One guy was a legendary amateur who almost beat Salido. The other guy was a good amateur who has yet to face a notable opponent. Lomachenko fights best when he's attacking. I don't see Russell Jr. applying the same kind of pressure Salido did. Lomachenko also now knows he can go twelve rounds. It would be a rush to put Lomachenko in with another world class fighter at this point, but since when was Gary Russell Jr. a proven world class fighter?
Very true. And i've said elsewhere, Loma started fighting 10 rounders in his 1st fight, while GRJ begun those in his 19th. Even Loma's one win is a better quality opponent than anyone on GRJ's resume.
