    Does anybody knows what happened with Gary Russell Jr?

    This dude has not fought since last May and I haven't seen anything happening anytime soon.

    It is a shame because he has the fastest hands in the business and they are many good match ups if he gets it going again.

    Boxing is a tough sport and many guys are already burnt out by the time they become professionals.

    I think with guys like Russell, they just don’t love the sport. I can’t really blame him but I am a fan of guys who you can tell have a passion for boxing. When he needs the money, he will fight again.

      He just doesn't seem interested in the game which is a shame. He has talent and he's entertaining.

      Once a year for the last three years. I guess he's gonna fight Diaz next. Maybe the inactivity will catch up to him soon. Dude said he'd beat Lomachenko 99/100 times. How many lifetimes would he have to live to fight that many times?

            I think getting humiliated by a white guy really hurt his confidence.

              Russell really hasn't changed all that much since Loma, talks a lot, fights a little.

              I miss Walters though

                I dont think it's a white or black thing, but getting schooled so bad I think really hurt him. The s as me would happen to Davis.

                    I think it has some effect. Papa Russell is the black supremacist type. Cried to Fight Hype about one of his boys losing in the Golden Gloves claiming that the judges didn't want a black set of brothers to match a Golden Gloves record set by some European set of brothers. Losing so badly in every facet of the game ****ed with Gary mentally and tarnished his family name.
