Gary Antuanne Russell is the reigning super lightweight WBA champion — 19-1 and holding the belt everyone in the division is chasing.
Judges are mostly decorative at his fights. 17 of 19 wins have come inside the distance, a 89% KO rate that shapes how every opponent trains for him. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
Last time out he beat Andy Hiraoka (Decision (Unanimous)) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
