Top Rank and GBP fighters fight again: Both bid in excess of 1 million

[Mitchell Kane]

I hope Lomachenko puts a bad beating on Gary Russell. Let's wait and see if he (GR) even goes thru with this fight. He might fight (TBA) again.

Boxing game of chicken.

Who expects a training camp "injury"?

Carl Moretti, the Top Rank vice president who represented the company at the bid, told ESPN.com that Lomachenko will participate in the fight.

"Lomachenko will be there 110 percent ready to win the title," Moretti said. "It's two southpaws that should make for a very intriguing fight. We know Lomachenko can go a tough 12 rounds, but we don't know if that's the case with Russell. We were told the fight is June 21 with a site to be determined. Let's hope it's not at the MGM Grand."

Looks like the fight is a go!!!. My GAWD. Can't believe I[m so amped for a fight between two fighters who are basically prospects.


This fight, Canelo/Lara, GGG/Chavez Jr. and Cotto/Martinez. This is going to be one helluva summer. I can't ****in wait.

I will believe it when I see it, well at least for them to be in camp for the fight and the card is set up.

It should be a fun scrap though, I just hope Lomachenko decides to throw more leather this fight

Holy ****, these two are actually fighting?
