Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr: Lomachenko Still Fights Like an Amateur

[Corelone]

Oh I get it. The Loma fight was fixed because Salido is from Mexico. Good thing it was not in Arizona, they really know how to help Mexicans there. Loma is not a good pro fighter and Provo got out boxed. Quit your crying, big baby.

Hopefully the Salido fight was exactly the experience Lomachenko needed to snap him out of the amateur mindset.

Yeah, I think it would have done a lot of good for him. A big plus is that he got stronger toward the end, though admittedly that was as much Salidos poor condition and not training properly for it, but he still got stronger, and fought out the full 12 well.

It was just his offense that needed to be shifted from the amateur leagues. He still had some defensive issues too, but not too bad.

No comment about what I said about the American thing I see...
What a complete fool, you don't even know much about your OWN country

He even claims Mexicans are Americans in his ignorance. The only American in the ring with Salido and Loma was the ref.

Sorry to break this to you, but America is a CONTINENT not a country and Mexico is part of the AMERICAN CONTINENT, hence Salido and all mexicans ARE AMERICANS.

Yes he does because the last title fight he had was clearly fixed.

Yea Salido cheated every way he could and got away with it but Loma didn't deserve that title shot in the first place.

I watched the Tamayo fight and I noticed Russell's defense is lacking. He keeps his right hand low, and his guard is open. He's lucky he hasn't been against an opponent who's able to exploit that.

Also, Russell has never fought in a 12-rounder. Lomachenko has.

WAR LOMACHENKO

Real talk, disregarding all the storylines about padded resumes, being skipped to the front of the line, and this being a title fight... This is a pretty interesting fight. Loma's a really good boxer, and GR Jr maybe the fastest hands in the biz. I'm interested in the show we'll get from these two from a skills perspective.

Russell would cry and quit from all the illegal hits Salido worked on Loma

True I agree he definitely didn't deserve the title shot.
