Nicknamed "The Great One", Wells began his professional career in 1997, and got off to a 17-0-2 start in the Light Middleweight division, setting up a shot at WBA Light Middleweight Title holder Alejandro Garcia in 2003. Wells was behind in the fight and was down in the 10th, and the referre stopped the bout before the 11th round. The result was a TKO win for Garcia. In 2005, Wells got a shot at a rematch with Garcia and lost via TKO in the 9th.

Roshii was one of the toughest kid's in the gym,and very likable,my family and I consider him one of the family and alway's will.I had the honor of not only coaching him,but being his friend.He would plow through whoever got in the ring with him,total domination.He was a champ in and out of the ring,it's no wonder he advanced as far as he did.I remember one year ,we had taken him to the junior olympic's in San Antonio where he [of course] made it to the final's.Anyway he had lost his mouth piece which is a no-no.because keeping your gear together is part of being discipline,anyway Martin Ortiz his head coach got on him about ,almost bringing him to tear's.When he got into the ring to fight for the gold,against a real tough kid Roshii gave that boy such a whipping,the ref. was'nt even safe in there,needless to say he won the gold..which is what Roshii was made of.I still have video of some of his fight's.You're now in the arm's of Jesus see you again David Gallardo...e-mail d.gallardo77@yahoo.com
