**** schaefer and gary russell, gary russell sucks he is scared to step up now he wants to step to a guy with 2 pro fights. And anyways i still back lomachenko in this fight, but it seems kind of cowardly to me

Why are they rushing Lomachenko? Who did he upset? He couldn't beat a shot Salido and he didn't look like a world beater. Gary is licking his chops, he's a lot faster than Salido at this time and he can be nasty too. Lomachenko should slow down a little.

Agree with you BiG TiME. TR is setting Loma up to go 1 - 2 if they take this fight IMO. Loma shows no explosiveness, Russell does.

Arum isn't going to let Lomachenko take two losses in a row. My prediction is that he will abandon the pursuit of the WBO title.

I'm with ya on this.

Gary Russell, Jr. hasn't earned his shot at Vasyl Lomachenko.

Gary Russell is ranked #1 by the WBO. If anything it's Lomachenko who hasn't earned a title shot, let alone two title shots in a row.

Loma's CV is already stronger than Russell. Losing to Salido in a solid fight is already better than filling up your cv with TBAs.

I guarantee you that Loma already has more fans. He already has more credibility. Why you think that they're already thinking about offering him Russell?

Arum won't take that fight, mark my words. Not even with a purse bid.

You're probably right. I don't see Arum risking Loma; and I don't think that Russell wants a tough fight.
