Hmmmm tough fight for both guys. Me personally I would favor Russell, since Valdez loads up on punches too much.
GRJ easily too. I was very impressed with his showing against JoJo Diaz. I believe Diaz beats everyone else in the weight class but will never get a rematch with GRJ, which I think he can improve upon.
Let's just say if Valdez rips GRJ with the body shots that Jojo landed, he wouldn't be standing up. Jojo is featherfisted, Oscar hurts fools.
Santa Snooze and Frampton would be competitive, but I doubt they beat Diaz. Santa Snooze probably gets stopped too. Either way, I’d love to see these fights rather than “lip wrasslin’ (J. Prince reference)” about it. Based on Leo’s poor sportsmanship (not returning the favor of an immediate rematch to Frampton), I am not sure he’d take a fight with Diaz...or GRJ, who has been calling him out.
GRJ brittle hands won’t allow him to go twelve with Valdez.. that might be a key in the fight.. Valdez took a lot of punishment against Quigg and did not quit.. If Gary can’t KO by 5 he will break his hands which will force him to fight different
