Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr: If No Big Fight at 126, I'm Moving Up To 130

[ShoulderRoll]

Like everybody goes into hiding once a year. The long list of contenders on Russell's resume is staggering. He never ducked anybody.

They are actually hoping he moves up to 130. They will be breathing a sigh of relief when he does.

If freezing him out accomplishes that then I'm sure they have no problem doing it.

He's freezing himself out. He fights TBA once a year until he gets a name and then he loses. He wins a title off a guy who was KOD 3 times before and goes back to fighting TBA once a year. He's doing it to himself. He should have been looking for these fights 2 or 3 years ago.

Why has this writer failed to Mention Oscar Valdez name? The WBO champ who has come off an impressive victory in his last fight,, if little Escandon landed punches like that on Russell Jr, then Valdez will take him into deep Waters and take him out.

Valdez is not a big name

His hand issues also contribute to his inactivity. Russell hasn't lived up to expectations. His team has to step their fxcking game up. If he can't get another titlist, then go over to the UK and face Frampton or Quigg.

no one gives a crap about about midget Gary Russell or career

Gary Russell is a nothing in boxing just a midget kid going no where and no one cares about this cry baby nothing. elf sized russell is a very small joke not worthy of coverage.

yeah they should mention valdez but his promoter needs to do a better job of promoting him also! Tank davis who is a champion is wayyyy more famous already than most champs at 126 or 130... Valdez and jo jo diaz need more promotion because they have a lot of talent for sure...

I agree he does need to promote him better the cold war is officially over but there hasn't been enough fights between Top-Rank and PBC Fighters

Valdez is not a big name

He is the WBO champ and a hell of a fighter, hardcore boxing fans are aware of the man, it would add another title to Russell's collection as well,, Big name or not it's a great fight.

davis vs russell and davis vs valdez are good fights once russel and valdez move up to 130

Yes they are great fights at 130. But at 126 I want to see Russell Jr vs Valdez

Exactly!!! He's always TBA. I don't expect to see him again until spring/summer of 2018

He has a belt. He wants to unify with the other belt holders.

That's all he should need.

If the other champions are scared he can't force them into the ring.
