Gary Russell is one of my favorite fighters but dang he only fights once every two or three years!!! Anyway I'm just happy he's getting in the ring again!!

Good to see Russell getting back in there. Good fight. Hopefully he stays more active going forward. He can easily rule 126.

Now this is a good fight. Diaz might beat him, he looks the part and Russel has been very inactive

Is Lomachenko ducking Russell yet?
