Russel looks to be the next dominant force at Jr welterweight. If I were him I’d try to get another 3 fights in the next 6-8 months and force a title shot

Triangle Theory:
How does this make Broner look to the eyes of the public? Good fight Russell!

Russell's biggest problem is he is a midget. 140 is too deep with non-midgets for him.

He's like 5'8, far from a midget. The height isn't a problem. He needs to shore up his defense a bit and stay more balanced but he's going to be a problem for any of these top guys soon.

That was the area where there is room for improvement, defence. But then again, he was on there with a contender level opponent. Very good win for the young Russell but I also say touch of the head movement and relocating after combinations

That's measuring from the top of his afro. He's going to walk into something big with that defense.

Just glad to see him back in the ring and Active but yeah Antuanne Russell is every bit as talented as Boots and some of these other guys getting more Hype at 140-147 and he should be getting the exact same PUSH

I mean I agree his defense needs to be tightened up more but don't think the issue is his height.

Don't forget, Russell beat Boots TWICE in the amateurs too!
