Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr. vs. Nyambayar Tops SHO Tripleheader, Feb. 8th

[Bronx2245]

maybe because GRJ is unknown to most, fighting once a year since 2014 makes him irrelevant, and nowhere near popular enough for PBC to rent out the barclay for the night

I was thinking MGM Grand, Oxon Hill, MD. That's where he beat Escandon and Jo Jo Diaz.

From the little I've seen, Tug has elite level skills, lightning fast reactions/hands, serious power, high ring i.q and he's very fan-friendly - likes to pull faces for the camera and shti, He's a real character and GRJ is in for hell.
I'm hyped for this Mongolian guy, he's got the full arsenal.
Now watch GRJ beat Tug up, now I've backed him.

Thanks! But even if he loses that’s not the end of the world. He seems green don’t beat yourself up over a loss. Some of my favorite in fact ALL have losses

Russell is another example of wasted talent due to inactivity.

With the kind of fights he's had he should be a 3 time a year guy. He doesn't take alot of punishment due to weak opposition. I'd love to see the G.R.J vs L.S.C fight just dont think it's in the cards. It almost seems like 2 different era fighters thatd be great to match against one another but their both fighting right now same era a couple months apart.

This is for longevity, I think. Gary is looking for a longest reigning record of some sort. Most time, instead of most fights?
