What are your thoughts on JAVIER FORTUNA ??

[Silkeyjoe]

I was a bit disappointed with him against hyland. Hyland is pretty average and I thought he would get him out of there. Has looked good in other fights tho so just a bad day in the office but he could struggle when stepping up in class

Yea that was dissapointing but that was a case of a young fighter having an off day or just choking under the bright lights of HBO.

If memory serves me right, they fought on the Pac-Marquez undercard and that was a huge stage for a young fighter like Fortuna to be in. It's understandable if he froze.. It happens to everybody.

I dont even count that fight against him though because he won and looked sensational in his next bout..

I give him alot of credit for knocking out Cristobal Cruz few fights before that. Cruz has always been a sturdy warrior and Fortuna handled him without breaking a sweat..

Ive been saying this for awhile but Id pick Fortuna over Russell..

I have a hunch that Russell has a weak chin so I'd agree with Fortuna beating him and I'd go with a stoppage.i think Russell has the better skills tho so if he has a solid chin I'd say Russell takes it

I question his chin as well. IT seems like he's also cursed with brittle hands which is like a death sentence to some fighters ala Malignaggi.. U just never know when those hands will go out on him during a fight. Russell is definitely more polished than Fortuna but he has a major handicap..

Fortuna is facing Luis Franco next.. watcha think about that fight and who would u favor between Fortuna and Juan Carlos Burgos?

I'm a Burgos guy, but I think Fortuna might have too much for him.

I havent seen much of Franco since he went pro but I would think Fortuna will be too strong and stop him in the mid rounds. Completely on the fence with Burgos. I could see Fortuna getting off to an early lead but Burgos grinding him down in the 2nd half of the fight
