OMG You boxers from DC and Md need to grow some balls. Too scared to fight in the tournament and now your fighting a guy who is damn near 40 years old who just fought a guy who is 0-2. Furthermore.this Christopher "Huracan" Perez has fought guys with records of 30-21, 24-17, 24-16, 0-2, 0-11, 0-1, 0-10, 0-1, and 0-14. Now it's obvious why HBO will no longer air Gary's fights. I'm actually surprised that Showtime is doing such. This is garbage! This type of behavior is ruining boxing. Just like Gary williams has said, Russell has decided not to participate in the featherweight elimination bout. What a joke. I'd rather watch paint dry.
Russell is only 24 years old and has fought just one 10 round fight. What is the hurry? There is no reason to jump into the eliminator which would be 12 rounds when he has never even gone farther than 8 rounds. There will be plenty of time for him to fight for a world title, he might as well make sure that when he fights for it that he will win it. He certainly does not have to take chances to please the likes of "Magigal Moments".
he need step up like he run his mouth all the time and fight somebody worth him fighting . he will lose his fans by fighting ducks or people he know he will win. just like the last fight he pull out talking bout his foot was hurt lol what a joke.A Real champ fights whoever and whenever. grow a heart gary russell.
