Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. vs. Kiko Martinez Finalized For Wilder-Breazeale

I don't think we will see it. Apparently he turned down a unification with LSC on three different occasions according to some twitter "insider". If that is true, oh well, stick a fork in him. It seems his entire mission was to win a strap, and then sit on it.

Yup, I heard the same thing. Makes me sick to my stomach.

His sending a message he only fights bums

Jr is the laziest titlist currently... and for him to go with Kiko, as shot as he is? Geez. The guy better step up to a LSC, or get booed off the stage sooner than later.

This kind of matchup is the reason why I've become so jaded with boxing. WHY THE **** IS THIS HAPPENING IN 2019?? Russell is such an underachiever.

What a waste of talent. Obviously, Russell has no interest in facing the best. With each passing day, my interest in boxing is waning because of this type of nonsense.

What a pointless WBC fight. Why does Sulaiman let him do this every year?

[MDPopescu]

This is a waste of time fight. Nyambayar is available and a much better opponent for Russell.

Nyambayar is too big for him...

Terrible fight for russell jr who only fights once a year. kiko is trash and he's a 122lbs fighter. russell jr's heart isn't in it anymore. he hasn't been the same since lomachenko took his soul!

Stop it this is who he’s been. He’s the fighter not the matchmaker
