      ah yes, that sparkly Bauble. Hopefully there'll be a swift Unification at SMW then as Smith has WBC diamond as well as WBA super.

        Shouldn't be a hard fight to make since both are advised by uncle Al.

          This should be a fun one. Hope it happens. Favor Russell. Think the only guy Russell might lose to at his weight is the guy he already lost to & he ain't there no more.

            I really hope these mandos come to fuition but the WBC is such a joke they dont follow their own rules. They never strip anyone and they dont enforce their mandos

                Slim chance of happening this year but it's a positive direction with regards to them actually fighting. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long.

                Russell is an excellent talent but it's a shame he's a once a year fighter these days. He doesn't have the status and I'm assuming fortune of money to be that way. I favor him here in a good, close battle.

                  A very good fight in the making. Gary Russell Jr takes this one going away. He is the faster, more accurate and throws the better combination punches of the two. Leo Santa Cruz on the other hand, is virtually an arm and volume puncher with basically no speed or power. I just think that fundamentally, Gary Russell, Jr is the more complete fighter of the two.

                    Good fight but it's crazy how only the WBC is mandating their champions to fight against other champions from other sanctioning bodies. They only do it when its convenient, why don't they mandate all their other champions to do the same?

                      I thought that was what the silver belt was for? I thought it went:

                      WBC Diamond
                      WBC Regular
                      WBC Silver
