Leo Santa Cruz vs Gary Russell in the works

Finally. Hope Russell Jr. works on his cardio for this one. He was dead in the water in the 12th round of that last fight.

 

?

 

Turd is that you?

 

Damn...a lot of punches will be throw in this fight.

 

This is what happens when you are just going through the motions.
LSC should get him motivated.

 

Would be a helluva fight, can't possibly imagine it being boring or anything other than exciting/action packed with a high display of technical skill.

I favor GRJ but depends which Russel Jr shows up. A highly driven and intensely focused/motivated GRJ -- don't think I could possibly imagine him losing this one I guess other than LSC catching him cold which surely could happen. An unmotivated and not entirely engaged GRJ though? LSC would pimp his rear out all night long, and for cheap too. LSC as an opponent should properly motivate GRJ though so I'd expect to see the best version of each square off.

 

Russell Jr had his SOUL taken away by Lomachenko.

Just think if he'd managed to avoided Lomachenko he'd probably be like Crawford now - undefeated, overhyped and having faced nobody.

 

Good fight, to think LSC can outwork GRJ in route to a UD, but it won't be easy that's for sure.

 

That's interesting. He's been undefeated since, and looked pretty good.

 

Yeah he is good, But he fights ****ing once a year! I think the Lomachenko defeated humbled him badly, must have low confidence and expectations/ambitions to only fight once a year.
