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

[Ham Porter]

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

Joe Louis was fighting top ten rated contenders within five to six months after turning professional.



Do yourself a favour and cease from ever discussing this sport beyond the last seven years that you've been following (even then you're utterly clueless.)

Russell can beat any FW in the ring with him...don't understand these opponents. I don't see one guy in the top 25 that gives him any trouble accept for Garcia.

[DannYankee]

So.....mini wilder minus the punch and hype?

Something has to be wrong with GR Jr. A guy with seemingly all the talent in the world yet he still hasn't stepped up yet.

Gary "The Lion" Russell Jr. (23-0, 13 KOs) will fight Mexico's Miguel 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 done with Gary. Fighting some bum who has 7 losses and 2 draws is not getting you closer to a title shot it's moving you further away.

[IST-ra-GLEr2]

great step up fight for russell.

[PACnPBFsuck]

great step up fight for Tomayo.

Fixed it

[Humean]

On a serious note does anyone actually have any idea why Russell jr is fighting such low quality opposition? Injuries, personal problems? He's been well placed for a title shot for ages now.
