I’m a fan of Russell

But if he’s only wants to fight once a year there’s no excuse fighting Kiko who at this point is just used by the Top guys at 126 as a opponet who’s a somewhat credible name has almost 0% chance of winning , who’ll show up & get boot f.ucked

Credit to Kiko for still signing up to get beat down once a year by the best. It’s basically been 4-5 years of him signing up fighting the best in the division almost knowing he’s getting curb stomped and he won’t be Seeing the final bell.

Takes some stones to be that type of opponet for 5 years

I was impressed by how he fought a spirited but losing fight. Tonight he lacked something in there.

I thought Gary's stock went up vs Loma too as he gave it a game effort all the way through the end of 12. But yes, feels like Gary is mentally and physically retiring and settling into his rocking chair dreaming of the fights that coulda been, all the weights he would have unified, and how he would have beaten Loma in a rematch.

RIP Gary.

You were impressed by him being used as a punching bag by Lomochencko?

You do realize the Loma fight wasn't last year, but back in like 2014 right???
