Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: I Think My Hand Speed Will Be a Big Factor

[Bushbaby]

Anti Loma so far. Well lemme just be the 1st to say it. In case ya'll didn't pay attention, Loma has pretty ridiculous handspeed himself. Furthermore losing to Salido is almost greater than Russell's career. This fight is a pick em fight if I've ever seen one.

And it wasn't like it was a one sided fight he lost to salido who was a ww on fight night by about a point. I think Lomachenko shines bright come Saturday night

So very true. He damn near stopped Salido if I recall correctly.

Yup salido was holding on for dear life during the 12th round

russell will ud this dude and send his ass back to rob arum with 2 L's.......easy work.

Pulling for Loma for the upset. I think he will be more familiar with a style like Russell's rather than Orlando "let me punch you in the nuts and weigh in at welterweight" Salido.

Salido gave him the bonafide "what happens in the pros" experience.

This, and Salido was beyond dirty in that fight.. to the point that point deductions wouldn't suffice. Anyway i still have Gary winning this one.. it's really a pick 'em but I just want Loma to slow down a bit and rebuild. This fight isn't the end for either fighter if they happen to lose but it can really catapult them further if they win, and Russel is long overdue to give us good fights and show us his potential vs world class opposition. Winner of this one should try unifying vs Gonzalez/Arce(if it gets made, kind of a joke). If Loma wins good for him if not it's fine, he is skilled, seems to be heavy handed and has nice hand/foot speed. Bright future for both. War Russel, let them gifted hands go son!

Lomachenko has fast hands too.

In my opinion Loma has faced more adversity than Russell, I recall watchin Russell did fight with one hand two or three fights ago but Loma faced a guy that tested him more than anyone has tested Russell, both very talented I can't wait, pullin for Russell cuz he's American but Loma in my opinion showed a lot when he almost stopped Salido in the championship rounds, Russell has never fought through adversity in championship rds but I wouldn't be surprised if one or the other finishes the fight early

This is a rare fight, A guy fighting for his second world title in just his 3rd pro fight and yet in just 3 pro fights he has a better resume then his opponents 24 pro bouts.

Needless to say I got Lomochenko to completely and utterly dominate the TBA Assassin

PS: Lomochenko has fast hands too.

Check out 1:17 mark to see them fast hands let off their leash
