Alexis “Lex” Rocha’s career saw him crowned a six-time national champion, leading to his signing with Golden Boy in January 2016. Rocha’s professional debut in March 2016 was nothing short of explosive, as he knocked out Jordan Rosario at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles. Despite a unanimous decision loss to Rashidi Ellis in October 2021, Rocha bounced back with six consecutive wins and clinched the NABO Welterweight title in July 2022.
Anthony “Juice” Young entered the professional boxing scene at 23, debuting with a victory over Kywayne Hill on October 28, 2011.
