Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Gary Russell Jr

[KnockUTheFukOut]

Gary Russell Jr haven't been tested yet, but he has the Tools to give Rigo some problems absolutely but he moved up to 130 and he is with GBP so that fight won't be happening anytime soon

[DosRounds]

it would be a good fight. Maybe Russel Jr can fight Mares Ponce winner instead. I don't know who Rigo can fight

It's unfortunate that one guy is TR and the other is GBP.

He's not signed to GBP. They've collaborated before but he's under no contractual obligation with GBP; meaning he can sign to fight whomever under whichever banner.

Oh! So he only has an agreement with Haymon? pretty cool situation for Russell during this "cold war" in boxing.

Because Haymon only works with GBP, right? No, he doesn't. Like I said, Russell's under no contractual obligation to GBP, nor is Haymon. If he wants to fight Rigondeaux, he can; it won't happen because it's a bad career move for Russell, plain and simple.

I didn't mean that, I just assumed that because GBP has Russell's name on their roster, that he was a GBP exclusive. Thanks for clearing up the misconception.

Funny how Rico Ramos (Haymon-managed, Goossen Tutor-promoted fighter) fought Rigo... gee, how come Russell can't?

[blak81]

It would make a good fight but I want Rigondeaux to fight big names, so he can make a name for himself. He deserves more props.

Fighting Russell at this time won't help him at all but if the fight happens, i'll be sure to tune in.

[thuggery]

Rigo destroys him.

The speed of both is intriguing! Moving up might possibly mess with Rigondeaux but that is yet to be seen and why a move up in weight class would be interesting.

If Russell were to step up and get a title, I fight between the two would be great!
