[Smash]

kiko still going, fair play to him, looks like hes managed by sergio martinez

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!

[drablj]

total trash. he might as well retire if the rest of his career is going to be like this.

Sorry GRJ! This is totally unacceptable! If you want to unify with LSC, then what's the hold up? You're gonna look even more like a "Sucka MC" if LSC moves up for Tank Davis! MAN UP!

Wow!!! They dig out Kiko from underneath somewhere! How many times did he fight over here? Time to make some money in America I guess. 😂

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

Definitely, but LIS, only way this fight is okay is if he fights King Tug or LSC next. Then fair play to him. But this can't be his lone fight of the year. WBC needs to hurry up and call the mandatory soon to put some pressure on him.

Fighting once a year and choosing guys like that as opponents? Wow!

Gary's annual tune-up fight so he's in shape for next years tune-up.

I’ve reached the point where I could care less about Russell until he fights someone relevant.

100%. But I just really doubt that Russell will fight twice in one year given his history.

Ive been saying for a while that Gary Russell is the second coming of Tavoris Cloud.

Skilled guy, could be a star, but shows up once every 14 months to cash a check and then everyone forgets about him all over again.

There's worse jobs, I guess.
