Gary Russell jr vs Oscar Escandon and Jermell Charlo vs Charles Hatley on Broner vs Granados

Not bad.
Would obviously like to see Russell more active

 

Good. Agree Russell has had too much time off.

 

I was very curious to see who GRJ gonna fight next.
I guess Garry Russell Jr the businessman is making very good money for this fight. He said he'll only fight if it makes sense in financial terms, so it must be that this guy brings a lot of dough to the table.
I know this Escadon guy, he fought a while back some canadian dude on ESPN and it was called one of the most obvious robberies of that year. I think that guys name was Tyson something and it was an eliminator, but I might be wrong.

The other two bouts are very appealing. Not a bad card overall

 

Wow, pretty good supporting card! Escandon is no pushover, and Hatley is decent... He's just got a big mouth that Charlo is going to shut.

 

Can Granados follow the Maidana/Porter blueprint?

 

No way. I think Granados is going to get picked apart all night.

 

Probably, but it wouldn't be the first upset Granados has pulled off.

 

Broner is better than Imam. He's a tough kid and will give it a good go, but he's outgunned pretty much in every area. Even Heart. Also Granados pressure game isn't as relentless as Maidana and porters, HE MIGHT start getting beaten up late, and stopped.
