    So Lomachenko vs Russell in LA?

    So Lomachenko vs Russell is gonna be in LA on june 21st?


    Where are they looking to have this fight? Nokia Theatre?

    Either fighters is a big name enough to fill up Staples, Forum or Stub Hub?

    This is a good match up on paper however since Lomachenko had all the hype going into the Salido fight and he held his own despite losing and Salido coming in heavy. Russell on the other hand has fast blazing speed hands but thats pretty much it. We all know his opposition has been quite suspect.

    So anyone know where in LA they trying to put this fight? Also who you got?

    This won't be in a major arena unless it's a huge card like a triple header with other name fighters...

    A smaller venue should be ideal..

      Didn't even know this fight was done, thought Russell had a trilogy with TBA to take care of first.


      In all seriousness, kinda sad a guy with two fights is considered Gary Russell's first step up.

        Even worse is that lomochenko has only 2 fights but both were better than anyone Russell has fought

              I'm not sure if LA has a big Ukraine population like in Seattle and up North?

              But ton of them of course came out to support the Klitschkos whenever they fought at Staples Center.

              Russell on the other hand doesn't have a following at all. So based on that I'd guess the Nokia Theatre would be a better venue for this one.

              Who you got by the way bro?

                  That's what I heard also Guerrero would be in that card.

                    I honestly have no idea.. I lean towards Russell due to his amazing hand speed, but Russell has never been tested or in trouble.. I think lomo could get him in trouble after a few rounds and may stop Russell..

                    I think it's a 50/50 fight... And I also think it will be very entertaining..
