Russell built his record on this type of guys. Working with Ruben? Russell is going to box circles around him. One day, when Russell is old and worn, one of these TBAs is going to catch up with him

This "TBA" already "caught up to" and TKO'd WBA champ Cuellar.

Escandon stole an interim belt off some guy on a Friday Night Fight card last year. I remember the Facebook voters had it in a landslide against Escandon.

I'm for aggressive fighters, but it has to be smart aggression, not just a bull, not all left hooks and looping rights. Russell can deal with that, dealt with it, and a stronger bull doesn't look like the answer to me. Escandon looks good in the gym? He's a pro, he better look good in the gym.
