Devin Haney - Gary Russell

[daggum]

Can't be worse than GGG-Brook, Canelo-Khan or Loma-Rigo I suppose...

well all those fights ****** if thats your point but if you want to break it down ggg and brook were both undefeated established fighters, same with loma rigo, canelo khan khan had been'd ko'd like a billion times and wasnt relevant so that one was even worse. in this haney russell fighter haney hasnt even fought anyone so cherry picking a tiny guy so much smaller looks especially bad

I don't see it as cherry picking really, GRJr has been talking about moving up and calling out all kinds of bigger guys, and all the other top LWs are tied up with fights. I can't think of a better available fight for Haney at the moment.

isn't he supposed to fight fortuna? that seems like a much better fight but maybe something happened? i haven followed it too closely but to go from fortuna who is a solid top 10 guy to gamboa and now maybe russell? complete downgrade but maybe something happened and the fortuna fight cant happen

This will be a great win for Haney.

Ignore the haters.

I thought I read Fortuna still wants the Linares fight. I could be wrong.

Apparently Fortuna wants to proceed with a fight with Linares.

but isnt that because he tried to fight haney and haney said no?

Well Gary Russell Jr. also talked about moving up to 147 to fight Terrence Crawford which is even more absurd.

At this point I just want to see him fight in the ring instead of on social media.

what’s even MORE absurd is YT channels claiming Terence was scared of Gary
