Wait a minute.... so Maidana deserves a rematch with Floyd... but Garry Russel Jr....

[Khasekhemwy]

But Gary Russel Jr doesn't deserve a rematch with Loma? That was a very close fight in my estimation.. I could deal with 7-5 either way or a draw... I ain't going to lie the kid Lomachenko can fight... but I thought it was highly competitive.

Why no talk of a rematch? If Maidana deserved a rematch with Floyd surely Russel Jr deserved one with Loma...

[Slick Veteran]

Yeah it definitely was a close fight.. I will want to see a rematch because who else is there in that division to fight?

[soul_survivor]

I'm with you that it was a close fight and it's a good rematch but Maidana genuinely shocked the world by actually making his bout closer than anyone could have EVER thought. Plus, personally, I'm not a big fan of the rematch but Floyd had nowhere else to go so he had to fight Maidana.

[Derranged]

That's funny because I wasn't aware GRJ even wanted a rematch or that the public wanted to see one. I personally wouldn't be interested in one.

Second, the fight was a clear win for Loma.

[daggum]

no. it wasn't close at all.

[LA_2_Vegas]

I doubt he wants a rematch

[slimshandy69]

lomachenko gary russell a close fight????

Gary russell labded 12 percent of his punches in a 12 round fight, he got out landed over 3-1, and all the power shots were coming from lomachenko.

What fights were you guys watching???

I thought it a clear win for Lomachenko. I had Mayweather 7-5 against Maidana and could see 114-114 as a logical scorecard, I think personally a rematch is more warranted there than the Loma fight.

[Foreign Soil]

Loma-Russell wasn't close in any way. Russell won 3 rounds at best and 2 of those was simply due to Loma taking the rounds off. Floyd, on the other hand, got bullied and that fight could've been a legit draw.

Plus, why is this race baiter still allowed to post threads? Mods are quite inconsistent.

[Cuban Linx]

no. it wasn't close at all.

DAT HANDSPEED DOE

At the very least it was 8-4 for Loma, and that's being generous.

I had it 9-3. Not competitive, one-sided, and a schooling all the way.
