Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: I'll Be Disappointed With Myself If Diaz Goes Distance

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Each of Gary Russell Jr.'s three WBC featherweight title fights have resulted in technical-knockout victories. The confident champion will be disappointed if he doesn't extend that streak against Joseph Diaz Jr. on Saturday night. Diaz promised to "walk down" Russell during their scheduled 12-round, 126-pound title bout, but Russell feels the undefeated Diaz won't be able to take his power.

Diaz is a very good technical fighter so I think he will give GRJ some problems but I think Russell beats him with speed.

You definitely don't want to let it go to the scorecards against a Golden boy fighter...

What you talking about?

Russell is a Haymon fighter he’s protected just fine.

Yea that speed might be a huge hurdle for Diaz to overcome.
