Good thing Karim Mayfield, Javier Fortuna, and 100 others were willing to step up and put their undefeated records on the line against prospects, contenders, and former champs on ShoBox every week. Screw Russell and his lack of confidence.
Yeah, the truth is, the reason why there aren't a lot more fighters with undefeated records is because they challenge themselves and fight dangerous opponents. I'm not saying Russell Jr doesn't deserve his "zero", but he really should've moved up by now. The kid's opponents have become ridiculously easy for him.

Originally posted by CubanGuyNYC View PostThe kid's got the goods. Russell is truly a high-level talent...blinding hand speed, even faster than Gamboa. It's going to be interesting to see if Gary lives up to his potential. But they're bringing Russell up excruciatingly slow. That could affect where he eventually winds up.
Originally posted by hitking View PostRussell is being brought up in American, not Mexico or some piece of **** third world country like the Phillipines. He is being matched against different styles so that when he steps it up against contenders and champions, he will have seen everything. People were very disgusted at the pace Ward was brought along for the first 4-5 years of his career too. Now look at him. Russell will be fine.
