2-tempo olimpico domenicano Leonel de los Santos Spedizioni fino a Boston

Maggio 4, 2022 FNU47 Lascia un commento

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg — **BOSTON (Maggio 4, 2022)** – Due volte olimpionico domenicano, leggero Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 KO), potrebbe stabilirsi nell'area di Boston per migliorare la sua carriera di pugilato professionista. Infatti, ha recentemente trascorso un mese lì a prepararsi per il suo ultimo combattimento, che ha portato a una vittoria per decisione di 6 round lo scorso marzo nella sua nativa Repubblica Dominicana.

Il manager del Santos, Ryan Roach, vive a Boston e ha presentato il suo peso leggero imbattuto all'allenatore Alex Rivera, e che ha pagato dividendi immediati in termini di miglioramento.

Santos, 26, si è allenato al Somerville Boxing Club sotto Rivera, chi si allena 26-0 welter Rashidi Ellis, con cui Santos ha combattuto più volte, e l'olimpionica statunitense Rashida Ellis, La sorella di Rashidi.

“Le condizioni nel nostro campo di addestramento a Boston erano molto buone,” ha detto Santos. “Ho imparato molte cose nuove sulla boxe professionistica da Alex in poco tempo, in particolare la mia difesa sull'evitare i pugili più piccoli. Ha davvero aiutato la mia prestazione nel mio ultimo incontro.
Rivera ha lavorato con Santos solo due settimane, ma i due si sono collegati subito.

“Leonel è un buon pugile con molta esperienza,Ricordò Rivera. “Ha velocità e potenza. Abbiamo lavorato per renderlo più tecnico dal punto di vista tecnico. Si tratta di colpire senza essere colpiti. È molto alto per la sua classe di peso – 5' 8' o 5' 9” – con una buona portata. Ci siamo trovati subito d'accordo, ed era come se avessimo lavorato insieme per molto tempo. Penso che possa fare rumore con il suo background amatoriale. Ha tutti gli strumenti. Mi ricorda un po' Ryan Garcia: alto e forte per la sua classe di peso. Leonel ha quello che serve.

“Non ero con Leonel per il suo ultimo incontro, ma ho visto alcuni momenti salienti. Il ragazzo con cui ha combattuto (Andrés Bens Zapata) potrebbe davvero prendere un pugno. Le mani di Leonel erano gonfie dopo il combattimento per aver colpito così tanto il suo avversario. Leonel lo ha colpito con tutto ciò che aveva. Ho notato come la sua difesa e distanza fossero migliorate. Questo è ciò su cui abbiamo lavorato. Ha mantenuto le distanze e ha combattuto in modo pulito".

Santos, che ha parenti che vivono nella vicina Lawrence, MA, sta richiedendo un visto di lavoro per allenarsi con Rivera.

“Penso che allenarsi con Alex abbia notevolmente migliorato la boxe e il tempismo di Leonel,Il manager del Santos, Roach, ha aggiunto. “Alex ha lavorato molto sulla distanza, che porterà a più potenza dietro i suoi colpi. Ho visto grandi cambiamenti nell'ultimo incontro di Leonel. Ha applicato le abilità che ha imparato con Alex, e non vedo l'ora di saperne di più".

La crescente scuderia di pugili dotati di Fighter Locker include anche i pesi mosca super californiani Rocco "So Cal Kid" Santomauro (21-1, 6 KO), Il super leggero Ray Jay "The Destroyer" Bermudez dell'ABF American West di New York (16-0, 11 KO), Il super welter ABF USA del Connecticut Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams (18-5-2, 6 KO), Il campione dei pesi medi ABF American West del Colorado "The Amazing" Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KO), Il super leggero del Massachusetts Adrian "Tonka" Sosa (12-0, 9 KO), Florida super gallo Daniel "The Dedizione" Bailey, Jr. (10-1, 5 KO), Troy Anderson, peso piuma del Massachusetts, Jr. (4-0, 2 KO), 2-tempo olimpico brasiliano & 2016 Medaglia d'argento olimpica Yuberjen Martinez, L'olimpionico brasiliano Jorge Vivas, Pesi da crociera dominicani Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Super welter dominicano Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), James Hagler dei pesi medi della Georgia, Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), Il dominicano dei pesi piuma Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 KO), Il dominicano leggero Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KO), Robert Daniels dei pesi massimi leggeri della Florida, Jr. (6-0, 5 KO), Irlandese dei pesi massimi leggeri Tommy "The Kid" O'Toole (3-0, 2 KO), Miranda "La Alacrana" Reyes del Texas super leggero (5-1-1, 2 KO), Il super peso piuma del Massachusetts Alex Rivera (3-0, 2 KO), fratelli Kansas, peso welter Marco (3-0, 3 KO) e Marcell super leggero (1-0), e fratelli Utah, Il campione dei pesi leggeri ABF American West Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KO) e il leggero Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KO).

Fighter Locker signs Kansas City lightweight prospect Marcell Davidson

Gennaio 14, 2022 FNU47 Lascia un commento

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

**BOSTON (Gennaio 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 Golden Gloves Torneo Nazionale. The 6’ 3” southpaw also won a silver medal at the 2017 Golden Gloves nazionali, 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. Alla fine, 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, troppo.

“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 libbre. 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!"

La crescente scuderia di pugili dotati di Fighter Locker include anche i pesi mosca super californiani Rocco "So Cal Kid" Santomauro (21-1, 6 KO), Il super leggero Ray Jay "The Destroyer" Bermudez dell'ABF American West di New York (15-0, 11 KO), Il super welter ABF USA del Connecticut Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams (18-5-2, 6 KO), Il campione dei pesi medi ABF American West del Colorado "The Amazing" Shawn McCalman (10-0, 6 KO), Il super leggero del Massachusetts Adrian "Tonka" Sosa (12-0, 9 KO), Florida super gallo Daniel "The Dedizione" Bailey, Jr. (9-0, 5 KO), Troy Anderson, peso piuma del Massachusetts, Jr. (3-0, 2 KO), 2-tempo olimpico brasiliano & 2016 Medaglia d'argento olimpica Yuberjen Martinez, L'olimpionico brasiliano Jorge Vivas, 2-time Dominican Olympian, leggero Leonel de los Santos (5-0, 5 KO), Pesi da crociera dominicani Roki “Rocky” Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Super welter dominicano Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Il dominicano dei pesi piuma Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 KO), Il dominicano leggero Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KO), Robert Daniels dei pesi massimi leggeri della Florida, Jr. (5-0, 5 KO), Irlandese dei pesi massimi leggeri Tommy "The Kid" O'Toole (2-0, 2 KO), Miranda "La Alacrana" Reyes del Texas super leggero (5-0-1, 2 KO) ), e fratelli Utah, Il campione dei pesi leggeri ABF American West Ignacio Chairez (9-0-1, 5 KO) e il leggero Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KO).

Marvin Cordova, Jr. & Robert Daniels, Jr. Join Fighter Locker stable

Maggio 29, 2021 FNU47 Lascia un commento

BOSTON (Maggio 25, 2021) – Veteran boxerMarvin “Much Too Much” Cordova, Jr and promising prospectRobert Daniels, Jr. are the latest additions toRyan Roach’s growing Fighter Locker stable.

"Sig. (Grimaldello) Burchfield (Cordova’s promoter) linked me up with 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 ejoselito 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 Police 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

"Sono 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 verbale, 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. welter leggeri, and GBU Youth light welterweight title belts.

“Ryan Roach believes in me,” Cordova noted. “I’m stronger and ready for the next step. I had talked with a friend, 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, ‘Mr. 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 the son of former WBA cruiserweight World championRobert “Preacher Man” Daniels (49-10-1, 41 KO), who became world champion in 1989, when he decisioned the future Hall of FamerDwight Muhammad Qawi.

“There’s a little bit of added pressure as the son of a world champion boxer,” 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.

“I was supposed to sign with managers are few times, but it never went anywhere, and I wasn’t getting fights. I have this great opportunity now and I’m going to take full advantage of it.”

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers include California super flyweightRocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (21-1, 6 KO), Troy, NY ABF American West super lightweightRay Jay “The Destroyer” Bermudez(12-0, 9 KO), Toronto, Canada welterweight West Haven, CT super welterweightJimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (17-5-2, 6 KO), super medi“The Amazing” Shawn McCalman(7-0, 4 KO), U.S. Army super bantamweightDaniel Bailey, Jr. (5-0, 4 KO), leggeroLeonel de los Santos(2-0, 2 KO), un 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr. (1-0, 1 KO), pro-debuting Dominican Republic welterweightJuan Solano, and Salt Lake City, 2016 Medaglia d'argento olimpicaYuberjen Martinez, Utah brothers, super leggeroIgnacio Chairez (8-0-1, 5 KO) and lightweightGabriel Chairez (3-0-1, 2 KO).

Undefeated RayJay Bermudez: Super lightweight prospect flying under the radar

Marzo 2, 2021 FNU47 Lascia un commento

BOSTON (Febbraio 25, 2020) - imbattutoRayJay “The Destroyer” Bermudez (12-0, 9 KO) 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 con 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, sostaMario Israel Vera round four.

Despite his unbeaten run, Bermudez is still fighting under the radar, at least on a national basis, ma 2021 promises to be a breakout year for him, naturalmente, pending pandemic restrictions in 2021.

Bermudez, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, is trained by his uncle, Hector Bermudez, who has trained five world champions includingTJ Doheny eJavier 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.

Fighter Locker’s growing stable of gifted boxers includes California super flyweightRocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (20-1, 6 KO), West Haven, CT super welterweightJimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-5-2, 5 KO), super medi“The Amazing” Shawn McCalman(6-0, 4 KO), U.S. Army super bantamweightDaniel Bailey, Jr. (2-0, 1 KO), leggeroLeonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 KO), un 2-time Dominican Republic Olympian, pro-debuting Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr., pro-debuting Dominican Republic welterweightJuan Solano, and Salt Lake City, Utah brothers, super leggeroIgnacio Chairez (7-0-1, 4 KO) and lightweightGabriel Chairez (3-0, 2 KO).

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

Marzo 2, 2021 FNU47 Lascia un commento

BOSTON (Febbraio 23, 2021) – Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker has announced it has signed California super flyweightRocco “So Cal Kid” Santomauro (20-1, 6 KO) to an exclusive managerial contract.

The 33-year-old Santomauro, fighting out of Apple Valley, COME, 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, proprio adesso, 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 (COME), 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 (Novembre. 7, 2020), quando si fermòChristian 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. L'ho messo fuori combattimento! We did it intelligently and were able to hit all the marks performance-wise.”

Training and fighting during a pandemic have been challenging, per non dire altro, 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.”

Ora, 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 KO), Toronto, Canada welterweight West Haven, CT super welterweightJimmy “Quiet Storm” Williams (16-5-2, 5 KO), super medi“The Amazing” Shawn McCalman(6-0, 4 KO), U.S. Army super bantamweightDaniel Bailey, Jr. (2-0, 1 KO), leggeroLeonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 KO),, un 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 leggeroIgnacio Chairez (7-0-1, 4 KO) and lightweightGabriel Chairez (3-0, 2 KO).

Prospettiva leggera imbattuta Jamaine "The Technician" Ortiz Non è più il segreto meglio custodito dopo Tyson-Jones, Jr. Spettacolo PPV

Dicembre 20, 2020 FNU47 Lascia un commento

WORCESTER, Massa. (Dicembre 14, 2020) - Prima della sua performance sensazionale sul recente Mike Tyson-Roy Jones, Jr. pay-per-view evento, prospettiva leggera imbattutaJamaine "The Technician" Ortiz era il segreto meglio custodito della boxe. Non piu, anche se, mentre Ortiz si è affermato saldamente come una stella nascente di fronte a innumerevoli fan tra i 1.6 milioni di acquisti di PPV.

Ortiz ha volato da Boston a Los Angeles il giorno del Ringraziamento. È stato portato in albergo, dove vide subito Jones, controllato il suo peso, e andò allo Staples Center. “Mi sentivo a mio agio sin dall'inizio,"Ha detto il giovane combattente che stava combattendo per la prima volta come professionista al di fuori del New England. “Ero lì per portare a termine il lavoro. Ero in missione. Vado a vedere lo Staples Center ed è stato fantastico. In seguito ho fatto la mia corsa allo Staples Center e c'erano molte statue. È stato bellissimo. È stato bello vedere lo spogliatoio dei Lakers. "

Il 24enne Ortiz (14-0, 8 KO), il campione del mondo in carica del mondo di boxe giovanile, eliminatoSulaiman Segawa (13-3-1, 4 KO) con un attacco di lividi al corpo, ferire il suo avversario nel sesto round, e chiudere lo spettacolo in modo spettacolare nel settimo per il vacante World Boxing Council (WBC) USNBC (U.S) Titolo leggero d'argento. Segawa non era mai stato fermato prima come professionista.

Ortiz ha mostrato il suo arsenale complessivo: colpo duro, mani e piedi veloci come un lampo, passare avanti e indietro senza sforzo da posizioni ortodosse a mancini, punire i ganci su e giù, e i colpi al corpo più letali visti da un New England da alloraMicky Ward "irlandese".

“Ero calmo e freddo prima del combattimento,"Ha aggiunto Ortiz. “Mi piace litigare, mentalmente, come se fosse una sessione di sparring e faccio sempre del bene. Ho iniziato in una posizione ortodossa, ha stabilito il mio jab e l'ho usato molto. Penso che avrei dovuto usarlo di più e avrei potuto batterlo con esso. Ho ascoltato il mio allenatore (Rocky Gonzalez) e lui mi ha detto quando cambiare. Il body punching è il no. 1 cosa con Rocky. Potrei non averlo mostrato altrettanto in altri combattimenti, ma me lo trapana continuamente. Al sesto round, mi ha detto di andare di più al corpo, non cercando di prenderlo, e nel settimo gli ho fatto davvero male al corpo.

“Segawa è stato decisamente un duro. Aveva picchiato molti ragazzi, compresi alcuni che ha sconvolto. Ogni combattimento è un trampolino di lancio e io sono il mio peggior critico. Ho sentito che avrei potuto metterlo KO al secondo turno, ma non volevo uscire dal piano di gioco

Ortiz ha messo a punto Segawa dalla campana di apertura, lo ruppe, e finì lo spettacolo in grande stile mentre Seqawa era ferito e intrappolato alle corde, ottenendo complimenti da persone altamente rispettate nel settore come"Zucchero" Ray Leonard, Teddy Atlas, e altri.
