Russell fighting twice in a year would be shocking. I love this fight though so hopefully it happens sometime in the summer.

I think a lil too much too soon for Diaz but I like the confidence this kid has to chase this fight. Russell might lose this one cuz the lack of credible opponents and lack of activity Diaz is a good boxer.

Would love to see Diaz-Russell on the Canelo-Triple g undercard.
It's a big step up for Diaz but it's time to see what he's got!
WAR DIAZ!

I can't wait till Russell and JoJo get these tuneups out of the way and meet up in the center of the ring.

They should call it Southpaw Supremacy

Decent fight between two former US Olympians. GRJ should win with ease.

Put GRJ in the names of boxers who need to retire and stop wasting the fans time GRJ and KHAN

I have never seen a fighter so content to do nothing. GRJ is one weird dude.

I have a feeling Russell will vacate due to politics
