Jose Valenzuela Analysis: Looking to defend his honor
Valenzuela secured the championship in his latest fixture back in August of 2024, narrowly defeating Isaac Cruz by split decision. He currently holds a record of 14 wins and 2 negative outcomes, with 9 victories coming by way of knockout, having competed in just 73 rounds since his professional debut almost 6 years ago. In the early stages of his boxing life, Valenzuela faced primarily inexperienced fighters and rookies as he progressed through the lightweight division, ultimately claiming the junior welterweight title from Cruz last year in his inaugural bout at that weight class.
- Standing at 5’10” tall with a reach of 70”, he will look to take advantage of his whole body on this one.
- He possesses notable power, as 64.3% of his victories have been achieved by pushing heads to the floor.
Gary Antuane Russell Analysis: Hoping to bounce back
Russell’s recent fixture took place in June of last year, where he suffered a 12 round split decision loss to Alberto Puello for the Interim WBC belt. He boasts an impressive record of 17 wins and 1 loss, with a perfect 100% knockout ratio. This remarkable power has led to him accumulating below 60 sets of rounds since his professional start. Throughout his boxing path, he has surpassed 80% of the bout on only two occasions. The first instance was against Viktor Postol in 2022, where he secured a stoppage in the 10th round. He has gone the full distance just once, which occurred versus Puello.
- Standing at 5’10”, Russell has a wingspan of 69”.
- He does match the height of the champion while conceding just 1’ in reach.
Our boxing picks suggest this will be a closer matchup than expected.
