With his 5th successful title defense of his WBC strap under his belt. Russell Jr. is ready to face Leo Santa Cruz orGervonta ‘Tank’ Davis next. Russell is giving Santa Cruz a strict deadline of one month to sign a contract to fight him. If not, then Russell Jr. will be moving up to lightweight to look to set-up a fight with WBA champion Tank Davis (23-0, 22 KOs) if he’s willing to fight him. Let’s make the fight happen. Of course, I’ll move to 135,” said Russell Jr. when asked if he’d fight Devin Haney. “I said I was planning on moving up to 135,” said Russell. “If I go up to 135, I don’t want no tune-up fights. I need someone that is going to give me a fight, you know? I’m definitely planning on relinquishing my title. I no longer want to be WBC championat 126. I plan on moving up in weight. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bo...r-wants-gervonta-davis-or-leo-santa-cruz/amp/ Russell taegeting loma rematch and Davis @135 if santana does not sign the contract within a month deadline. I hope he actually does move up. And persue greatness . anyways thoughts on how gary russell does at 135 against davis, Haney, teo , loma rematch??
GRJ will get brutalized at 135. That pitty patty jab crap won't do the trick. If Tug at 126 walks through it one can only imagine what would happen to Russel at 135.
GRJ don’t have the power to keep 126 fighters honest and he only rehydrated to 129.. He’s going to sleep at 135
At least he has more guts than GGG who is too scared to move up. People here are stupid and praise cowards who play it safe and criticise people who are brave and move up.
Not only Loma will give him the second 'L' in his record, but this time it will be his first KO loss.
