    Good for him. Too bad most people don't care about him at this point. The most logical thing for Russell would be to target either the winner of Fulton-Foster or Tank.

    This one has gone completely under the radar. Looks like Chuck is right, because no one seems to care at all.

    This guy wasted his career. He could have accomplished a lot given the landscape of 126 over the years.

    Which means he is old for a smaller weight fighter.

    Russell always had an elite skillset but he was too selective with his fights and thought he was a much bigger star than he was, apparently he's really difficult for promoters to work with as well? Not sure how true that is.

    Wasn't Russell just a show up once a year for a check then wait until next year fighter?

    Its now almost been a year since the comeback fight, looks like we are on regular schedule again.

    Yeah. I read somewhere that he is not a big fan of boxing, or fighting himself. He's just in it for the money. Probably the reason why he fights once a year.
