Hits and Bits: Gary Russell Jr., Margarito-Cotto II, Campbell

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Mitch Abramson - Perhaps no other boxer came to epitomize the overall confusion, *********** and utter failure of the U.S. Olympic boxing team in Beijing more than Gary Russell Jr. A favorite to medal at 119 pounds, Russell collapsed the night before a mandatory weigh-in and was declared unable to compete by USA Boxing coach Dan Campbell. The official ruling was that he failed to show up for the weigh-in the next morning. But Russell’s father and trainer, Gary Sr., scoffed at the notion that he lost the fight on the scales.

On Thursday, Campbell, who led the team to its worse performance in U.S. Olympic boxing history, was asked to step down from his position by Jim Millman, CEO of USA Boxing, and he agreed to retire. [details]

He still has a chance to advance if he is a true talent.

cotto can beat margarito if he has the stamina to potshot and stays off the ropes. cotto's "stay busy" fight should be against baldomir...
