    They are banking on Gary's InActivity

    As a HUGE supporter of Jojo this might be the wrong move

    Russell has more power+speed

    While Jojo is extremely talented, he has not been matched tough & mostly fought come forward Mexican brawlers, who wont prep you for Gary boy

    Maybe woulda been smarter to target/become mandatory for Valdez or even LSC or Mares

    Worried Jojo could get wrecked here...

    While Gary been inactive he not old

    No. GBP doesn't really protect their fighters. They tend to do what's best for the sport and not necessarily the individual.

    JoJo earned his shot at Russell and he is gunning to become world champion, GBp is trying to help him reach his goals.

    I wish more promotional companies were like GBP in the sense that they make sure their fighters fight the best.

    JoJo should be the underdog as he is still unproven at the world level, but based on his dominant performances and obvious skill set, he will be a very live underdog m

    If Gary stays out of the sauna, he's got this.(as much as I don't like him.)

    I know JoJo’s the mandatory, but I don’t think this fight will happen. Instead, GRJ will dump the belt and keep up his futile chase of Lee Selby.

    If the fight happens, i’ll go with JoJo for the upset.
