@ringmagazine Lem: Russell Jr. returns against Gusev on March 2

[El_Cholo]

**** fight.

I'm a fan of Russell but he really does need to step it up, he's ready.

[STREET CLEANER]

Great, another meaningless fight. This dude has to step it up already

[Evil Abed]

Not a bad fight. He gave Burgos fits.

Its a step up. Just not as big of step as most would like.

But not a bad fight at this point.

[TOBYLEE1]

RUSSELL looks ready for a better challenge than this. Unless his camp knows something we don't

[$Money]

For a guy as highly rated as Russell he really needs to fight someone with a pulse.

It makes me think the rumors of his brittle hands are what is keeping him from facing a tough journeyman.

Meh. They said he would step up this year and this is definitely not a step up. How is Russell Jr supposed to beat someone like Ponce or Gonzalez or Salido or Garcia fighting bums? He needs to gradually step up and he's not doing so. He's got the skills and athleticism to do it so wth are they doing with him?

If he doesn't step up this year or his next fight Im gonna have to stop supporting him... It's kinda annoying.

[AM Boxing5]

Russell Jr. is 25 still fighting bums.

Not worth his hype. He's the new Berto, when he steps up in competition I bet anything he will lose.

Hopefully he faces someone relevant this year. Russell/Fortuna would be fantastic.

I never heard of him having hand problems...?
