In a surprising turn of events, Alberto Puello pulled off a major upset by defeating Gary Antuanne Russell in a closely contested bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight went the distance, with Puello claiming victory and the WBC’s interim junior welterweight title.
Puello, hailing from the Dominican Republic, entered the fight with an undefeated record of 23-0 (10 KOs) while Russell, from Capital Heights, Maryland, boasted an impressive 17-0 record with all wins coming by knockout. The clash of styles between the two southpaws led to a messy and scrappy affair, but Puello managed to edge out Russell on the scorecards with margins of 115-112 and 114-113.
The fight had its moments, with Puello being docked a point for holding in the ninth round and Russell being given time to recover from a low blow in the 12th. Despite the lack of cohesion in the styles, both fighters showed determination and heart throughout the match.
Carlos Adames also defended his WBC middleweight title against Terrell Gausha in a less-than-dominant performance. Adames, also from the Dominican Republic, secured the victory with judges scoring the fight 119-109 and 118-110 (twice) in his favor. Despite the win, Adames failed to impress with his performance and expressed satisfaction at defending his title after a year away from the ring.
The fight saw Adames applying pressure early on, while Gausha struggled to find his rhythm and assert himself in the bout. Although Gausha showed moments of skill and efficiency with his jab and movement, Adames pushed forward relentlessly, not giving Gausha credit for his tidier work.
As the fight progressed, Gausha started to come into his own, landing cleaner shots and outboxing Adames in the later rounds. However, Adames’ aggressive style and forward movement seemed to sway the judges in his favor, despite Gausha’s efforts to control the pace of the fight.
In the end, Adames was declared the winner, but many felt that the margins on the scorecards did not accurately reflect the competitiveness of the bout. Gausha, who has faced tough competition in the past, acknowledged Adames’ strength and power but expressed disappointment in the wide scorecards.
Overall, both fights provided fans with an entertaining night of boxing, showcasing the grit and determination of the fighters involved. Puello’s upset victory over Russell and Adames’ successful title defense against Gausha added excitement to the boxing world and set the stage for future matchups in the sport.
