All 6 of his brothers are named 'Gary' after his father. They differentiate by their middle name.

Quote:The Russells are among six brothers named after their father, Gary Russell Sr., four of whom went on to win the National Golden Gloves.

Besides Gary Jr. and Antuanne, who, like most of his brothers, goes by his middle name, Gary Sr. and wife Lawan are also the parents of 25-year-old Gary Allan III, 23-year-old Gary Antonio, 21-year-old Gary Darreke and 15-year-old Gary Isaiah.

While Gary Jr., 28, reigns supreme atop the 126-pound division, Gary Antonio (7-0, 5 KOs) is a rising 118-pound pro prospect, and Gary Allan III won the 2010 Golden Gloves title and now works in Gary Jr.’s corner. There is also 38-year-old half brother Gary Antonio Jones, who went 22-2 with eight KOs as a professional from 1996 to 2011.

I have never been really invested where I get annoyed or upset about another country winning more medals.
I always hope that Australia win gold, but never really emotionally invested into it.

I feel the same way. NZ has always punched above its weight and the Aussie's to do exceptionally well based on their population. can't say i love the Olympics that much anymore and I'm so cynical about drugs I just assume that America have the best PED's when it comes to many events.

When Americans juice, we get busted. The former Soviets, on the other hand, went decades without a false test.

I like thinking that America is the best at everything that we do. But as far as PED's...until recently, the Russians have had that on lock down.

No, Russia doesn't test their athletes out of competition. That means they can just cycle off and peak for international competition. American athletes have to hope USADA gives them a waiver. That or buy their services leading up to a fight so they can use masking agents and flush PEDs from their system

[Spyder]

I tried to get some juice from my Dr claiming that I had low T. Turns out they have a test to see if you really have it. Back to the drawing board

We live in Florida, man. Just go to a pill mill joint.
