Comments Thread For: Russell Easily Stops Jhonny Gonzalez, Wins WBC Gold

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The Pearl, Palms Casino, Las Vegas - The second time is the charm. After losing out in his WBO world title fight last year with Vasyl Lomachenko, Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15KOs) blew out Jhonny Gonzalez (57-8, 48KOs) in four rounds to capture the WBC featherweight championship. Gonzalez was down three times.

Russell started fast with quick jabs. Gonzalez had a tight defense and was looking for an opening, Russell's speed was a big factor in the opening round, as Gonzalez had trouble adjusting to the challenger's style. Russell started landing more frequently in the third and punctuated the round with an inside hook that dropped Gonzalez in the final seconds.

Good win for Gary. His best performance!

[JJRod]

Wow! great win for Gary Russell.
He sensed that Gonzalez was still hurt from the 2nd round and went right after him in the third. That's the way you're suppose to do it.
The division just got that much better.
