Nathan Lewkowicz ‏wants to make Fortuna-Russell Jr.

[Evil Abed]

Gary Russell jr was being interviewed on the Boxing lab.
Nathan tweeted this
Nathan Lewkowicz @Nlewkow1
@eaner0919 @theboxinglab tell Gary Fortuna would gladly fight him


Gary responded by saying , That No disrespect, but he had never seen Fortuna, though he has heard of him.

He also said they could fight since Fortuna has a title?

So its possible.

So yay or nay on Fortuna vs Russell Jr.

[HeroBando]

Excellent fight

Fortuna is the kid that boxes a bit like Sergio & is trained by Pablo Sarmiento, right?

If so hell yeah, would love to see this fight.

He doesn't fight like Sergio, in fact, nothing like him. He was just mimicking Sergio for a brief moment but I must say... He was spot on lmao.

Interesting fight... I gotta lean with the guy who has healthy hands. Who can also match Russell Jr with power and speed.

lol at title

If i was Russell handlers i wouldnt take this fight this early. You could see a little glimpse of how it would play out in the Fortuna vs Derrick (Smith, i think) fight. Fortuna just walked through all Derrick's fast punches and eventually k.o'd him. Let Gary get more experienced then it would be a better fight down the line.

He has big stamina issues.

Anyway I don't get where Russell has this sense of entitlement, acting like he's the king of the division, in an interview with ESNEWS he said he didn't know who Mikey Garcia was, the champ of the division.

It's like man you're best win is against a no.84 ranked fighter, Gusev. Beat someone notable and then start talking.

Two up and coming highly touted prospects going at it? I can't remember that ever happening.

Fortuna only has an interim belt, and Garry Russel winning it will never lead to a Chris John fight for the full title so I don't see it happening.

[Russian Crushin]

One of the worst duck excuses ever, "i've never seen him"

This would be a great fight

I wouldn't put a lot of emphasis on his stamina his last fight. Fortuna had only been 10 rounds twice before and that was his first time going 12. Now if he's second fight his stamina looks the same then that's a diff story.
