Valenzuela vs. Russell: Key Support on the Davis-Roach Card this Saturday

Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela (14-2, 9 kos) is ready to perform an impressive performance in his first defense of his WBA Light Welterweight title against Gary Antuanne Russell (17-1, 17 kos) in the 12-round rounds of support for the Gervonta Davis vs. Lamont Roach late this Saturday, March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Valenzeula-Russell should be the main event of this card because it is a more equal contest than the Davis -oach holder. This struggle is considered a mismatch. Rayo referred to a copy of Lomachenko. The transformation he has done in his style is impressive, as he does not fight anything as before. It has become a perfect copy of Loma, but has a power of struggle that makes it dangerous.

“The Mexican Loma”, Valenzuela wins a great victory over Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz on August 3 last summer on the Turki Alralikh card in Los Angeles. Rayo made Cruz look bad in this struggle, using his boxing skills to dominate the WBA champion. The judges gave Rayo a victory of the 12 round decision, but it seemed that he had schooled Pitbull.

Rayo has won his last two fights against Cruz and Chris Colbert to turn his career. Before, he had lost two in a row against Colbert and Edwin de los Santos.

The Saturday event will be lived live at PBC in Prime Video PPV. The event starts at 20:00 ET/17: 00 Pt. The price point is $ 79.95.

Arsenal of Rayo

“I worked too much to get here. I took two harsh losses and returned, I did my things, and now I’m here, “said Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela to Fight Hub TVSpeaking of how he turned his career, he captured the WBA 140 -pound belt and will defend it this Saturday night against Gary Antuanne Russell.

Rayo has the perfect combination of skills and boxing power to defeat Gary Antunne on Saturday. On June 15, we saw Russell’s 12 loss of decision in Alberto Puello on June 15, fighting with boxers who can hit -. It was the first time that Russell had fought against someone with real talent who was not at the travel level or washed, and he got rid of.

“I have done nothing but spend my time from improving, stronger, a real 140 lb fighter, and I will be ready on Saturday night. I have more things in my arsenal. I have an IQ coefficient, good feet and I can dance if I need it. The weight goes very well. I feel strong, and this is the weight where I belong.

“When I offered this struggle, I took it. I am familiar with your brothers (the Russells). I think they are great fighters. I think it will get the best of me. If I want to be fantastic, I have to go through fighters like Gary. We are both at our first moment. We are both hot right now, we are both young and it will be a fire.

“It really does not mean anything to me. I am a totally different fighter,” said Rayo, who reacted to Beibing, said that Russell has many eliminations. “You saw what happened to his last struggle. (Alberto) Puello did a great job. I don’t think he was injured once in the fight. So I will be ready. I will be ready,” said Valenzuela.
