and who is that lil pinoy boy who assists roach now? he been with them for good minute now, but who the fuc k is he?>
the lil bionic boy was training khan for the garcia fight, lol.
Tried looking him up, but couldn't find much. From what I know I thought Roach met him through Pacquiao and brought him on as an assistant, basically to be there with Manny when he couldn't. Now, Roach goes off and trains his biggest fighters at their best moments and when another fighter needs attention at the same time, his assistant (Marvin Somodio) takes over.
Have heard Freddie say a couple times that when he retires, he will turn over his gym to Marvin.
This is a story from Last October:

"The Filipino Freddie Roach," Marvin Somodio is humbled by the recognition

Ace HBO boxing announcer Jim Lampley erroneously called him Marvin SONSONA, (a former Filipino world champion), two weekends ago during the Miguel Cotto- Delvin Rodriguez fight.


Last Saturday, newly minted WBO junior welterweight champion, Ruslan Provodnikov called him “The Filipino Freddie Roach” after their successful exploit in Denver, Colorado.

Trainer Marvin SOMODIO was grateful of the recognition alluded to him by his boxer in front of the world when HBO’s Max Kellerman did his customary post-fight interview with the victor.

Somodio, like his boxer, is in Cloud 9 after their scintillating knockout of hometown fighter and former champ, Mike Alvarado. He was uneasy of the praises alluded to him by Provodnikov during that interview, but happy that their hard work produced the results they wanted.

“I am happy and I just smiled sir. There is only one Freddie Roach. I am thankful that he has taught and trusted me with both small and big fights. I still have plenty to learn.,” Somodio told this Philboxing.com correspondent after their victory.

It has been a memorable year for the young trainer from Roach’s Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, where he moved from Baguio City, Philippines last year. He has acquainted and trained Roach’s stable of fighters, both prospects and superstars, in boxing and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).

This month has been the most memorable for Somodio and the Wild Card team. Roach with him as his assistant, were instrumental in the brilliant performances of Provodnikov and Cotto.

And when Provodnikov won his first world title last Saturday, the young trainer who was the main man in that corner and in the last two weeks of camp, was thankful of the opportunity granted to him by his mentor who cannot make it to Denver from the Philippines where he is training another boxer of his, superstar Manny Pacquiao.

“Firstly, I thank Freddie who trusted me and the one who gave me this big responsibility.”


Secondly, I thank Ruslan who also trusted me and of course, the whole team, with Gavin MacMillan, our strength and conditioning coach, for his superb work and Vadim (Kornilov) who trusted me from the very beginning,” The trainer added.

It was a dream come true for the former Philippine national team member in boxing who like his boxer, also achieved his first world championship title with him as a trainer on fight night. Somodio, who has a very short three fight stint as a pro, has gone a long way from the Shape-Up Boxing Gym of Baguio City where he started as a trainer for his fellow Filipino fighters.

“I am very happy. It was my dream that someday, the world will see that we Filipinos are not only excellent boxers but also that we are good teachers of the sport.

Somodio flew back to Los Angeles after the fight with MacMillan and on Tuesday evening en-route to another big assignment, this one to his homeland, the Philippines, to help Roach train countryman Manny Pacquiao, whom he has assisted since 2009.

Happy but humbled by his recent success, the Iloilo and Baguio City boxer turned trainer, admitted that, despite their big victory last Saturday, despite his new moniker, he knows he is still an apprentice and a beginner, with no less than the Hall of Famer as his mentor.

“I know that I am just starting as a trainer and that I will be continuously learning. I am proud to be a Filipino,” expressed Somodio.

AB averaged 61 punches thrown a round against Carlos Molina landing at 43%:sas1:


Even threw 96 punches in round 7:sas2:


I agree though, he HAS to let his hands go. He throws beautiful combinations and connects so cleanly, but he has to take that same mindset he had against Molina about throwing tons of punches, and keep it for future fights:manny:


He has the tools to be a force, he just has to use em.
Are you really defending those bytchmade "punches" Broner threw:mjlol:





Showtime aint even replay that lil nikka:stopitslime:

By Anson Wainwright

Earlier today BoxingScene.com was advised by sources out of Japan that Katsunari Takayama, the IBF strawweight champion, and Francisco Rodriguez Jr., the WBO 105-pound boss, will meet on August 9 in Monterrey, Mexico.

The intriguing looking fight pits the 31-year old boxer Takayama 27-6, 10 stoppages with 1 No-Contest versus the heavy handed 21-year old Rodriguez 14-2 with 10 knockouts.

Editor's Note: The August 9 headliner marks just the fifth title unification bout in the history of the strawweight division. Kazuto Ioka defeated Akira Yaegashi (now the lineal flyweight king) in 2012, the first time two reigning titlists from Japan met in a unification fight. The other three occasions all involved Ricardo Lopez in the 1990's (TKO5 Alex 'Nene' Sanchez in 1997; a technical draw with Rosendo Alvarez in 1998 and then a split decision win over Alvarez in their rematch later that year). – JD
We're doing big things down at strawweight :obama:

Breh...why even waste your time entertaining that silly shyt. :dahell:

I knew i was done discussing boxing or any sort of combat sport with nikkas outside the RING when a handful of dudes in that "freekie london" thread a while back were seriously implying that people who WATCH MMA...not train in...but WATCH MMA regularly have a better chance in a street fight against a nikka who box for a living.
