2-l'olympien dominicain Leonel de los Santos Expédition jusqu'à Boston

Alex Rivera _ Santos.jpg
BOSTON (Mai 4, 2022) – Double olympienne dominicaine, léger Leonel de los Santos (6-0, 5 KOs), peut s'installer dans la région de Boston pour améliorer sa carrière de boxeur professionnel. En fait, il y a récemment passé un mois à préparer son dernier combat, qui a abouti à une victoire par décision en 6 rounds en mars dernier dans sa République dominicaine natale.


L'entraîneur de Santos, Ryan Roach, vit à Boston et il a présenté son poids léger invaincu à l'entraîneur Alex Rivera, et qui a rapporté des dividendes immédiats en termes d'amélioration.


Santos, 26, formé au Somerville Boxing Club sous Rivera, qui s'entraîne 26-0 poids welter Rashidi Ellis, avec qui Santos s'est battu plusieurs fois, et l'olympienne américaine Rashida Ellis, La soeur de Rashidi.


"Les conditions à notre camp d'entraînement à Boston étaient très bonnes," dit Santos. "J'ai appris beaucoup de nouvelles choses sur la boxe professionnelle d'Alex en peu de temps, surtout ma défense d'esquiver les petits boxeurs. Il a vraiment aidé ma performance lors de mon dernier combat.
Rivera n'a travaillé avec Santos que deux semaines, mais les deux se sont connectés tout de suite.


"Leonel est un bon boxeur avec beaucoup d'expérience," se souvient Rivera. « Il a de la vitesse et de la puissance. Nous avons travaillé pour le rendre plus solide techniquement. Il s'agit de frapper sans être touché. Il est très grand pour sa catégorie de poids - 5' 8' ou 5' 9" - avec une bonne portée. On s'est tout de suite entendu, et c'était comme si nous travaillions ensemble depuis longtemps. Je pense qu'il peut faire du bruit avec son passé d'amateur. Il a tous les outils. Ça me rappelle un peu Ryan Garcia: grand et fort pour sa catégorie de poids. Leonel a ce qu'il faut.


"Je n'étais pas avec Leonel pour son dernier combat, mais j'ai regardé quelques faits saillants. Le gars qu'il a combattu (Andrés Bens Zapata) pourrait vraiment prendre un coup de poing. Les mains de Leonel étaient enflées après le combat à force de frapper son adversaire. Leonel l'a frappé avec tout ce qu'il avait. J'ai remarqué à quel point sa défense et sa distance s'étaient améliorées. C'est ce sur quoi nous avons travaillé. Il a gardé ses distances et a eu un combat propre.


Santos, qui a des parents vivant à proximité de Lawrence, MA, demande un visa de travail pour s'entraîner avec Rivera.


"Je pense que l'entraînement avec Alex a considérablement amélioré la boxe et le timing de Leonel," Roach, le manager de Santos, a ajouté. « Alex a beaucoup travaillé sur la distance, ce qui conduira à plus de puissance derrière ses coups. J'ai vu de grands changements dans le dernier combat de Leonel. Il a appliqué les compétences qu'il a apprises avec Alex, et j'ai hâte d'en savoir plus.


L’écurie grandissante de boxeurs doués de Fighter Locker comprend également le super poids mouche californien Rocco « So Cal Kid » Santomauro (21-1, 6 KOs), Le super léger ABF American West de New York Ray Jay "The Destroyer" Bermudez (16-0, 11 KOs), Jimmy "Quiet Storm" Williams, super poids welter ABF USA du Connecticut (18-5-2, 6 KOs), Shawn McCalman, champion des poids super-moyens ABF American West du Colorado, "The Amazing" (10-0, 6 KOs), Adrian "Tonka" Sosa super léger du Massachusetts (12-0, 9 KOs), Daniel "The Dedication" Bailey, poids super coq de Floride, Jr. (10-1, 5 KOs), Poids plume du Massachusetts Troy Anderson, Jr. (4-0, 2 KOs), 2-fois olympien brésilien & 2016 Le médaillé d'argent olympique Yuberjen Martinez, L'olympien brésilien Jorge Vivas, Le poids-croiseur dominicain Roki "Rocky" Berroa (2-0, 1 KO), Le super poids welter dominicain Juan Solano Santos (1-0, 1 KO), Géorgie super-moyen James Hagler, Jr. (2-1, 1 KO), Le poids plume dominicain Orlando Perez Zapata (10-0, 8 KOs), Dominicain léger Isaelin Florian Henriguez (8-1, 4 KOs), Robert Daniels, poids lourd léger de Floride, Jr. (6-0, 5 KOs), Poids lourd léger irlandais Tommy "The Kid" O'Toole (3-0, 2 KOs), Texas super léger Miranda "La Alacrana" Reyes (5-1-1, 2 KOs), Alex Rivera, super poids plume du Massachusetts (3-0, 2 KOs), Frères du Kansas, poids welter Marcus (3-0, 3 KOs) et super léger Marcell (1-0), et les frères de l'Utah, Ignacio Chairez, champion des poids légers de l'ABF American West (9-0-1, 5 KOs) et léger Gabriel Chairez (4-0-1, 2 KOs).

World-Class Dominican Boxers Payano, Marrero and Vicente Sign Long-Term Agreements with King Kong Boxing Management

 

Well-known Florida-based manager/trainer Herman Caicedo proudly announces the signing of three of his world-class Dominican fighters, former WBA Super World Bantamweight Champion and WBA #2, WBC #11 contender Juan Carlos Payano, WBA #3 featherweight ClaudioThe Matrix” Marrero, and well-respected featherweight contender YenifelThe Lightning” Vicente, to multi-year managerial agreements with Jay Jimenez of King Kong Boxing Management.
The deal frees Caicedo, who formerly held both duties with the three fighters since their amateur days, to focus solely on training, while Jimenez takes the reins over furthering their careers in the professional boxing business.
32-year-old southpaw Payano (18-1, 9 KOs) won the WBA strap in September 2014 by stopping long-time world champion Anselmo Moreno. He then defeated and lost a rematch to Ohio’s Rau’shee Warren. He was last seen scoring a TKO 7 over Isao Gonzalo Carranza in January of this year.
King Kong Boxing exploded on the scene with (former interim WBA Heavyweight Champion) Luis Ortiz and has fast-tracked the careers of several Cuban fighters,” said Payano. “I am very happy to be working with Jay Jimenez. And my trainer Herman has always been very honest with us and protected us from the sharks in boxing. Through his philosophy of hard work and dedication, I became a world champion. I am happy he will now be able to concentrate on training, which he is the best in the world at.
Marrero (21-1, 15 KOs) will face Peru’s Carlos Zambrano for his interim WBA World Championship, as well as the IBO World Championship, sur Février 24 in Palm Springs, Californie.
Joining the King Kong team is great, but as we see it, we have been part of this team for some time,” dit Marrero. “Jay has always helped us with anything we needed. It’s just official now. King Kong Boxing Management is looking to bring more superstar elite fighters to boxing’s forefront, through aggressive marketing and strategic alliances with top promoters in the business.
Vicente (30-3-2, 22 KOs) is one of the world’s most exciting fighters. Currently riding a five-fight winning streak, the power-punching 30-year-old is a television favorite for his all-action fighting style.
Herman has done a great job with my training and my career,” a déclaré Vicente. “He has worked very hard for me and all his fighters. Now he will get some expert help from King Kong Boxing Management. I am looking forward to a very bright future working with these two great men.

Payano, Marrero and Yenifel Vicente are superstar, elite-level fighters,” said Jimenez. “Payano is a former champion, Marrero a soon to be champion and Vicente on a fast track to becoming a champion as well. This is exactly what King Kong Boxing is interested in signing: the very best. I have no doubt that Payano will once again become champion this year. Working with Herman is easy and inspiring. He brings the same approach to his training that I do to management. He is professional, intelligent, and a no-nonsense worker.

I am very sad and ecstatic at the same time,” said Caicedo. “I have been a trainer/ manager for over 23 years and believe that the only way to develop a champion is to avoid the distractions in boxing, such as when some managers change coaches like they change underwear. Malheureusement, most of the time fighters don’t have a say due to financial restraints or influence the manager might have. I did away with that as much as possible by doing most of the managing myself. King Kong Boxing is, de loin, the best management team in the business. These three fighters are special to me because we debuted as pros and became champions together. But I have zero doubt I made the right decision for the guyscareer and future. I want to thank Jay from King Kong Boxing for the trusting in me to work with his fighters over the past few years and for having the vision in the signing of his newest additions.
