      Too many unknowns. I just can hope for a good fight.

        This is a weird fight. I mean it is for a world title between 2 "Possible" world class opponents. Nobody knows because neither of them actually won a world class fight.

        They both shows signs of it, Gary by walking through journeymen easily and Lomo by being competitive in a losing effort to a strong, but fading champion level guy.

        This one is too hard to predict for me. We just do not know enough.

          Truely a 50/50 fight at this point. We dont really know enough about either of them to make an educated decision. I'm really interested in seeing if Lomachenko can fight on the inside because Russell will have the faster hands.

                How do you figure? Russell might have the fastest hands in the sport.

                  Lomachenko to me is more proven, but Russell has more pro experience. I don't think Russell will apply the same kind of pressure that Salido did.

                    I've chosen Loma by 9th TKO, I believe GRJ's "gator arms" will hurt him with a guy that loves distance like Loma, both guys are fast but I think Loma has better pop.

                      Something to take into account is Russell won't be anywhere near as big as Salido was.
