Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. Dominates Leonilo Miranda Over Eight

good showing, but not really an amazing one. his opponent was suppose to get blown out like he did, kind of wished russell pressed more for a stoppage or something. either way, good showing by him. i think he should face javier fortuna. both guys are young, talented, and undefeated. fortuna also packs a punch, which is something russell needs to be put up against if it isn't an elite world class guy. i'd love to see this matchup get made.

I don't think Gary's ready to step up just now. Gamboa and JuanMa hurt him, IMO. The lowest of the three you mentioned, Garcia, is probably too much. (Mikey's gonna be a real force someday, just not now.) Salido muscles Russell (again, my opinion). Gary will (probably) have his day...no need to rush....

there is really no other fighters at featherweight that can show us anything new from Russell.

I don't see how is it not the right time. But, they probably will take your approach and he fights Miranda level opponents for the next 6 fights.

It's time to step up now. Garcia/Salido/Juanma/Gamboa, whoever just step up.

Good win. Good guy.

Good guy, I been backing this guy since the Olympics where he wasn't able to compete. However, he had an over matched opponent. Who took the fight in short notice, this was the perfect opportunity to make a statement. And, he failed to do so, simple as that.

Russell looks good but failed to impress or make a statement against a tailor made opponent tonight.

Russell is the real deal and would easily beat Mikey Garcia. Missmatch in speed and skills. Garcia would be a step behind the whole night. Garcia struggled with a club fighter 5-6 fights back and would more than stuggle against Russell, he would lose by a wide margin.

russel vs garcia or gamboa. make it happen.

[Trapped Bird]

It was a mismatch. Russell failed to make a statement though. It's time for Russell to step up now.

Good win. Good guy.
