    Because it's not only GBP that's off HBO, it's also Haymon

      I think Rigo beats him quite easily.

      I'm not impressed with Russell to be honest, yes he has blinding speed, but they're all arm punches with little pop and he becomes very predictable.

        Haymon manages Chad Dawson... Last time I checked, he's fighting Stevenson on HBO.

          Haymon manages Arreola, he's fighting on HBO in two weeks.

            I'm a fan of Russell and I think there would be no shame in losing to Rigondeaux. It would be an amazing fight and would gain Russell some fans if he puts on a good show.

              Russell needs to step it up a bit, but I would like to see it happen at some point.

                You're right about both, hmm. I was under the impression he was booted along with GBP

                  Russell needs some more experience against tougher comp first. I'd love to see this fight though, amazing talent.

                    would be funny to see grj chasing around Rigo with his t-rex arms trying to connect.

                    It could be a fun fight but grj need to prove himself in a major way first.

                      It's understandable since they work closely, but I think that's what a lot of us get confused about since promoters usually don't serve as managers.
