Gary Antuanne Russell expresses his disappointment as Richardson Hitchins prevents the combination of unification

The WBA Light Welterweight champion, Gary Antuanne Russell, today said that IBF champion, Richardson Hitchins, has shown no interest in fighting it in a unification after beating veteran George Kamboses Jr. Last Saturday night. Russell said he had broken Hitchins four times in the fans and has a title in his weight class, but he was not showing any interest in fighting him.

Turki Alralhikh would do this sport a solid if he set a fight between Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins below. There would be a little weed. We would see what it is, if Hitchins is real or fake.

Hitchins: Business Over Legacy

The answer is obvious. Hitchins (20-0, 8 kos) is not interested in the legacy. His career deals with business, so he ignored his mandatory opponent number 1, Subriael Matias, and chose to fight Kambosa Jr. Last Saturday. Aussie came to the fight with a 2-3 record in its last five fights, and one of these victories was a very debatable decision on Maxi Hughes.

Kambosa selection showed that Hitchins is focused on earning money and wants to ensure that he does not hit. Russell would be wrong for Hitchin. It can puncture, be rough and overwhelmed the Hitchins with their power.

Hitchins mentioned that he wants to fight the heavyweight contestant, Devin Haney and Wbo champion, Teophimo Lopez, but not Russell (18-1, 17 kos) last Saturday night after removing the old-fashioned kamboses in the eighth round in a non-competitive struggle at Madison Square Garden in New York.

As you can lose a 4x boy in the amateurs that we both have belts in the same division, and yet you will not even want to fight me. Boxing is soft for real. I will fight anyone as long as they make sense or legacy

The new boxing of boxing money

Hitchins is the new type of sport fighters now. They do not focus on fighting better. They only go after struggles of anything security or seek money against the fighters who have already arrived.

Promoter Eddie Hearn helped Hitchins on this place, aligning it with the soft kambosa touch. The thanks he obtains is Hitchins that he announces that his contract was on Matchroom last Saturday, and is now a free promotional agent. He waits for greener pastures with someone. It will not be Turki Alralikh, though.

“When Hitchers detained him, it was pure pain. He was hurt. He hit him with this first body and his face changed. The whole fight changed from there,” said coach Greg Hackett to Deposit About the victory of Sryardson Hitchins on veteran George Kamboses last Saturday.

As big as Hitchins looked inside the ring last Saturday, it is not uncommon for much smaller kambos to hurt. It looked like a struggle between a heavy weight and a small light. Hitchins may somehow still have weight for the 140 lb division. But he should fight at 147. He does not have the power to fight heavy weight. Therefore, it is understandable why it is killing to keep the weight of light for as long as possible.

Hitch size at 140

“Hitchins was already at the helm, but at that time you could see that he was willing to hurt,” Hackett said. “With its size (at 140), you can do it to the boys. It has 5’10 1/2” fighting at 140. It is one of the giants at the age of 140. This is the type of punishment that can boys put if he believes in himself. “”

Hitchins can overflow minor fighters like Kamboses, but their chances of doing it against the elite in 140 is scarce. Put it against Russell, Matias, Keyshawn Davis and Ernesto Mercado, and would probably be exposed. This may be the reason why he has not been eager to fight against any. He looked well against Kambos, but almost anyone would. Kambosa’s last opponent, a little well -known Australian fighter at the domestic level, Jake Wylie, gave him adjustments.

“I think the struggle is a great struggle,” Greg said about a struggle between Hitchins and Devin Haney. “None of them is known as a great punch. Both are boxers. Both have a good height and long arms, but the mentality of the two thinkers. That night, they will be fighters. They will reach the point where they will notice:” I cannot stand it right now. “
