REPORT

Russell dominates Martin, Cuellar retains WBA interim featherweight belt
FightNews December 21st, 2014[2]
Former featherweight title challenger ‘Mr.’ Gary Russell Jr. (25-1, 14 KOs)
was way too fast for Christopher ‘S.D. Kid’ Martin (28-5-3, 9 KOs), scoring
an easy ten round shutout on Saturday night at the Little Creek Casino Resort
in Shelton, Washington. Martin was game, but didn’t have the tools to present
any problems for Russell. Scores were 100-90, 100-90, 99-91.
In the 12-round main event, WBA interim featherweight champion Jesus Andres
“El Jinete” Cuellar (26-1, 20 KOs) scored a fifth round KO to retain his belt
against Ruben “Canelito” Tamayo (23-5-4, 15 KOs). Southpaw Cellar dropped
Tamayo twice in round four and finished him with a body shot in round five.
Time was 1:40.
Unbeaten jr middleweight Julian ‘J Rock’ Williams (18-0-1, 11 KOs) scored an
eighth round KO over Jamar Freeman (13-4-2, 7 KOs). Williams dropped Freeman
twice in round seven before finishing him in the eighth. Time was :29.
Unbeaten super middleweight Julius ‘The Chef’ Jackson (19-0, 14 KOs) scored a
ninth round stoppage of Jonathan Nelson (20-2, 9 KOs). Jackson dropped Nelson
in rounds one and eight before referee Jack Reiss waved it off at :28 of round
nine.
Unbeaten middleweight Tony Harrison (19-0, 15 KOs) annihilated Tyrone ‘Young
Gun’ Brunson (22-4-1, 21 KOs) in the first round. Welterweight prospect Fabian
‘TNT’ Maidana (4-0, 3 KOs), younger brother of former world champion Marcos
Maidana scored a second round TKO over Dustin Caplinger (2-7, 1 KO).

Cuellar Crushes Tamayo; Russell, Williams, Jackson Win[3]
By Cliff Rold; Managing Editor BoxingScene Last update:  12/21/2014
27-year old interim WBA Featherweight beltholder Jesus Cuellar (26-1, 20 KO) of Jose C. Paz,
Buenos Aires, Argentina, defended his stake in the division for the third time Saturday night
at the Little Creek Casino and Resort in Shelton, Washington, with a fifth round stoppage of
Ruben Tamayo (25-5-4, 17 KO) of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. 
Tamayo came in at the division limit of 126, Cuellar at 124 ¾. The referee was Mark Nelson.
The southpaw Cuellar dropped Tamayo twice in the fourth, Tamayo in big trouble after the
second.  There was little time left in the round and Tamayo survived.  The ring doctor took a
long look at Tamayo before the start of the fifth and allowed the fight to go on.  Tamayo
returned to the fray on his bicycle as Cuellar stalked.  A body shot near the ropes sent Tamayo
down again and Nelson leapt in right away to halt the beating at 1:48 of round five. Cuellar
could be in line for a crack at WBA Featherweight titlist Nicholas Walters (25-0, 21 KO) in the
year ahead.
Gary Russell Jr. UD10 Christopher Martin
Bouncing back from a lopsided defeat to Vasyl Lomachenko, 26-year old 2008 US Olympian Gary
Russell Jr. (24-1, 14 KO), 126 ½, of Capitol Heights, Maryland, won an easy ten-round unanimous
decision over 28-year old Christopher Martin (28-5-3, 9 KO), 126, of Chula Vista, California.
Martin won a single round on one judge’s scorecard. The referee was Jack Reiss. The fight was
all about Russell’s edge in hand and foot speed as he patiently tallied rounds. Martin had some
success aiming to the body but he couldn’t stay in range long.  At the end, scores came in at
99-91 and 100-90 twice. 
Julian 'J-Rock' Williams TKO8 Jamar Freeman 
24-year old emerging Jr. Middleweight contender Julian Williams (18-0-1, 11 KO), 153 ¾, of
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, continued his steady rise with a clinical eighth-round stoppage of
29-year old Jamar Freeman (13-4-2, 7 KO), 153 ¾, of Wilson, North Carolina.  Williams scored two
knockdowns in round seven and sent Freeman to the floor a final time as the fight was stopped.
 The unbeaten Philadelphian picked up a sub-title affiliated with the WBC for his work.
The referee was Robert Byrd. Williams had control of the fight from start to finish, patiently
outboxing and outfighting Freeman.  Displaying hand speed and smart punch selection, Williams
won every round before stepping up to end matters beginning in the seventh.  The finish came in
the corner, Williams crushing Freeman with a final right hand as Byrd waved it over at :29
seconds of round eight. Williams is currently unrated by the major sanctioning bodies but that
should change shortly.
Julius Jackson TKO9 Jonathan Nelson
In the SHO Extreme televised opener, the son of former Jr. Middleweight and Middleweight Julian
Jackson showed flashes of the family punch in the Super Middleweight division.  27-year old 2008
Olympian Julius Jackson (19-0, 15 KO), 168, of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, scored knockdowns
in rounds one and eight en route to a ninth-round stoppage of 28-year old Jonathan Nelson (19-2,
9 KO), 167 ½, of Little Rock, Arkansas.  The referee was Jack Reiss. Jackson scored a knockdown
in the first.  What followed was an odd bit of refereeing.  Reiss got to eight and stopped to ask
Nelson if he was going to get up.  One would assume the referee might want to keep counting.
Reiss for some reason felt otherwise.  Nelson used the extra ticks to get up and weathered the
round. Slowly, Nelson worked his way back into the fight, having a particularly strong sixth.
The power of Jackson couldn’t be overcome in the end.  Another knockdown in the eighth, which
featured another quick break of the count so Reiss could ask questions, saw Nelson rise with
little fight left.  Moments into the ninth, a Jackson assault has Nelson in big trouble and Reiss
stopped the contest at :28 seconds of round nine. The card was broadcast in the US on Sho Extreme,
promoted by Goossen Promotions.
