Russell Jr. vs Lomachenko Discussion & RBR Thread

[mathed]

I am picking GRJ to win via UD. Loma finds out that he isn't the fastest kid on the block and starts to break down as the fight goes on.

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

I'm pretty certain he just sign with GBP.

This one is very hard to predict because Loma was competitive with Salido a tough proven champion even in a loss in his 2nd pro fight but GRJ hasn't fought anyone and looks good against guys he is supposed to look good against.

It is pretty suspenseful before hand because both guys have talent but alot of questions surrounding them.

GRJ by decision. The difference in professional experience is gonna show.

Don't forget that Lomachenko has a big height advantage. I would think he has a good reach advantage as well.

I agree with this. Jr. by UD.

[VG_Addict]

I think Russell has good timing. Look at the Tamayo fight.

Lomachenko TKO6 body shot.

If he didnt break down vs someone like Salido what makes you think he will break down vs Russell Jr?

I'm gonna go against the grain here and predict a Loma win and possibly by stoppage. GRJR will hurt his fragile hands or something and Loma will capitalize. I could also see Loma hurting GRJR. We've never really seen his chin get checked, I think it Loma will do that. They're both fundamentally sound so all of this happens on the second half of the fight.

EDIT: I think Loma will show his power in this fight. Salido took his hits for 10 rounds before he felt the power but he has a good chin. Let's see how GRJR's chin hold up.
