In front of Russell’s explosive power: Valenzuela plans to “mix

The WBA Light Welterweight champion, Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela (14-2, 9 kos), says that he thinks he will have to mix his game to fight and box in his fight against Gary Antuannel Russell (17-1, 17 kos) this Saturday night in the center of Brooklyn Barclays.

New York. This is not a struggle where Rayo can depend on win as defensive as in his shock against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz last year. Russell is too good for Valenzuela to use a strategy.

Rayo, 25, says he would like to fight Shakur Stevenson if he is victorious. He considers it to be a good test for him because it is difficult to hit. He says Shakur had trouble getting opponents, but he is willing to fight him. However, Stevenson should go to 140, and may not be willing to do it. Shakur’s promoter Eddie Hearn would probably reject the idea to fight Rayo because he is too risky.

“I will have to mix it. I will have to fight and staff. I will have to sit a little, touch the body and do a little of everything, “said Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela to Sean Zittel YouTube Channel about his fight against Gary Antuanne Russell this Saturday night.

Russell can punch. Rayo may be eliminated if he can catch him with some of his great traits. Edwin de los Santos detained him in the third round in his fight on September 4, 2022.

“It does one thing, but it is very good with what it does. It simply does not come out of this box. It is still dangerous because it is very good with what it does, but I think I have more tools in my tools set. It fights everything well and short. It’s a good fighter.

“I would like to fight Shakur Stevenson. I know no one wants to fight him at the age of 135. He is a fighter I have always wanted to fight,” said Rayo. “Because it’s hard to hit. He is a great fighter and I am a great fighter. Therefore, I would like to enter with him. “”
