    Russell is not a protected fighter. He has just chosen to get a certain number of fights and rounds under his belt before going for a championship.

    Plus recently he has wanted to fight Jhonny Gonzalez and Juanma Lopez but they have turned him down.

      I've got a lot of time for lomachenko. He took a shot at achieving ATG status on his second pro fight. Not bad. I still think he can go on to be a top p4p level fighter when he adjusts to the pro-game.

        i will always remember the famous "loma future GOAT?" thread made before the salido fight lol


        but i still believe in loma, i hope he wins n becomes champ this sat. but i think his lack of pro fights could hurt him big time.

          I don't dislike Russell but I'm going for Loma because I want another superstar to emerge and I think he has the goods.

          On a different note, hope Jesus freak gets sparked for avoiding Thurman.

              This should be the main event and the only reason I am watching this card.

                  The highest weight division Vasyl fought within was jr welterweight right? If he learned anything from his fight with Siri, I hope he learned that size does matter (pause).

                    Sorry, 23 fights and not 1 single name of note to date? That's a hard sell.

                      If he had a belt and was fighting bums then ok, criticize him all you want. But he's not a champion yet. This is the time when he is allowed to have these kinds of fights to iron out the kinks.

                      Look how long Andre Ward took to build up to his first title shot. That was a smart strategy and it has worked out tremendously for him.
