He is a heck of a prospect and seems like the perfect mix of Floyd and Pacman. He has excellent defense and let's his hands go with a lot of power. For anyone who thinks boxing is dead they haven't watch Russell Jr fight. This kid has a lot of room to grow and will only get better. His career is going to be fun to watch.
Gary Russel needs to fight some b level competition before being boosted in the rating. He can make some mistakes if he is left fighting lower level fighters. He took a left before one of he KD's that a much better fighter could have hurt with. When he fight someone who can bring the heat and he keeps his defense in tack then he's would be ready for a title shot in my opinion.
its hard not to be impressed by his performance tonight but p4p skill level too early too call. a step up in competition is neeeded. although i dont want him rushed to quickly because the kid has a load of potential
He looked really really good tonight. I was really impressed. I need to see him fight against better opposition.
Yeah for real .. Let him do that against an A caliber fighter than I will be impressed ..Right now its to early to get on the hype train ..
Has got great potential but he needs to continue to provide exciting kos/tkos. I like how he fights and great two-handed southpaw attack, unlike JML (who he called out) who is basically a one-handed right hook fighter.
