Loma vs Russell next week

[IamInuit]

It's a fucking disgrace that Russell is going into his 25th fight and the 1-1 fighter he's about to face is actually a significant step up from his previous garbage opposition.

I agree in substance but Russell had nothing to do with choosing this fight.

Gary has been a let down for me and I thought he was going to blast away and was one of the fools that likened him to Roy. Total under achiever thus far and I really do think that he has a chin problem. Loma had no idea how to deal with Salido's pressure and appeared to be looking for the points clock a few times. I'm looking at Gary to win this impressively but wont be surprised to see him get clocked by a counter. This fight suits Loma a lot more then Salido. I think Gary's speed will be to much. I'm looking forward to it.

This should be a competitive fight, unless Russell is just too damn fast for him.


I used to confuse Gary Russell Jr. with Gary Stark Jr. first couple times I saw them as they started around the same time as prospects.


Stark Jr. stepped up his competition and lost then retired.


Russell was def more talented, but never stepped up his and is still undefeated.

Russell can't step it up if nobody will fight him...he's been begging for the top guys.
Jhonny Gonzalez and others wanted no parts.

Arum has really lost his touch..

Putting Lomenchenko in with Russell is the worst move there is to make..

Bob must have taken a life insurance policy out on Lomo...somebody should check up on that.

Russell was offered a fight with DeLeon. Which he refused. And he was offered a chanced to go to Mexico to fight Gonzalez. Which he never responded too.

Russell has been matched extremely soft to hide a flaw he has. The Lomenchenko fight was almost forced on them due to the title being vacant. If not they wouldn't be fighting him. It's hilarious hearing Russell talk up his pro experience over Lomenchenko like if it actually matters. Lomenchenko has only 2 fights. And he's already fought for a world title. Faced a bigger fighter. Faced adversity. And he's gone 12 rounds. He's already more experienced than Russell

Going 12 with Salido in his second pro fight should count double.

His balls have probably shrunk back to their original size by now.

On this side of the border

25 pro fights is more experience than 2 pro fights...

Russell has more PRO experience than Lomenchenko.

I can't wait to hear your excuses when Russell mercy kills this guy

After beating Mares, Gonzalez said he was making his first defense in Mexico. Didn't matter the opponent. Instead of accepting, Russell made a bogus counter offer that he knew was gonna get rejected. It was pretty hilarious considering Russell has no say. Gonzalez is the champion and only about 17 people even know who Russell is.

2 fights is all it took for Lomenchenko to surpass the level of competition Russell has faced

[Silkeyjoe]

Its a very interesting fight. Loma was unlucky against Salido. I had it a draw but Salido should have had a point taken off him. He also had a huge size advantage and Loma got a lot better as the fight went on.

Russell Jrs an interesting fighter, he has bags of talent but has been moved very slowly, which always raises questions. Loma is the complete opposite being moved very quickly. From what Ive seen so far I think the top 5 in this division beat both these fighters and this is probably the best option for both. Im predicting Loma wins a UD in a competitive fight.

[cyclone]

Violent demise.

Your boy ducked Russell...

2 shot fighters doesn't equal 25 pro fights....not on this side of the border.

Russell has more PRO experience than Lomo.

[Maravilla2012]

I think Russell never stepped up cause he's hiding a china chin.

[VG_Addict]

You know what's sad? Lomachenko has only had 2 pro fights, and he's already fought better opposition than Russell.

[La Cucaracha]

Although Lomachenko only has two pro fights, you could also add the experience of the WSB fights fighting Salido gave Loma more experience than fighting all of Russell's opponents put together totally shot Pastrana and Ruiz well above their best weights does not come close to what Lomachenko would have learned against a heavier, veteran in Saildo

Sad is your expression when Lomo gets rudely face-planted.

What's sad is the same guys that dog Russell's resume are GG fans....now THAT is sad.
At least Russell isn't 32 years old.

Cotto has only ONE fight at MW and he has a better resume than that clown.

Well hell, you are going to be eating a bucket of crow.
I'm thinking Russell isn't that good but he isn't that bad either. It turned out that Lomenchenko does have impressive talent and stupid old Bob hasn't lost that magic yet.
