anyone catch gary's fight last night ?? i was following gary's progress from the Olympic box-offs to the olympics, he was the US's best hope to win gold, and unfortunately he passed out from dehydration while trying to make weight in Bejing & wasnt allowed to compete
last night, he made his pro debut with a devastating 3rd rnd tko...i actually felt bad for his opponent, he was clearly outmatched & had zero chance of winning...the guy looked the part (young mexican guy, tattoos all over his neck/back/chest, very muscular & lean), but had no punching power, had off balance footwork, and not alot of speed...gary looked fast, strong & composed and he'll be a name to watch for as he comes up the featherweight ranks
we might see a superfight when pacman gets towards the end of his career: gary russell jr vs pacman
