Gary Anchanne Russell expresses disappointment as Richardson Hitchens avoids a unified match

WBA light welterweight champion Gary Anchanne Russell has disappointed today that IBF champion Richardson Hitchens has shown no interest in fighting him in unity after beating veteran George Cambosos Jr. last Saturday night. Russell pointed out that he beat Hitchens four times amateur, holding the title in the weight class, but showed no interest in fighting him.

Turki Aralschuk is solid in the sport next when he sets up a fight between Anchanne Russell and Richardson Hitchens. There will be some weeding. Whether the Hitchens is real, fake.

Hitchens: Business around Legacy

The answer is clear. Hitchens (20-0, 8 Kos) is not interested in legacy. Because his career is all about business, this is why he ignored his first mandatory opponent, Subriael Matias, and chose to fight Kambosos Jr. last Saturday. The Australian took part in the fight with a 2-3 record in his final five fights. One of those wins was a highly questionable decision against Maxi Hughes.

Cambosus’ choice shows that Hitchens is focused on fighting money, and he wants to ensure he is not beaten. Russell would be all wrong for Hitchin. He punches, becomes sturdy and overwhelms Hitchens with his strength.

Hitchens said he wanted to fight welterweight candidate Devin Haney and WBO champion Teofimo Lopez, but last Saturday night, Russell (18-1, 17 KO) knocked out the old-fashioned Cambosos, who was overmatched in the eighth round in an uncompetitive fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

How can a man in an amateur lose 4x to me We both have belts in the same division, but you don’t even want to fight me.

Boxing’s new money focus

The Hitchens are a new kind of fighter jets in the sport now. They don’t focus on the best fights. They simply chase a surefire battle or cash out against fighters that have already arrived.

Promoter Eddie Hearn helped Hitchens get into this place by lining up with soft-touch Cambosos. The thanks he received was that the Hitchens announced he had signed a Matchroom contract last Saturday, and he is now a promotional free agent. He wants someone and environmentally friendly meadows. But it’s not Turki Aralsiv.

“When Hitchens stopped him, it was pure pain. He was hurt. He smacked him with that first body shot and his face changed. tbise On Richardsson Hitchens’ victory over veteran George Cambosos last Saturday.

It’s no surprise that he was hurting much smaller Cambosos as much as Hitchens looked inside the ring last Saturday. It looked like a small lightweight battle with welterweight. The Hitchens can somehow make weight into the 140 pound division. But he should fight at 147. He doesn’t have the strength to fight at welterweight. So it’s understandable why he commits suicide to stay at light welterweight as long as possible.

Hitchens size 140

“Hitchins was already on the lead, but at that point we knew he was ready to do damage,” Hackett said. “In his size (140), you can do it to a guy. He’s fighting 5’10 1/2 at 140.” He is one of the 140-year-old giants. It’s the type of punishment he can put on a man if he believes in him. ”

The Hitchens can overwhelm fewer fighters like Cambosos, but there is a slight chance that they will do that against the elite at the 140. Put him against Russell, Matthias, Keyshaun Davis and Ernesto Mercado, and he will likely be exposed. That may be why he doesn’t show any enthusiasm to fight against any of them. He looked good against Cambosos, but almost everyone does. Cambossos’ last opponent, Jake Wiley, a little-known Australian domestic level fighter, gave him a fit.

“I think that fight is a great fight,” Greg said of the fight between Hitchens and Devin Haney. “Neither is known as the big punchers. They are both boxers. They both have heights and long arms, but their mentality is a thinker. On the night they become fighters.
