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

BOSTON (Februari 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, SÅSOM, 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, just nu, 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 sawRyan being there for his fighters and building a good relationship with him talking from time to timewe 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 (SÅSOM), 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), när han slutadeChristian 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 outWe did it intelligently and were able to hit all the marks performance-wise.”

Training and fighting during a pandemic have been challenging, minst sagt, 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 trainerJulian 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.”

Nu, Roach and Fighter Locker have Santomauro’s back, and his future is promising.

Boston featherweight Troy Anderson, Jr. Benefited from sparring with undisputed world lightweight champion Katie Taylor

BOSTON (Februari 17, 2021) – Boston featherweightTroy Anderson, Jr.  hasn’t made his pro debut yet, but he did get the opportunity to recently spar with undisputed world lightweight championKatie Taylor (17-0, 6 Kos), den 2012 Olympic gold medalist from Ireland, who was a 5-time AIBA world champion as an amateur.

The 28-year-old Anderson, who is managed by Ryan Roach’s Fighter Locker, was supposed to make his pro debut earlier this year in Mexico. He showed up but his opponent tested positive for COVID-19 and their fight was canceled.

Taylor frequently travels from Ireland to Connecticut, where she prepares for fights with her trainerRoss Enamait.    

Anderson, en fackförening Sheetmetal arbetare i lokal 17, var en dekorerad amatör som vann en guldmedalj på 2016 Rocky Marciano-turnering, samt New Englands turnering två gånger i 2018-2019, och vann Central Division i New England Golden Gloves Tournament två gånger och tvåa två gånger under hans fyra år (2016-2019) run. He also competed in three national tournaments.

Anderson benefitted from being a southpaw when his trainerMarc Gargaro, was contacted by Enamait about needing a lefthanded sparring partner for Taylor. “I’ve only sparred with her once,” Anderson said, “but I believe I will be getting more work with Katie at her training camp in the near future. I’ve already been asked back for more sparring.

“In the ring, Katie is patient, sharp, and quick with her combinations. She also doesn’t waste any movements all all. She is very tough and aggressive. Outside the ring, she is very nice, always smiling when talking, and a generous, decent human being.”

There’s nothing better for a young boxer than to train and spar with a world-class athlete, even if it’s a female against a male, the experience in invaluable.

I believe getting experience with a world champion helped me build up my confidence. It definitely opened my mind and eyes to trying new things like different movements and combinations, as well as make sure my defense and foot work was on point. Learning to become better at changing the tempo of combinations I was throwing. Also, realizing the things Katie did during and after sparring, understanding her mentality, and letting me know and see what it takes to be the best in the world, will help me grow big-time as a boxer.

“It is a little different sparring a woman but, ärligt, it helped me work on my craft in areas I’ve been trying to improve on. I am still available to give and get good, solid work and effort. It’s expanding my mind, I was still able to pick and choose when to dig hard shots to make sure I was still solidly sparring for her, unlike with guys’ majority of punches are thrown hard.

Ortiz’ managerRyan Roach kommenterade: “This is a great opportunity for Troy. Anytime you share the ring with a world champion, even sparring, is a great way to elevate your level of confidence. As many know there are a lot of levels to this sport and these opportunities are crucial in building a fighter. I am really proud of Troy. His debut got pushed back, but he’s stayed in the gym and remains positive waiting for his shot. He has a great coach and team at Nonantum Boxing.”

Sparring Taylor may not have erased the disappointment of Anderson’s pro debut being canceled; emellertid, the experience will surely make him a better fighter.

“Sparring a world champion was unbelievable,” Anderson concluded. “Just having the opportunity to step foot in the ring with world champion Katie Taylor was amazing. Literally, leading up to the day of sparring, that’s all I could focus on and think about. I was extremely locked in, because I wanted to give Katie Taylor good work and show her that reaching out to my coach Marc was not a mistake, and his words about me were solid. Seeing how Katie is when moving, throwing combinations, and on defense picking and choosing when to be aggressive and not, is unexplainable. It was truly a blessing and I will forever be grateful and thankful for the experience and opportunity to be able to spar with a world champion, Katie Taylor”

Ryan Roachs Fighter Locker undertecknar Boston fjädervikt Troy Anderson, Jr.

BOSTON (December 7, 2020) – Ryan Roach Fighter Locker har undertecknat Boston fjädervikt Troy Anderson, Jr. till ett exklusivt chefsavtal.

Anderson, en fackförening Sheetmetal arbetare i lokal 17, var en dekorerad amatör som vann en guldmedalj på 2016 Rocky Marciano-turnering, samt New Englands turnering två gånger i 2018-2019, och vann Central Division i New England Golden Gloves Tournament två gånger och tvåa två gånger under hans fyra år (2016-2019) springa. Han tävlade också i tre nationella turneringar.

Anderson, fast, började inte boxas förrän han var 23, när han gick in i ett gym för första gången, 10 år efter att hans två bästa vänner introducerade honom till boxning. “Jag började i boxning eftersom jag hoppades kunna lyckas och nå mina mål genom boxning,” Förklarade Anderson. “Jag tränar på Nonantum Boxing Club i Newton (MA), var Marc Gargaro är min tränare. Han är en av de bästa i New England. Han tränar för USA Boxing. Jag skulle inte vara i den här branschen utan honom eftersom han har byggt mig från grunden. Jag är så glad att bli coachad av honom och vi har utvecklat ett band som familj.”

Vid en ålder av 28, Anderson har bestämt sig för att bli proffs, vilken, Naturligtvis, är relativt sent i boxning. Men han känner fortfarande 21 på grund av hur han rör sig och att han inte var i fel ände av misshandel hos amatörerna. Han har också fått förtroende med några av New Englands bästa proffs och amatörer.

“Jag har jobbat mycket i gymmet tidigare 5 eller 6 år och jag blev trött på amatörerna,” Anderson förklarade varför han bestämde sig för att bli proffs nu. “Det är inte för sent för mig; andra har börjat sent som jag och blev världsmästare. Jag vill vara i den gruppen.

“Jag tackar Ryan Roach för att han gav mig denna möjlighet att gå med i Fighter Locker. Han är ärlig och jag var bekväm med honom. Jag gillar honom och vet att han kommer att hålla ett öga på mig. Varför inte skriva med en Boston-chef för att hjälpa till att sätta boxning här på kartan igen?”

“Jag är glad över att få Troy Anderson, Jr” Sa mört. “Jag har tittat på honom i flera år och han har utvecklats väl under Marc. Troy har kämpat med de bästa i landet. Han är en mycket rundad fighter. Jag är glad att lägga till honom i stallen. Han är en BOSTON-fighter och en fantastisk ung man. Det är en vinn-vinn för oss.”



Anderson inser att han måste flytta för att ställa in sina skott, kasta flera slag, och ändra vinklar. Han är en snygg sydpote som normalt inte rusar i ringen. Anderson är glad över att veta att rivande kroppsstansar kommer att få poäng, till skillnad från i amatörledningarna, och bryta ner sin motståndare. Han förutspår att han kommer att visa mer kraft än han gjorde som amatör.

“Jag drivs för att nå mina mål,” avslutade han. “Jag hoppas kunna göra min pro-debut tidigt nästa år, pågående pandemibegränsningar. Ryan har hållit sina krigare upptagna, några strider i Mexiko. Jag älskar utmaningen och kan inte vänta!”

Former college football player Jimmy “Tyst storm” Williams accepts challenge to fight 19-0 Brandun Lee

I will give Lee his first loss!”

Airing this Wednesday night on Showtime

BOSTON (Oktober 5, 2020) – “Tyst storm” planning a Perfect Storm!

Former Southern Connecticut State University football player Jimmy “Tyst storm” Williams is looking forward to shocking the boxing world this Wednesday night (Oktober. 7), when he takes on undefeated, blue chip utsikter Brandun Lee (19-0, 17 Kos) på ShoBox: Den nya generationen, airing live on Showtime från Mohegan Sun Arena i Uncasville, Connecticut.

Lee vs. Williams was originally scheduled for September 19, but it was pushed back until Oct. 7, and will be contested at a 145-pound catchweight. “It’s been a plus to have more time to prepare,” Williams spoke about the change of date. “Detta är en stor kamp för mig, and the extra time was only a few weeks. I’ve stayed sharp.

The 33-year-ol Williams (16-3-2, 5 Kos), fighting out of West Haven, Connecticut, was a cornerback in college who, as an undrafted player, was invited to NFL tryouts as a free agent by the Raiders, Chiefs, Colts and Falcons.

Främjas av Jimmy Burchfield‘s Classic Entertainment and Sports (CES), Williams will be making his debut as a member of manager Ryan Roach‘s growing Fighter Locker stable.

I think this is a great opportunity for Jimmy, Roach added. This is a big fight for us and a must win. Jimmy is up for the challenge. We’ve been waiting for this call. He has been working hard every day with his trainer, Dave Forsyth.

This is our first fight together as a team and I am really looking forward to it. I know Brandun is special, but he hasn’t seen anything like Jimmy before, and he will stop this kid in the later rounds.

Williams is a decisive underdog versus Lee, a rising star whose goal is to become the first world champion of Korean dissent. The 21-year-old Californian was a highly decorated American amateur: 3-time U.S. National Silver Gloves, 2013 PAL National and 2015 US. National Juniors champion. Emellertid, he’s never fought past four rounds and Williams will attempt to extend the gifted Lee, taking him into deep water in hopes of making him gas.
I’m honored to fight on Showtime,” Williams sade. “I never thought I’d have this opportunity in my career. My whole life I’ve been the underdog. I love the challenge and that’s what made me who I am today. I overcome things.

I thank God and my promoter, CES and Jimmy Burchfield, and my manager, Ryan Roach. I’m truly blessed. This is going to be a great fight and I will give Lee his first loss.

Williams will be fighting for the memory of his mother, Belinda Jordan Williams, who was strangled to death in 2008, and the case remains open.
