Gary Russell Junior using very good distance and footwork to control the fight. Russell’s speed and power are tremendous. Martinez had a pretty good round, landing a few very good shots. Russell seems very susceptible upstairs. It will be an interesting fight.

Mendez from Brooklyn N.Y. & Undefeated Heraldez is from the Mayweather Money Team from Las Vegas:
After a feel out round he Younger Heraldez is showing off his quickness as the former champion/ Mendez is the aggressor.
Heraldez boxing well in the early rounds. The 5th round was the most exciting round as both guys landed some big shots with Mendez getting the better of the exchanges.
The second half of the fight was pretty exciting with good action from both fighters. Both fighters have hurt the other throughout the bout.
Round 10. Heraldez playing the final round safe, moving and holding as he seems happy with getting out of Brooklyn with a decision. Excellent round for Mendez, based on the action in the fight, it wouldn’t be shocking to record a 10-8 round for Mendez in round 10.
