[..David..]

Wow i was not expecting this ...

I would be really surprised if it gets made.

Opinions ? Predictions ?

I am going with Mr.Gary on this one, i been expecting Russell to start fightin in the big leagues for a long time by now. The guy has serious skills.

I think they are going to have Lomachenko decline this fight.

Two losses in a row would set back his career too much, and Russell is a huge threat to hand him his second defeat. He's too slick and too fast for the inexperienced Loma at this point in time.

Loma needs to humble himself and start fighting a few lower level contenders. He needs to rack up a good 10-15 wins to restore his confidence. Remember this guy hadn't lost in like 10 years or something, it must have destroyed him mentally. He really thought he was the best fighter alive. Now he has to reassess his whole life.
