Tommy Rainone (born January 8, 1980 in Rockville Centre, Long Island, New York) is an American welterweight boxer nicknamed 'The Razor'.〔(Tommy Rainone forgets 2009, looks for big 2010 )〕 His current record is won 23 ( KO 5)+ lost 6 (KO 0) and one draw. He is trained by Jorge Gallardo, a veteran of 85 amateur and 21 pro fights, out of the Westbury Boxing Club in Long Island, New York. Former IBF junior welterweight champion Jake Rodriguez has often assisted in Rainone's training and has worked his corner many times.〔http://www.newsday.com/sports/he-s-got-moxie-plainview-s-rainone-is-unbeaten-and-sells-tickets-to-his-own-fights-1.552534〕 ==Early life== Tommy "The Razor" Rainone's love affair with boxing began at the age of seven. After watching Rocky for the first time, the Plainview Long Island native began to seek out a gym where he could pursue the sport that had suddenly captivated him. His search would prove fruitless until the age of 17 when he stepped into the Westbury Boxing Club.〔http://westburyboxingclub.org/fighters/professional/tommy-the-razor-rainone/〕 Boxing couldn't have entered his life at a more appropriate time in his life. “There’s no question about it, I was definitely able to channel a lot of my anger as a youth into boxing." Rainone was a troubled teen. He had been kicked out of several schools. After middle school, he was sent to live with his father on Staten Island. His father placed him in an all boys Staten Island Catholic School hoping the added structure would set the young man straight. It didn't work out as intended. "You can’t take a kid who has been getting into trouble in public schools his whole life and put him in a Catholic school. I was a freshman at the time and it only took me about three months to get kicked out of that school. I went back to Long Island from there. "My teenage years I was a very frustrated and angry person. I just had an attitude that the world was against me and boxing was an incredible outlet for me. Once I started getting into boxing I put the rest of the troublemaking off to the side and started really getting focused with my life.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tommy Rainone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
