Gary Antuanne Russell, the WBA Lightweight Welteight champion, today expressed disappointment that the IBF Richardson Hitchins champion did not show interest in fighting him in unification after defeating Veteran George Cambosos Jr. last Saturday evening. Russell pointed out that he defeated Hitchins four times in amateurs and had a title in his weight class, but he did not show any interest in fighting him.
Turki Alalshikh would have a solid sport if the next fight between Antuanne Russell and Richardson Hitchins. It would take a while. We would see what is it, whether Hitchins is real or bogus.
Hitchins: Business Over Legacy
The answer is obvious. Hitchins (20-0, 8 KO) is not interested in heritage. His career concerns business, which is why he ignored his compulsory opponent No. 1, Subriel Matias and decided to fight Cambosos Jr. last Saturday. Australian has entered the fight with the record of 2-3 in the last five fights, and one of these victories was a very doubtful decision about Maxi Hughes.
The choice of Cambosos has shown that Hitchins focuses on the fight against money and wants to make sure that he will not be beaten. Russell would be incensed with Hitchin. It can hit, be robust and overwhelms Hitchins with his power.
Hitchins mentioned the desire to fight the pretender to the welterweight of Devin Haney and the master WBO Teofimo Lopez, but not Russell (18-1, 17 kos) last Saturday evening after throwing over the overcrowded elderly Cambrian in the eighth round in an unconscious fight in Madison Square Garden in Modern York.
Modern money in boxing
Hitchins is now a up-to-date kind of fighters in sport. They don’t focus on fighting the best. They just go after some fights or are looking for payments against fighters who have already arrived.
Promoter Eddie Hearn helped Hitchins in this place, setting him on a supple touch Cambosos. Thanks for getting, Hitchins announces that his contract is in the match last Saturday, and now he is a promotional free agent. He hopes for more green pastures with someone. However, it will not be Turk Alalshikh.
“When Hitchins stopped him, it was pure pain. He ached. He hit him with the first body and his face changed. The whole fight changed from there,” said coach Greg Hackett on Tbise About the victory of Ricyardson Hitchins over veteran George Cambosos last Saturday.
Although Hitchins looked into the ring last Saturday, it is not surprising that he was hurt by much smaller Cambosos. It looked like a fight between a welterweight and a tiny tiny weight. Hitchins can somehow gain 140 pounds on the weight of the ward. But he should fight at the age of 147. He has no strength to fight in the welterweight. It is understandable why he kills to stay in a lightweight welterweight as long as possible.
Hitchins’ size at 140
“Hitchins was already at the forefront, but at that moment you could see that he was ready to cause damage,” said Hackett. “With its size [at 140]You can do it to the boys. Fight 5’10 1/2 ″ at the age of 140. He is one of the giants aged 140. The kind of punishment that he can impose on guys if he believes in himself. “
Hitchins can overwhelm smaller fighters such as Cambosos, but his chances of doing this against the elite in 140 are tiny. Place him against Russelle, Matias, Keyshawn Davis and Ernesto Mercado, and he will probably be unveiled. This may be the reason why he did not want to fight with any of them. He looked good against Cambosos, but almost everyone would. The last opponent of Cambosos, the little -known Australian national warrior, Jake Wylie, gave him attacks.
“I think a fight is a great fight,” Greg said about the fight between Hitchins and Devin Haney. “None of them is known as a great puncher. They are both boxers. They both have a good height and long shoulders, but the mentality of two thinkers. That night they will be fighters. Get to the point where they will realize:” I can’t think about it now. “
