“It’s certain shots that he was just accessible for that til this day I feel like he still hasn’t fixed that flaw fully,” Russell said. “When I move up, when I wipe out that 140 division, I’m moving up to fight catchweight fights and everything. Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, if he’s still at 147, he will be one of them ones. We gonna keep the sport entertaining.
