WBC featherweight champion Garry Russell Jr. has called out WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford in a video posted on Instagram. “I will f**k Terence Crawford up!” proclaimed Russell. “As a matter of fact, just to let you know how serious I am, I was on the phone with Al (Haymon) a couple of days ago and we’re in negotiations right now to the fans who don’t know. We definitely reached out to Bud and we’re just waiting back for a response. This sh*t is going down on my end baby!
As for Vasyl Lomachenko, who handed Russell his only loss, Russell stated, “Everybody’s talking about Lomachenko. Lomachenko’s punk ass don’t wanna see me!”
kinda hard to believe , russell will get knocked out, so I really want to see if this fight happens, I dont think he knows what hes getting himself into
This is personal
He talks a lot of $h!t for somebody who fights once a year.
Talks alot of shit for a guy that fights a lower end top 20 guy, once a year.
C’mon Gary you KNOW you lookin to cash out here, Loma will play with you an Bud will punish you till he decides to KYTFO. Perhaps if you became more active people would remember who TF you are, as it stands it’s only hardcore fans.
Fuck active. Fight a decent opponent when you actually decide to fight. This guy has 3 decent names on show resume and one is an L from Loma and the other is a solid JoJo Diaz and an old Gonzalez.
Waste of talent and a waste of a career.
funny thing is Gary didnt call out Berchelt, Stevenson, Tank Davis, Santa Cruz, Teaflimo or especially Loma but yet says he wants Crawford GTFO Russell
Exactly. Fuck him and him wasting boxing fans time and holding a be!t hostage. I hope he fights Lopez and gets paid out in round 1 and we never hear from him again.
GTFO means To Get The Fuck Out.
This guy has fought 2 top ten fighters in the last 6 years and now he wants to call out a guy 4 weight classes above him? I’m getting tired of this part time fighters padding their records and wasting fans time fighting bum after bum and then call out a guy way bigger juts for a payday.
Fuck off. I used to be a fan. Now I hope he gets knocked out by the next “keep busy” opponent he fights.
This fight will not happen and, instead, Russell will pop up early next year, fight his mandatory against whoever wins between Nyambayar and Ramirez, and go back to….. doing whatever he does for the rest of the year.
This will happen over and over again until he either loses again or retires. There is absolutely no reason to suggest otherwise. If he does not fight again this year (and he almost surely will not), it will mark the sixth consecutive year where he has had only one fight.
For some odd reason(s), little dogs love talking trash to big dogs. Suddenly, when the big dog uses a big paw to tap the little dog, the little dog runs off screaming “murder” and creating high drama. Poor little Russell trying to talk trash to big Crawford in a high voice (wuff wuff). I know Crawford is laughing his A*S OFF!!
Russell is delusional. Loma schooled him once he will do so again. As for Crawford give me a break this would be murder in the first degree.
Russell you are fooling no one but yourself…
That’s funny. Gary Russell should try being a 135 lbs fighter, not call out Crawford. Crawford should try to work with Golden Boy to get that WBO title fight at 154. Arum will do nothing for Crawford. If Arum can’t get Crawford the winner of Horn and Tszyu at 154 in Australia, then Crawford should shop with ask Arum to team up with Golden Boy to make a dual promotion fight with that guy from Brazil, Teixeira. Crawford could fight Teixeira and Brook back to back at 154, and make a lot of money fighting Brook in the UK in 2021. Wasting time waiting for Arum to make a big 147 lbs fight, Spence is damaged goods, wasting time chasing other Haymon fighters.
Wow Russell is always talking up a fight that never materializes. Called out LSC that never went anywhere. GRJ fights maybe once a year and half and beats a nobody and makes noise that continues to fall on deaf ears after so many unfulfilled promises. Whether he’s plagued by injuries or whatever have you Russell needs to just retire and help manage his brothers careers.
I don’t know how much crack Mr. Delusional smokes, but there is no way he is going to fight Bud, and, Loma would knock Mr. Twerp out in the rematch.
Gary, get it together. Fight real fights. Stop being a punk.
Big Mouth for a little man. Is amazing how some of these fighter can’t seem to remain humble instead shoot their mouth off. Loma beat him with “EASE”, now imagine with what punch (right or left) and how fast does Crawford choose to put him to sleep.
Good luck Gary Russell, hope this knock out don’t add any more brain damage than what you received when Loma beat you.
Just to get his name heard, but no one cares about hi,. We all know he wants no part of Crawford or Loma.
Is this even possible? Crawford is three divisions heavier than Russell and Russell doesn’t really look like he has the frame to carry that much weight, but hey, I would have said the same thing about Pacquiao. I saw Russell fight as an amateur and thought he was going to be a major star in boxing. Although he is a world champion, his career has been kind of dissapointing thus far.
Lol Gary Russell jr
Ummm, somebody GRJ some smelling salts. He’s having bad day dreams again.
If it comes to fruition…then it’ll be the replay of Loma v Rigo
FYI, Russell got his ass beat by LOMA. The fight was not as close as the judges saw it. Not by a landslide. Loma really did a number on Russell that night.
Keep in mind, that Loma was 1-1. Russell was 24-0. It does not get any more embarrasing than that.
Big mouth fights once a year, if that-and is always flattering himself claiming no one wants to fight him bla bla bla. He calls Crawford out cause he knows it will never happen. Lomachenko kicked his ass no problem and now he claims Loma is a punk? Lol he reminds me of a chihuahua constant barking taking little nips at the mailman’s feet until the mail man has enough and stomps his feet lil chihuahua runs away crying until mail man turns his back and again barking up a storm. Yep that’s Garry ‘little man’ Russell.
Are there no Haymon fighters Russell can fight? Seems that this is an example of a fighter calling out another , safe in the knowledge of there being very little chance of it happening. Presumably to bolster his profile etc?
Haha Mr Russell Jr was hitting air against Lomachenko. Lomachenko made him look shit and now he thinks Loma is avoiding HIM… HAHA
Gary’s hand speed is very impressive when he is on his “A” game. However, Gary tends to literally walk in and even hold his opponent from time-to-time with his head is straight up and it says on the forehead “Hit me”. Crawford would take advantage of this flaw right away and break Gary down. Easy fight to predict. I agree with some of you in this thread that Gary is doing nothing more than making himself marketable talking smack to cash-in on some retirement money. Gary should have a few good tough fights and then make himself worthy of a great super match up for marketable reasons and people would respect him more due to his inactivity in fighting.
Russel is desperate. Punk Ass Loma schooled him.
I think Russell should call Spence instead, if this delusional is talking seriously. Crawford is with Top Rank, Spence and Russell are with Haymon, furthermore, easier to make.
There is no need for Loma to see him again. That fight wasn’t close. GRJ needs to see the guy who controls his career and ask him why he can’t line up a suitable opponent. Haymon controls a lot of fighters in and around his weight class.
TC can’t afford to take this fight. I know he has a mean streak and Gary certainly deserves his beating, but this matchup is a no win situation. It feels like Mikey Garcia vs Spence all over again, except Russell is much smaller. Ridiculous to even talk about it when both men have better matchups available.
TC should take a tune up and hopefully Spence looks himself vs Garcia…after that there is only 1 fight to be made at Welterweight!
If Lomanchenko is a punk, and he beat you….what does that make you??????
Talk is good, Bud is going to dominate us little ass!
Interesting how frustrated we all are with Russell. Thought it was just me. Disappointing that he has wasted his prime years the way he has.
Gary Russell is a guy who should have been a star AGES ago. He came up with Adrien Broner and he’s still in the same position. I can’t blame him he’s just looking for high prized fights. I don’t see him beating Loma or BUD.
Russell is still resentful about the way Lomachenko took him to school. Now he talking about facing the top welterweight in the world. The guy is losing it. He hasn’t fought anybody since facing Vasily at 126 lb. and now he is gonna take the best 147 lb. Go get your head check by a good psicho Therapist, Champ. Al Haymon is gonna let him fight because he is probably losing money with Gary, who only fights one every two years. He doesn’t care if he gets dstroyed. As long as his welterweight like; Thurman Garcia, Porter, and Spence, are kept away from Crawford, Haymon is very Happy.
