This is a good fight. I dont think Russell Jr. can beat Ponce Deleon.

If the fight is being targeted for September 7th in El Paso, than one would have to thnk Golden Boy looks set to make Garcia-Matthysse for the Mayweather undercard.

No they're not. They took Lucas-Garcia off that date because Chavez Jr is fighting Vera that day and would get much better numbers

Won't get my hopes up for this actually happening, don't think it will

Russell Jr. finally gets to confirm what I believe. He's legit. If his hands hold up during the fight, he wins easy. Don't think he'll stop Ponce so many will continue to think Mares is better. SMH...

Hell yes I am pumped about this. I've been waiting to see Russell Jr step up in competition and this is just the right level of step up.

[flint]

so basically he is dictating russells weight? now what if russell wants to stay at 126?

[hitking]

The 130 thing scares me. Don't know if Russell and crew would be willing to do it.

They could also fight the 28th with cotto on his way back to hbo

I think it will. It better, haha.

I still think Garcia-Matthysse will happen, and it'd be great if it was co-feature to Floyd-Canelo.

True. Damn I forgot about that.
