    Gary Russell Jr has finally stopped fighting absolute tomato cans. Theres a novel idea.

    Too bad GazOC got a hollow victory based on him fighting every 2 days against homeless people.

    Gonna be tough for Truscott this one. Russell is left handed and extremely quick.

    I like Truscott, and without breaking the fight down, from the outset, you would have to think, if he cant beat Simpson, whom I respect, how's he gonna beat someone as talented as Russell? That said, one thing Truscott has going for him, is whilst he appears to be on a lower level maybe, he does have good Boxing skills.

    Should be interesting one this, I wont rule Truscott out, but I guess you would have to favour Russell.

    I know mate. I think it basically boils down to the fact LP and Mandy can not be ****ed to do it anymore - because they are lazy *******s.

    Truscott will be a major underdog but unbelievably considering Russell Jr was an elite amateur, he is his opponent to date and he has faced the better level of opposition.

    His best chance would be to really test Russel's temperament. Keep it tight rake and frustrate him. Thus far Russell hasn't been remotely tested, which is never a good thing for such an advanced professional.

    If fat Dan is to be believed this will be on HBO :lol:

    HBO really are desperate to push some sort of elite American talent.

    In my book that puts them down with A Force, Boxen and posters like that.

    That is just above Gaz, who is willing to accept such a hollow victory.

    Not just accept, but indeed gloat and parade his success via avatar, all while wallowing in self-adulation.

    I was outraged at the time because I don't think my boys had time to come to fruition. Nevertheless I'm getting over it.

    This one will be a tough fight for our Paul, his problem is he let's his heart rule his head sometimes and even though i keep telling him that, he never listens haha.

    Hopefully he'll come through, be tough and hard but i believe he can

    Notice how Gaz hasn't even commented on this? he doesn't give a **** about his 'boy'. He just used and abused him. Horrified. That whole tournament was very underhand - makes me feel sick.

    If its true Russell will win easily, very talented he is, with some of the quickest hands in boxing. I think he will be a future champion.
