Gary Antuanne Russell (18-1, 17 Kos) says he wants to avenge his defeat against the Light Welter Welter Champion of WBC Alberto Puelo after his unilateral victory at 12 unanimous rounds against the 140 LB WBA Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela champion (14-3, 9 ko) on the last Saturday evening at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. New York. The scores were 119-109, 119-109 and 120-108.
Seek revenge
He still disturbs Russell, losing against Puello (24-0, 10 ko) by a shared decision of 12 laps last summer June 15. He blamed his loss by choosing on Coast after having built an advance on Puello. He said he did not make the same mistake in his victory over Valenzuela last Saturday evening. It’s true.
Russell did not abandon, but he was also taken with gigantic blows which appeared him on his traces several times during the last three laps. Rayo charged the full bore and these shots had direct elimination intentions. If he fights like that against Puello, they will bring him back from the ground with a spatula. Russell fights with anger and it is not good against a fighter like Puello.
“I shoot Alberto Puello. He can lose all his titles. I have always been able to fight it. I have the impression that it is a pride, and I don’t feel like fighting anyway. But you have to see me again, “Gary Antuanne Russell told Gary Antuanian Press conference after fighting After destroying the Welters Wba Light Jose ‘weight champion’ Rayo ‘Valenzuela last Saturday evening in Brooklyn.
Russell must think hard before he took the revenge match with Puello because this guy was much stronger and more solid compared to Rayo Valenuzela. If he thinks he has been improved since his loss of decision divided into 12 rounds against Puello on June 15 of last year, he is wrong. Russell is the same fighter. The only thing that changed is that he was fighting a weaker enemy, who was more fragile than he could break with pressure.
The following orders?
“I’m glad he had my belts because now it will be even bigger. So when I beat him, I have his silence. I did not divert. Against Puello, I felt that I was enough rounds for a kind of freelance to make it entertaining. This fight, I did not deviate. If you pay attention, you listen to my brother [Gary Russell].
“He was like” you have to listen to. Do this, do it ” and I am orders, “said Gary Antuanne. “Often, with other fighters, you get caught with a clean shot, and that makes you want rage even more and you start to deviation from the match plan.
“I was caught with a few shots, but I made sure to have a clear conscience and I made sure to stay focused, to listen, to follow the instructions, and not of deviation,” said Russell.
The way Gary Antuanne was fighting last Saturday was that he was “Deviation” at any time, This is why his brother, Gary Russell, often told him to stop pushing so hard. He was fighting on emotion and rage against Rayo. Russell did not follow orders. It was all that was based on anger and the revenge type fights. This is why his face seemed to have been overturned by a truck at the end of the fight.
For example, each time Valenzuela caught up with a shot, he immediately attacked with two or three hard punches.
While Russell came out with the use of this approach, he took more punishment than he would have done otherwise if he had followed his brother’s instructions. He has rarely followed his advice. He still attacked Rayo immediately when he was struck. This is why he ended up with two swollen eyes. Antuanne Russell is a hot head.
