Thx for posting this. I love watching great pro boxers fighting in their amateur years. I say great because Russell has that much potential imo. I'm impressed with what Russell has done so far as a pro. The speed of his punches is on another level.

G has great quick hands but notice in the 3rd round J attacked him bc there was no way J could beat him on the out side bc he couldn't match G's speed. J began to nullify G's hand speed as he got closer but then got rocked and had to get a standing 8 count. Had J gotten inside on him by the 2nd round he might have had a chance. But alil too late. Much respect to both fighters for stepping into the square circle. I look forward to seeing G as a pro.

nothing unique about his style. the problem is that the other kid doesn't know how to combat against a southpaw. it irritates me to see him adjusting is gear some much. you think the coaches would help to make him feel comfortable in his gear. other than that, good boxing.
