Gary Antuanne Russell Keeps A Perfect Record After Recording Stoppage Against Barthelemy

Gary Antuanne Russell (16-0, 16 KO's) of Capitol Heights, Maryland defeated two-division champion Rances Barthelemy (29-2-1, 15 KO's) of Havana, Cuba by six-round TKO at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday July 30.

The scheduled ten-round super lightweight bout kicked off Garcia vs. Benavidez telecast live on Showtime.

The fight was competitive for five rounds, as both fighters had their moments. Russell took the fight to Barthelemy and landed power shots consistently. However, Barthelemy kept coming with his own offence towards Russell and had some success.

In the six-round Barthelemy was dropped by Russell’s right hook to the temple  causing the referee to wave the fight off.

Capitol Heights, Maryland's, Gary Antuanne Russell will be fighting Saturday night for the first time without his father, Gary Russell Sr., in his corner. Antuanne, 26, will face Cuba’s Rances Barthelemy, 37.
