You have to admire Jo Jo's confidence, but I just do not see him coming close to beating Russell. Russell has more experience and much more speed than anyone Diaz has faced. It will be a good learning experience for Jo Jo and will boost his stock if he manages to make it a close fight.

Looking forward to this May 19 card but this weight class is stacked! The winner of this fight has more work ahead taking charge of this division.

The only man to step up was Lomachenko in 2014, ( yes WAY Back when ) but where are all the other champions at? No other real featherweight but Johnny Gonzalez has come to see tha champ not : Leo Santa Cruz, Carl Fraudton, Lee Selby or Oscar Valdez.
These guys leave Gary Russell out of the conversation as if he don't even exist!
Why do I get the feeling that if Jo-Jo upsets Gary Russell jr. the other champions are finally going to recognize the WBC as a title again? Oh maybe I would like to unify with the new WBC champion, hmm I wonder why.
Honestly my sentiment is that Gary is the main man at 126, and I think he beats Jo Jo Diaz on fight night.

The only win of merit for Russal is against a finished Gonzales, so why would the other feathers care about him when there are bigger fights out there against active fighters?

Originally posted by whoseyourdaddy View PostWell to contradict your notion that no one mentions GRJ name that's a lie, Oscar Valdez has been very adamant in fighting Russell, Valdez mentioned he wanted the Green belt, a he said and I quote "I want the WBC belt, and if it means I have to fight, and beat Gary Russell, that's what I want to do"

What, a finished Gonzales makes you the man now? Because that's all Russal has done.
