Gary Antuanne Russell Expresses Disappointment As Richardson Hitchins Avoids Unification Bout

WBA Light Wellterweight Champion Antuanne Russell Expressed Disappointment Today That IBF Champ Richardson Hitchins has not been interested in Fighting Him in A Unification After Beating George Cambosos Jr. Last Saturday Night. Russell Pointed That Hitchins Four Times in The Amateurs and Holds in His Weight Class, Yet He Was Not Showing Any Fighting Him.

Turki AleShikh Would Be Sport A Solid If He Set Up A Fight Between Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins Next. There Would Be Some Weeding Going Out. We’d See What’s What, Whether Hitchins Is for Real Or A fake.

Hitchins: Business Over Legacy

The Answer Is Obvious. Hitchins (20-0, 8 cos) isn’t interested in Legacy. His career is all about Business, which is Ignored His # 1 Mandatory Opponent, Subriael Matias, and Chose to Fight Cambosos Jr. Last Saturday. The Aussie Came Into The Fight With A 2-3 Record In His Last Five Fights, and One Those Win a Very Questionable Decision Over Maxi Hughes.

The Selection of Cambosos Showed That Hitchins Is Focing On Making Money Fights, and He Wants to Make Sure He Does Get Beaten. Russell Would Be All Wrong for Hitchin. He Can Punch, Be Rugged, And Would Overwhelm Hitchins With His Power.

Hitchins Mentioned Wanting To Fight Well Baney Lopez, But Not Russell (18-1, 17 Kos) Last Saturday Night After Knocking Out The Eighth Round in the Eighth Round At Madison Square Garden New York City.

Boxing’s New Money Focus

Hitchins is the New Kind of Fighters in The Sport Now. The Best Fighting On The On Don’t Focus. They Just Go After Sure-Thing Fights or Look to Cash Out Against Fighters That Have ARREADY Arrived.

Promoter Eddie Hearn Helped Hitchins Into this Spot by Lining Him Up With The Soft Touch Cambosos. The Thanks Heels is Hitchins Announcing His Contract Is Up With Matchroom Last Saturday, And He’s Now A Promotional Free Agent. He’s Hoping For Greener Pastures With Sumebody. It won’t be turki alelshikh, thought.

“When Hitchins Stopped, he was Hurting. He Hit Him with Him Bodyshot, And His Face Changed. The Whole Fight Changed From There,” Said Coach Greg Hackett Tbise About Ricyardson Hitchins’ Win over veteran George Cambosos Last Saturday.

As Big As Hitchins Loked The Ring Last Saturday, It’s Not Surprising That Hurt Hurt The Much Smaller Cambosos. It looked Like A Fight Between A Welterweight and A Small Lightweight. Hitchins Can Simehow Still Make Weight For The 140-LB Division. BUT HE Should Be Fighting at 147. He Doesn’t Possess The Power to Fight at Wellterweight. So, It’s Understandable Why He’s Killing Himself At Stay at Light Wellterweight As Long Aspsible.

Hitchins’ Size at 140

“Hitchins were Already in The Lead, But You Could See That That It’s Ready To Do Damage,” Said Hackett. “With His Size (at 140), you’s 5’10 1/2” Fighting at 140. He’s One’s Giants.

Hitchins Can Overwhelm Lesser Fighters Like Kambosos, But His Chances Of Doing That Against The Elite AT 140 Even Slim. Put Him in Against Russell, Matias, Keyshawn Davis, and Ernesto Mercado, and He Would Likely Be Exposed. That might be the Reason why’s not show an Eagerness to Fight Any Of Them. He looked Good Against Cambosos, But Almost Anyone Would. Cambosos’ Last Opponent, A Little-Known Australian Domestic-Level Fighter, Jake Wylie, Gave Him Fits.

“I Think That Fight is a Great Fight,” Said Greg About A Fight Between Hitchins and Devin Haney. “Neither One of Them is a Big Puncher. Thy’re Both Boxers.
