What you're seeing is a great game plan from the Russells. Boots is slick and the only way to defeat him then and now is to be in his chest and not give him any room to maneuver. This is the kind of strategy that works against a slick fighter. The only problem with doing this in the Pros, is that you have to be able to keep it up for 6,10, or 12 rounds.
Great comment.
Excellent observation!💯
hmmmm theres a young man who is 17-0 with that exact same style of pressure and I hear some people saying boots would wash Ortiz. I dont think so.
Boots is a lot stronger and denser now, and hits like a mule. I don’t think there’s many people that would make it to his chest, before they make it to the canvas💤
@Isaiah Turner are you drunk? Ortiz is bigger and faster than ennis objectively.
This is great. Future champions battling it out as kids. Teofimo had just fought too. That’s fantastic footage
Gary is ranked #3 at 140 rn. So many great fights.
Dang Gary was a busted looking kid. Lol😂😂😂 That fro though
@@aaronthompson8300😂😂😂
If u watch any of these two guys fight as champs you can see the early development stages of those styles in this vid automatic like for me
Good ref. He's actually allowing them to fight inside and grapple a bit. Its hard to find a ref like him these days in boxing!
Nashville Dude yeah especially in the trials
All that touching is not necessary. You suppose to be boxing, not dancing.
@@lordbyron2778 Infighting is boxing.
The referees these days make you think they are paid.
@@lordbyron2778 ironic, cause boxing looks way closer to dancing than clinching does
I concur with King of bubbles; the clinch, guard manipulation and infighting are all part of the sport
Man that was 50/50 I would had call it a draw 😳 the power shots landed between the 2 😳 mouth pieces flying combinations hand speed timing precision 🤯🤯🤯💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Don't know about timing and precision because lots of volume and many missed.... but don't be impressed with an amateur fight so much. It's only 3 rounds so they can go all out and get hit more as they are still young fresh and not got that grown man power yet... plus punches in bunches gets less power
In the pros it will be totally different, russell keeping it up all 12 will be tough
And 2-4oz less gloves as well in the pros
This not the pros. It’s about how many punches you land. The more punches the more points that’s how you win
@@jasongreen7860Exactly because during the Spence vs Crawford fight the first 3 rounds weren't too exciting. Bud won both the 2nd and 3rd round but short fights don't tell us much. This is why Floyd lost some amateur fights. You don't even get a chance to warm up.
You can tell boots is a pro fighter he picks his punches and gets stronger throughout the rounds
The one in the blue look like Willis from Different Strokes😂
Dude, Russell don't look sh*t like Willis. You must be white.
tsmith11 😂😂
Look more like Craig Mack
@@tsmith11 That dude is referring to the hairstyle.
What the Fuck you Talk’n Bout Willis !!!!!
Russell countered beautifully
The Gary Russells are duplicating themselves like agent Smith in this bish.
I feel like that Dave Chappelle skit about the Wayans bros.
“There’s more?!”
😂
Shit got me ctfu 😂
lmao
😂😂😂😂
😂
Boots have improved so much! man is a problem
Great upload. Truly shows both of their hearts and growth seeing them fight now as Pro’s.
Especially Boots… he didn’t keep that left hand up after throwing with either hand, kept his head on the center line, his shots were looping at times and he wasn’t switching between southpaw and orthodox!!! Russell’s defense has gotten better but he’s still pretty much the same fighter
Damn! How many Gary Russell's are there!?
Candyslim501 Right!!!
About 40 of them mothafuckas
They all named the same different middle name
4
George George George and George
Man this was a great ass scrap shoutout to dem Russell boyz
Russell used the jab , worked the inside ( took away Ennis range) and applied pressure. Obviously years later Ennis has gotten much better. The later rounds 2 & 3rd Ennis picked it up 👍 awesome fight.
So Ennis got better because he looks good fighting average fighters in the pros? Doesnt make sense.
Gary stepped it up as well he ain't the only one.
Years later Ennis keeps taking clean right hands..
Ennis is nowhere close to Russell's skills
@@godsmorning825 Household names at 147 don't want any part of Boots tho.
Gary Antuanne Russell jr. Very calm and calculated. Good ingredients for the game of Boxing
Your comment didn't age well. 😆
They both so damn athletic I love it
Jaron was tagging him a lot. It was a close fight though but people act like Russell dominated Ennis? Smh
Who is people..... I've heard no one say either got dominated. People just big up the one who came out with a win.
@@YaMommasNextDoorNeighbor a lot of haters and casuals of the sport. I seen plenty of people discrediting ennis, hell it’s people discrediting him in the comment section of this video lol
@@envythagod8699 ....I think that's just what you are focused on.... Majority of the comments here are talking about how good of a competition this was and what these 2 will be able to do with their careers going forward. Even there's comments commending the ref for allowing them to "fight" out of the clinch rather than separating them like we often see in amateur bouts.
I think you focus too much on the opinions of people YOU label as haters or casuals because they aren't praising Ennis at the level you want them to. Fact is, neither of these fighters have won anything yet. Both are very talented but haven't done shit yet. Until then people can only give "hype" about what they think can happen with them. Including Ennis.
Ennis has yet to face a ranked opponent in his division but people claim he's the best at 147. It's not hating to point out, he has fought no one. His best wins are vs a couple 140 lb champs trying to move up. One of them lost to Crawford 6 years ago and has lost 5 of his 8 bouts since......
@@YaMommasNextDoorNeighborI just have to highlight this comment you made a year ago because so many boxing fans do this; they focus on the 1% minority opinion, always chasing after that confirmation bias. You worded things perfectly. Anyways idk why I needed to type this I just really appreciated your response.
@@angelomanzi9272....appreciate it homie. I like to point out the realistic view of situations rather than riding the wave of hype with the mass. Both of these 2 are dripping with talent, but its only potential until they accomplish something with it. They'll get their opportunities soon enough.
Ennis gon be world champ at 147. Dude could switch lefty, righty, easy
Sorry but Vergil Ortiz gonna clean out that division
Javi Ruiz 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Max Maxwell no bruh ennis out classes ortiz easy
Max Maxwell you’re an idiot you’re talking about a 4rd tko to a guy that has beaten Kareem mayfield and never been stopped in his career oh make no sense you just exposing ya self as a hater
Max Maxwell - It’s too early for all of that. Let’s see how he progresses, then evaluate him after his first big step up.
Russell was fighting like Shawn Porter. But Ennis landed cleaner shots.
He really do fite like SHOWTIME!!!😂
I agree boots looked more clean and polished than Russell.
Y’all some idiot he’s not Russell, his Russell‘s brother
12:52 I guess he has the same name as his brother
12:49 *
Beautiful Beautiful fight! Glad I got the chance to see these 2 young brothers at doing what they do and that's box.. s/o to The Sportsguy for putting me on this amateur fight. Hopefully they can see each other in the near future as pros
This russell is really good now, so is enis. this would be a good match up right now
Nah b..boots will beat the breaks off Russell son..word
@@basilabuhamid1537 Russell too small
This is Russell antuanne brother of Russell Jr who really is the good one but this Russell Antuanne ain't good .
Ennis blows Russell out now ... remember here Russell is 10 yr older
@I love Boxing because his father didn't want 1 to say they was the favorite because he was the only one with his name. They all have and go by their different middle names
Wow this is classic. Ennis will stand toe to toe with you. So much improvement from both.
I think Russell is the power puncher of the both now
Gary Coleman Russell out pressured Boots. I like Boots' style better for the pros though. If you disagree, let me know whatchu talkin bout Willis?!
Oh no, you're 100% correct. However, if this was today, Ennis would smoke him. You can see Ennis power he kept popping his mouthpiece out.
@@inquizative44 (Today), they're pros. And I like Boots' style better for it. Boots beats him...
Russell won from the inside work. It was a good fight though. Round 3 was fire.
Both top fighters in the pro's, and Ennis has looked especially phenomenal so far. Perhaps potential pound for pound best.
He’s fought absolutely nobodies tho
@@emoney7257 I don't see anyone excitedly lining up to fight Ennis. But yeah, the big tests show us how great a fighter is.
But boxing politics, some big fights will never get made. I'll say this for the UFC, best regularly fight the best, although a different sport.
@@darrenwayne8263 why would anyone be lining up to fight boots? He’s nobody right now
@@darrenwayne8263 ufc has one promoter and he sets the fights only
@@emoney7257 that’s what they don’t get they think ennis can just come in the game demanding Spence n Crawford
Ennis may have landed cleaner blows, but this is amateur so I give it to Russel because he landed more each round with speed and volume.
Isn't this a pro match
@@noincomprehensible3849no amateur its olympics they hadnt gone pro yet
I wouldn't mind seeing this fight now!
Russell undefeated at 140, knockin shit out. they may meet years down the road.
This could be next Spence vs Crawford in a few years ...
I favor Ennis and favor Ennis over Crawford and Spence ( who beat Mayweather Jr twice)
Ennis has improved dramatically since this ...
@@shawnlee5482 man y’all be piping boots up way too much 😂 he hasn’t even done anything for you to be making those insane claims.
@@shawnlee5482 when tf did Spence beat Floyd😂even once
@@LOADDABOWL KO'd him during sparring. KO'd Broner sparring too.
Wowww... i did'nt know that Gary has been at 141
Curious sto see boots without bear...^^
Thanks a lot for sharing that !
I'd Like To See Boots Ennis vs Gary A. Russell at 147 Welterweight Division in 2023. It'll Be A Good Fight
No it wouldn't boots is way too big now. Gary be weighing in at 137 for his fights.
This was a legend bout.. Two little giants. Gary Russell was phenomenal.
It's 2022 and it's time to unleash the beasts 💯
I had to sub. I Love channels like this!!
This was a really great fight by both fighters. Ennis won this fight by one point. Russell should have lost this fight based on him loosing a point by getting his mouth piece knocked out THREE times. The ref should have taken a point away from Russell. But as all of you know the Russell family has four brothers who fought over the years. Shame that either fighter had to lose this fight.
How does that constitute to a point deduction?
@@lulphil4278 because fighters do it on purpose to get extra time to rest. It's an old trick but refs catch on to it now
@@lulphil4278Besides only punches that caught you off guard/by surprise or really hard punches can make you drop you mouth piece so if it happens 3x atleast give a standing 8 count.
4 golden glove winners brothers. That's impressive.
Ennis probably be a BETTER professional, however Russell won on aggression........
My boy tuanne already 11-0 with 11kos 😈
You were right! Ennis is on the verge of greatness right now.
Boots up and coming 🔥💪🏽
I'm willing to bet that the kid in the blue has the better career
@@jesseseymour51 nope! Ennis is a star already!
boots spent too much time trying to slip and dove evergthing, Russells defence may not be great, but he puts way too much pressure, good fight but I have to be honest and admit that Russell won a close one, hope they fight again in pros.
Agreed
As adults now boots is way to big for him. In hindsight Russel was his adult size during this fight. Boots was still a growing boy.
Darius Clark Boots is 23 and fights at 147lbs. Gary Antoino Russell is 27 and fights at 115lbs. Idk where you get your information from bro.
Dante’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 wrong Gary Russell bruh that’s his older brother
Darius Clark you right
Gary Antuane Russel current pro record at jr welterweight 13-0-(13K.O's) Jarron Ennis got 26-0-(24K.O's) bright future for these two
Who would you pick if they face off
@@djmoron242 different weight classes now.
@@michaelanderson9820 what'd happen if Russell fought Matias?
Thank u 4 uploading this!!! 👍
Ennis was workin his ass in that third round, but the commentators were all on gary russel nuts
I had Boots winning. But good fight. Russell was busier. We know how refs be judging
Bruh, that's exactly what I was thinking!! Like GR's mouth piece was coming out on it's own. They was definitely swinging from his nuts!
I concur 💯
@@slickvicfrmdaville1605 I never knew the refs were judging the fights..
Judges be judging. 👍🏾
This fight looked like Errol Spence Jr vs Shawn Porter
Ennis would be too much for Russell now imo.
Yeah he'd stop him within 6
IMO, Gary beats him. I watched Gary pro fight last week, he's even better now.
@@dooeebear yeah but he still looks kinda stiff defensively I think that'll be his downfall vs ennis
@@tbtoosmoove Gary is not Floyd Mayweather defensively but he's also not Chavez Jr, who stop punches with his face.
Ennis doesn't have one punch KO power and so far Gary has shown that he has a good chin. I think he steamrolls Ennis.
@@dooeebear I strongly disagree in a vice versa type of way I like gary but it's obvious who is the more skilled boxer by a mile and no one would agree with you on that because its glaring and he clearly lost this amateur fight as well. And I've definitely seen signs of one punch knockout power from him have you actually seen his past couple of fights he punches like a mack truck for a welter. He has so many different styles meanwhile gary is basically just a stronger shawn porter with a bit more skills that's all I see but only time will tell.
Andre Ward us a great example of a champ, not arrogant, condescending to others, nor vulgar, also Terence Crawford.
Simply beautiful...edge went to russel for me. Would like to see a pro fight in near future of these two
It's clearly Gary Russell won
That's very clear. These retards and haters in the section sound like future Budtards. LOL😀 Gary Russel was puttin them thangs on him. LOL😀
That is a pretty cool match
Damn, Ennis has improved so much since the amateurs and he was still the number one seed at the olympic trials. Dude must stay in the gym 24/7
@@ringo1836he does do camps, he just doesn't leave Philly. But he is a workhorse
He won this fight close but give him the edge...Russell won because of his name
Ennis hasn't fought a soul since the amateurs. Russell has. They move different.
@@ProjectBimmers ok is that why lil Gary venues looking like highschools?
@HNiCDuke lil Gary regardless has quality opposition and 100% KO ration. Jaron is ALL fluff at this point. Has like 40 somethin fights and never even fought a contender. What kind of BS is that? More fights than Errol Spence for crying out loud. Look how they moving Virgil? If Virgil wasn't sick as a bitch he would be the one to watch, not BOOTS
Boots defense wasn’t NEARLY as tight, his shots were much more looping!!! Man he has improved so much, it’s almost like he’s a completely different fighter and that’s a direct reflection of his work ethic!!!
Gary Antuane Russell is the most diesel 140 lbs fighter ever😂🤣
Nah Tim Bradley
Prime Cotto was 140lbs… beast
Now that’s what you call a video iHome me video background sounds and everything big UP👍🏿
💯 dedication
Good trading in the first but i think Russell edged it out. You can see Boots slowly adjust in the second and get more comfortable. By the third Boots was landing more and boxing better. Damn good fight tho
Gary can't fuck with boots now
Man I'm really good of picking who's going to win. I am always right.
I said a few weeks ago that if ennis fights porter, porter will beat him.
The first round I scored the round 10-9 in favor of the person doing dishes in the background😂 BTW your kids are wonderful you must be proud
Classic right here but i got it 2-1 russell good pressure and combinations they both had tons of clean shots but Russell had the slight edge imo especially those first 2 rounds but Jaron took OFF on eem that last round
They fought twice in the Amateurs and Gary won. But Jarron Boots Ennis today is a highly talented Pro Boxer and future World Champion!
3 times
4 times, 3-1 in favor of russel
Damn so you know it's destined to happen in the pros 😂
They are both future world Champions
I see the Roy Jones in Ennis that I've heard about
Whoa now!..lmao
This came down to Russell being able to dictate the fight.
As I am looking, it seems Russell was doing a lot of slapping.
Ennis always had more of a pro style
I Was Thinking The Same Thing, Although ENNIS Lost The Fight, His Skill Level Is On A Different Level.😎👍
Russell is a beast too. Don't sleep. He's like a younger Shawn Porter, but more of a puncher. He will be top 10 at 140 real soon.
@@MrMikelew2929 faxxx. Russell is very dangerous. All the brothers have the right mentality
@@MrMikelew2929 Russell has grown into a more patient stalker, in other words he doesn't rush as much as he did in this fight but that comes with experience of course. Like a cross between Shawn Porter and Winky Wright because of how well he keeps his guard up while he stalks you.
Can't wait to see how these moments age
What a great fight, I think that it was a very even fight and no one really have a supreme advantage. I enjoy watching both of these fighters they are top fighters in American boxing.
I think Boots definitely won if they fight in the pros Boots would definitely knock him out. So much more superior .
Although Russell Won The Fight, Ennis Displayed More Championship Type Skills 🥊😎🥊
who did Ennis knock out in less then 30 seconds??
What are championship type skills lmfao boots let a much smaller guy control the fight and go toe to toe with him
Bruh, I just chuckled so hard seeing boots come out
Both have went on to be great professional fighters with undefeated records.
Gary Russell is not undefeated 😂😂. WTF are you talking about

Gary russell handing Gary russell a mouth piece
What I notice about boots then and now is, he has problems with fighters with a fast solid stick. If you have a fast jab with good footwork, you can neutralize him and beat just by setting every attack up with some jabs. He only can throw them fast hands like that closer on the inside. If you notice he isn’t throwing any straight punch combinations with speed on the outside like that. Not like he throwing them on the inside.
Hard to throw anything with a guy putting that much pressure on u
Yhep He got power but Crawfodd will give him alot of problems particularly if he can take his power shots, boots works the body he breaks you down like that but his feet aren't that quick, he has good footwork but they're not that quick.
I'd love to see them fight today their both more polished.
Boots is bigger stronger and faster you wouldn’t wanna see that lol
Who names all their kids Gary Russell? Lol I'm confused
@@Kailani255 stfu
Mr Grandi , I guess he tried to go the George foreman route
George Foreman all his kids are named after him
George foreman named all his kids George, Joe Jackson named all his kids Joe Jackson alot of families do that. Look at how many Ali and Muhammads there are. It's a tradition thing
Mr Grandi ummm... George Foreman!😂
This is why its never a good idea to try the Philly shield against a southpaw
Damn Gary Russell fights like Shawn Porter
Gary Russell is give boots hell
If this was a 10rd fight Russell goes down. Ennis just started getting started.
Do you have video of the following day. They saw each other again.
Russell won good fight
Ennis def has more of a pro style, he picks his shots. Amateur is all about work rate.
Haney vs grj?🤔 idk ijs😂😂😂
Russell has boots on his heels. Blueprint for any fighter not developed on the back foot to box
Great video bro 👌🏾 btw they robbed ennis. When ever he landed a clean punch they just stayed quiet 🤫
This was some serious action.
Ennis held his arm to knock the mouth piece out the second time. Very slick
Notice: When Jaron Ennis start making noise, haters have will have too much fun with his name 😆
That's Gary Antuanne...not his brother (WBC Featherweight Champion).
That is his brother
Damn they are a far stretch from how skilled they are as pros now. Usually top level pros look better thsn this in their amateur days
With a brother like big Gary you gotta feel like you can beat any body
Gary ain’t nun why he never moved up lil ass boy
APPRECIATE THIS MAN'S DEDICATION & HIT THE THUMBS UP 👍 --
Shit let's get boots VS Russell in the pros
He ain’t doing nothing with Jaron now. He will get hurt.
If Willis had hand like that, Arnold wouldn't have feared "The Gooch"😏

Good fight!
Gary Russell lost that fight. He looked sloppy and all he was doing was mauling. Jaron Ennis was more accurate and just a better choice to represent the U.S. in the Olympics.
I agree 100%. He was one of our better chances to Medal
+Fight Capital TV dude is so sloppy.
+mjharp1990 I agree & don't think he has any chance to Medal.
A1 Fit Cornell gary russell is the trainer
The Kid yea he did to the eventual gold medalist the people got fired for that decision
That’s good work
Although GAR got the decision in a razor-close fight, as far as I'm concerned, you have to consider the fact that JE knocked out his mouthpiece not once, not twice, but three times. That says something. On another note, I think GAR is the best fighter at 140. He would beat Tank Davis and Josh Taylor...RIGHT NOW.
What about Matias? That's a very explosive fight! He gets hit a lot....but he's extremely vicious!
Hell no he looked trash against postal and ate jabs all night
