Comments Thread For: Mares calls Gary Russell best at 126 over Santa Cruz, Frampton

There were many that felt Jo Jo Diaz was going to win that fight! After GRJ did his thing, it's easy to downplay the victory! However, I agree, that GRJ has to face LSC in 2019! I would love to see him move to 130 and fight Tank (DC vs. B-More), but it probably won't happen!

Won't be competitive. Gary too small. Bad for health!

"I honestly feel that the best and most talented fighter here is Gary Russell" ....thanks for stating the obvious.

Maybe so, but I still wouldn't mind seeing it!

Will Russell fight at 135? I don't see Davis staying at this weight after Mares.

Nah! Too much! I agree, Tank probably moves to 135! I hope he fights Devin Haney once he gets there!

I'd love to see that. Fresh young guys fighting each other. Loma and Berchelt should get in the mix, too. Mini-tournament at 135.

I can't make up my mind between Russel and Santa Cruz, Russel passes the eye test better but Santa Cruz arguably has better wins. It'd be easier if either of them fought more than once in a blue moon, it feels like an eternity since I last heard anything about either doing anything, much less something significant.

Tank should fight Berchelt before he goes to 135!

I would pick Leo over GRJ and Frampton today at 126. I would pick GRJ over Frampton.

GRJ isn't active enough to be ranked anything but no.3 in the division. Frampton and LSC both have better wins at 126 also, having taken each others' "0".
