Gary Russell Jr. Scorches Foe as Olympians Win in Indio
24-year old 2008 U.S. Olympian Gary Russell (21-0, 13 KO) of Capitol Heights, Maryland, continued his steady rise as a professional with a highlight reel third-round knockout of replacement foe 21-year old Roberto Castaneda (20-3-1, 15 KO) of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, on Friday night at Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, California. Both men weighed in near the Featherweight limit on 126 lbs., Russell at 126 ¾ and Castaneda at 125. Russell landed a booming left cross from his southpaw stance and knocked Castaneda off balance but Castaneda quickly got his feet back set.

Gary Russell Jr. Destroys Castaneda; Olympians Win
In a battle of undefeated prospects, Junior Middleweights Daquan Arnett (9-0, 6KOs) and Jeremiah Wiggins (10-1-1, 5KOs) put on a fun fight as Arnett’s skill overcame Wiggin’s aggression as he stopped him in the 4th round. Arnett was in control of the fight after the first 2 rounds as he landed his right hand and left hook to the body almost at will. In the 3rd round however, Wiggins landed a hard right hand in an exchange that hurt and dropped Arnett. Visibly hurt, Arnett held on and moved until he got his legs back. In the 4th round, Arnett pinned Wiggins on the ropes after landing a right and left hand combination. Arnett battered Wiggins with a barrage of punches that caused Wiggins to fall through the ropes and forcing the ref to call an end to the fight.
