Comments Thread For: Arum Talks Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Gary Russell Jr.

[Corelone]

Lomachenko getting credit for coming on late with Salido. Salido gassed out, he was running on fumes for two or three rounds. That is not to brag about, he still lost.

Unless someone gets knocked out, i think the safest bet would be a draw in this one folks!

Good call, two extremely talented fighters it's hard to pick who'll win

I can imagine what would have happened to Lomachenko if Salido had trained and showed up in shape. Lomachenko picked Salido and got what he asked for, no more excuses.

Salido did train. He's been struggling to make 126 for a long time. He had a fight at 130. He said he was gonna move up but got a title shot and took it. Then he defended vs Lomachenko.

People keep hyping this kid and it will look horrible when he gets trampled by the hands of Russell. Lomo asked for too much too soon and will Find out the hard way on way to take your time.

Hip shots also in my view are far from being fouls. I was trained to attack the hip of an opponent much like Frazier did against larger opponents like Ali.

Keep hyping the kid, because it proves you don't know s*** about boxing.

I'm of the opinion that Loma had a bunch of obstacles to overcome in that Salido fight, the weight, his second pro fight, the fouls committed by Salido, and the fact that Salido is a veteran that has fought the absolute best in that division from Gamboa, Lopez, JMM, Mikey etc, even then Loma was winning those last rounds........I was happy as hell that Salido won and I was rooting for Salido because Loma was there due to politics but if Loma fought all of Gary's opponents he'd also be undefeated, idk who the hell to pick, I'll be rooting for the American.........one thing to remember is that gary has those "hand problems".......

You are making my point, Salido has been struggling, that's what Lomachenko was counting on. A drained past his prime Salido, and that's what they got.

Oh I see. You made it sound like he didnt train and that's why he was overweight. Gotcha.
