I like Jose he's got good fundamentals with power

Hoping Valenzuela can walk the walk, and that he stays smart and not lose his cool like he did against De los Santos.

He ain't wrong. He's most likely talking about Russell skill-wise, but as for opportunity, Russell lost his last fight. Putting aside that star attractions get a pass bc they bring in money, no fighter has any business being in a title fight after losing their last fight.

Not disagreeing about a fighter getting a title shot after losing to somebody ELSE, but what about immediate rematches in title fights? For example, I don't hear any griping about Bivol going straight to a rematch with Beterbiev.
Just saying.

I totally agree, once you got your ass kicked it’s always a rebuilding stage not a dammmm title shot!
