garbage card

The younger Gary's are nowhere near as talented as the "big" Gary. The main event should be a good scrap but if GRJ is in the same shape he showed up to the Escondon fight in then he'll have and extremely long night ahead of him. Diaz is the more technical boxer and GRJ is the more gifted fighter. Looking forward to this one for sure!

Reminds me of an Only Fools and Horses episode (classic British sit com)

I have yet to see GRJ's brothers fight.

They both have a high KO percentage so far into their young careers, though, so they must be doing something right. If they also have some of GRJ's speed then what's not too like?

Im looking forward to this fight. Gary Russel is a special talent. If it wasnt for his inactivity i would hugely favor him but his inactivity makes this intriguing bcuz JoJo has skill. I thing Diaz lack of power will be his demise doe.

The youngest actually has some skill and ability, e also went to the Olympics like the oldest Russell did. The middle one doesn't impress me much though.

I love this matchup. IMO Diaz is one of the best young technicians out there, but you never really know how someone like that will deal with top level speed until the see it up close. Diaz seems to be ready to ascend and we don't know how "all in" Russell is at this point. Makes it pretty close I think . definitely watching this one

That's the thing. They dont even have a fraction of his speed which is the main reason GRJ leaves people in awe. Like u said, you've never seen them fight. I have in person and a couple times on TV. Don't get me wrong I favor Russell to win the fight and want him to win but he lacks important fundamentals which were extremely evident in the Loma fight.
