    I said this time and time again but people still keep going on and on about the same ****...HATIN!!! Russell has said over and over in countless number of interview and articles on just about ever form of media...."The Scene" "The Hype", ESB Y-tube and more about he wants to fight Garcia, Juanma, Nonito, Gamboa and more. Yet everytime all these other fighters get interviewed THEY NEVER MENTION RUSSELL JR.

    Yet everyone keeps saying Russell Jr. needs to step-up. You, I and everyone else knows why they are not mentioning Russell's name. But keep the hating going to convince yourselves.

    Call out the fighters that your 'advisor' Al Haymon won't even talk to cuz they are TR fighters. Yep, I'm convinced.

    Russell looks like a million bucks Vs. these D level fighters he has been facing not even in the same realm as Garcia yet, put in some more work first.

    I didn't like how Garcia looked in those last rounds before the Salido fight ended. He looked weak and like he didn't want to fight. Looks like one of those fighters who want to quit when the going gets tough. It seemed as if he was relieved that the fight was stopped.

    Sure Salido was losing, but there was no quit in him and he turned up the heat on a cut Garcia. Garcia's punches were also not hurting Salido anymore, like they did in the first rounds. Almost as if Salido gauged his power and mentally made himself take his punches better.

    Oh No?

    "There's a lot of names. It sucks that most of the names are with Top Rank. [Top Rank CEO] Bob Arum has got JuanMa Lopez who is fighting Mikey Garcia [on June 15.] They've got Salido. All good fights," said Mares.

    "But there is one guy that Golden Boy has, which is Gary Russell. They're hyping him up and they're bringing him up. They're looking at the winner of this fight. Who knows? It might be against him. I'm up for all of the big fights. I'm not here to take no easy fights. If Golden Boy comes at me and says, 'Abner, okay, you have a tough fight on May 4, relax and take an easy fight.' I'm going to say, 'No. bring on the next guy.' A tough fight? Let's bring it," said Mares.

    "I'm about that. I want to please the crowd, make my money and get out of this quick and make history.
    Donaire is still there, even after one loss. He just fought a better man that night. I'm open to fight anyone. I'm looking into all of these big fights. I know that Leo Santa Cruz wanted to fight me in the past, and he's at 122. If he's willing to move up to 126, let's do it. You know, after this fight, I don't know how my body's going to feel to go back down to 122, but if my body can do it, I'm willing to go back down to 122 to make that fight happen with Santa Cruz for the fans."

    Russell Jr ain't ready for Garcia, and hasn't even earn't a shot at him yet, maybe he should fight someone in the worlds top 50 then we will see how good he is

    I suggest he fights someone like Robinson Castellenos next who is coming off a win against Caballero but is little more than a gatekeeper to be frank.

    Source? Or context at least?

    Did Russell Jr say this? Or maybe he was hangin' out w/Broner and Broner said it and Gary nodded his head kinda' and said, "uuuhhh...yeah..."

    They do not know who he is maybe? He hasnt fought anyone ranked in the top 30. Why would they mention a young kid who has fought no one?

    Gary will be broken down by a swarming type fighter who can take his punch. He has a history of brittle hands so he will break them and then retreat.

    he needs to fight somebody first before he opens his little ass mouth, about Mikey Garcia!

    in my opinion a Garcia is a P4P fighter
