Nice bout for a debut. What if he loses?

Come on, he's fighting John Molina... The only possible way Molina can win this is by knockout but Ruslan seems to have a granite chin.

Ruslan wins by KO and it's gonna be fun while it lasts.

I hope so! I like Ruslan. I think he was robbed by Algieri and Bradley!

If he was with a big time promoter some of those Ls probably would be wins.

He is going to become SHowtime's equivalent of Gabe Rosado.
