  • Comments Thread For: Weights From Las Vegas: Gonzalez 125, Russell 125.75

    On Saturday evening at The Palms in Las Vegas, Jhonny Gonzalez defends his WBC featherweight championship versus Gary Russell Jr. SHOWTIME will televise the event, its first since agreeing to a deal to showcase Al Haymon's Premier Boxing Champions series.

    Gonzalez (57-8, 48KOs) checked in at 125 lbs. for the third defense of the title he regained with a 1st round knockout of Abner Mares in Aug. '13. Russell Jr. weighed 125.75 lbs. for his second attempt at a featherweight title. His previous shot resulted in the lone loss of his career, dropping a 12-round decision to Vasyl Lomachenko last June.

      Russell will look good/fast for the first few rounds, but he will eventually get stopped by Gonzalez late.

        Hope Russell will show an ability to make adjustments in the ring. He kept with the same losing strategy against Lomachenko for 12 rounds. I dunno, maybe that was just Lomachenko completely shutting Gary out, but Gary didn't try anything different in that fight.
