Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: I Have A Little Slight Injury; Won't Elaborate Until After Magsayo Fight

Ain’t nobody trying to hear that B.S.! This the fight game which you choose, really though I haven’t heard this before a fight before so you breaking records for not fighting and using excuses. Maryland is the home of fake fighters except Gervonta.

I like Russell too. Why disclose this? Does he have doubts? If you're injured just postpone it. Don't be pulling stuff like this.

[ShoulderRoll]

He hasn't fought in two years.

You would think that would be enough time to get 100% healthy.

How elegantly put. I think every fighter should come out and say this a week before every single match. Just so you know, when they lose, they can drop that excuse and say, I told you I had an injury! I just wasn't going to tell you until I lost! So lame.

Rematch then?

[Wacked_Out]

He should let it heal for a couple years rather than take the risk.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

This is just insurance in case he loses. Lame.

One of my 2022 predictions is you'll win against Magsayo.
It still is.

But you have become the crappiest champion in modern history. Right up there with Farmer.

More than likely it can happen depending how close of a fight it is, but that is not the point. He's setting in an excuse in your mind so if his performance sucks or at worse he loses, you know why, because he has an "injury" going into the fight. So what does that mean if he won spectacular? Oh yeah, the injury wasn't an issue, it didn't turn up. What if he loses? Oh yeah, so I told you all a week ago I had this injury and yeah, it was terrible, man, so bad.

Honestly, it is one of the dumbest thing a fighter can say leading into a fight, period.

Do you still want to bet on him after he revealed an injury before the fight? Lol, if you knew Pacquiao had a shoulder injury before the Fraud Jr. fight, do you think people still would of bet their house on Pacquiao? Maybe their car, but not their house. Big difference.

This is totally out of subject but let me ask you something. You’ve been here for many years and have seen hundreds of fights. Do you think it’s normal for a former flyweight to be able to move up 8 weight classes while retaining his punching power and be able to hurt physically bigger stronger men naturally ???

Don’t forget Devin Haney too

Gervonta fake too tho, he wants to be the best lightweight in the world but doesn’t wanna fight the best lightweights because they’re on other networks which ironically the bests lightweights are on the other networks smh that’s prolly the fakes shed ever said by a fighter
