Gary Russell Jr. One Win Away from Olympic Berth!

It all comes down to tonight for Gary Russell Jr.

If he defeats Roberto Marraquin tonight in Houston, TX, the 19-year old from Capitol Heights, MD will be a member of the United States Olympic Boxing Team, completing an improbable run of six wins over six days of competion.

Last night, Russell evened the score with Marraquin by winning at 25-13 decision. Whoever wins tonight gets the berth.

We'll keep you posted!

    I'm sorry but someone at USA Boxing found out about the video and asked me to take it off youtube. I will respect their decision. NBC has the rights to the Olympic Trials but these bouts will not be televised.

    Gary won his second bout and is on the team!
