Josh Taylor vs. Gary Antuanne Russell !?!

Russell's really small for 140. He's been skilled enough to hurt guys on the inside but that's much more risky against a guy like Taylor. My guess is that Taylor hurts him pretty bad early on and then goes into cruise control late and mostly works from the outside.

Taylor should not be judged from his last fight, he is a good fighter that can adjust.

Like Lopez, he thought he was just going to walk in and beat his underrated opponent easy.

Good post. I might pick Russell but you're absolutely right that Taylor cant be judged just off Catterall.

I think it's a 50/50 fight IMO. How do you see the fight playing out?

- - Russett ain't taking fights he gonna get KOed in. He'll do the DC celebrity tour and retire like the rest of his family.

I like Russell a lot but it is still unknown with him. He got really hurt in his last fight, kudos to him in keeping it together.

Yeah he took a couple real shots from Rances. I was surprised he didnt go down in the 1st.

Taylor will go the way of Warrington and Teo. Confidence busted and the future looking a lot less bright.
