Lamar Russ The Boxing Que versus Latif Mundy Middleweight Bout
- Fought on the undercard of a seven bout card promoted by 50 Cent SMS Promotions and DiBella Entertainment.
The Boxing Que, Lamar Russ, won his fourteenth consecutive bout to reach the BoxRec # 50 worldwide ranking, with an eight round unanimous decision win over Veteran Latif Mundy. The bout was unique. Mundy taunted and mugged Russ for all eight rounds, trying to bait Russ into chasing him onto the ropes and punching himself out. RUss, however, did not fall for the obvious trap. Instead Russ boxed cautiously and carefully with pinpoint jabs which kept Mundy off balance. A few times the shorter Mundy got inside in center ring and threw some hard power combinations, but then he backed off and never followed up. Partof theproblem was Russ is very tall and has long arms, and the shorter Mundy had no answer to it. Mundy has skills, but stuck to his 'strategy' which amounted to clowning around, running, holding, and stinking out the house. Despite the scoring, the bout was not close, and Russ won nearly every round as Mundy put forth little offense to back up his 'game plan'.
