Chucky’s Fight
An Amazing Story About A Father And His Son And Why
Their Struggle And Courage May Save Your Child’s Life

Charles Rosa was always a tough kid. He played hockey in high school and participated in his share of street fights. When he rode his bike by mixed martial arts powerhouse, American Top Team in Boca Raton, Florida, he didn’t hesitate to stop and walk in. The gym’s owner (and Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran), Charles McCarthy, greeted him. In the blink of an eye, the 21-year old was in full kickboxing gear getting ready to spar. Little Charles (a nickname he later earned) got his butt thoroughly kicked that day. But, Charles McCarthy and the other instructors noticed something very special: Little Charles had no fear. After every kick or punch to his face, Little Charles didn’t even flinch. He just kept coming forward. In fact, with every shot he took, he came back even harder. After his sparring session, Little Charles sat down and…

Threw Off His Gear In Disgust!

“What’s wrong?” another student asked.
“I thought I was tough. I thought I could do this mixed martial arts stuff. I just got my butt kicked. I’m not as tough as I thought.”
“Do you know who you just sparred?”
“No.”
“Well, that was Cole Miller.”
Little Charles’ eyes opened wide and a smile broke across his face.
“You mean the Cole Miller that was on the Ultimate Fighter television show and fought in the Ultimate Fighting Championship pay-per-view event?”
“Yep… that would be the same Cole Miller! You should be proud of yourself… most guys can’t last 2 minutes with him.” A fire was lit and Little Charles knew he could do it. He started training at American Top Team in Boca Raton 6 days a week… twice a daymma on most days. He rode his bike 30-40 minutes each way. It wasn’t long before Little Charles started making his mark at the school. Grappling instructor Matt Welch was shocked after training with Little Charles. “I put him in chokes that would make anyone give up and he doesn’t. He just keeps fighting. In 15 years on mixed martial arts training, I’ve never seen anything like it. He never quits. He has that intangible, indescribable ‘something special’ and he’s going to be a star some day soon.” After less than a year of training, Little Charles won his first kick-boxing match by TKO. After a year and a half, he was scheduled for his first mixed martial arts fight.

That’s When The News Crews Started Calling The School…

As it turns out, Little Charles is more special than any of his coaches knew. Little Charles recently lost his two brothers to drug addiction and he narrowly escaped the same fate before walking into American Top Team. Little Charles’ Father, Chucky Rosa, was on a mission to save other children from the evils of drugs. He started “Chucky’s Fight,” where he videos himself taking a swim in the ocean every single day. If you think this is easy, check out this video on Chucky Rosa taking a dip on January 18th… in the icy waters in New Hampshire… while it’s snowing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf2-l7pgtIY Chucky Rosa is a mountain of a man and does not even appear the slightest bit cold while talking to the camera and wading into the near-frozen ocean. These frozen swims have not only saved the life of his son, but countless others who find the inspiration to walk away from drugs and live a beautiful life… and live a beautiful life is what Little Charles is doing. He’s not only one of the hardest workers at American Top Team in Boca Raton, Florida… he’s one of the most popular. He has a second family at the gym and a new outlook on life. He shows up for class early and is the last one on the mat. He is often seen working with the children… when no one has asked him to. He just takes it upon himself to help the little guys and show his enormous heart. Please, go to the youtube link above and check out Chucky’s fight and spread the word. Email it to your friends and whether you are a fight fan or not, remember the name “Charles Rosa,” because you will hear it and see him fight in the big show sometime soon.
