== Biography ==
From [http://www.goldenboypromotions.com/fighters/gary-russell-jr- Golden Boy Promotions]

One of the top amateurs to emerge from the United States in this era, Gary Russell Jr. has the style and charisma to make a huge impact on the pro scene in the coming years, and he is willing to put in the hard work to get there and put the featherweights back on the mainstream map.

A boxer since the age of seven who comes from a fighting family of five brothers who have boxed, including pro [[Antonio Russell|Antonio]]., Russell learned the sport at an accelerated pace that amazed onlookers. In 2004, the teenager won the Junior Olympics, and just a year later he earned the US and National Golden Gloves titles, one of only two boxers in history to win both before the age of 17.

These wins earned him USA Boxing’s Athlete of the Year award in 2005, but he wasn’t done yet, as he went on to win another national title and a bronze medal in the world championships before qualifying for the 2008 Olympic Games.

Unfortunately, a dehydrated Russell was forced to withdraw from the games, but by January of 2009 he began a new fistic journey – this one to win a world title in the pro ranks.

Since his third round TKO of Antonio Reyes in his pro debut, Russell dazzled fans, impressed boxing insiders, and struck fear into the hearts of opponents as he compiled a 10-0 pro record that included seven knockout wins.

On July 22, 2010, he was expected to face his sternest test to date when he battled former world champion Mauricio Pastrana in the main event of Golden Boy Promotions’ “Fight Night Club” at Club Nokia in Los Angeles, but instead, it took him just 1:46 to defeat Pastrana and make a statement to the boxing world that he had arrived.

Two more wins followed last year, as he knocked out Willie Villanueva in a single round in September and shut out Guadalupe De Leon over six rounds in October. And as 2011 picks up speed, so has Russell, as he dropped and then defeated respected contender Feider Viloria via technical decision on January 28th.

Russell was back in the ring on April 15th in San Francisco, shutting out veteran Adolfo Landeros before delivering a blistering fourth round knockout of 24-9-1 Antonio Meza in Texas on June 17th.

July 23rd was boxing fans’ next opportunity to see Russell in action, and he dished out another shutout, this time over 9-1 Eric Estrada on the Amir Khan vs. Zab Judah undercard in Las Vegas.

Two months later, it was a repeat performance for Russell as he dominated 32-3 veteran Leonilo Miranda, and on November 26th, he closed out the biggest year of his pro career thus far with a first round knockout of 47-11-2 standout Heriberto Ruiz.

His performances earned him recognition as the 2011 Prospect of the Year from many major media outlets, including ESPN.com, SI.com, and RingTV.com.

Danny Oscar Garcia

Mrpeterdragon: /* World Titles */

[[file:Danny Garcia.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Danny Garcia]]
<boxer>429442</boxer>
*'''Trainer:''' [[Angel Garcia]]
*'''Manager:''' [[Al Haymon]]
*'''Promoter:''' [[Golden Boy Promotions]] (former)

== Biography ==
From [http://www.premierboxingchampions.com/danny-garcia Premier Boxing Champions]

Armed with one of boxing’s best left hooks, Danny Garcia established himself as the sport’s consensus 140-pound champion before becoming a two-division champion with a 147-pound world title in 2016. Trained by his father, former boxer Angel Garcia, since he was 10 years old, the Philadelphia-born Garcia appears well on his way to achieving his goal of becoming the “next great Puerto Rican fighter.”

For his second professional bout, then-teenager Garcia was buried on the undercard of the Floyd Mayweather-Ricky Hatton fight in Las Vegas in 2007.

Nearly six years later, Garcia was on another Mayweather undercard in Las Vegas, but under much different circumstances.

Garcia entered his fight against Lucas Matthysse as the 140-pound world champion, and won by unanimous decision to cap a dazzling stretch of seven straight victories over current or former world champions.

It was the type of success he and his father/trainer, former boxer Angel Garcia, had aspired to since they first walked into a Philadelphia boxing gym when Danny was 10 years old.

'''Amateur career and pro debut'''

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Garcia has long wanted to become the “next great Puerto Rican fighter” and appears well on his way to achieving that goal.

After an impressive amateur career in which he went 107-13 and won the 2005 U.S. under-19 national championship and the 2006 U.S. national amateur title, Garcia made a dominant pro debut, knocking Mike Denby down three times in a first-round knockout in November 2007.

'''Victory over Morales'''

Garcia, nicknamed “Swift,” knocked out his first five opponents within the first two rounds, including a second-round TKO of Jesus Villareal on the aforementioned Mayweather-Hatton undercard in December 2007.

Garcia won his first 22 fights (with 14 KOs) to set up a March 2012 bout with legendary Mexican boxer Erik Morales, who won world titles in four different weight classes.

Garcia claimed the 140-pound championship by winning a unanimous decision over Morales, who had been stripped of the title for exceeding the weight limit.

'''Victory over Khan'''

Garcia next took on another champion, Amir Khan, who entered the July 2012 fight in Las Vegas as a 4.4-to-1 betting favorite.

After a slow start, Garcia caught Khan with a left hook that sent the Englishman to the canvas in the third round.

Garcia then knocked Khan down twice more in the fourth round to earn a TKO victory.

'''Garcia vs Matthysse'''

In an October 2012 rematch with Morales, Garcia connected with a lethal left hook in the fourth round that knocked out the Mexican great and sent him into retirement.

Garcia defended his titles with a pair of 12-round unanimous-decision victories over Zab Judah and Lucas Matthysse in 2013, resulting in the Philadelphia Sports Writers Association naming him the city’s pro athlete of the year.

Despite being the champion, Garcia was the underdog in his title defense against Matthysse, who had gained 32 of his 34 victories by KO.

Garcia closed Matthysse’s left eye in the seventh round, and floored the Argentine for the first time in his career in the 11th after taking a direct shot to the chin that knocked out his mouthpiece.

'''Continuing to roll in 2014'''

Garcia successfully fought twice in 2014.

He won a 12-round majority decision over Mauricio Herrera to defend his championship in Puerto Rico in March.

Garcia then annihilated Rod Salka in Brooklyn, New York, in August in a nontitle bout, knocking him down three times to gain a second-round KO.

'''Winning a slim decision over Lamont Peterson'''

Garcia made his Premier Boxing Champions debut against Lamont Peterson in Brooklyn, New York, on April 11, 2015, in a bout televised live on NBC.

Garcia tried to press the action early, but Peterson used his defense and mobility to stay away from the Philadelphia native.

Peterson became more aggressive as the fight progressed, but Garcia did enough in the first half of the bout to win a slim majority decision.

Two of the three judges scored the bout 115-113 in favor of Garcia, while the other scored it 114-114.

According to CompuBox, Garcia landed 173 of 589 punches (29 percent) while Peterson connected on 170 of 494 blows (34 percent).

== Biography ==
A natural talent in the ring, Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder has rapidly progressed from inexperienced Olympian to world heavyweight champion.

Chiseled 6-foot-7-inch Deontay Wilder dropped out of college and turned to boxing in 2005 to support his daughter, who was born with spina bifida. He was a quick study, winning the U.S. Olympic trials in his 21st amateur fight and earning an [[Olympics|Olympic]] bronze medal at the [[:Category:2008 Olympians|2008 Beijing Games]]. After winning his first 32 professional bouts by knockout, Wilder capped his rapid ascent by capturing a share of the world heavyweight title in January 2015.

Like countless other boys born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Wilder always wanted to play football or basketball for his hometown University of Alabama Crimson Tide.

However, the 6-foot-7-inch Wilder’s goals changed in 2005, when his daughter, Naieya, was born with spina bifida, a serious birth defect of the spinal cord.

A freshman at Tuscaloosa’s Shelton State Community College at the time, Wilder left school and was soon working two jobs in order to support his daughter, who doctors said might never be able to walk.

In an attempt to earn more money, Wilder took up boxing shortly thereafter and was an extremely quick study.

'''Fast track to the Olympics'''

In 2007, Wilder won the National [[Golden Gloves]] title in just his 16th amateur fight and also won the U.S. amateur championship at 201 pounds.

He won the U.S. Olympic trials in just his 21st amateur bout, and earned a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Games. It was the only medal won by a U.S. boxer.

“His work ethic is incredible and he hits so hard,” USA Boxing coach Dan Campbell said.

Wilder, a.k.a. “The Bronze Bomber,” was simply following the lead of Naieya, who was walking by 2008.

“She’s my inspiration,” he said before the Olympics. “She’s doing so many things that the doctors said she might not be able to do.”

'''A strong first impression'''

Possessing tremendous punching power and an 83-inch reach, Wilder made his professional debut in November 2008, gaining a second-round technical knockout of Ethan Cox in Nashville, Tennessee.

Trained by former 147-pound world champion and [[:Category:1984 Olympians|1984 Olympic]] gold medalist [[Mark Breland]], Wilder made quick work of his first 22 opponents, defeating each of them within four rounds, including 14 in the opening round.

Wilder stepped up his level of competition in June 2012, facing former world title contender [[Owen Beck]].

Fighting before a hometown crowd in Tuscaloosa, Wilder floored his opponent in the first and second rounds, and twice more in the third.

He was declared the winner after Beck failed to answer the bell to start Round 4.

'''Climbing the ladder to greatness'''

Wilder defeated two straight unbeaten prospects in 2012 to establish himself as a fast-rising title contender.

He knocked out [[Damon McCreary]], who entered the ring at 14-0, in the second round in Costa Mesa, California, in September.

Wilder then gained a third-round KO in December of [[Kelvin Price]], who came into the bout in Los Angeles with a perfect 13-0 mark.

Wilder gained two more quick stoppages in early 2013, including a first-round TKO of former European titleholder [[Audley Harrison]] in Sheffield, England.

He then gained the biggest win of his career at the time in August 2013, knocking out former world champion [[Siarhei Liakhovich]] with a straight right hand in the first round in Indio, California.

Wilder ran his record to 30-0 in October 2013, knocking down [[Nicolai Firtha]] twice in the first round before finishing him off in the fourth in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

'''Winning a world championship'''

Wilder put himself on the verge of a world title shot by easily defeating two opponents in 2014.

He gained a first-round KO of [[Malik Scott]] in Bayamon, Puerto Rico, in March, and then stopped [[Jason Gavern]] in the fourth round in Carson, California, in August.

The win over Scott made Wilder the mandatory challenger for the world championship held by [[Bermane Stiverne]].

Wilder entered the title bout with Stiverne with a record of 32-0 with 32 KOs.

Fighting at the [[MGM Grand]] Garden Arena on January 17, 2015, which was also [[Muhammad Ali]]’s 73rd birthday, Wilder controlled the action from the opening bell.

Wilder’s superior reach prevented Stiverne from getting inside, and the Bronze Bomber came close to finishing off the champion in the second and seventh rounds.

Wilder failed to keep his KO streak alive, but he easily won a 12-round unanimous decision to become the first U.S.-born fighter to hold a heavyweight championship since [[Shannon Briggs]] in 2007.

== Amateur Highlights ==
Wilder had an approximate amateur record of 30-5.[http://www.doghouseboxing.com/Gabriel/Montoya_110112.htm]

There you will see posters of him, trainers who were instructed by him, etc. I remember him often. He taught me what it means to represent Nicaragua in boxing abroad.
