nothing that says last minute replacement breh...receipts on TBA = last minute replacement for the new human highlight film


TBA's are not only last minute replacements:sas1:


TBA's are also jobbers, bums, part-time given less than 4-5 weeks to make weight AND train for a fight:mjpls:


Gary Russell Jr doesn't have any "last minute replacements", because he's never set up to fight anyone who eventually backs out. His 1st choice for opponent is always the TBA opponent....which is why he took a TBA over your boy Ponce De Leon:heh:




Russell Jr. has been harshly criticized for not stepping up his competition level over the past few years. He seems stuck in neautral, feasting on tomato cans and the dreaded TBA.

WBO orders a fight between Gary Russell Jr. and Vasyl Lomachenko


Russell stood toe to toe with tomato cans and TBA’s for the first 24 fights of his career until he fought Vasyl Lomachenko back in June 2014 for the vacant WBO belt.
What’s Next for Gary Russell Jr.?


Just one fight after the loss he was handed another title shot against WBC champion Jhonny Gonzalez. Nobody knew just how Russell would respond after the loss to Lomanchenko. In fact, nobody really knew what Russell was really made of. He hadn’t had enough competition, since most of his fights were against TBA opponents until a month before his fights.
Mr. Gary Russell Jr: The New WBC Featherweight Champion


^^^^More articles which highlight the over-usage of TBA in Gary Russell Jr's career.....which is part of the PBC Practice that has built him into a Champion:sas2:



If Berto is the mascot for being overpaid by PBC, then GRJ is the mascot for doing nothing but wait around to be paid to do nothing but fight no-hopers:wow:

second a true last minute replacement would fukk up a fighter's game plan and training...there is plenty of risk of being beat by a last minute replacement..hell i just referenced ricardo williams in that andre berto getting paid thread...the cat he lost his zero to was a replacement opponent breh..im sure i can think of plenty last minute replacement opponents upsetting the plans

hmmmm but he was on the down..

He was....but I didn't think he was down enough to lose to Aron Martinez:heh:


If not Devon Alexander though, I'd probably have to put Imam there breh....and that's being honest. He was hyped up heavily, people backed him over Swift and Broner, and then he turns around & loses to to a jobber:wow:

I don't keep up with Turbo Fists breh.....all I know is, it's usually a headline that says: "Gary Russell Jr vs TBA, date to be determined" and then about 3-4 weeks before the fight a name is finally placed infront of TBA.



Don't be acting like Gary Russell Jr isn't the TBA King breh:ufdup::heh:
Yes he is. nikka Pat better go head with that. Don't forget him getting on HBO with 8 rounders. Don't get me started with aka t Rex arms aka fast for no reason aka Puffy jr, Porter jr. aka Arms to short to Box with God's aka Pad work boxing aka a short sleeve shirt becomes a long sleeve on me:heh:

Tony Harrison?? Dude had about a hunnid amateur fights but I seen from the beginning that kid was full of struggle.

Tony Harrison didn't have the same amateur pedigree or hype as Imam. He also lost to a much tougher opponent too.

Tony Harrison isn't that good though. I think he's gonna be a C fighter at best at Junior Middleweight.
