Ricky Gonzalez is running the gum by himself now in New Bedford, Ray was helping but he left.
Jose Colon is still in a cell.

Coming from me, and the other ...say about 15 kids I trained with in New Bedford, Ray Oliveira is an as$hole. He treated us all like **** and always talked down on us, and he wasnt even are trainer. We met all the other pros from the area and liked them all, but we all disliked Ray. He has moodswings, once in a while hes nice but he can be a real prick. Hes a weird guy.Comment

I've sparred with 3 pros. One is named Ryan something...went 2-0 at around 160 lbs then never fought again. Just ate a lot and settled down. He is friends with Anthony Hanshaw. We went at it VERY lightly.
2nd pro I sparred was Junier Ramos. He was a beastly Cuban amateur with some serious pop but he turned pro vs Jonathan Oquendo (the Rican prospect who signed wth Golden Boy) and got beat down badly. I worked the corner with my trainer for that fight on telemundo.
The most recent pro I sparred was Smoke Gainer. He is fast as ****, and has some serious power. Dude definitely walked around at 160. Don't know how in cold hell he ever made 126 and below.Comment
