Gary Antuanne Russell (18-1, 17 costs) says he wants to avenge his loss to the WBC Light Welterweight Champion Alberto Puello, after his one-sided 12-round victory over WBA champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela (14-3, 9 KOs), last Saturday night at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn. New York. The scores were 119-109, 119-109 and 120-108.
To take revenge
It still bothers Russell, and lost last summer on June 15 with a 12-round decision against Puello (24-0, 10 COs). He blames his loss by choosing on the coast after building an edge on Puello. He says he did not make the same mistake in his victory over Valenzuela last Saturday night. This is true.
Russell did not allow, but he also frozen in the last three rounds with giant shots that often frozen him in his tracks. Rayo loaded full drill, and those shots had intentions. If he is fighting against Puello, they will kick him off the floor with a spatula. Russell is fighting with anger and it is not good against a fighter like Puello.
“I shoot for Alberto Puello. He can lose all his titles. I still have to fight against him. I feel like it’s a proud thing, and I don’t feel like he’s beating me anyway. But you have to see me again, ”says Gary Antuanne Russell at the Press conference after battle After upsetting WBA lights of welterweight champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela last Saturday night in Brooklyn.
Russell has to think hard before taking the re -broadcast with Puello, because that man was much stronger and firmer compared to Rayo Valenuzela. If he thinks he has improved since his 12-round division loss against Puello on June 15 last year, he is wrong. Russell is the same fighter. The only thing that changed was that he was fighting against a weaker enemy, which was fragile than he could break with pressure.
Next orders?
“I’m glad he got my belts because it would be so much bigger now. So, when I hit him, I have his silence. I did not deviate. Against Puello, I felt like I was enough rounds to be freelance to make it still entertaining. I did not deviate this battle. If you pay attention, you listen to my brother (Gary Russell).
“He was like,” You have to listen. Do it, do it, “and I follow orders,” says Gary Antuanne. ‘Many times with other fighters, you get caught up with a clean shot, and it makes you want to rage so much more and you start to deviate from the game plan.
“I caught up a few shots, but I made sure I had a clear conscience and I made sure I stayed focused, listened, followed the instructions, not deviant,” Russell says.
The way Gary Antuanne fought last Saturday was that he was At all times ‘deviant’, That’s why his brother, Gary Russell, regularly told him to stop pushing so hard. He fights against emotion and anger against Rayo. Russell did not follow orders. It was all on anger-based, revenge battle from him. Therefore, his face seemed to have been transferred by a truck by the end of the fight.
For example, when Valenzuela caught him with a shot, he immediately attacked two or three hard bumps.
While Russell got away with the use of the approach, he took more punishment than he would otherwise have had if he followed his brother’s instructions. He rarely followed his advice. He always attacked Rayo immediately when he was hit. That’s why he ends with two stuffed eyes. Antuanne Russell is a hot head.
