Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Will Have Voluntary, Then Must Face Joseph Diaz

[Feint First]

LOL at all the well-deserved shade being thrown towards Russell, and yet this guy is still Flomachenko's best win

[HURTFEELINGS]

Loma is the only boxer who beat Russell, the other Top Boxers, dont want to fight him. He said he wants that Loma fight, but he's always said he doesnt plan on boxing for a long time. You see he's still KOing everyone else. Diaz is going to get stopped, also.

Russell needs to fight more. I was all for him getting a rematch with Lomachenko but he hasn't made the necessary improvements to beat him. As quick as he is he likes to plod for some reason. You can't beat Lomachenko by plodding.

He can still beat other top boxers in and around his weight class.

[Mammoth]

Would be awesome if we see his fight twice in one year

[Derranged]

GRJ, if he's serious about a rematch with Lomachenko should either A) ask for a Loma rematch now, or B) seek a fight with Tank Davis @ 130! Tank is not on the level with Loma, but both are Maryland/DC fighters, and it should sell well, and GRJ will still maintain his 126 title. Other than LSC or Mares, there's no one to fight @ 126!

A rematch with Loma would be a waste of Loma's time and he's probably moving up to 135 soon anyway. GRJ can pretend he overtrained for the first fight all he wants. Nobody is buying it and he's practically irrelevant now.

Actually, I believe GRJ is still the best @ 126! His loss to Loma gets better every time someone gets stopped or quits vs. Loma! As of today, GRJ is the best fighter Loma has faced! Loma is the one who called out GRJ after the Rigo fight. He said he doesn't believe GRJ wants that work, which is why I said GRJ should respond to the challenge or face Davis. Thus far, GRJ has not responded to Loma. Who do you want Loma to fight @ 135, now that Garcia and Linares have fights, and Beltran also has a fight for the vacant WBO title @ 135?

Against TBA.............Where he would display his awesome hand speed.

Let's keep it real here. Loma has not called out GRJ a second time. He was responding to a media question about fighting Gary a second time. Gary does not want that work. He postures for the media but that's it.

Gary and his team should put pressure on Al to get the other guys at 126 under Al's umbrella, but we have not seen any indication at all that he has ever tried. All of them do not even mention each other. Santa Cruz, Mares, Frampton etc. All good fights for Gary, but Gary will end up fighting some dude from Thailand named kotchiumba75k battery and be perfectly content with it.

Well if you want to keep it real, GRJ has called out all of the Featherweights under PBC, and none of them respond! LSC and Mares only talk about each other or Frampton, and all Frampton talks about is fighting in UK/Ireland! Loma is the only one who stepped up! The only person I've heard call out GRJ, besides Loma, was Jo Jo Diaz! Hopefully, that happens in 2018!
