Gary Antuanne Russell is the last of the four fighting Russells, a boxing bloodline streaming with major amateur and professional accomplishments that included everything but an Olympic victory. With his father hollering from the stands, Russell changed the family fortune, and continued the U.S. team's stunning roll through the Olympic tournament with a unanimous decision victory on Monday. Once Russell disposed of fellow American Richardson Hitchins, representing Haiti, he became the only fighter through the first 100 bouts of the Rio de Janeiro Games to hop a rail and climb into the stands to find mom and dad.
