I agree with this. After gary gets through this tune up i'd like to see him against a top 126er. I'd still watch.
My issue with Russell was that he talked MAD sh*t about a bunch of top guys saying they weren't in his league. (Several Youtube vids out there) Very disrespectful when you look at his embarassingly bad resume. He finally fights a guy who gets more than 2 weeks notice and gets completely outclassed. I don't care what the scorecards say either. (Well...what they say is that the judges were GRJ biased because that was one sided) These posers want to talk sh*t like some of the greats without proving it first.
