Russell vs Diaz FULL FIGHT: May 19, 2018 | PBC on SHOWTIME
Спорт
Featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. defended his WBC title against Top-ranked challenger Joseph Diaz Jr. via a unanimous decision victory in his home state.
In the main event from MGM National Harbor in Maryland, it was a tactical and hard-fought battle of two former U.S. Olympians as Russell Jr. (29-1, 17 KOs) defeated Diaz Jr. (26-1, 14 KOs). Russell won the contest via unanimous decision, 115-113 and 117-111 twice, to retain his WBC featherweight world title. The 29-year-old hometown favorite used his hand speed, quickness and relentless attack to overwhelm Diaz Jr., the previously undefeated top-ranked contender.
Russell Jr.’s game plan to dictate the pace and establish the jab was clear, throwing a career-high 587 jabs throughout the 12-round battle. While the number of punches landed were close (199-192 in favor of Russell Jr.), Russell Jr.’s output trumped Diaz Jr.’s accuracy as the champion’s career-high 992 punches thrown were the most ever for him in a CompuBox tracked fight. Diaz Jr. was committed to attacking the body of Russell Jr., but he was unable to break the champion down, who injured his right hand in the third round.
“We train to survive those body shots,” said Russell Jr. “We put the work in every day in the ring. We consistently grind and push ourselves to be great and we push ourselves to the limit.
“I was disappointed in my performance because I wasn't planning on going the distance. I hurt the right hand, but I still had to use it, because he could not get past my jab.”
Diaz Jr. showed heart and youthful enthusiasm, closing the fight with a strong final round but ultimately, he lacked the creative, diversified attack needed to truly trouble Russell Jr.
“The game plan was to break him down with the body shots and start attacking him more in the later rounds,” said the South El Monte, Calif. native. “But I started attacking him too late and didn't pick it up until the 8th or 9th round. Gary Russell Jr. is a tremendous fighter and he did a great job keeping me at bay.”
“This will just make me a hungrier fighter. I hope I got the respect of a lot of fight fans. I wanted to become champion against the best featherweight fighter in the world. Tonight wasn't my night but I'm going to bounce back harder and I'll be champion soon.”

Why. it was all Russel can show against realy good fighters. Diaz was to passie at the start and Mid tounds. Russel was nearly empty but only in the 12th.. the unexperience of Diaz saved his crown. You had seen against Loma... he made a terrible job. Hes a Hypejob. Not there for much longer. When the unexperienced fighters go out to fight against... he burns fast.

That one announcer was biased as hell towards Diaz
I want to see GRJ go against Inoue. GRJ would have to go lower in weight, but that would be an awesome fight.
10th and 11th to Russell...that jab must hurt cuz Diaz ain't trying to f' with it...
Diaz was too slow puncher than Russell and Diaz has no quick answers to those snap jobs...
The referee got bought by the Russell team.
Gary a Dog was in tremendous shape for this fight boxed his ass off literally had nothing left gave it his all took good punishment to the body face still smooth that jab won the fight.

Cari wasit itu jangan cari yang pincang.biar pengelihatan nya engak pincang juga. russell yang melakukan kesalahan Diaz yang di peringati..menurut aku Diaz lah yang menghibur..yang benar2 mau bertarung.

A este tal Díaz la pelea fue en el 2018 hoy no se que será o por donde andará..pero vi esta pelea y no le vi ni le veo futuro en el box o talvez si pero como saco de box porque recibe y aguanta muy bien los golpes....se supone que en este ofició lo ético es golpear y no dejarse golpear es mi opinión!!
Hanya bertahan dgn diubel cover tdk bisa, kesempatan pukul tdk ada, pelatih bisa lihat, 12 ronde tdk ada pukulan yg berarti hh
Round 4:Diaz shots land clean, Russell's do not. He's hitting half gloves...Diaz doesn't throw much but he lands clean.

The only difference is their personalities? LOL! So suddenly being naturally more agile and having faster reflexes and thicker bones doesn't count?
Parese ketiene una piedra dentro der sapato
if there is one thing Diaz did not do in this fight that he needs to do, it's to tell the referee to step back too.
Jab saved russel
Jojo Diaz is lack of punches and he is punching bag by the russel
Great boxing from both sides and Diaz is a class act!
Love how Russell reps that Nubian Egyptian head dress. More black fighters need to do this
you better sleep Dias your fight is not worthy
The referee get on Diaz case when Russell is pushing and using his head ???
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
No punch Diaz
8th to russell
That 'step back' biased referee, should never work again, he is bad for boxing.
This shit didn't work with Haney loll

Arbitrul cred că are ceva cu Diaz că numai el greșește !!!!
The announcers are so racist and bias by talking OVER THE FIGHT WHEN GARY RUSSELL IS SCORING ALL THROUGH THE ROUNDS AND ONLY SPEAKING OF THE FIGHT WHEN DIAZ THROWS A PUNCH. GARY RUSSELL IS SCORING ALL THROUGHOUT THE ROUNDS WHILE THE ANNOUNCERS ARE TALKING "OVER" THE FIGHT. SO RACIST!
to much double cover..why..

Por que este m3ndigo de referi le llama la atencion a diaz si el moreno es quien lo jala de la cabeza incluso lo aprieta hacia bajo con fuerza y de todas maneras le llama la atencion a diaz estos referis aun siendo viejo y sin abilidad para seguir el curso de una pelea de esta envergadura por que se la dieron a el esta bien que le den trabajo en una pelea en cuelquiera de el canelo alvarez pues esas peleas todas son como en camara lenta pero en estas que son de altura deja micho que desear este referi
Diaz just young... but he got gumption & he a naturalbaddass Russell talent is awesome awesome awesome but he's a dump fighter
referee is so bias. its obvious that he's protecting russel from diaz .
12th to Diaz...that fight was Diaz's to win, he just wouldnt punch unless he was completely set...
U in TV g vyy
Referee really sucks
He's no Floyd he does not make boxing intersting he makes it boring

I thought Jojo was going sweet this one out...
It was a good win for Russell but he still 126 and guys done move up twice and Russell still 126..there's no money there bro..go to 130 135 you been 126 day one
Yeah and he got the lost against the ucranian

Diaz was fighting the network the referee and the judges also. When boxing stops giving shoeshiners the wins then it will be great again. Clearly Diaz did the damage.

Diaz is a lousy boxer
Russell only picks on non factors! He stepped up once and lomancheko stopped the streak
Sorry Russell is speed with no substance. Please do not let your money annoy can't spell don't care p a lot of hype no reality. He's just. Whatever
5th to Diaz...Again, Russell is half landing, not much clean...Diaz lands clean...
7th to Russell...Diaz needs to start punching from farther out and not wait until he's set. He needs to fake the jab, roll to the right, then go left hook body, left hook head. Or just lead with right hand while he's walking down 😂 n
Wake me up for last round please
2nd and 3rd went to Diaz...Gary looks flashy but nothing landed
