Pick It: TBRB #3 Gary Russell Jr. vs. #5 Tugstsogt Nyambayar (Saturday, Showtime, 9 PM EST)
It’s been less than a year since WBC featherweight titlist Gary Russell Jr. (30-1, 18 KO) was last in a ring, which considering his annual appearance calendar since winning the title feels like a thing all its own.
Russell is making noise about wanting to be more active and see the bigger names. There is a real obstacle in his way. Russell is attempting his fifth defense against a serious challenger in Mongolia’s Nyambayar (11-0, 9 KO).
