Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr.-Oscar Escandon in Play For October 24

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to sources in Colombia, Oscar Escandon (24-2, 16KOs) will challenge Gary Russell Jr. (26-1, 15KOs) for the WBC featherweight championship on October 24th in a Showtime televised fight.

As BoxingScene.com earlier reported, the opponent for Russell was slated to be Marvin Sonsona, who failed to report to training camp and he was withdrawn by his promoter Sampson Lewkowicz. Escandon, also promoted by Lewkowicz, was brought in as a replacement after other contenders were hesitant to face Russell on four weeks notice.

Bums, bums and more bums!



Seriously, why do guys like Sonsona and Escandon even sign with Haymon? Its obvious they're just there to be fed to Al's favorites.

A joke .
Russell is fighting jokes after jokes . Only real fight was against Loma .
He and the biggest joke of them all , metrosexual pantycruz , should fight to see who is the biggest fraud .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .
