Gary Russell vs. Luis Franco being discussed for Berto-Zaveck undercard.

This is a huge step up in class for Franco, if he wins... it will be by SD. Russell jr is a very skilled boxer!

Gary wins a hard fought UD.

Alright,I'm feeling this.

......Bump

Thanks, so far so good. Very dangerous fight. It looks like Franco can't handle pressure fighters to well and loves to fight boxers. What does it mean for the Russell fight?

Thanks, so far so good.

Never heard of Franco, will have to check him out.

I thought Miranda won that fight. Luis Franco stood toe to toe with him which was stupid because the mexican was a KO artist. But that fight showed Franco has pretty solid whiskers though. This show's more of what to expect from Franco vs Russel.

I feel Russell should of been moved faster. He's been a pro now 2 & a half years and don't feel like his comp has been what it should be. Franco hasn't been all that impressive as a pro, Russel got this. Injuries had something to due with his inactivity early on. But, he's getting moved properly. Hopefully he doesn't get rushed now and moved to fast because of his name getting out there more. Sometimes taking the slow route and it's better for the fighter career and long term....Lost at Ward he was moved slowly and yea he got criticized for it. But, it was the right thing to do.

Wow...Damn good fight. Nice step up.

Somewhat dangerous fighting a skilled Cuban fighter this early. Should be interesting.

Great match up. We'll find out who's the real deal.
