If Gary wins today, I think he will be the 119 Gold Medal winner in 2008. The guy he is boxing today is the best of the bunch.
(besides Gary) Gary deserves all the credit in the world if he gets past this guy today. Good Luck Gary! I know you aint pulling out of fights like the others. You are a true soldier.
Dont count on Gary winning today, Rios is the Golden Gloves National Champion and Gary will also pull out of this just like Wade. You DC guys keep pulling out of tough fights. Baltimore never, ever backs out of a fight. How do you even face people when you come home? Your hand was hurting-right?
Everyones hand hurts-huh? Remendoel
Kuibey Senrople. Thats what you are!!!
West Side, I got news for you. Gary will never pull out of nothing in the olympic year. He does not back out of nothing. You must got him confused with dominic Wade.
I have no idea about this one!
Baltimore you just Jeelous, Gary Russell will win it all this week. He aint pulling out of nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We gonna have a home-coming party for him sucker... Read the Washington Post Monday morning...
Gary is from a differnt cloth the Wade. Gary is a true fighter. He dont back-out of nothing.
I got a grand that says Gary Russell comes home the champ-
He beats Rios and anyone else there
Wade pulled out because he had striped throat. He does have drs note. Gary would not pull out if he had one arm. he is a true soldier. he wins it all. bring it home baby! Gary u r the man...
and you owe me 1000 how do you spell yellow? G-a-r-y J-r
russel did pull out
Gary Russell, Jr. is a legit champion. Would somebody please tell me what happen. Why was Russell medically disqualified? Rios is a lucky youngster. A healthy Russell,Jr. will conquer all.
Rest assure, you'll see Allan Russell in 2012. Don't fall asleep on the Russell brothers.
