Was not impressed by Russel Jr

i would turn gary into a stamina beast........he has enough pop already in his punches (to discourage almost anyone) i would continue to do what his father is doing. turning him into a stamina warrior....if he can go 12 rounds without catching his breathe he'll outbox & put a massive beating on guys like Micky garcia.......... the only thing that fighters like garcia have is their stamina.....take that away & they get outboxed by guys like gary.

I was thinking the same thing, the kid is good and obviously has skills but there's something missing, he's not really a "wow" kind of fighter. After watching his fight I was thinking I would love to see him fight Mikey Garcia - Mikey comes with everything and has a certain excitement factor about him. Mikey beats him, possibly by KO IMO, but would be an interesting scrap.

I may be wrong but all i see is an Al Haymon hype job,and at 126 or even 130 the top is to talented not to be an all around fighter you have to have some power.

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 thought he looked great, he did seem to get a bit tired and was hit when it seemed he could have avoided those shots. All around tho great performance.
