Comments Thread For: Nyambayar: I Had A Sprained Ankle Against Gary Russell; I'd Love A Rematch

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Tugstsogt Nyambayar believes his fight against Gary Russell Jr. would've unfolded differently had he not been limited by a sprained right ankle. The featherweight contender revealed Thursday during a virtual press conference that his injured ankle hindered him the night he lost to Russell seven months ago. Nyambayar twisted his ankle during training camp and said it restricted roadwork while preparing for the biggest fight of his career.

Woulda been a better look if he'd said, "wasn't my night, would love a rematch, see if I could do better", and just left it at that.

I thought Tug came on in the later rounds but just waited too long. I'd love to see a rematch too.

Tug is one tough cookie.
Pushed GRJ to the very limit.

I believe he has what it takes to be a belt holder some day.

Notice how low the comments is for Tug‘a excuses but for certain other fighters after they make excuses they get called out their name an or clowned on!

He simply wasn’t experienced enough to beat Russell jr yet, I think in a rematch things could go differently as Gary isn’t no spring chicken!

I only see one bad comment. Gary is too mobile, even if Tug didn't have a broke leg. Tug went straight at Gary and did relatively well, but Gary has enough style to side step bull rushes. I saw Gary fade late, bull fighting takes energy, and his time is passing. Maybe Tug can run him down next time.
