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

Although Lomachenko only has two pro fights, you could also add the experience of the WSB fightsfighting 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

Cold Heart and a Weak Mind
I ain't dogging Russell. I'm just stating straight facts. He's fought nothing but scrubs and you know it. You keep saying no one wants to fight him. But you're doing it halfheartedly. Cuz you know it's bullshit. He's a 5'4 short arm midget with a 58% knock out rate. Nobody is avoiding him
I like Golovtkin. His resume is better than Russell. But that ain't saying shit. Overall Golovtkin resume is very weak. And I been saying that for awhile.
A mexican should not be calling people midgets.
Russell is 5'4 but his reach is only 2 inches shorter than Golovkins.
GG is older than Russell and still hasn't done shit...but you like Golovkin for some reason.
The only threat for Russell is Nicholas Walters...everybody else is getting trounced.
Lomachenko's style reminds me of Amir Khan. At least he's going to be able to fight his style in this fight without getting mauled on the inside and punched in the balls every ten seconds. I think this fight will be a chess match with Russell protecting his chin and Lomachenko coming in, throwing a combination and getting out. It could look a lot like an amateur fight. I hope I'm wrong.
It was dubbed a "coin-flip" fight in an article on SweetScience.
Russell may have more pro experience -albeit against "scrubs"- but I don't think he's likely to rough him up to any degree like Salido did lol, so I've got Loma on this one (60% prob.).
I'm looking forward to it almost as much as Crawford vs Gamboa! Some interesting fights this month![]()
Gary Russell has a 61' inch reach to Golovkin's 70' inch reach; big difference. The same can be said of their resume's; all you have to do is look at their KO percentages and one can understand why many boxing fans hold GGG with higher esteem. Gary Russell is a chinless knockout waiting to happen as soon as he steps up and fights someone who's skilled enough to use angles and set up. Lomachenko will be fine as long as he doesn't linger long enough on the side to get cut up by Russell's razor sharp T-rex arms.
