    I saw this guy on I think ESPN a few months ago. He lost but is an OK fighter. Fair test for Russell.

    He is an OK fighter, but this is stylistic slaughter.

    Russell's speed against Nguyen's utter lack of defense...this will be gory.

    This will be one-sided at best, possibly a straight mismatch. Ngyun is ok but like others have said the styles here make Russell a big favorite. HBO is showing this as part of a triple header but these are the kind of fights they should get away from. Its not hard to make more competitive fights with whatever money they're paying for this. I don't have a problem with Nguyen as an opponent for Russell just with HBO giving us another lopsided fight.

    If GRJ can score a stoppage against Nguyen, who is a tough customer, perhaps it will offset much criticism he's been receiving for the lack of power display in his last outing. Personally, I think GRJ has some good pop in his punches - and the flack he's gotten for failing to score a stoppage in an 8 rounder was a bit unfair.

    Dan Rafael says this is not being televised.

    Not a bad fight IMO.

    Every round of Mister Russell doin' work that goes untelevised is a crime against boxing fans.

    I suppose thats true but most everyone is calling it a mismatch.
