Was not impressed by Russel Jr

[MARKBNLV]

He has very fast hands and fluid combinations,what he lacks is any shred of power the boy cannot crack an egg,i see him being stopped when he steps up in class,when he fights a real pressure fighter it will be a rap for him.

I think mikey stops him as well.

[Pullcounter]

he had a great exhibition yesterday, he could've made it even more impressive with a KO victory... his lack of power is a huge minus in terms of his overall appeal and his prospect in the future.

Too early to tell all that about him. HBO was over doing it but thats no reason to hate Russell he is a very good PROSPECT.

HBO always overdoes it for Al Haymon fighters. You'd think Jesus Christ is fighting in the ring. Fighters go to Al Haymon because he gets them the least risky fights for the most money they can rip HBO off with.

Regarding power, I was thinking the same thing. He's gonna have a hard time keeping fighters with Rios style off him.

[Larry the boss]

He's a prospect and i like him,great potential

It depends on what kind of chin he has. We dont know that yet. If he can take a good punch he seems to have enough pop and skill to make a guy think twice before coming in recklessly.

[Russian Crushin]

Although i think he is one of the best prospects, he looked content to just get a point win and for some odd reason fought an 8 rounder on an HBO televised slot.....which makes no sense whatsoever

He reminds me of chad Dawson
