Fair enough mate. I don’t have any interest in seeing him again. Maybe he’d improve with a different trainer though.

[Mexi-Box]

That wasn't one-sided. Showtime commentators are horrific tonight. GRJ almost stopped in the last round. Sorry, knockedown.

[Ruthless-RKO]

WTF, that was a knockdown.

Yep! Diaz done well to the body.

[marvelous marv]

Round 12 Diaz

I have russell winning the fight. 9 rounds to 4

[Ruthless-RKO]

Great last round for Diaz..

Diaz win at least 4 rounds?

[SenorPipino]

Big step up in class tonight for Diaz and he didn't embarrass himself.

Fought well and hard late.

Lack of activity (Russell's fast shots may have something to do with his reluctance) with his hands cost him.

Diaz has a future. Maybe as a champion eventually.

But tonight, Russell 116-112.

[Mexi-Box]

I think LSC beats Russell Jr. now. LSC puts more educated pressure than Diaz.

[IKSRTFO]

Round 12 Diaz

I have russell winning the fight. 9 rounds to 4

They fought 13 rounds?

[marvelous marv]

I would love to see this fight again. In say a year and a half. Diaz could have won. I think he russell a few times. Maybe he wins the rematch.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Russell threw nearly 1000 punches.

[marvelous marv]

Sorry 8 to 4

[Andrew]

I think LSC beats Russell Jr. now. LSC puts more educated pressure than Diaz.

Unfortunately it will never happen

Leo would want astronomical money to take that fight.

And Russell will now disappear of the face of the earth until next summer.

[marvelous marv]

Russell was legit hurt a few times in this fight.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Russell vs. Diaz official scorecards!

Russell saw the scorecard before it was read out haha

115-113
117-111
117-111

And still.. Gary Russell Jr.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Russell was legit hurt a few times in this fight.

Was legit knockdown in round 12 too.

[Mexi-Box]

Hell of a chin on Russell Jr. Not sure what the hell Showtime commentators talking about. Russell Jr.'s performance wasn't what you call great. The rounds were close for the most part, and a knockdown or two wasn't called.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Right.. okay.. I guess we'll see Russell next year now.

[lazboy]

Jacks in the ring! Excited!!

[Andrew]

Diaz clearly lost to the better fighter.

However Diaz did himself no harm what so ever. He will have learnt more in that one fight than all of his other fights combined.

He'll be back at that level again.

As for Russell he's among the most frustrating fighters in the sport. Clearly highly skilled just doesn't fight and doesn't want to be a big star. This sums up most PBC fighters.

Another poster mentioned Leo Santa Cruz. He is in the same catergory. LSC v Russell should have been built to a super fight over the past couple of years but neither fighter is arsed about boxing.

[SenorPipino]

I wonder if Russell's limited activity the past 3 years contributed to his late round fade.

[Mexi-Box]

I used to favor GRJ strongly against LSC, but I think LSC wins that one.

[Ruthless-RKO]

As for Russell he's among the most frustrating fighters in the sport. Clearly highly skilled just doesn't fight and doesn't want to be a big star. This sums up most PBC fighters.

They get for 1 fight what they should be getting for 2 fights

[Ruthless-RKO]

Mayweather always looking like a slick mother when he'a promoting. Lol

[Ruthless-RKO]

Man forget these national anthems. Time wasters.

[lazboy]

Will that cushioning beard help Jack?
