Masini Stable Looking To Make Big Moves In 2012

One of the east coast’s up and coming boxing manager’s, New Jersey’s Rich Masini has been building up quite a stable of fighters and has three of the brightest prospects on the East Coast in Heavyweight John Lennox, Cruiserweight Jaywon Woods and Welterweight Anthony “Juice” Young and all three not only plan to stay active but start making big moves in 2012.

All three train in the Atlantic City under the tutelage of Ray McCline and all have been improving on their trade and are ready for 2012.

Lennox of Cartert, New Jersey is trained by Charles Thomas and has amassed a record of 8-1 with four knockouts and was extremely busy in 2011 as he went 5-1 with three knockouts.

“We saw constant improvement in John and I saw the transformation in him before my eyes”, said Masini.

“The impact of Ray McCline joining Charles Thomas is profound as John was an athlete (Lennox was an All American football player at Montclair State) who can now fight

Lennox has a lot of confidence about the future.

“We are going forward with an aggressive schedule. I am just continuing from my last fight and I am just going to let my hands go”, said Lennox.

“When John fights on January 13th, it will be my third fight with him”, said McCline

“We have been working on defense and fundamentals. John has a lot of heart and grit and determination and we are trying to re insert that football mentality back in him. We like what we get out of and we look forward to more progress.

Woods is a fighter with a lot of promise and talent. The twenty-six year old of Atlantic City has boxing in his blood as he is the son of former Heavyweight contender Darroll Wilson.

Woods, 8-1 with five knockouts will be making his first appearance in eighteen months when he takes on Rayshawn Myers on January 13th in Philadelphia.

“Jaywon is the biggest X-Factor of the three”, said Masini. “I see signs with a collision Corse with a title. Even after the layoff we anticipate big things and long term success”

“By the end of the year, I want to be a candidate and up the ante and have that title by the middle of next year”, said Woods

“Jaywon is very talented and he has a great opportunity with Rich Masini”, said trainer McCline “He has great speed, strength, length and power and we are excited for Jaywon to show off those skills”

Last but not least is Young, who many on the east coast have predicted big things for.

The Welterweight from Atlantic City is 2-0 and will look to start the New Year on a positive note when he fights on January 19th in Staten Island, New York

“Without a doubt he will be champion”, said an exited Masini. “It’s not an if but when. He has a tremendous support team that is led by his family”

“I am looking forward to having ten fights in 2012”, exclaimed Young “Whether it’s a first round knockout or a decision the key is to get the job done and get the victory. On January 19th, I want to put on a good show for my fans”

McCline shares the same enthusiasm as Masini.
“The sky is the limit for “Juice”. He has a little of everything Quick hands, Quick feet, instincts, sneaky power”, said McCline, who continued with high praise

“He reminds me of a young Meldrick Taylor. He wants to fight and we have got great sparring. Boxing people will hear lot from him for the years to come.

“Rich Masini has provided these three with a great opportunity to succeed”

Masini concluded by looking forward to 2012 and beyond

“We have assembled a great team with Charles Thomas, Ray McCline and our in-house matchmaker Renee Aiken and I feel that big things are on the way for these kids”
