Boy, can't pick for sure. Lomachenko might have a slide edge through experience.

[-PBP-]

I have no idea how this fight will play out

[SlySlickSmooth]

There shouldn't be anything too fishy on the cards, if Arum and Oscar are such great friends.


I think Lomachenko will be more familiar with a style like Russell's and I would favor him in the early rounds. I think with Loma will be very prepared for this fight, ready to go 12 rounds and I think he could win a split decision.

Lomachenko beat WBO ranked #7 Jose Ramirez to earn a spot at the top of the WBO rankings. Russell Jr. has been in the top 10 for awhile.

Oh wait, I forgot he's a HAYMON fighter. He's not signed to GBP is he?

[sicko]

Too much of a unknown about both fighters so I really don't know what to expect. I could see Lomachenko knocking him out or Russell Jr. having a break out fight and putting on a clinic or maybe Lomachenko outworks Russell or maybe Russell Jr hurts himself during the fight

50/50 Fight

GRJ will sent into oblivion! Loma by KO

[Sweet Pea 50]

Picking Russell Jr. by decision.

Although I am in the same mindset as PBP and sicko about the fight.

[Motofan]

Loma wins this one around the eighth round when TBA takes a chair to Gary's head while the ref is distracted. TBA will not be denied.

[Akuza Da Root]

For some reason I am feeling a Russell Jr. victory via KO of Lomachenko.
