Comments Thread For: Ponce De Leon's Manager Disappointed With Gary Russell

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Frank Espinoza, the manager of former champion Daniel Ponce de Leon (44-5, 35KOs), advised BoxingScene.com that Gary Russell Jr. (22-0, 13KOs) has turned down a potential fight with his boxer.

BoxingScene reported last week that Ponce was offered the opportunity to face Russell on a Showtime televised date of September 7th in Texas. Ponce accepted the fight, as long as the match took place at 130-pounds. Ponce is planning to move up to super featherweight. Russell, although a featherweight, has not made the actual limit since July 2011 - weighing in between 126 and 127 for his last five fights.

Ponce, by far, is Russell's best opponent.

no doubt BPP ... but he's coming off a loss, team russell is taking the short cut.. fight the " recognized man " to be the recognized man.. sort of like what happened to rigo .. from trash fighters to nonito, he became the man...

Rumor is Russell turned down the fight because TBA is a much better opponent

another rematch against tba? wow this is cherrypicking

to be fair, TBA has a totally unpredictable style. we know how ponce fights already.
