Comments Thread For: Gary Russell To Face Mark Magsayo In Showtime Main Event January 22; Site TBD

[Murray Kelm]

Russell must hold on to his money pretty tight in order to fight as infrequently as he does

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

GRJ is so talented but his lack of ambition has completely stagnated his career to the point that people are past caring.

[Pigeons]

He has not lost since

That's one way of looking at it.

What happened with him wanting the rematch with Lomachenko no matter what weight class he goes too! What happened with him wanting to face Davis, he thought about that **** twice, what happened with him going to lightweight he said I’m a little to light in the ass, they hit hard up there!

[YoungManRumble]

I'm sure he'll win but here's hoping Magsayo sparks him out cold.

I agree 100.

Magsayo iirc looks up to GRJ, its a dream fight of his. Hopefully he prepares and puts on a good showing!

[JJRod]

So much wasted talent with Russell. What could have been?

[Wacked_Out]

He might have more fights if he wasn't so terrified to fight a black opponent. Not even one his entire career. Let that sink in. That plus the fact he never wants to fight (and doesn't) so he can always call himself the champ, and so that he can claim he's got the fastest hands, Gary will fight 5 more times against asians and white guys and retire in 2030 so he can say he held the title for the longest reign in history.

Inspite of Russell inactivity, he easily outpoint ineffective and jumping jumping boxer in Magsayo i bet...

From what I've read, he has been pretty good about his investment and businesses outside of boxing. I think part of the reason for the infrequent fights is that he suffers from hand issues. Who knows but I wish he fought more and fought better competition because he's pretty damn good.
