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

Legg igjen 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, SLIK AS, 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, akkurat nå, 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 (SLIK AS), 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 stoppetChristian 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.”

Nå, 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 mellomvekt“The Amazing” Shawn McCalman(6-0, 4 KOs), US-. Army super bantamweightDaniel Bailey, Jr. (2-0, 1 KO), letteLeonel 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, superlettIgnacio Chairez (7-0-1, 4 KOs) and lightweightGabriel Chairez (3-0, 2 KOs).

SITATER & 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, deretter 16,00 and finally 18,000 folk. 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. Deretter, 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.
“In boxing, 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, dessverre, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to worki kveld. 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

Søndag, April 29, Induksjon Middag
Kid Chocolate, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe and Sam Taub head new class

(L-R) – Bob and Murray Goodman
NEW YORK (Mars 26, 2018) – Boxing lifers Bob Goodman og hans far, sent 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 ettermiddag (12:30-5:30 pm. 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) tjeneste. 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, kanskje, 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.”

Goodman, 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 (helt til høyre) was inducted into the IBHOF in 2009, his father Murray in 1999

FNU COMBAT SPORTS SHOW: Lou Duva Tribute Show, Psychic Tom Padgett absolutely crushes UFC 209 Predictions, Garcia vs. Thurman Recap and Analysis

Legg igjen en kommentar

Tony Penecale (venstre) and Lou Duva (rett) at the Brockton, Massachusetts dedication of the Rocky Marciano statue.

Our show this week was dedicated to Lou Duva (above right with our co-host Tony Penecale). Lou died earlier this week at the ripe old age of 1994. He was a great friend to Rocky Marciano, a promoter of 19 verdensmestere, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: boksing. The promoter/trainer/manager/legend appeared on the FNU Combat Sports show years back, but unfortunately the audio is grainy and spotty. If you listen closely the gems our talk contains outweigh the difficult spots to hear.

The full Lou Duva interview is here:

I’m also posting a couple specific remastered clips here:

 

 

 

 

 

Tom, Tony and Rich also recap Garcia vs. Thurman, The latest on Mayweather vs. McGregor, UFC 209 and the many controversies attached, GSP’s dark warning about weight cutting, and Tony Bellew’s shocking upset of David Haye.

LAS VEGAS (Sju. 13, 2015) – Floyd “Penger” Mayweather utføres en siste mesterverk på lørdag leve på SHOWTIME PPV® i det han insisterer var den siste kampen av hans fremragende 19-årige karriere.
Før 13,395 fans på MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mayweather forbedret til 49-0 (26 KOs), matche rekorden til den avdøde tungvekt Rocky Marciano med en 12-runde avgjørelse i løpet av tidligere to-tiden weltervekt verdensmester Andre Berto (30-4, 23 KOs). Full kontroll fra første stund, Mayweather var seierrik av resultatet av 120-108, 118-110 og 117-111.
Etter den siste bell, Mayweather falt på kne i refleksjon av hans siste akt.
“Du må vite når du skal henge den opp,” Han fortalte Showtime Jim Gray i ringen etterpå. “Jeg banket på døren; Jeg er nær 40 år.
“Jeg har vært i denne sporten 19 år, vært en verdensmester 18 år, brøt alle rekorder. Det er ingenting annet å bevise i sporten boksing.
“Min 49-0 Rekorden er en del av boksing. Poster er til for å brytes. Forhåpentligvis en dag kan vi finne den neste Floyd Mayweather.
“Nå er det tid til å tilbringe tid med min familie og barn, sørg for at de får riktig utdanning. Jeg ønsker også å bidra til at jagerfly under Mayweather Kampanjer banner.
“Jeg drar sporten med alle mine fakulteter; Jeg er fortsatt skarp og smart. Jeg har oppnådd alt i denne sporten, det er ingenting annet å gjøre.
“Penger gjør meg ikke. Jeg tjene penger.
“Jeg ønsker ikke å rangere meg selv, men jeg er best på boksing.
“Jeg ønsker å takke alle fans som kom ut for å støtte dette arrangementet. For 19 år jeg ikke ville være i stand til å gjøre det uten disse viftene.
“Andre Berto har hjerte, en enorm hake. Han ville ikke legge ned, det var en god kamp. Han var en tøff konkurrent, men erfaring spilt en stor rolle i kveld. Hva kan jeg si? I was the better man tonight. Det spiller ingen rolle om jeg vondt min venstre eller høyre hånd, min karriere er over. Det er offisielt.”
Berto var fornøyd med sin opptreden, men innrømmet han var ikke på Mayweather nivå.
“Erfaring spilte en stor rolle i denne kampen,” han sa. “Jeg vil takke min hele teamet, min familie og alle Haiti som ser.
“Jeg var i form til denne kampen; han var bare vanskelig å holde på. Han er glatt. Jeg brukte mye fart, men han er ekte crafty. Han brukte små ting for å få meg av min rytme.
“En fyr som meg har mye stolthet. 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, dyttet ham til grensen. Men, vi kom til kort.”
I den andre av to verdens tittel kamper på pay-per-view undercard, Roman “Rocky” Martinez (29-2-3, 17 KOs) beholdt sin WBO Junior Lett tittel med en spennende 12-runde flertall uavgjort i en omkamp mot fire ganger verdensmester Orlando “Siri” Departed(42-13-3, 29 KOs).
Plukke opp der de slapp da de kjempet i en Fight of the Year kandidat i april i fjor, vunnet av Martinez, både jagerfly utvekslet slag for 36 minutter av glupsk aksjon. Hver gikk ned i tredje runde. Ved slutten av en slugfest, der mer enn 1,700 slag ble kastet, én dommer scoret det for Martinez (115-113), Hadde en Salido (115-113) foran og den andre kalles det enda (114-114).
Både Martinez og Salido trodde de skulle ha fått avgjørelsen og er i favør av en tredje kamp.
“Jeg definitivt vunnet kampen,” Said Martinez, som var å gjøre den første forsvar i sin tredje periode som WBO Junior Lett verdensmester. “De regnet en knockdown som ikke var virkelig en knockdown.
“Han kastet en rekke slag, men de fleste av dem ikke koble, de landet på armene mine. Hvor du vil at tredje kamp mellom oss, Jeg tar det.”
Said Salido, en to-tiden fjærvekt verdensmester som var den aggressive hele og levert mer enn 1,000 punches, “Jeg gjorde alt arbeidet, og jeg trodde jeg vant kampen. Jeg trodde de første par rundene var selv, men da jeg tok kontroll over kampen etterpå.
“Jeg var definitivt ute etter mesterskapet. Som dere så jeg kastet mer av slag, og jeg trodde jeg vant kampen.
“Jeg viet så mye for denne kampen, for dem å ta det bort fra meg er ikke rettferdig. Definitivt, Jeg er klar for en tredje kamp.”
I en annen verden tittelen kampen, Badou Jack “The Ripper” (20-1-1, 12 KOs) forsvarte sin WBC Super mellomvekt verden tittel med et hardt kjempet, folkemengde-tiltalende 12-runde flertallsvedtak i løpet av obligatorisk challenger “Saint” George Groves (21-3, 16 KOs). Jekk, som droppet Groves sent i første runde, triumf av resultatet av 116-111, 115-112 og 113-114. Den hardt flaks Groves, som brått flyktet ringen i vantro etter kunngjøringen, falt til 0-3 i verdens tittelkamper.
Jack var imponerende i det som kan ha vært hans tøffeste kamp hittil.
“Groves har mye hjerte,” sa Jack, som var å gjøre den første forsvar av WBC beltet han tok fra Anthony Dirrell i april.
“Karosseri blir min signatur. Jeg var ikke effektive nok fordi jeg ikke kunne slå ham ut. Jeg følte at etter den første runden jeg kunne, men jeg kunne bare ikke. Jeg gikk ikke til kroppen nok.
“Jeg har ikke tenkt på mitt neste kamp ennå, men det er mange store kamper for meg. Jeg hørte Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ønsker å kjempe meg. Jeg ønsker å nyte denne seieren, men jeg vil kjempe noen.”
Seieren var Jack fjerde på rad siden lider lone tapet av sin karriere på en sjokkerende første runde knockout tap til Derek Edwards i februar 2014.
Groves, hvis eneste andre tap var i back-to-back kamper mot daværende verdensmesterCarl Froch, ikke bestride knockdown, men hadde et problem med vedtaket.
“Jeg trodde jeg vant kampen besluttsomt,” han sa. “Jeg trodde jeg hadde kontroll på kampen med min jab, og at jeg hadde kontroll hele, skjønt, it appeared closer to the judges.
“Det var en legit knockdown i første runde. Han landet på høyre hånd over toppen, men jeg har god kondisjon, og jeg tenkte at jeg fikk tilbake kontrollen over den runden. Men all kreditt til ham selv om ledelsen med knockdown i første runde.
“Gratulerer til Badou. Jeg håper han har en vellykket regjere som mester. Jeg ville elske å bekjempe ham igjen, og forhåpentligvis vil jeg gjøre bedre neste gang. Jeg kommer til å ta litt tid å finne ut hva som er neste. Å miste en VM-tittel kamp er den verste følelsen i verden.”
Puerto Rico Jonathan “Dust” Oquendo (26-4, 16 KOs) vant en første runde knockdown, scoret en knockdown av sin egen og opprørt tidligere to-divisjon 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 vant den største anfall av sin karriere ved å score til 95-93, en ut-av-line 98-90 og 94-94.
For Oquendo, seieren i sin sjette opptreden på MGM Grand Garden Arena var 12th i hans siste 14 kamper.
“Jeg føler meg veldig glad,” Said Oquendo, som ble droppet av en venstre hook med omtrent ett minutt igjen i 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 fjærvekt og WBO bantamvekt verdensmester, var misfornøyd med å score, samt alle de utilsiktede headbutts. Han ble droppet av en rett høyre hånd på omtrent 2:00 mark av andre.
“Dommerne favoriserte ham for mye,” Gonzalez sa. “Han holdt hodet stangar meg. Det bare ikke gå bra. Så snart han banket meg ned, ingenting skjedde. Jeg fikk helt rett opp igjen.”
I en kamp Lørdag som ble sendt i løpet av “NEDTELLING LIVE” på SHOWTIME før pay-per-view sendingen, årige junior mellomvekt kandidat Skovler Martirosyan (36-2-1, 21 KOs), av Glendale, Calif., scoret to knockdowns på vei til å vinne en 10-runde flertallsvedtak i løpet av tidligere IBF 154-pound mester Ishe Smith (27-8, 12 KOs) av Las Vegas, av resultatet av 97-91 to ganger, og 95-95.
“I feel awesome. I worked hard and it paid off. I hadn’t seen my family in 10 uker. I was in training in the Bay Area,” Martirosyan sa. “Ble spiser 100 jabs en runde. I knew he was a Mayweather fighter and I was going into the fight already down five rounds.
“Jeg visste at jeg måtte vinne. Mitt hjørne fortalte meg å gå inn og ha det gøy, men jeg ønsket å slå ham ut.
“Jeg visste at så snart jeg landet den første knockdown at jeg måtte holde det gående. Jeg trodde ikke han ville komme opp fra andre knockdown. Han hadde aldri blitt droppet før. Han har kjempet mange flotte jagerfly og jeg droppet ham to ganger.”
Smith, den første innfødte Las Vegan å fange en VM-tittel, følte kampen var mye strammere.
“Den første knockdown var ikke alvorlig. Han bare fanget meg i bakhodet. Den andre var legit, men jeg fikk opp klar til å komme tilbake på ham,” Smith sa.
“Seks poeng er latterlig. Jeg trodde det var nærmere 95-95 eller 95-94. Jeg trodde det var mye nærmere enn de to dommerne, og min hjørne holdt fortelle det var virkelig nær. Men vi forventet en tøff kamp ut av (Martirosyan). Han er lang, rangy og en god puncher, men det er derfor jeg ønsket å komme inn og kjempe ham der.
“Jeg kjempet en helvetes kamp mot Nei. 3-rangert fighter i vår divisjon. Jeg har mye igjen. Jeg presser disse gutta til grensen. Jeg tar ingenting fra ham. Han er en av de beste i verden, og jeg er en tidligere verdensmester. Vi ga fansen en god kamp i kveld, og jeg vil være tilbake igjen snart.”
Også på “NEDTELLING LIVE,” lovende ubeseiret lett Gervonta Davis av Baltimore forbedret til 12-0 med 11 knockouts ved å registrere en 1:34, første runde TKO i løpetRecky Dulay (8-2, 5 KOs), av Manila, Filippinene.
