The bout is for the World Boxing Council World Featherweight
Title.
Gary Russell Jr is one of the most talented fighters in the
game right now. He lost a controversial decision to Vasyl Lomochenko for the
only loss of his career. He is regarded as having some of the fastest hands in
the sport. The one major issue with Russell’s career is that hand problems have
relegated him to one fight a year. But the one day a year he does fight its
like Christmas for me and other boxing fans. Boxing Prospects
His opponent, Martinez, is a veteran but not an accomplished
one. He suffered losses to Leo Santa Cruz, Josh Warrington, Scott Quigg, and
Carl Frampton. His best win is probably a knockout over Hozumi Hasegawa. To be
fair, he did fight Warrington to a MD loss.
