    Russell Jr vs King Tug

    This fight is very intriguing
    Russell Jr making this year’s appearance against the tough as nails Mongolian King Tug

    Is Nyambayar to green , only 11 fights in , is it to high a step ?
    Many people smelling an upset
    Russell seems to be , hopefully , on a mission
    Not taking a full year off , mentioning Davis and Loma

    My thinking is Russell will adapt to King Tug in the second half and walk away with a hard fought decision

    Couldn’t find any odds on this fight , would like to know how the books have it

    I have not seen this guy from Mongolia fight. I know Russell to be very good with power and lightning hand speed so I have to think he will beat a guy I don't know who has only 11 pro fights. I will try to see some fight film on this guy.

        So you don’t think King Tug has a chance ?

            Hard to say I haven't seen king tug fight but I know he is no slouch . But gary is like mini in active Roy jones and if he comes in sharp ( a big if fighting 5 times in 5 years ) i think he wins . Gary is really good , shame hes so inactive I dont see him losing to fighters who arent elite and I'll freely admit I cant gauge where tug is at . Should be a decent scrap tho . It's really a shame Russell is so inactive . Hes very fun to watch .

              Of course triangle theories don't always work out in boxing so take it with a grain of salt, but Nyambayar stopped Escandon faster than Russell and he also stopped Ruiz, whom Russell took to a UD10.

              He beat Marrero in a competitive but very clear decision, and Marrero is himself about to fight Galahad in an IBF eliminator.

              He's also an Olympic Silver Medalist, IBO champ, and ranked in the top 7 at TBRB, Ring, BoxRec, ESPN, IBF, and WBC.

              I see this fight as a toss up.

                I think he’s a very live dog
                That’s why I was asking if anybody knew the odds on this fight

                  I like Russell, he’s from my area so I hope he wins and continues to piss of the WBC

                    I really like Tug. Wish he had taken a tune up though. 14 months singe he won the eliminator.
