    For a guy who is "stating nothing but facts" you make a lot of stupid mistakes.

    It won't matter much after Saturday.

    It does matter. You'd think a know-it-all would at least get the basics right

    You know there are two trains of thought around this fight and they can both coexist and be valid at the same time. These threads that devolve into bullshit mud slinging prove in and of themselves just how different this present era is. This place was fun a year ago and now I find myself getting bitter. Its just really hard all of a sudden to find good objective two way communication these days.

    People beat down and throw fighters under the bus prior to the fight and then when their fighter beats the guy they act as if it was the most meaningful fight in decades. Well if the person was so undeserving to begin with then why make such a big deal about it? What people seem to fail to realize is every-time you belittle the opponent of the guy you pick to win, you actually belittle the guy you picked.

    I'm a fan of Russell but that does not mean that I cant at least entertain the other side prior to dismissing it.

    Timing can beat speed. The examples of this are endless. Now look at the globe and where the two poles reside. That is the distance between the style of Salido in comparison to Russell. Lomas style is much more adapt to Russell then Salido.

    Whats crazy here is that the world is judging him on his first fight that was a title challenge against a guy that couldn't make weight and that did his best Stanley Ketchel impression. Russell is a different animal. A pure athletic boxer who has yet to be touched that hangs around the pocket and simply overwhelms the less talented man with speed. That is most likely prime geography for Loma. Gary's chin is getting checked.

    Man the closer this fight gets the more I think Russell might get knocked out. That is an uncomfortable feeling when you are a fan of the guy. I'll be cheering for him but I'm not sure his past group of opponents will have prepared him for the skills he's about to face. This may prove to be a time when Gary's spoon feedings comes back to haunt him. Got a little to used to it. Maybe lost a step or half second but more importantly that raw will. A little lazy mentally. Vasyl's drive after the Salido set back must be through the roof. The worry for him might be over training.

    The heart says Gary puts it all together and uses this for the message to the world fight that he has yet to have had. The brain says his team has been carefully handling him for another reason and that he may have lost other attributes as a fighter because of it. I thought Gary Russell was the next Roy Jones 4 years ago. This is a tough fight to pick. How it ends even tougher. It could literally be a blow out or a controversy on the cards.
