GRJ is a tool but I don't think anyone would disagree that if he is healthy he would beat that guy… But he's only got himself to blame he shouldn't have took the fight. The Filipino was much younger much bigger and much fresher and came to fight, you are not going to beat that guy with just your ****ing left hand especially when you are a T-Rex LOL.. I would say get healthy and go for a rematch but I don't think Mark will have two years to wait for him .. just retire , you've squandered immense talent and had the potential to put together a quality career but pissed it up the wall
Id disagree. In the first three rounds, Magsayo was putting paws on Russell pretty damn good. Swept the first three rounds easily.
This. Magsayo was killing him to the body and just doing whatever he wanted. Too bad he got a 4 round tank.
So happy these protected American divas keep losing belts despite having everything stacked in their favour.
He has some skill. He showcased that. Russell's issue is his weird build. He has the cranium of normal sized person and the body of a little person. His height and reach deficits negate his handspeed advantage. He does well against guys his size. Or bigger guys that are more flat footed. A bigger guy with athleticism is his cryptonite it seems.
Agree he does have an odd build I'm just not sure where he goes from here. The dude looks like a bobble head...
He’s built like a bobble head! It’s hard to judge him based on this performance because he was obviously injured and it impacted his options offensively. Sad to see a once promising fighter fall so far but he hasn’t taken a lot of punishment ans hopefully saved his money for retirement t.
