KANSAS CITY, قد. (تشرين الثاني 7, 2024) -Twenty-three-time national amateur champion, 18-year-old Kansas super middleweight prospect Marco “El Tiburón” Romero (3-0, 2 كوس), returns this Saturday night to the scene of his successful pro debut this past June in Portland, مين, 1,300 miles northeast of his home in Overland Park, كانساس.
A promotional free agent, Romero is matched against Orlando “El Marro” Salgado (3-5, 2 كوس) in a four-round bout on a card promoted by Bobby Russo’s Portland Boxing Club in Portland’s Exposition Building.
“I had my first pro fight there and I love Portland people, especially Bobby Russo (who is also President of the National Golden Gloves),قال روميرو. “I loved the crowd, everybody was so welcoming, قول, ‘Go KC.’ There’s good energy and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
روميرو, who will celebrate his 19عشرbirthday on Nov. 19, is a special boxer and young man. The last 12 months have been absolutely amazing whirlwind for him in boxing.
Because he hadn’t reached the mandatory age of 18 بعد, and his weight class (المتوسط السوبر) wasn’t included in 2024 Olympic boxing, Romero never seriously considered waiting for a shot at making the U.S. المنتخب الاولمبي. بدلا من, his eyes were on the prize of becoming a professional fighter.
ديسمبر الماضي, Romero captured top honors at the prestigious USA Boxing National Championships in Lafayette, لويزيانا, followed closely by parlaying that to gold medal performance at the 2024 National Golden Gloves Tournament in Detroit.
All told, في الاخير 12 أشهر, كان 9-0 in amateur competition, including three at The Nationals and five at The Golden Gloves, plus three pro victories for a remarkable 12-0 سجل (three pro and 8 in elite national amateur competition) during this relatively short span.
The Romero Plan has always been to close out his incredible amateur career by winning The Nationals and Golden Gloves, at which he was also named Most Outstanding Boxer, known as the Golden Boy Award, and then turn pro. Mission accomplished!
(L-R) – National Golden Gloves President Bobby Russo and Marco Romero with his Golden Gloves belt and Golden Boy Award)
“I would have liked to have fought in the Olympics,” he explained, “because all of the good, young boxers were there, and we (الامريكى. الرجال) haven’t won an Olympic Gold Medal since Andre Ward in 2004. But I didn’t turn 18 until two weeks prior to the (باريس) Olympics and my weight class wasn’t contested there.
"الآن, I’m on a new journey as a pro. بصراحة, there aren’t too many differences between the amateurs and pros. The weigh-ins are right before the fight in the amateurs and the night before as a pro. I don’t have any problems fighting without headgear or with smaller gloves. To me there are really no big differences. I was born to fight!”
Romero describes himself as a heavy hitter who throws every punch with bad intentions. He’s very explosive with ring intelligence, capable of punishing his opponent by breaking them down until they either quit because they can’t take any additional punishment or get put to sleep.
In Romero’s corner is a legend in his own right, 77-year-old John Brown, who is Marco’s head trainer and manager, in the same role he played for world heavyweight champion Tommy Morrison (48-3-1, 42 كوس) from his amateur days through his first 39 معارك للمحترفين, 1988 إلى 1993. The highlight, بالطبع, was Morrison’s 12-round unanimous decision over George Foreman for the vacant World Boxing Organization (المنظمة العالمية للملاكمة) لقب الوزن الثقيل.
Brown clearly doesn’t need to be in Romero’s corner to survive; لكن, John knows that Marco is a special fighter with tremendous upside, and he’s vowed to get him to the top of the boxing mountain. “I’m really excited about this kid,” Brown remarked, “and my job is to make him successful for himself and his family. Marco is an amazing kid. He has experience having boxed 10 years and 135 معارك الهواة. He has good looks and a good personality, great sense of humor, speaks very well in English and Spanish, maturity beyond his years, and a work ethic that’s difficult to find in boxing.
“He’s hungry to be successful in life and knows that boxing is the vehicle to get him there. And he’s with the right people who don’t need to feed people. Anything could go wrong like injuries or illnesses, but it’s all there for him and a clear path. In terms of potential, Marco is in a rare class as part of a typical Mexican American family, tight knit and expanding. He respects everyone and Marco is a once in a lifetime talent.”
Brown knows that a champion boxer needs a supportive team in his corner. Romero has that and much more. In addition to Brown, the team is comprised of Marco’s father, Salvador, who encouraged his son to become a boxer at the tender age of seven, and he has remained with Marco through every step of his boxing journey. Brown also brought in one of his former amateur champions, Sergio Flores, who is a very successful businessman. Flores handles the tough physical training aspects required for success in the ring along with mitt work to help keep Marco’s skills razor sharp.
Fans attending this Saturday night’s show in Portland can look back in a few years and say they saw The Future of Boxing, Marco “El Tiburon” Romero, when he was just an 18-year-old prospect starting out on his mission to greatness.

Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez isChua’s first true world champion
(L-R) – Jesse Vargas, head trainer Julian Chua and two-time World Champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez
لوس انجليس (تشرين الثاني 6, 2024) -- One of the hottest young trainers in boxing is Julian Chua, even though he still hasn’t received the high-level respect he deserves from many boxing fans and promoters.
When Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (46-1, 30 كوس) dethroned previously undefeated World Boxing Association (رابطة الملاكمة العالمية) Cruiserweight World Champion Arsen “Feroz” Goulamirian (27-0, 19 كوس) هذا آذار الماضي, Chua’s stock took off because “Zurdo” is the first world champion the 33-year-old Chua developed into a world champion.
The journey Chua took to become the head trainer of “Zurdo,” who is only two months younger than Julian, was unusual, to say the least. فى ذلك التوقيت, Ramirez was 39-0 and the first of Mexican heritage to be world super middleweight champion, as well as a promotional free agent. “Zurdo” and his manager, ديفيد سوه (3 Point Management – 3رئيس الوزراء), were conducting a search for a new head trainer and the list included some of the top coaches in the country. Chua was a relatively unknown commodity outside of southern California who at that time was training fighters at the famed Wildcard Gym in Hollywood (مثل) under Hall of Fame Trainer Freddie Roach (he had also trained Chua when he was an amateur boxer from Indiana).
في 2018, Suh reached out to Chua to inquire if he’d be interested in training Ramirez, adding that he was also speaking with several other top names. في البداية, Ramirez really didn’t know who Chua was, at least, until they met at a coffee shop in Santa Monica to get to know each other. After that meeting, Ramirez gave Julian a chance to train him. The rest, بالطبع, is part of modern-day boxing history.
"نقرنا على الفور,” Chua added. “We learned things about each other and how we liked to train. I’ve always studied a lot and did some research about how he had been trained because I wanted to help him improve. I was getting four fighters ready in L.A. and ‘Zurdo’ couldn’t go there for sparring. I told him that I couldn’t leave these fighters to go and train him in Long Beach. We still wanted to work with each other and ‘Zurdo’ made it work. I went to Long Beach (where Ramirez trained at Hill Street Boxing & Fitness Gym) twice a week and he came to Wildcard three times.”
Chua made his debut at Ramirez’ new head trainer in 2019, when Ramirez moved up in weight to fight as a light heavyweight, stopping Tommy Karpency in four rounds. COVID-19 restrictions adversely affected Ramirez’ activity, but he learned and improved by continuing to work with Chua in the gym. “Zurdo” signed a promotional contract with Golden Boy Promotions, gaining added exposure fighting on the DAZN, and he reeled off four more consecutive victories through the middle of 2022, after which he lost for the first time in his pro career to WBA World Light Heavyweight Champion Dmitry Bivol (20-0), عن طريق قرار 12 جولة.
Ramirez decided that it was time to move up another division to cruiserweight because he was walking around at 200 جنيه. Last October, Ramirez made his cruiserweight debut, albeit at a 193-pound catchweight, against former world light heavyweight champion and Bernard Hopkins conqueror Joe Smith, الابن. (28-4). “Zurdo” won a unanimous 10-round decision to become the mandatory challenger for Goulamirian.
“’Zurdo’ is the first world champion I’ve ‘built’ but I’ve been brought in to work with some world champions on their weaknesses – Regis Prograis, Steph Fulton and Alycia Baumgardner,” Chua commented. “It’s a lot more difficult that way because you can’t really have an impact in only two or three months. I’ve been working with ‘Zurdo’ for five years and I’ve had it good. He has a lot of natural talent and has always been a smart fighter, but he picked ‘nuts-and-guts’ too often in his decision making. He didn’t need to get hit so much even though he has a great chin. He has such a beautiful style and he’s so intelligent.”
“He’s such a natural. Mexicans are uppercut kings. I noticed that, defensively, Arsen didn’t move his head or feet much. He was so wide that he was open up the middle for uppercuts, left or right, and that was our master plan. We worked on ‘Zurdo’ not throwing his uppercuts from too far away. He had been wide but, in this fight, he smothered his opponent inside. He did a lot of technical work and he’s always been a versatile fighter. I have him boxing more off his back foot. He could bully opponents with his size at 168, but he doesn’t have that same physical luxury to impose his size at cruiserweight. He’s using his boxing skills more.”
Chua admits he cherished Ramirez capturing the WBA crown, professionally as well as personally. And he also believes “Zurdo” can become the first Mexico-born heavyweight world champion, the same as he was as world super middleweight and cruiserweight champion.
“It meant the world to me,” Chua spoke about ‘Zurdo’ becoming the WBA Cruiserweight World Champion. “The expression on my face when they announced the scores showed how much it meant to me. I’m still fighting for my respect with fans and promoters, especially after the Bivol fight. ‘Zurdo’ is too slick. I believe in this guy! I can see him moving up to heavyweight, but I want to clean up some more things defensively. Sometimes he keeps his head too low, and I don’t want him testing his chin so much. Depending on who the heavyweight champion is when he’s ready, I believe he can be heavyweight champion of the world with his activity so slick and prioritizing his defense. We’re going to double down. As Abel Sanchez (Goulamirian’s trainer) said at the post-fight press conference, he didn’t think ‘Zurdo’ was so slick, offensively and defensively.”
Chua is preparing “Zurdo” to take on WBO Cruiserweight Chris Billam-Smith (20-1, 13 كوس) in a unification match on November 16عشرin Riyadh, المملكة العربية السعودية.
In addition to several mixed-martial-arts fighters, Chua is also the head trainer for pro boxers such as WBA world super flyweight challenger and WBA #6-rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 كوس), undefeated Hawaiian middleweight prospect Jordan “The Patriot” Panthen (9-0, 8 كوس), 2012 Ukrainian Olympian welterweight Taras Shelestyuk (19-0-1, 11 كوس), undefeated New York City welterweight Arnold Gonzalez (15-1, 7 كوس), Armenian super bantamweight Azat “Crazy A” Hovhannisyan (21-5, 17 كوس), and former WBA Inter-Continental Champion “Supreme” Kareem Hackett (12-1, 6 كوس), of Toronto.
Catch the Chua experience, Julian is making a name for himself in boxing circles and drawing fighters to work with him at Brickhouse Boxing Club in North Hollywood, كاليفورنيا. The best is yet to come, لكن, especially if “Zurdo” becomes world heavyweight champion in the not-too-distant future.

لوس انجليس (تشرين الثاني 7, 2024) – German super lightweight prospect Simon “Saucy” Vollmer (6-0, 2 كوس) is the latest member of one of the fastest growing boxing managerial companies, Los Angeles-based 3 Point Management (3رئيس الوزراء).
Vollmer made his successful 3 PM debut, dominating Leon Martinez (2-3-1, 2 كوس) en route to a six-round unanimous decision (60-54, 60-54, 58-56) on a show promoted this past May by Red Boxing International, at Riverside Municipal Auditorium in Riverside, كاليفورنيا. Vollmar followed that with a six-round unanimous decision victory over Seiran Engel this past July 13عشر.
A four-time member of the German National Boxing Team, the 22-year-old Vollmer is a southpaw from Heidelberg who now trains in Santa Monica (مثل) at Churchill Boxing Club under the guidance of his head trainer, Pedro Neme.
“I traveled a lot to different gyms in the United States and went to Brickhouse (Boxing Club in North Hollywood, مثل) with a friend,” Vollmer explained his decision to sign with 3 رئيس الوزراء. “I worked out there and we (manager David Shu) started following each other. He saw me fight on YouTube and contacted me. I studied a lot before I made a decision to sign. The big factor was the team: who they’ve signed, how they’ve moved their fighters, and where they are today. All categories were very good. They keep their fighters active and in big fights. There’s a lot of talent in Los Angeles. 3 PM takes good care of its fighters and that was very important to me.”
Vollmer started boxing at the age of 10, a self-described troubled kid who liked to fight. Living in Germany, طبيعي, he played soccer, but he wanted to be the center of attention, and didn’t like team sports. He turned to karate and other combat sports. There was an after-school boxing program offered. Simon attended, started sparring and quickly beat more experienced fighters, and soon fell in love with boxing.As a four-time member of the German National Boxing Team, Vollmer lived at the Olympic Training Center in Germany, in addition to traveling worldwide for tournaments. He gained invaluable experience fighting opponents with various styles and became obsessed with boxing. Simon lost his first amateur match but went on to record an 80-9-1 سجل الهواة.
“But I felt something was missing,"هو قال. “I’m proud of my country, but its amateur boxing program is not good because it isn’t supported. It’s political. I’d ask coaches what to do so I could improve, but they didn’t seem to care. I wanted to be in the Olympics and believed I had the skill level for it. I had raw potential, so I took the money I had saved from being on the German National Team and traveled to the United States.
Vollmer started going to different U.S. gyms and he eventually developed what he calls a very old-school American style. “People won’t believe it," أضاف, “but that’s how I fight. توم يانكيلو, who trained Paul Spadafora, mentored me and helped change my style. I’m a slick counter-puncher with my jabs and explosiveness from the outside. I’m versatile, رغم أن. I adjust during the fight and when there’s an opportunity to break down my opponent, I switch and start counter-punching on the inside.”
When he first started boxing, Simon enjoyed watching tapes of Sugar Ray Leonard, but his all-time favorite is fellow southpaw, في وقت متأخر, great Pernell Whitaker. A true student of boxing, Vollmer also appreciates old-school fighters such as Roberto Duran, Salvidor Sanchez and Joe Louis, to name a few of the more notable boxers he has studied and admires.
Vollmer is working with 3 Point Management (3 رئيس الوزراء), which has a growing stable of gifted boxers including former WBA Cruiserweight World title-holder, جيلبرتو "Zurdo" راميريز (46-1, 30 كوس); world super flyweight title challenger and WBA #6-rated John “Scrappy” Ramirez (13-1, 9 كوس), undefeated WBA Inter-Continental Super Middleweight Champion and WBA #6-ranked Darius “DFG “ Fulghum (12-0, 10 كوس), and former WBA Inter-Continental Light Heavyweight Champion Kareem “Supreme” Hackett (12-1, 6 كوس).

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (أكتوبر 31, 2024) -Undefeated blue-chip bantamweight prospect Dominique “Dimes” Crowder (17-0, 10 كوس) is ready to cash in November 16عشرon Boxing Insider Promotions’ loaded card, streaming live on DAZN from The Showroom at Tropicana Atlantic City.
كراودر. the reigning World Boxing Association (رابطة الملاكمة العالمية) International bantamweight champion, تم تصنيفها حاليا لا. 14 في العالم من قبل WBA. Trained by Jose Guzman and Hall of Famer Mark Breland, “Dimes” is a two-time New York Golden Gloves Champion rated No. 1 nationally in his weight class during his amateur career.
“I’m super excited to be on this card in Atlantic City,” the 30-year-old Crowder said. “I’m glad (event promoter) Larry Goldberg made it happen. All the greats fought there and it’s not too far from my hometown, about a two-hour drive. I’ll have a lot of support on fight night from people in Baltimore and New York City.”
Crowder takes on Duke Micah (24-2, 19 كوس), غانا, in an eight-round bout on The Boardwalk. Micah is a former EBC International, Commonwealth Boxing Council and WBO African bantamweight champion.
“I have known Dominique since he was an amateur when I used to sponsor him,” Goldberg commented. “I have been his friend for years and watched his career progress to 17-0. He has a great team with Jose Guzman, علامة Breland, and his manager Adam Glenn. ‘Dimes’ is one of the best free agents in boxing and just an amazing human being.”
Crowder started boxing at the age of 14 in Baltimore. He fell in love with the sport and quickly discovered that he was a natural boxer. New York City is the home of his training camp for each fight in order to enhance his pro career, going back and forth to his Baltimore home on a regular basis.
Guzman has been training Crowder since the latter part of 2017 and he’s extremely high on his protégé. “Dominique is one of those diamonds in the rough from his amateur days,” Guzman noted.
“Everybody knew he was a very slick boxer who was hard to hit, but nobody thought he could hit. As a pro, he’s turned into a boxer-puncher. He didn’t train very much as an amateur because he was so naturally gifted, he didn’t need to. He’s more mature now. Dominique is one of those guys who eats and breathes boxing 24/7. If he’s not in the gym, he’s home watching boxing from back in the day. He is a student of the game.”
“He’s the WBA International champion and the question is who is willing to fight him at 118? انه 6 طول القدم, long, and rangy like Mark Breland and Tommy Hearns, و (for his size) Dominique can hit like them.”
Crowder describes his style as a good puncher who is fundamentally sound but can also mix it up pending the situation in the ring. Because of his advantageous height fighting at bantamweight, Crowder watches and in the ring, he attempts to simulate long, rangy fighters such as Mark Breland, تومي Hearns, مايكل نان, and Diego Corrales.
The four world bantamweight champions of the major sanctioning bodies are all from Japan and Crowder realizes he may have to travel halfway around the world for his seemingly impending world title shot.
“Boxing is a waiting game,” Dominque explained, “and I need to stay ready until I get that call (world title shot offer). Because I’m ranked, it could happen at any time. إن لم يكن, I’ll keep working hard to move up and become the mandatory challenger. نأمل, my chance could happen next year. I’m getting better and better and I’m always fighting bigger guys than me at training camp, real punchers, never guys my weight.“I’m willing to go to the moon to get my world title shot! I’ll only get one shot at my first world title fight, so I’ll roll the dice and fight anywhere in the world.
