Wtf, is fighting this Irishman some kind of 'build up' for Frampton if he beats Cruz? what a random choice of opponent if not.

How can you be the best featherweight in the world by living in Loma's shadow? He completely outclassed you

If you wanted to prove it so badly, you'd be jumping through hoops to secure that rematch.

Hyland sucks, has no shot to win this

[tiliheels]

another prime black fighter waisting his prime and when does fight he ends up freakin pulling out or just fightin a fringe contender...very inactive and has no initiative
fortuna has already made work of hyland

Hyland sucks, has no shot to win this

I'm a fan of Gary Russell Jr., but I can't defend him when he has yet to fight Leo Santa Cruz (LSC), Carl Frampton nor Abner Mares, and they are all signed to Al Haymon. Looks like LSC is going to fight Frampton, and we know Mares is fighting Cuellar, and Loma is fighting Walters. How do you wind up fighting Hyland? Step your game up son!

lol is hyland still promoted by snooki.

At this point, I'm ready to put a few bucks on Hyland. Gonzalez was shot and TBA was never ranked. Russell is used to face fighters, Loma moved and paralyzed him. Hyland moves a little and a little rust. Who knows?

I put my money the fact that Russell will get the winner of Frampton vs LSC next then I believe he will try to secure a rematch with Lomachenko next
