    GRJ is the one who needs closure. I think Loma is fine with how things stand

      This guy really messed up his whole career. He could had been the next big thing but never wanted to fight twice or three times a year. Now on his decline he wants to fight ? Money issues most likely. I hope his brother does better.

        Absolutely.

        GRJ has had years to look for a rematch, too late now. Let it go!

          This might bring up a good idea. Loma should train some dudes if he doesn't want to fight. Pass on some of those skills to younger fighters who will put them to longer use in their pro careers.

          Like a Ukrainian Emmanuel Steward and Kronk Gym.

          We've already seen other fighters, here and there, dabbling with some of his techniques in the ring. You see a good step around or something and it's a reflection of that Matrix movement.

          It's like when you see guys with low guard moving like Jones Jr. Not jusy any low guard, but you recognize it when you see it. You know they watched the tapes.

            Why? it’s not like their first fight was particularly close.

              Focus on helping Antuanne navigate the game! Do it before he gets completely frozen out of big fights.

              He needs to understand that he won't get the Fury treatment, no $ will be thrown there way to make this happen on a Riyadh Season card. World and boxing politics..

                Gary Russell Jr had opportunities at his feet at one point, but he wasted it all messing about fighting once every 6 years. He is not a name, he could have been, but he isn't, only hardcore boxing fans know who he is, so there is no money in him fighting Lomachenko. Someone like Fury could come back in 3 years time and make a fortune, cause he went out to make himself a name and a personality in boxing, another reason why Crawford is little known, he has the personality and profile of a cheap loaf of bread. Some boxers just don't realise that making money is about making yourself a product, Floyd Mayweather Jr was a master of this as well, like Fury. Nash out - His Majesty

                    I use to think Gary was an up a coming star however he with and due to his own personal arrogance squandered his whole career now he thinks at 37 he’s about to get paid! Perhaps beat badly by much less talent too, it’s just your old news and not even worth seeing or any value at this point so keep working corners you from B’more y'all use to it.
