Better not F around and lose this one, Gary. Al can pull you out of only so many holes. Inactivity and a two fight losing streak would not be good.

Even disregarding direct rematches, it seems like there's more cases of a loser of a title match immediately getting another opportunity. Other than the aforementioned Russell and Rollie off the top of my head there's Tszyu (yes yes the cut, but still applies), Higa (lost to Takei, fighting Tsutsumi next), Madrimov (sure its interim, but Crawford then Ortiz)...Comment

"I showed sportsmanship and took it on the chin".. Actually, NO! You whined like a woman with menopause and cried like a little girl.Comment

Fought for a world title and lost. Don't matter who it is. Only the star attractions of the sport get away with that(which still ain't right, but money talks) and Russell ain't that. No fighter should be fighting for a title after a loss, but boxing politics will always rear it's ugly head at some point.Comment

The thing is, Valenzuela is not a guy for you to bounce back...not at all. Hey but something I can tell you, this is gonna be a great explosive fight while it last.Comment

Why would I like Russell in this fight, because he's Black? I actually hope El Rayo wins and will be pulling for him. If Gary wins, he'll fight once every two years and sit on his azz like his brother GRJ aka Ground Hog.Comment
