Wow. I saw him fight for the first time last night and I was blown away by how talented he is. If there's fighters like him coming through then boxing is in a good place if u ask me. He's surely a future star of the sport.

Pleased to make your acquaintance
Yeah, I was talking about him with friends yesterday and kept calling him Gary Stark Jr.
It took me a while to figure out why they were snickering.
I think its time for him to step up. 17 pro fights and a lot of amateur experience. Maybe a FNF main event against a solid guy, or even a boxing after dark co-feature. I'm not sure who, maybe somebody like Miguel Roman.
First time I'd seen him last night and I was very impressed. I did think the opponent was made to measure for him though. An aggressive guy who stood right in front of him, but had absolutely no power in his punches. Easy to look good against someone like that if you have Russell's talent.
He clearly needs to step up. I'd like to see how he handles himself against a more elusive boxer who fights off the back foot. Last night Russell could just stand there flat footed and tee off on the guy. It would be interesting to see if he can put the same kind of powerful precision combination punches together against someone he has to chase down.
Definitely one to watch though - some of his combinations were amazing.
