WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. (29-1) won a unanimous decision (117-111x2, 115-113) over Joseph Diaz Jr. (26-1) on Saturday in Oxen Hill, Maryland, but it wasn't easy. Russell changed angles to stay away from the bodywork Diaz established early and also clinched to smother the attack. — Luis Angel Feliciano (@Luis_Feliciano) May 20, 2018Give me Gary Russell Jr vs the winner of Leo Santa Cruz-Abner Mares fight in the fall. #Boxing — Mike Matias (@Mike__Dhcf) May 20, 2018Final scorecard, 117-111 for Gary Russell Jr. Nice sportsmanship by both at the end. #Boxing #RussellDiaz — Mike Matias (@Mike__Dhcf) May 20, 2018Just think how good Russell Jr could be if he fought more than once every decade.
