WBC Featherweight World Champion Gary Russell Jr. successfully defended his title by winning a unanimous decision over mandatory challenger Tugstsogt Nyambayar live on SHOWTIME Saturday night in a Premier Boxing Champions event from PPL Center in Allentown, Pa. Russell won by the scores of 118-110, 117-111 and 116-112.
Russell (31-1, 18 KOs) made the fifth defense of his 126-pound crown by piling up rounds early, winning the first three frames on all three cards and out landing Nyambayar in the first four rounds according to the PunchStat Report.
"We put the work in every day in the gym,” said Russell. “I'm a perfectionist. We knew we had a very tough opponent and I knew he was going to bring his physical best. He had everything to gain and nothing to lose. We just focused and showed I'm one of the longest reigning champions for a reason.
"The difference was ring generalship, hand speed and boxing IQ. He only had 11 pro fights, of course he was an Olympic silver medalist, but he only had those 11 pro fights. I've had over 30 and I think my experience was enough to overcome and win this fight.”
Nyambayar (11-1, 9 KOs) significantly picked up his punch output in the second half of the fight, but believed that he waited too long for Russell to come to him.
"It wasn't my night,” said Nyambayar. “He was the better man tonight. I didn't do my work the way I was supposed to. He is a great champion who fought a great fight. I made a mistake by waiting for him during the fight. I'd love the rematch if I can get it.”
The 31-year-old Russell is part of one of boxing’s premier fighting families as he is trained by his father Gary Sr. and brother Gary Allan. Earlier in the night, Gary Jr. worked the corner for his younger brothers, unbeaten super lightweight Gary Antuanne and undefeated bantamweight Antonio, who both posted convincing victories. For Russell, who has held the WBC 126-pound crown since 2015, he plans to stay sharp in the gym and move up in weight in order to land a fight against another big name.
"We never take a day off,” said Russell. “I'll probably be back in the gym next week. We'll keep our wheels turning and stay sharp. If we have to move up in weight for these top fighters to feel like they have an advantage and take the fight, then we'll do it."

Russell lacks power. He also is limited. And, he's boring after a couple of rounds. He's not going to be one of the greats.

Torquemont Wheeler
King Tug good pressure, more jabs, especially to central torso. Central torso to liver. Good showing Mongolian warrior. Mr. Gary Russell Jr. I saw no major body work, no combos to the body. Good win, bro, but respectfully, kinda boring. Somebody's liver got
'touched' about the 4 or 5th round.
Realtalk.

I am officially a Gary Russell Jr fan, my man can box his ass off. If he can create just a little bit more pop I see nothing but great things in the future ,even though he's a future star...
justice calo
Lost my respect for him after the ducking show he put on all 2020 never fought devin nor tank nor tank mind you this man called all of them out claimed that the contract devin Haney sent was fake idc how many fights he fights if he doesn’t make none of the moves he said he would just leave him on the duck list 🤬

Donnie Enriquez
I thought that was al haymon
Sir Miles
He could never beat Tank. Does have enough rocket fuel to hurt him, Tank is quicker and Gary gets hit to much. Tank sleeps him easy!
Gem Hook
Gary Russel is faster than tank and he hardly takes loads of shot damn keep off the pipe fool
king cain
I want to see him fight shakur stevenson....that kid has skills
Jhndrxx 2
I was literally thinking the same thing Gary going to sleep and tank can easily make 126 as long as he start training camp early
Jermane Beckford
Did you say Tank is quicker? You do know Gary Russell has the fastest hands in boxing. Lol But he doesn’t have power like Tank. Speak facts homie

Tyler Perry Shows Addicted Official Fans Shugbrown
@SilverStar don't have anything to do with being urban I know boxin, been in DA game ova 30yrs tank is freak of nature he can box , slug it out or just smooth knock you the fuckout. I been watching this young man since the amateurs you say overrated I say underrated by far the best in his class😎 and be on the lookout for shakur stevenson pure boxing genius future hall-of-famers 4sho💯
SilverStar
@Tyler Perry Shows Addicted Official Fans Shugbrown Leo was out of his prime , as swarmer( stylistically weak against a brawler like Tank) and to be frank not his proper weight class.
SilverStar
I think there is a way , to be frank Tank is a bit overrated by the more urban casual fans. He fights solely looking for the KO, and a cerebral fighter would and will take advantage of that.
jfk pres
I agree not enough power to keep tank from walking him down and finishing him late...good skills just not strong enough
john pichon
Russell vs Stevenson will be a burner
