Gary Russell JR... How far can he go?

Yeah his reach sure is giving him lots of problems so far in his career atsch

GRJr's speed and accuracy in his punches, as well as excellent reaction time and a sound defense makes him a force to be reckoned with. Imo guys like GRJr and Gamboa are way past the "prospect" stage now and about damn time they start fighting real competition to see what they're really made of.

 

Let's not get carried away just yet, he hasn't fought anybody. How mighty Broner struggled when he stepped up against Ponce De Leon, let's see how Russell deals with such a task.

 

Good post. In Broner's case, after he stepped up to face PDL he gained experience that took him to that next level although he was very lucky to get the nod in that fight. Had he lost, it could have derailed his career. Luckily he was given the win even though I thought he lost.
