INDUCTEES

 


(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez and Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “I want to thank Ring 8 for the opportunity for me to be here. I’d also like to thank my wife for always being there for me, and my trainer.”

(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski and Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “If I have made any contributions to boxing – I hope I have – I did by redefining record keeping and creating a new perspective on boxing history. I’m proud of that, but I didn’t do it alone.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch and Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “I have so many people to thank for this honor. I’m a Buffalonian. There’s nobody more in favor of one New York, but it’s not. This is special for me because it’s the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame. This solidifies me and makes me think I’m not just a local boy. There was a huge disadvantage coming from a small city, sparring wasn’t the same as in the gyms of New York City, but I had an advantage coming from Western New York. Nobody was welling out like we did in Buffalo with 10,000, derefter 16,00 and finally 18,000 mennesker. They were always behind me and I share this with them because their support made me. My dream was to fight in Buffalo and to continue to fight there.
“One of the highlights of my life was fighting Monte Barrett on HBO in Madison Square Garden. He was one of the greatest fighters in the world who fought for the world title. I always wanted to get my world title shot, but I never got it. That’s okay, I was little bitter for a while, but I couldn’t be happier with my career. The best part of boxing is the brotherhood we share.

(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens and Bob Duffy
RON SCOTT STEVENS: “I know people always say it, but this is the truth: I owe so many people who have supported me throughout my career. Boxing has always been home away from home for me and today I feel like I’m home.
“Jeg var 30, living in Brooklyn Heights, and back driving a taxi a waiting on tables. A light went off in my head: boxing is the sport of the underdog and I’m an underdog. The next day I went to Gleason’s Gym – the center of the universe. I made my way around all the gyms in the city, meeting promoters, managers and trainers. I started making matches for promoters and then Cedric Kushner hired me from 1980-2002. I 2002, I got a call to work for the New York State Athletic Commission as its Community Co-Ordinator and Director of Boxing. Derefter, I was made chairman and I served two terms. I dag, I’m extremely proud to be part of the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame.

(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman and Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “I can’t believe this crowd. In order to do what we do, the sacrifices and support you get from your family is so important and (in Goodman’s case) was for so many years. They allowed us to do what we do. All of us love boxing!”

(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Al Cole, Clay Jenkins and Bob Duffy
AL COLE: “I thought boxing was the stupidest and dumbest sport ever. Who wanted to get punched in the face? I started boxing late. I played around some and people said I was pretty good. I started boxing when I was 20, in the Army, stationed at Ft. Hood. Four years later, I was on the Olympic Team. The reason why is I had a great sparring partner, Ray Mercer. If I was going to be in the ring everyday with Ray, I was either going to get beat up, or get better.
“I remember Bob Arum giving me his business card. I didn’t know him. I only knew of three people in boxing: Don King, Muhammad Ali og Sugar Ray Leonard. I didn’t follow boxing and the only reason I boxed was I would have had to sleep in the woods if I didn’t (in Army). Boxing is: hit him, before he hits me.”

(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin and Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “I want to thank the board. I’m going to be 70 and started in boxing when I was 18. It created a new direction in my life. I’m so proud to be in company with guys who didn’t just talk it, they loved it. If you really love this sport, you really have to learn it. Any man who stepped in the ring, plus all the roadwork, time in the gym and sacrificing what they eat, did it to be the best they can be.
“I boksning, you’re not going to win every fight, but whether a fighter wins or loses, if he gives 100-percent, he’s a winner. They work a job, run five miles day, workout at the gym, and then went home to spend time with his family. Friends and family always have your back.”

(L-R) – Darryl Peoples & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “I’m speechless. It’s wonderful. Randy (former NYSAC chairperson Gordon), do you remember this story? There were only three judges and, desværre, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to worki aften. I said that I wasn’t licensed and couldn’t do it. Randy said, ‘Raise your right hand’, and it was on. I was thrown in there, but it was okay.
“My greatest accomplishments are my children and husband. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. Og Ralph Petrillo is part of my family; he was my second in command. I also had the best officials: deputy commissioners, inspectors, judges and referees. I wouldn’t be here with without them. Bob Duffy put this whole thing together. I personally think he’s amazing. My journey continues, I am blessed.”

Son/father Bob & Murray Goodman to be inducted into Class of 2018 New York State Boxing Hall of Fame

Efterlad en kommentar
Søndag, April 29, Induktion Dinner
Kid Chocolate, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe and Sam Taub head new class

(L-R) – Bob and Murray Goodman
NEW YORK (Marts 26, 2018) – Boxing lifers Bob Goodman og hans far, den sene Murray Goodman, are among 23 members of the Class of 2018 being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) på Søndag eftermiddag (12:30-5:30 p.m. OG), April 29.
The seventh annual NYSBHOF induction dinner will be held once again at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, New York.
A legendary boxing publicist, Murray Goodman (Bronx) brought his son into the sweet science when Bob was only eight years old. The rest was historic for the Goodmans, who are both inductees in several Halls of Fame, including the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
“This is a great honor for me and my father,” Bob said. “I wish he were alive today to be there. I’m a boxing lifer. I was eight years old going to all the training camps with my father, who was a boxing writer and sports editor for the INS (Hearst News Service) service. The joke is I was conceived at Grossinger’s (Catskill Resort Hotel training camp). Boxing just came into my life. My dad and I had some businesses in promotions and public relations, all different kinds of sports-related businesses, but there was always boxing.
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world. I was brought up doing the very things I loved. How many people can say that? I met and became friends with Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano and so many others. I’d stay in camps for weeks. I’d get up to run with the boxers and got a chance to be around my heroes. I also got to know trainers and others in boxing and later fans. I got to know everybody. I was brought up in boxing, my whole life was boxing, 65 years in the business.”
Bob is, måske, best known as Vice President and Matchmaker for Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), as well as a quarter-century serving as Vice President of Boxing Operations, Matchmaker and Director of Public Relations for Don King Productions. He also promoted many world champions as President of his own company, Garden State Boxing.
“I remember going away to training camps for weeks at a time,” the 78-year-old Goodman fondly remembered. “I’d take pictures, write stories every day and use my telecopier to send them to AP and UPI. I did so much being brought up un the business, even loading trucks up with chairs, ringen, speakers and more. My father was the Publicity Director for the International Boxing Club at Madison Square Garden. I worked there when I was a teenager.
“I’m honored to be inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame with my father and so many boxing guys. They’re different from people in any other sports. One of the awards I’ve won that I’m most proud of is the James J. Walker Memorial Award for Long and Meritorious Service to Boxing (BWAA in 1960).
“I’m fortunate to have transcended various eras in boxing. It was a different world back then, we had 20-30 writers stay for weeks at training camps. I got to know old-time boxers and trainers.”

God Mand, who served in the U.S. Coast Guard from 1958-62, stays active today working with veterans’ groups. He is President of the Weymouth Township Veteran’s Advisory Board, and also active with the American Legion and part of the Honor Guard with the Korean War Veterans Association.

Bob Goodman (længst til højre) was inducted into the IBHOF in 2009, his father Murray in 1999

FNU COMBAT SPORTS SHOW: Lou Duva Hyldest Show, Den psykiske Tom Padgett knuser UFC absolut 209 Forudsigelser, Garcia vs. Thurman resumé og analyse

Efterlad en kommentar

Tony Penecale (venstre) og Lou Duva (højre) ved Brockton, Massachusetts dedikation af Rocky Marciano-statuen.

Vores show i denne uge var dedikeret til Lou Duva (over højre med vores co-vært Tony Penecale). Lou døde tidligere på ugen i den modne alderdom af 1994. Han var en stor ven for Rocky Marciano, en promotor af 19 verdensmestre, og en mand, der havde alle sine jern i den ene ild, der tændte hans liv: boksning. Arrangøren / træner / manager / legende dukkede op på FNU Combat Sports-showet år tilbage, men desværre er lyden kornet og plettet. Hvis du lytter nøje til ædelstene, opvejer vores tale op til de svære steder at høre.

Det fulde Lou Duva-interview er her:

LAS VEGAS (Syv. 13, 2015) – Floyd “Penge” Mayweather udført en sidste mesterværk på lørdag lever videre SHOWTIME PPV® i, hvad han insisterer var den sidste kamp i hans fornemme 19-årige karriere.
Før 13,395 fans på MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mayweather forbedres 49-0 (26 KOS), matcher referatet af afdøde sværvægter mester Rocky Marciano med en 12-round beslutning i løbet af tidligere to-tiden weltervægt verdensmester Andre Berto (30-4, 23 KOS). I total kontrol fra starten, Mayweather sejrede ved snesevis af 120-108, 118-110 og 117-111.
Efter den endelige bell, Mayweather faldt på knæ i afspejling af hans sidste handling.
“Du er nødt til at vide, hvornår de skal hænge det op,” han fortalte SHOWTIME s Jim Gray i ringen bagefter. “Jeg banker på døren; Jeg er tæt på 40 år.
“Jeg har været i denne sport 19 år, været en verdensmester 18 år, brød alle optegnelser. Der er ikke noget andet at bevise i sporten i boksning.
“Min 49-0 post er en del af boksning. Registreringer er lavet til at blive brudt. Forhåbentlig en dag vi kan finde den næste Floyd Mayweather.
“Nu er det tid til at tilbringe tid med min familie og børn, sørg de får den rette uddannelse. Jeg vil også gerne hjælpe krigere under Mayweather Promotions banneret.
“Jeg forlader sporten med alle mine fakulteter; Jeg er stadig skarp og smart. Jeg har opnået alt i denne sport, der er intet andet at udrette.
“Penge gør ikke mig. Jeg tjener penge.
“Jeg ønsker ikke at rangere mig selv, men jeg er den bedste til boksning.
“Jeg vil gerne takke alle de fans, der kom ud for at støtte denne begivenhed. For 19 år, jeg ville ikke være i stand til at gøre det uden disse fans.
“Andre Berto har hjerte, en enorm hage. Han ville ikke fastsætte, det var en god kamp. Han var en hård konkurrent, men erfaringen spillet en stor rolle i aften. Hvad kan jeg sige? I was the better man tonight. Det betyder ikke noget, hvis jeg såre min venstre eller min højre hånd, min karriere er forbi. Det er officielt.”
Berto var tilfreds med sin præstation, men indrømmede han ikke var på Mayweather niveau.
“Erfaring spillede en stor rolle i denne kamp,” sagde han. “Jeg vil gerne takke hele mit hold, min familie og alle Haiti, der er at se.
“Jeg var i form til denne kamp; han var bare svært at holde på. Han er glat. Jeg brugte en masse fart, men han er rigtig snu. Han var ved hjælp af små ting at få mig fra min rytme.
“En fyr som mig har en masse stolthed. I told him that every time I caught him with a good shot that I was here to stay. I put on a great performance, skubbede ham til grænsen. Men, vi faldt kort.”
I den anden af ​​to verden titel kæmper på pay-per-view undercard, Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-2-3, 17 KOS) beholdt sin WBO Junior Letvægts titel med en spændende 12-round flertal uafgjort i en omkamp mod fire-tiden verdensmester Orlando “Siri” Afgået(42-13-3, 29 KOS).
Picking up, hvor de slap, da de kæmpede i en kamp af året kandidat april sidste år, vundet af Martinez, begge krigere udvekslede slag for 36 minutter af glubske handling. Hver gik ned i tredje runde. Ved afslutningen af ​​en slugfest, hvor mere end 1,700 slag blev kastet, en dommer scoret det til Martinez (115-113), Havde en Salido (115-113) foran og den anden kaldte det selv (114-114).
Både Martinez og Salido troede, at de skulle have fået afgørelsen, og går ind for en tredje kamp.
“Jeg absolut vundet kampen,” Said Martinez, der var at gøre den første forsvar i sin tredje tørn som WBO Junior Letvægts verdensmester. “De talte et knockdown, der ikke var virkelig en knockdown.
“Han kastede en masse slag, men de fleste af dem ikke forbinde, de landede på mine arme. Hvor du ønsker at tredje kamp mellem os, Jeg vil tage det.”
Said Salido, en to-tiden fjerlette verdensmester, der var aggressoren hele og leveret mere end 1,000 punches, “Jeg gjorde alt arbejdet, og jeg troede, at jeg vandt kampen. Jeg troede de første par runder var endnu, men så tog jeg kontrollen over kampen bagefter.
“Jeg var helt sikkert på udkig efter mesterskabet. Som I alle så jeg kastede flere af de slag, og jeg troede, at jeg vandt kampen.
“Jeg dedikeret så meget for denne kamp, for dem at tage det væk fra mig er ikke fair. Bestemt, Jeg er klar til en tredje kamp.”
I en anden verden titel kamp, Badou Jack “The Ripper” (20-1-1, 12 KOS) held forsvarede sin WBC Super Mellemvægt verden titel med en hård, crowd-glædeligt 12-round flertalsafgørelser løbet obligatoriske udfordrer “Saint” George Groves (21-3, 16 KOS). Donkraft, der faldt Groves sent i første runde, sejrede af snesevis af 116-111, 115-112 og 113-114. Den hårde-held Groves, der brat flygtede ringen i vantro efter annonceringen, faldt til 0-3 i verden titel slagsmål.
Jack var imponerende i, hvad der kan have været hans hårdeste kamp til dato.
“Groves har en masse hjerte,” sagde Jack, der var at gøre den indledende forsvar af WBC bælte han tog fra Anthony Dirrell i april.
“Karosseriarbejde bliver min underskrift. Jeg var ikke effektive nok, fordi jeg ikke kunne slå ham ud. Jeg følte efter den første runde, jeg kunne, men jeg kunne bare ikke. Jeg gik ikke til kroppen nok.
“Jeg har ikke tænkt på min næste kamp endnu, men der er en masse store kampe for mig. Jeg hørte Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ønsker at kæmpe mig. Jeg ønsker at nyde denne sejr, men jeg vil kæmpe nogen.”
Sejren var Jack fjerde i træk, siden at lide den enlige tabet af sin karriere på en chokerende første runde knockout tab til Derek Edwards i februar 2014.
Groves, hvis eneste andre tab var i back-to-back kampe mod daværende verdensmesterCarl Froch, bestred ikke knockdown men havde et problem med afgørelsen.
“Jeg troede, jeg vandt kampen afgørende,” sagde han. “Jeg troede, jeg kontrollerede kampen med min jab og at jeg var i kontrol i hele, selv, it appeared closer to the judges.
“Det var en legit knockdown i første runde. Han landede højre over toppen, men jeg har god kondition, og jeg troede, jeg fik tilbage i kontrol over denne runde. Men alle kredit til ham selv scorer det knockdown i første runde.
“Tillykke til Badou. Jeg håber, at han har en vellykket regeringstid som mester. Jeg ville elske at bekæmpe ham igen, og forhåbentlig vil jeg gøre bedre næste gang. Jeg vil tage lidt tid at finde ud af, hvad der bliver det næste. At miste en verden titel kamp er den værste følelse i verden.”
Puerto Rico Jonathan “Støv” Oquendo (26-4, 16 KOS) overvandt en første runde knockdown, scorede et knockdown af sin egen og ked tidligere to-division verdensmesterJhonny Gonzalez (58-10, 49 KOS). Oquendo won a 10-round majority decision in a good action fight that opened the pay-per-view telecast. Oquendo vandt den største anfald af sin karriere ved at snesevis af 95-93, en out-of-line 98-90 og 94-94.
For Oquendo, sejren i sin sjette optræden på MGM Grand Garden Arena var den 12th i hans sidste 14 slagsmål.
“Jeg føler mig meget glad,” Said Oquendo, som er faldet med en venstre hook med ca. et minut tilbage i den første. “Jhonny Gonzalez er en stor mester. I knew I had to throw a lot of punches and work to get inside to get the victory. I was able to implement that game plan tonight.”
Gonzalez, en tidligere to-tiden WBC fjerlette og WBO Bantamvægt verdensmester, blev utilfreds med den scoring samt alle de utilsigtede headbutts. Han blev droppet ved et lige højre hånd om 2:00 mark i den anden.
“Dommerne begunstiget ham for meget,” Gonzalez sagde. “Han holdt hovedet butting mig. Det bare ikke gå godt. Så snart han bankede mig ned, intet skete. Jeg fik lige højre back up.”
I en kamp Lørdag at luftet i løbet af “NEDTÆLLING LIVE” på SHOWTIME før pay-per-view telecast, mangeårige junior mellemvægt contender Vanerne Martirosyan (36-2-1, 21 KOS), af Glendale, Calif., scorede to knockdowns undervejs til at vinde en 10-round flertalsafgørelser i tidligere IBF 154-pund mester Ische Smith (27-8, 12 KOS) af Las Vegas, af snesevis af 97-91 to gange og 95-95.
“I feel awesome. I worked hard and it paid off. I hadn’t seen my family in 10 uger. I was in training in the Bay Area,” Martirosyan sagde. “Var spiser 100 jabs en runde. I knew he was a Mayweather fighter and I was going into the fight already down five rounds.
“Jeg vidste, jeg var nødt til at vinde. Min hjørne fortalte mig at gå ind og have det sjovt, men jeg ønskede at slå ham ud.
“Jeg vidste så snart jeg landede den første knockdown, at jeg var nødt til at holde vil. Jeg troede ikke, han ville komme op fra den anden knockdown. Han havde aldrig blevet droppet før. Han har kæmpet en masse gode krigere og jeg faldt ham to gange.”
Smith, den første indfødte Las Vegan at indfange en verden titel, følte kampen var meget strammere.
“Den første knockdown var ikke alvorligt. Han har lige fanget mig i baghovedet. Den anden var legit, men jeg stod op klar til at komme tilbage på ham,” Smith sagde.
“Seks point er latterligt. Jeg troede, det var tættere på 95-95 eller 95-94. Jeg syntes bare det var meget tættere end de to dommere, og min hjørne holdes fortæller det var virkelig tæt. Men vi forventede en hård kamp ud af (Martirosyan). Han er lang, rangy og en god puncher, men det er derfor jeg ønskede at komme indenfor og bekæmpe ham der.
“Jeg kæmpede et helvede af en kamp mod Ingen. 3-rangeret fighter i vores division. Jeg har en masse forladt. Jeg skubber disse fyre til grænsen. Jeg tager ikke noget fra ham. Han er en af ​​de bedste i verden, og jeg er en tidligere verdensmester. Vi gav fans en stor kamp i aften, og jeg vil være tilbage igen snart.”
