Pedraza muy linitado ante voluntarioso rival.No tiene futuro amte los mejotes de la divicion.
Russel resolvio muy rapido y bien a este ignoto rival.
Muy buena velocidad y fuerza en sus dos manos.
Muy vigente.
Saludos
Good showing from Russel. Still 1 of my favorite USA boxers.
And shows just why people don’t want to fight Lomachenko.
Lomachenko made it look easy. Im fine with a rematch between the 2. To bad Lomachenko is having to move up to get fights.
Maybe we get to see Russell vs Cruz.
