So how did you score it? I want to see round by round scorecards, if you ain't got it, don't bother posting.
I think the fight was very, very close, with Russell winning rounds on activity alone when it looked like Lomachenko just didn't want to do anything but he came back strong in the second half of the fight and imo edged by a single solitary point. Here's my card:
Round 1: 10-9 Lomachenko, not much in it but Loma landed the better punches
Round 2: 10-9 Russell, activity wins him the round with Loma responding only sporadically
Round 3: 10-9 Russell
Round 4: 10-9 Russell
Round 5: 10-9 Lomachenko, finally starts doing some of his own work, he can't match Russell's activity but his punches are harder and more accurate
Round 6: 10-9 Russell, this round pretty much represents the entire fight, did you like Russell's activity and constant pressure or Loma's bigger but far fewer shots?
Round 7: 10-9 Lomachenko, Russell drops in activity and gets caught often
Round 8: 10-10 Neither fighter does much to write home about
Round 9: 10-9 Russell, barely edges it in my opinion with a fast, active start but Loma finishes well
Round 10: 10-9 Lomachenko
Round 11: 10-9 Lomachenko
Round 12: 10-9 Lomachenko, the last 3 rounds are all Loma, Russell looks tired and hurt, activity levels drops and Loma really starts pounding on him. He really is a great finisher of fights.
115/114 Lomachenko
so this week we are paying attention to solid connects and ignoring feather slap punches? algeri you picked the right week!
except algieri landed shots that snapped Ruslan's head back like a bobblehead
but you conveniently ignore that to suit your biased agenda
go away, adults are talking

wow your scorecards as bad as lisa giampa you both had the first 4 rounds for russell what a joke!
so this week we are paying attention to solid connects and ignoring feather slap punches? algeri you picked the right week!
It seems that way...
Russel doesn't half throw punches very fast, could hardly tell what was landing looked like they were merely bouncing off the guard which turns out to be the case.
Lomo won 10 rounds plain and simple you can not score fights based on shoe shine arm punches that do not land.
If you know how to score a fight taking all criteria including ring generalship-defense-clean effective punching.
This was a lesson inflicted on Russell it was not close at all.
Lomachenko clearly won rounds 1,5,7, 10,11 and 12. That's 6 in the bank already.
I gave Gary rounds 4 and 8. But those were not clear cut rounds. I gave the rest to Lomachenko. Although even if I split the other 4 'close' rounds, Lomachenko still wins the fight 8-4.
I had it 10-2. At worst 8-4 for Lomachenko. It was a beautiful performance.
I wasnt sober enough to bother with a scorecard, but I was REALLY suprised by how in-control Lomachenko was.
Honestly, I was expecting Russell to give him a lot of problems, but Lomachenko was the one troubling Russell. I think Lomachenko was too big of a step up from the guys Russell had been fighting; he looked really bothered in there from round one on, he had no confidence.
Didn't really write anything down so I'll try my best to remember.
Lomachenko 117-111
Rounds 1,2,3,4,5,6,10,11,12
Other than round 6 (which I think Lomachenko still edged the round)they were all clear and definitive rounds for Loma IMO. A lot of flashy combos from Russell with nothing on them completely missing their target or being blocked. Loma showed great ring generalship and accurate punching. Foot movement, defense, and body punching was off the charts.
Rounds 7,8,9
I felt like Lomachenko completely took these rounds off and even if Russell didn't land anything significant these rounds could've gone in his favor simply out of aggression even if there was no effectiveness.
