This whole Lomachenko thing has sadly turned into such a joke.

Lot of Russell hate..........

I don't feel good about this....TBA has a family to feed.

One of the best amatour fighters of all time might be 1-2 after this fight. What ae they doing?

Proving your record is secondary to the the fighters you fight, the later is what makes you great not the former.

Too many WWE fans in boxing right now that don't understand that.

That would be good fight actually, but I don't see it happening due to rival promoters.

Who is Lomachenko's promoter Vince McMahon?

i am here to tell you that i am willing to bet all of my points on russell if this fight is actually made (I've been studying lomachenko since his fights in wsb) I honestly don't think the fight will be competitive at all..........i think salido would give russell a tougher fight vs lomachenko. lomachenko fights too much like an amateur to be competitive with russell......thats the perfect style match to destroy him as a fighter. (make a sticky of this comment because i will certainly put up my bets)

My thoughts exactly. Loma's style doesn't translate well in the pro's, hasn't showed any explosive speed or power. 6 wsb bouts with not one stoppage. So much hype on this kid and mostly well deserved because of the gold medals... But man, he's lacking in the wow factor department. Boring as hell against Salido. Studying both Loma and GRJ's pro fights I also have to say Loma gets smoked.

Russell shouldn't take the fight for the mere fact that this Loma peice of crap hasn't earned it. Loma needs to get in line and rack up some impressive wins to earn a legitimate shot at a world title. Real fans and those who love the sport would not be in favor of this blantant disrespect of the sweet science. This is why Salido did what he did to send a message to these greedy, slimy and corrupted sanctioning bodies and promoters.

So any news on this? going to purse bid right?

He deserves every bit of it. He's an over-hyped fraudulent fighter who has made a career out of beating sparring partners. Lomachenko has done more in his two fights than Russell has done in his entire professional career.

If Russell doesn't take this fight, it's time for him to go back to the ****** for a career change. I don't believe Russell has the stones for this challenge.
