Yep, upset is in the air

Sitting around, not fighting, to stay champ forever, isn't going to work. Now he has mental, physical, and and weight issues all at once. Getting old is a mfer.

He wanted to fight Crawford last year

You nailed it on the post

Very interesting. I don’t remember 1 time where Mr Gary had weigh in issues. Maybe he may be building up to 130. He’s been calling larger guys out.
This May mean a lot, or it may not matter in the least

Magsayo by close decision

Russell shed one full pound, came back for a second attempt was 125.5, so we have a fight!

It's definitely a red flag but I'm not sure if Magsayo going to be the one to exploit it.

GRJ normally a very disciplined individual, wonder how his father's medical issues have impacted his preparation for the fight.
