Gary hands continue to be a problem for him. You have to land on Salido to slow him down a bit and he can take a good pounding.
I can see Russell not taking this fight

salido would punish him. Fragile hands against salido non-stop pressure and power punching. Bad match for russell jr.Comment

After one fight Lomachenko has a better resume than Russell. Russell will continue to fight TBAs. What a waste of talent.Comment

Too bad for Russell, Lomachenko is already fighting him. Loamachenko has done more already to earn it anyways. What has Russel done to earn anything??
He needs to fight someone with a pulse first.Comment

Lomachenko can still fight Salido. As long as Uncle Bob pays Gary Russell Jr his step aside fee.Comment

OK. So the WBO approved the voluntary defense for January so Lomachenko/Salido is a go.
But the winner has until April to fight Gary Russell:
"If those are the rules, then those are the rules. If the winner of Salido-Lomachenko has to fight Russell, then they'll fight Russell. That's no big deal," said Arum. "If we can't reach an agreement, then we'll go to purse bid. That's what it's designed for. Golden Boy and ourselves have done a number of fights that way, after either we or they won on purse bid."
Schaefer said the same.
"If it can't get done, then it will have to go to purse bid," said Schaefer. "I think that's fantastic and I think that Gary is definitely up to the challenge."
So we could possibly see Russell vs. Lomachenko by April unless he vacates.Comment
