Russell Jr. looks the part. He got blazing hand speed but he's being moved along very slowly. It's easy to let your hands fly when you know nothing is coming back in return that can damage you.
Add that to the fact that he's in the lower weight classes which aren't as popular on the PPV circuit.
Russell will be 25 this year, while Broner is 23. Broner will fight Rees and hopefully we see him back against another top LW, hopefully either the winner of Burns-Vazquez or the winner of Abril-Bogere.
Russell, well we'll probably see him back against another TBA caliber opponent.
