    Not related to REED's output but Russell's schedule has been a fuck you to boxing for the past 3-4 years, seemingly reluctantly popping out like the groundhog each year to collect his cheque...nice skills but shame about the attitude

    Newsflash............some guys don't like being hit in the face for pay.


    I hear he has a banging Bedsit tho.

    So far as interest in the guy goes, this is his last shot. If he disappears again then that is that....he's going to be too old by the end of his next hiatus to make any sort of an impact.

    And little guys age faster.

    im sure russell jr woulda fought again last year if he was offered a santa cruz fight.

    meanwhile the JACKAL is about to become 2 division champion, and after he disposes of solis then inoue can get his face broken worse if he so desires.

    Farmer was calling out Russell but I guess that matchup has lost some of its luster.

    REED Noted It as Well...

    Since 2015, Russell's Literally Fought 1 Time Per Year, MOSTLY Not His Fault Though...

    Leo Santa Cruz has SHAMELESSLY Ducked Russell for 2 1/2-3 Years...Russell was Willing to Move Up to 130 to Face Tank in 2019 Also, But Tank and Mayweather Promotions Danced Around it, Just as They've Done When Loma and Farmer Call Tank Out...

    All Week, Russell's Said he's Moving Up to '35 After this Fight, to Get Some Willing Dance Partners...We'll See...

    Russell's Saving Grace is HARDCORE Fans Know He Can Fight, He was an Olympian and He's Held a Featherweight Title Forever...

    But Yeah, the Time is NOW...YESTERDAY, Actually...

    Inoue-Rigondeaux Can't Help BUT to Be an Explosive Fight!!!...

    Rigondeaux's as STUBBORN a Counter-Puncher as REED's Ever Seen, Yet Inoue PREFERS Getting Off 1st...Precisely Like Rigondeaux Would Want him To...Southpaw Stance, Power, Inoue's HITTABLE...

    REED Would Pick Inoue w/Out Question, But Rigondeaux is a LIVE Ass Dog in That One for Certain...Even @ This Stage of His Career...

    Farmer Has No Choice BUT to Exercise the Rematch Clause...

    He was NATHAN Before the Belt and He's NATHAN w/Out the Belt...After the RE, JoJo Would Probably Be Interested in Vindicating His Only Loss, But Russell-JoJo II, @ '30, Could Look a Lot Different Than it Did @ '26...

    Higher Weight Favors JoJo Obviously...Russell's a LITTLE Ass Dude...SHORTER Than Pacquiao...And Not a THICK, Short Guy Like Tank Either...

    Rigondeaux looked very stationary vs ceja probably due to old legs. I'd take inoue but he may get his face broken again. Arum wont do it

    Arum Won't Do it in 2020, But By 2021, Rigondeaux Could Be Anywhere from 48-55 Years of Age, Birth Certificate Be Damned...

    Maybe By Then...

    Was Russell Jr promoted by Mayweather at one point? For some reason I thought he was.

    Nah...

    Russell's Always Been a PBC Guy, as Is Floyd, But Floyd Greatly EXAGGERATES His Level of Influence within PBC...

    Even Tank, Who IS Promoted by Floyd, Fights on PBC Cards...Mayweather Promotions DOESN'T Have a TV Deal and Aside from Vegas Club Shows They Have NATHAN To Do w/Booking the Venues their Fighters Appear In...

    No Connection Between Floyd and Russell, Aside from PBC Affiliation...

    Turns out he was woefully out of shape against Lomachenko

    I dunno how Rigo vs Inoue looks at this point, but Rigo in his prime would certainly have lit Inoue up terribly.

    For a long time the 140-147 was the most interesting area of boxing. Right now there are a lot of interesting matchups from 122-130. You could also say 130-140. We know Lopez-Loma is set. I'd really like to see Oscar Valdez-Miguel Berchelt at 130. Santa Cruz-Stevenson at 126. And Navarette would be a good opponent for anyone at 122 or 126.

    Certainly:Jest:???...

    The ONLY Certainty in a Prime Rigo vs. Prime Inoue Bout is the Loser Get's KO'ed...Inoue Would Engage Which Rigo Prefers, but Let's Not Pretend Rigo Wasn't Hit and Dropped His Fair Share of Times in Punching Exchanges...

    As Shown vs. Donaire, Inoue Has a BETTER Chin and Wouldn't Be Tamed By Rigo's Power, Like the Majority of His Foes Were...Maybe That's Ultimately Inoue's Undoing, Maybe Not...Inoue Would Test Rigo to the BODY More Than Anyone He's Ever Fought, Also....

    REED Ain't Even Making a Prediction 1 Way or the Other But Rigo-Inoue is Faaaaaaaaaaaaar from a Foregone Conclusion, Either Way...
