ReplyDeleteRussell will quit in 7th round by complaing that his hand aches.
ReplyDeleteI love competitive boxing! "Let's get it!"
ReplyDeleteLiL Gary looked drained at the weight ins. should move up to 135 or 140.
ReplyDeleteLomachenko is a very promising young fighter that quite honestly could be the future of the sport. If Lomachenko can take all of his amazing attribute's and put them together this Saturday, he may just end up being the new WBO Featherweight Champion.
