RIP. It's hard to watch a strong man wither. I talked bad about his son, but not his skill, just the once a year appearance. Tragedy is when you do everything right and something goes wrong. This is it.

R.I.P. Papa Russell! Job well done! Gary Antuanne, Let's Go! Become the Champion you were raised to be! Gary Jr., you're the man now! Accept your role with pride and carry the tradition!

I pray that Gary Russell Sr. rests in peace. I also pray that his sons find inspiration in boxing since their father has passed away.
