Russell vs Santiago FULL FIGHT: November 27, 2021 | PBC on Showtime

Unbeaten bantamweight contender Gary Antonio Russell (19-0, 12 KOs) earned a close majority decision win by edging Mexico’s Alexandro Santiago (24-3-5, 13 KOs) in an action-packed fight that kicked off the telecast.
"I thought I won the fight and I thought I clearly out boxed him,” said Russell. “He was tough and tried to be rugged and aggressive. I had the headbutts from my last fight in the back of my mind, so I tried to keep it clean and get my rounds in.”
In a back-and-forth fight, Russell seemed to take the early lead with an effective jab and speed advantage that allowed him to land combinations from the southpaw stance. Russell out landed Santiago in each round across the first half of the fight, before Santiago began to turn the tide.
"It was a very close fight today,” said Santiago. "I have to press more to get the judges to see the fight in my favor. I saw in the beginning rounds that he was very repetitive. If I was more aggressive in the early rounds, I could have pulled off the win."
"He was rough and he didn't want to keep it clean, so I had to fight on the inside,” said Russell. “He's a shorter fighter so I knew he was going to try his best to get on the inside against me.”
Throughout the middle rounds Santiago was able to close the distance and had success to the body, out landing Russell 51-23 in that department overall. With the contest in the balance, the final two rounds saw both men engage in toe-to-toe action looking for a blow to swing the bout in their favor.
After 10 rounds, Russell earned a narrow decision and remained unbeaten, with scores of 95-95 and 96-94 twice.
"I feel like I'm ready for the champions,” said Russell. “I'd love to fight John Riel Casimero for his belt. But I'll fight any of the champions. People can look at this and say I'm not ready for the next step. But I know what I'm capable of."

The referee is not warning Russel for holding

[@aaronhahn7246]

Santiago won IMO. More aggression. More punches. More landed... I guarantee. Should have shown the compubox numbers. Judges always favour an undefeated score card.

[@bhatch5680]

nah he lost

[@randomVandollz]

No russel shut him out after the 7th but Santiago tried though .tremendous body work

[@rojai9673]

Can you guys upload Subriel Matias vs Malik Hawkins?

[@randomVandollz]

Goodness when Santiago started to do that body language.. by round twelve I was like "what's a skill gap"

[@devinguillebeaux155]

Left hook to body by Santiago 1:50 left in fifth round was punishing. Russell's toughness is top knotch

[@AllThingsFilm1]

The commentator seemed only capable of calling punches by Russell. The stiff arming by Russell was given a pass by the ref. Typical boxing match.

[@asekhotalie1688]

Commentator is one-sided.

[@RoyPersonalChannel]

The Ref obviously favored russel every time he got cornered by Santigao the ref came in to rescue..just my observation. Draw should have been the verdict.

[@egige59dima74]

Right, I fully agree with You 👍

It was a Good Fight!! I feel it was a Draw as well, Russell started off Strong and Santiago Finished Strong!! They Both Made their Fighting Presence Felt in the Middle of the Fight In My Humble Opinion.

Draw for sure!

[@bracerokikito]

La pelea de Brandon Figueroa fue un robo de los más asquerosos que han habido yo no sé cómo los jueces se prestan para robarle una pelea a un boxeador sabiendo que hay personas viendo esa pelea y que saben de boxeo que van a saber que es un robo pero solo les importa el dinero que les dan y no en que le están jodiendo la carrera a una persona que se a jodido para llegar donde llegó son unos fregados

[@vamoneygroup]

Stop it. Figueroa lose the fight and you know it

[@redeyexxx1841]
