The race for top spot in Group A was blown wide open as the Los
Angeles Matadors triumphed over the Dolce & Gabbana Milano
Thunder 4:1 during the seventh week of WSB action.
One man though that evening defended his unbeaten record,
superstar Clemente Russo, the 2011 WSB Heavyweight Individual
Champion, extending his record in the competition to eleven wins no
losses after overcoming the strong challenge of David Imoesiri.
The 29-year-old Italian is one of the competition's most skilled
boxers, a small Heavyweight in comparison to his rivals; he has
developed a great counter-attacking technique where he uses his
movement and ring savvy to outsmart his opponents to devastating
effect.
The reason for the choice of photo is threefold, firstly it put
Russo back at the top of the Heavyweight Individual Rankings and
secondly it was a hard-earned victory in a place that is difficult
to travel to with the Avalon Club in Hollywood an intimidating
caldron of noise. Finally, this great shot by the Italian Champion
goes right through the guard of his American rival, connecting hard
with the chin.
