Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Manager: We're Ready For Gary Russell

[MDPopescu]

Lot of people seem to forget that Loma was fighting a welterweight that night.

You see? The guy is still confused... Why didn't he fight a middleweight?

... And do you think this Russell is a joke of some sort? Watch him fight...

2nd loss in a row coming up for this "Ukrainian killer."

You too. Agreed - however, GRJ will have to also show a lot more than he has with his TBA streak.

Russell is going to mess Loma up in there and the win over Loma will erase the long list of TBA's in his past.

Russell is moving up from TBA so it should be an interesting fight

however

lomachenko's already lost by MD or SD> sorry but that's Al Haymon magic.


only by KO.

One guy has a lot of fights with TBA's and no names and the other has only a couple fights and a big name and both solid amateurs.......that's an interesting mix. But I think Russell will control the distance better and win a decision.

Don't what y'all are talking about - the winner will have to fight the mando: TBA

Lomachenko better win this one, if he takes another L this early with this start it makes his career look bad and definitely keeps him from maximizing his total earnings throughout his career he could of had.

Well he's already going to get paydays in his first fights that most guys won't be getting after 20, and already getting 10 and 12 round experience v top guys. Even if he loses, he can slowly rebuild. He will win this one though.

He will win this one though.

No he won't . You can't shortcut the pro learning curve no matter how great of an amateur you are.

Learning to deal with different styles, countering dirty tricks, mapping out a strategy for a 12 round fight...these are all things that have to be learned gradually.

Let's get it Lomachenko!! I hope he puts a beating on Russell.

We will see who is correct when the fight happens. I don't disagree with you, but i'm just confident with my opinion that Vasyl has enough to beat GRJ. To be fair, as has been said, he probably learned more about "countering dirty tricks" and from now on "mapping out a strategy over the 12 rounds" simply from the Salido fight, more than Russell has in his career, who has never been 12 and only 10 against unknown bums. I agree Vasyl still has to learn a lot in the pros, I just believe this is one fight in particular that he can win.

So Loma chose the hard path for Pros. I like it.
