Saturday night at Resorts World Casino NYC in Queens, NY, Evander Holyfield’s The Real Deal Boxing presented a thrilling 8-bout card to a capacity crowd of over 2,000 people.
Headlining the event was a battle for the Jr. NABF Middleweight title between Kingston, Jamaica’s Kemahl Russell and Patterson, NJ native Ian Green. In his most impressive outing to date, Russell stopped the very game Green in the 7th round of a scheduled 8-round bout.
Russell was in control from the outset as he stalked Green, landing hard shots to the body and head.
The assault continued over the next few rounds as Russell continually backed up Green hurting him on several occasions. Green valiantly tried to stand his ground but the ringside doctors had seen enough and stopped the contest in the 7th round.
Russell improves to 12-1 10KO’s as he wins the Jr. NABF Middleweight title while Green falls to 12-2 9KO’s.
