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

Arum needs to make Russel vs. Valdez happen. In this case id blame Arum if that fight dont happen.

Agreed

If his goal is a rematch with Loma he better leave Tank alone.

I look at as, if you can't beat Tank, then leave Loma alone!

[STREET CLEANER]

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.

Never said that he wasn't a good fighter. I actually would like to see it. But I bet he is gunning for Mares, Santa Cruz, Frampton, etc

He already fought Loma.

If he fights Tank he won't have much of a career left.

There won't be a Loma rematch.

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

even without the cold war top rank always matches their guys in house.... Valdez vs santa cruz or mares needs to happen in 2017 if not 2018.... Valdez deserves big fights already....

[BOXINGADICT]

yes they are great fights at 130. But at 126 i want to see russell jr vs valdez

valdez coach manny robles said he wants mares or santa cruz at 126 over russell.... I agree with him! Valdez vs leo or valdez vs mares are big fights in california! They could sell out the forum

WBC featherweight champion Gary Russell Jr. (28-1, 17 KOs) is a man on a mission - hungry for a big fight. If Russell is unable to secure a significant fight at 126-pounds, then he plans to move up to super featherweight. Russell is managed by Al Haymon - who also manages the majority of the big names at the weight - including WBA champion Leo Santa Cruz, Abner Mares, Carl Frampton, IBF champion Lee Selby, Jesus Cuellar and Oscar Escandon.

Why not rigo?

[AdonisCreed]

I want to see him get a rematch against Loma. Also Leo Santa Cruz would be another great option as well as Frampton. But I'm definitely interested in a rematch with Loma.

Talk is Framptons fighting Mijares, with Frampton being number 1 in the WBC rankings and Mijares the WBC Silver Champion youve gotta expect the winner is fighting Russell Jr next
