Iceman” Scully & Ross Training in Godfrey’s Corner
PROVIDENCE (September 8, 2007) – Unbeaten NABF cruiserweight boxing champion Matt “Too Smooth” Godfrey, rated No. 2 by the World Boxing Council, has been joined in his corner by new head trainer “Iceman” John Scully and strength-and-conditioning coach Ross Enamait, Godfrey’s manager Bret Hallenbeck announced today.
Godfrey (16-0, 9 KOs) recently relinquished his NABA, WBC Continental Americas and USNBC titles to concentrate on a major world title shot. He also is rated No. 4 by the International Boxing Federation and No. 6 by the World Boxing Association.
Scully is a former world title challenger who trains former 2-time world champion Jose Antonio Rivera, bantamweight title contender Mike Oliver and former world lightweight title challenger Israel “Pito” Cardona, who also is managed by Hallenbeck.
Ross Training (www.rosstraining.com) is owned and operated by Enamait, an innovative athlete and trainer who has designed programs specifically for boxers.
“Scully is one of the hottest young trainers in boxing,” Hallenbeck said. “Not only was he a fighter, he fought for the world title, and has trained a world champion (Rivera). He’s known Matt for years. To become a world champion, Matt needs any edge he can get and there’s no replacement for being in the best physical condition as possible. We believe Ross can get Matt into great shape and together with John, Matt can reach ta the next level, which is a world championship. We’re delighted that they’re on Team Godfrey.”
Godfrey is promoted by Jimmy Burchfield’s Classic Entertainment & Sports, Inc.

Yeah, Matt was only 165 back then. He is MUCH better than that now. And he has been on ESPN already and scored two GREAT KO's (One over Felix Cora)

Yea Godfrey is great. I watched the Cora KO. Very Very impressive. I was expecting a great fight between the two, but he just blew Cora out.
Hes in a pretty good division, and there is plenty more exciting fights for him. Unfortunely, the division isnt popular. or not nearly as popular as it should be considering this is what the heavyweights SHOULD be, and people love heavyweights...Comment
