So we’re pretty close.”ġ19 lbs/54 kg: Gary Russell, Jr., Capitol Heights, Md./USA stopped Peter Moyshenzon, ISR, RSCO-3 (1:03) “”We all have unity, you can see it when we box, everyone’s here, everyone’s cheering for each other. First we have to represent ourselves, we want USA to be proud, that’s what we are trying to do.” “I’m not sure if we’ve made believers out of anyone.
We are a team, we stick together and have everyone rooting for us and its definitely motivation.” You want to just be relaxed, the whole ride here, we were just having fun and joking. “I try not to let myself think about it (being close to qualifying), because when you start thinking about it, you start getting tense. “Health is a concern for me, I’m sick right now, my throat’s real sore, I have a sinus infection and an ear infection.” “In the second round, they told me to take off my power because they didn’t want me to hurt my hands.” Then that’s when you might change up if your coaches tell you to.” You can’t listen to your coaches until you get back into the corner. When you’re in the ring, you have to be able to be mentally skilled to see what changes to make in the ring.
Your coaches are basically your last line of defense. “When you come in with a game plan, you have to stick to it unless your coaches tell you not to. “I never knew the score, I tried something new today, I tried not to worry about the score and just compete, just box.” I wanted to put a little power on it and let him know that I was there,” Russell said. “I saw that he was kind of tall, he was a little bit taller than me so I just wanted to but the pressure on him.
The 19-year-old peppered Moyshenzon with left hands throughout the first minute of the second round, building up a 21-1 advantage at the 1:03 mark to take the stoppage victory. He took a commanding 11-1 edge into the second round of action. Russell kept the pressure on his moving opponent giving him a second standing eight count late in the first. Russell took control immediately, showcasing his patented speed and power, and dropping Moyshenzon to the canvas with a hook only 30 seconds into the bout.
Russell’s victory sets up a third round bout with fellow 2005 bronze medalist Ali Hallab of France on Tuesday, October 30. (Capitol Heights, Md.) opened Friday’s World Championship action, needing only three minutes to stop Israel’s Peter Moyshenzon.
