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

Leave a comment

BOSTON (Febreiro 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, TAL, 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, agora mesmo, 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 (TAL), 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 (Novembro. 7, 2020), cando deixouChristian 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.”

Agora, 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-medios“The Amazing” Shawn McCalman(6-0, 4 Kos), U.S. Army super bantamweightDaniel Bailey, JR. (2-0, 1 KO), leveLeonel de los Santos (2-0, 2 Kos),, 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 lixeiroIgnacio Chairez (7-0-1, 4 Kos) and lightweightGabriel Chairez (3-0, 2 Kos).

Citas & 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, logo 16,00 and finally 18,000 persoas. 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.
“Estaba 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. En 2002, I got a call to work for the New York State Athletic Commission as its Community Co-Ordinator and Director of Boxing. Logo, I was made chairman and I served two terms. Hoxe, 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 e 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. Barulhento (former NYSAC chairperson Gordon), do you remember this story? There were only three judges and, desgraciadamente, one called in sick. I was sitting at ringside with no responsibilities. Randy said I had to workesta noite. 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. E 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 Estado de Nova York Boxing Hall of Fame

Leave a comment
Domingo, Abril 29, cea indución
Chocolate Kid, James J. Corbett, Jack McAuliffe and Sam Taub head new class

(L-R) – Bob and Murray Goodman
Nova York (Marzo 26, 2018) – Boxing lifers Bob Goodman eo seu pai, o atraso Murray Goodman, are among 23 members of the Class of 2018 being inducted into the New York State Boxing Hall of Fame (NYSBHOF) en Domingo tarde (12:30-5:30 p.m. E), Abril 29.
The seventh annual NYSBHOF induction dinner will be held once again at Russo’s On The Bay in Howard Beach, Nova 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) servizo. 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, quizais, 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, o anel, 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 (extrema dereita) 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, García vs. Thurman Recap and Analysis

Leave a comment

Tony Penecale (left) and Lou Duva (dereito) 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 campións do mundo, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: boxeo. 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:

Antes 13,395 fans en MGM Grand Garden Arena, Mayweather mellorado para 49-0 (26 Kos), combinando o rexistro do campión dos pesos pesados ​​tarde Rocky Marciano cunha decisión 12 redonda sobre o ex bi-campión mundial medio-medio Andre Berto (30-4, 23 Kos). No control total desde o inicio, Mayweather foi vitorioso polos correas de 120-108, 118-110 e 117-111.
Seguindo a campá final, Mayweather caeu de xeonllos na reflexión do seu acto final.
“Ten que saber cando para colgar-lo,” dixo Showtime Jim Gray no arena despois. “Estou batendo na porta; Estou preto de 40 anos.
“Eu estiven neste deporte 19 anos, foi un campión do mundo 18 anos, rompe todas as marcas. Non hai nada máis para probar o deporte do boxeo.
“Meu 49-0 rexistro é unha parte de boxeo. Os rexistros son feitos para seren rotas. Espero que un día poidamos atopar no seguinte Floyd Mayweather.
“Agora é tempo de pasar tempo coa miña familia e nenos, garantir que reciban a educación adecuada. Eu tamén quero axudar os combatentes baixo o Mayweather Promotions bandeira.
“Estou deixando o deporte con todas as miñas facultades; Eu aínda estou afiado e intelixente. Eu teño feito todo neste deporte, non hai máis nada para realizar.
“O diñeiro non me fai. Eu gañar cartos.
“Non quero me clasificar, pero eu son o mellor no boxeo.
“Quero agradecer a todos os fans que viñeron para apoiar este evento. Para 19 anos eu non sería capaz de facelo sen eses fans.
“Andre Berto ten corazón, unha tremenda queixo. Non estaba establecer, foi unha boa loita. Era un forte competidor, pero a experiencia desempeñou un papel importante nesta noite. O que podo dicir? I was the better man tonight. Non importa se eu machuquei miña man esquerda ou meu dereito, miña carreira acabou. É oficial.”
Berto estaba satisfeito co seu rendemento, pero admitiu que non estaba no nivel de Mayweather.
“Experiencia desempeñou un papel importante nesta loita,” el dixo. “Quero agradecer a toda a miña equipo, miña familia e todos de Haití que está a asistir.
“Eu estaba en forma a esta loita; el era só difícil de soster. El é esvaradío. Eu usei moita velocidade, pero é astuto reais. Estaba usando pequenas cousas para me sacar o meu ritmo.
“Cara como eu ten unha morea de orgullo. 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, empurrou-o para o límite. Pero, que quedou lonxe.”
Na segunda de dúas loitas polo título mundial na eliminatoria pay-per-view, Romano “Rochoso” Martinez (29-2-3, 17 Kos) mantivo o seu título WBO Júnior leve cun emocionante 12 rolda maioría empate nunha revancha contra catro veces campión do mundo Orlando “Siri” Partiu(42-13-3, 29 Kos).
Pegando onde parou cando loitaron nunha loita do candidato Ano pasado mes de abril, venceu por Martínez, Ambos loitadores trocaron socos para 36 minutos de acción feroz. Cada caeu na terceira rolda. Ao final dun slugfest, en que máis de 1,700 socos foron lanzados, un xuíz marcou o para Martinez (115-113), Tivo un Salido (115-113) na fronte e outro chamado aínda (114-114).
Ambos Martínez e Salido pensaban que debería ter pego a decisión e están a favor dunha terceira loita.
“Eu sempre gañou a loita,” , Dixo Martínez, que foi facer a primeira defensa na súa terceira tempada como WBO júnior campión dos lixeiros do mundo. “Eles contaron un knockdown que non era realmente un knockdown.
“El xogou unha morea de socos, pero a maioría deles non engadiu, eles desembarcaron nos meus brazos. En calquera lugar que quere que terceira loita entre nós, Vou leva-la.”
Dixo Salido, foi dúas veces campión mundial dos penas quen era o agresor en todo e entregou máis de 1,000 socos, “Eu fixen todo o traballo e eu penso que gañou a loita. Eu penso que o primeiro par de voltas foron aínda, pero entón eu tomou o control da loita despois.
“Eu estaba sempre mirando para o campionato. Como todos viron que eu xoguei máis dos socos e eu penso que gañou a loita.
“Eu dediquei moito para esa loita, para eles para levala lonxe de min non é xusto. Definitivamente, Estou preparado para unha terceira loita.”
Noutra loita polo título mundial, Badou Jack “The Ripper” (20-1-1, 12 Kos) defendeu con éxito o seu título WBC Super Middleweight do Mundo cunha suada, 12 redonda decisión da maioría para agradar a multitude no desafiante obrigatorio “Santo” George Groves (21-3, 16 Kos). Toma, que caeu Groves a finais da primeira quenda, triunfou polos correas de 116-111, 115-112 e 113-114. A sorte duro Groves, que abruptamente fuxiu do anel en descrença despois do anuncio, caeu a 0-3 en loitas polo título mundial.
Jack foi impresionante no que pode ser a súa loita máis difícil ata agora.
“Groves ten unha morea de corazón,” dixo Jack, que estaba facendo a defensa inicial do cinto do CMB el tirou de Anthony Dirrell en abril.
“Traballo de corpo está facendo a miña sinatura. Non era o suficientemente eficaz porque eu non podería nocauteá lo. Eu sentín como se despois da primeira rolda que eu podía, pero eu simplemente non podía. Non ir ao corpo abondo.
“Non penso sobre a miña próxima loita aínda, pero hai unha morea de grandes loitas para min. Oín Xullo Cesar Chavez Jr. quere loitar comigo. Quero aproveitar esta vitoria, pero vou loitar con calquera.”
A vitoria foi Jack do cuarto nunha fileira desde que sufriu a única derrota da súa carreira nunha impactante derrota por KO no primeiro round para Derek Edwards en febreiro 2014.
Groves, cuxo único outras perdas foron en back-to-back loitas contra o entón campión mundialCarl Froch, non contestou a knockdown, pero tiven un problema coa decisión.
“Eu penso que eu gañei a loita decisiva,” el dixo. “Eu penso que controlou a loita co meu jab e que eu estaba no control durante todo, aínda, it appeared closer to the judges.
“Foi un knockdown lexítimo na primeira rolda. El pousou a man dereita sobre a parte superior, pero eu teño a boa forma e eu penso que eu recibín de volta no control desta rolda. Pero todo o crédito para el aínda marcar o knockdown no primeiro round.
“Parabéns a Badou. Espero que teña un reinado de éxito como campión. Encantaríame loitar con el de novo e espero que eu vou facer mellor a próxima vez. Vou levar moito tempo para descubrir o que é o seguinte. Perder unha loita polo título mundial é o peor sentimento do mundo.”
Puerto Rico de Jonathan “Po” Oquendo (26-4, 16 Kos) superou un knockdown no primeiro round, marcou un knockdown da súa propia e chat ex campión mundial dúas divisiónsJhonny 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 gañou a maior loita da súa carreira polos correas de 95-93, un out-of-line 98-90 e 94-94.
Para Oquendo, a vitoria na súa sexta aparición no MGM Grand Garden Arena foi o 12th na súa última 14 loitas.
“Eu me sinto moi feliz,” Dixo Oquendo, que foi abandonada por un gancho de esquerda con preto dun minuto deixou no primeiro. “Jhonny González é un gran campión. 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, un ex-WBC pena dúas veces e WBO Bantamweight Campión do Mundo, foi desagradado coa puntuación, así como todas as cabeza non intencionais. Foi abandonado por unha man dereita en liña recta ou menos na 2:00 marca da segunda.
“Os xuíces favoreceron moito del,” González dixo. “El mantivo a cabeza me inmiscíndose. El só non foi ben. Así que me derrubou, nada aconteceu. Eu só teño a volta por cima.”
Nunha loita Sábado que foi ao ar durante “Conta atrás en directo” na canle Showtime antes do telecast pay-per-view, de toda a vida contedor Middleweight Júnior Vanes Martirosyan (36-2-1, 21 Kos), de Glendale, Calif., marcou dous knockdowns a camiño de gañar unha decisión por maioría 10 redonda sobre o ex-campión IBF £ 154- Ishe Smith (27-8, 12 Kos) de Las Vegas, polos correas de 97-91 dúas veces e 95-95.
“I feel awesome. I worked hard and it paid off. I hadn’t seen my family in 10 weeks. I was in training in the Bay Area,” Martirosyan dixo. “Foi estaban comendo 100 enfiar unha rolda. I knew he was a Mayweather fighter and I was going into the fight already down five rounds.
“Eu sabía que tiña que gañar. Meu canto me dixo para entrar e divertirse, pero eu quería nocauteá lo.
“Eu sabía que así que conseguiu o primeiro knockdown que tiña que seguir. Eu non creo que ía levantarse a partir do segundo knockdown. Nunca fora abandonada antes. El loitou unha serie de grandes loitadores e eu derrubei el dúas veces.”
Ferreiro, o primeiro nativo Las Vegan para capturar un título mundial, sentiu a loita foi moito máis axustado.
“O primeiro knockdown non era serio. Só me colleu na parte de atrás da cabeza. O segundo foi lexítimo, pero levanteime me preparado para volver a el,” Smith dixo.
“Seis puntos é ridículo. Eu penso que era máis preto 95-95 ou 95-94. Eu só penso que era moito máis preto do que os dous xuíces, e meu canto continuou dicindo que era real preto. Pero espérase unha loita dura de (Martirosyan). El é longo, esguio e un perforado bo, pero é por iso que eu quería entrar e loitar con el alí.
“Só loitou un inferno dunha loita contra o Non. 3-loitador clasificados na nosa división. Eu teño unha morea esquerda. Estou empurrando estes faces ao límite. Non tiran nada del. El é un dos mellores do mundo e eu son un ex-campión mundial. Nós deu aos fans unha gran loita esta noite e eu vou volver en breve.”
Tamén no “Conta atrás en directo,” prometedora invicto leve Gervonta Davis de Baltimore mellorado para 12-0 con 11 nocautes, rexistrando un 1:34, TKO no primeiro round sobreRecky Dulay (8-2, 5 Kos), de Manila, Filipinas.
