    I think he's going to destroy Jojo Diaz. Jojo is a nice technical boxer, he has good timing but Russell will be too much for him. I see Russell beating him pretty easily by stoppage or wide UD.

    Nah, he'll confirm your belief in him when he dismantles JoJo like you believe he will. You're 100% spot on here.

    I'm a fan of JoJo, but he's got nothing for Russell.

    Russell jr. Is the real deal. He's just criminally inactive, while Haymon seems to be allowing guys like the Cowardly Lion of Belfast and Leo Pantycruz to duck him, just like they ducked Rigondeaux. A shame he doesn't get the chance to show his true quality.

    Russell could have been a p4p level guy, they f'd him over. Most mismanaged boxer I have ever seen.

    I think GRJ should win. But credit to JoJo, win or lose, for DEMANDING this fight. Despite GRJ’s best effort at goading Santa Snooze, Abner, and Selby, none of those guys will answer the call.

    It's crazy to me that jojo took this fight. I thought maybe jojo had the reach advantage, but he doesn't even have that. It's going to be timing vs speed.

    Lomachenko made Russell look bad. Russell is not a Lomachenko. Don't know how Diaz will do against Russell since Russell hasn't fought in over 100 years!
