Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. On Chris Colbert Getting KO'd: "He Got His Ass Scorched"

I mean… no offense but your statement is also ‘slicing it any way you want’

he never seemed to be vocal about making fights happen… and when he did fight, it was against no hopers.

I don’t think he was avoided, he didn’t seem to ever push the issue to stay active.

Agree to disagree. GRJ is/was an avoided fighter.

At LW? Valenzuela isn't even in the top 3 with PBC. You have Santos, Davis and Cruz who would violate him. Santos has already done so with only days to prepare. You wouldn't like to know what he does with a full camp. Sorry, but Valenzuela is shlt. Beating a fighter who shouldn't even be at that weight proves nothing. Colbert is far too small to be there.

Doesn't matter where in the PBC hierarchy Valenzuela is at. Sam Watson, Haymon's rep, circles around him in the intros and post fight. PBC sees something in him. I doubt they'll give him Santos again.
