Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. Cut, Forced Out of Escandon Defense

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The November 14 show will go on at The Palms Casino in Las Vegas, but just not for Gary Russell Jr. and possibly for Oscar Escandon as well.

BoxingScene.com waded through several declining sources before finally confirming an earlier rumor that Russell Jr. suffered a cut during training and has been forced to withdraw from the Showtime-televised headliner. Rumors of the injury were first leaked to Boxeo de Colombia, whom was conducting an interview with Escandon when learning of the news.

That's too bad. Hopefully they keep the card going, but it's looking bad for GRJ. He did win a title but it's an entire year with only one fight from him and this is in a year when there were SO many cards for him.

This is exactly what I bish about. Russell wins a pidling title, starts making some money, and Haymon puts him on the shelf looking for a fight to suit him. Heymon never planned to have him fight the best, he milks titles like cow udders. Gary hurt his hands fighting nobodies and taking more punishment in training than from the guys he fights.
