Trust me, he does have it when he sits down on it. I've seen him score out-cold knockouts and big-time mind-muddling knockdowns (more legit and forceful than this one in the 7th against Estrada). Usually he goes for points, and is one of the few boxers who manages to still be entertaining while doing so.
Who trains Russell ? Anyone know ? I only got to see the fight in bits so didn't really catch the corner time.
His dad, Gary Senior. Of course we know how Jim Lampley feels about the father/trainer and son/boxer dynamic, but personally I think it can work depending on the individual chemistry (and how much the dad actually knows his **** about boxing) :yep Enzo and Joe is a good example of it working. Jack and Shane, as well.
"I think it can work depending on the individual chemistry (and how much the dad actually knows his **** about boxing) :yep Enzo and Joe is a good example of it working. Jack and Shane, as well." IB, I agree.
Lampley and his biases. I hadn't seen alot of Russell b4 tonight but boy did he look crisp and sharp. Gr8 to see upcoming talent like this :good
Jason "The Hammer" LeHoullier is from my neck of the woods, but is apparently based out of Sydney Australia now. :think
Zab and his dad - not so great , Big Roy with his plastic ass whipping pipe and little Roy - forget it.
Round 1 Jab by Quillin. Right hand to the chest. More snappy jabs. Quillin looks to be warming up. LeHoullier just backs up and swipes with a wide left hook as Quillin backs him up with quick straight barrages coming forward. LeHoullier loses his balance and misses badly with a stray hook, getting countered. HUGE counter right by Quillin sends LeHoullier almost diving through the ropes, barely steadying himself at the last second. LeHoullier just looks so much weaker in there. Quillin uses his enormous strength advantage to toss LeHoullier around the ring like a rag doll in between his blocked shots. Not all are getting blocked, though. LeHoullier's face is all red and puffy already. All LeHoullier can do is back up and try to hug the ropes and dive into clinches. 10-9 Quillin
