Gary Russell Jr. (23-0) vs. Miguel Tamayo (14-7-2) on Thursday

[Larry the boss]

When Wlad was 23-0 he fought donald wiggen who was 29-9-1...then when he was 24-0 fought and LOST to Ross Purity who was 24-13-1...just saying then when he was 26-1 he fought a guy named Everett Martin who was 20-29-1 then after that Tony Larosa who was 31-15

[El Angel]

What a joke.

[jas]

Who promotes and manages him?

[Larry the boss]

But Wlad wasn't fighting pro very long, the numbers are misleading because he fought so OFTEN.

Wladimir fought 16 times in his first 14 months as a pro, when he was age 20 and 21.

Klitschko won his first world title in 2000 at age 24 before he reached 4 years as a pro. He was fighting decent opposition by the latter part of his third year.

Gary Russell Jr is now in his SIXTH year as a pro and will turn 26 in June.

Just making a point man,Russel is not the first,not the only and will not be the last...and hell he may turn out to be great

[Public_Enemy]

Not a great fight by any means but this is a good card for a Thursday night event.

Ortiz/Collazo
Arnett/Gomez
Russell...

It's time for Russell to step up in competition. It's long overdue. His hand problems may be the cause of his slow progression up the ranks. He should've at least fought Ponce and Salido by now. Everyone fights them on their way up. I still think he has promise but he's wasting precious time. Guys with his speed are only at their peak for a short amount of time.

Gary “The Lion” Russell Jr. (23-0, 13 KOs) will fight Mexico’s Miguel “Yaqui” Tamayo (14-7-2, 12 KOs) on Thursday.

This will be the first fight televised by FOX Sports 1 and FOX Deportes on Thursday.

I'm really looking forward to watching Ortiz vs Collazo this Thursday and was hoping televised undercard would be decent but Rusell Jr fighting Tamayo is just an awful waste of a televised slot and not even worth watching.

[Larry the boss]

Hell Joe Louis was fighting fighters with losing records when he was champion

[New England]

russell is fast as all get out, but i never thought the was a real blue chip prospect. his arms are f#cking short, and he has the hands of a young girl.
