Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr: Beating Lomachenko Would Kill Two Birds

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This coming Saturday night at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, undefeated yet untested Gary Russell Jr. (24-0, 14 KOs) will go against perhaps the most prolific amateur boxer of all-time, Vasyl Lomachenko (1-1, 1 KO), of Ukraine, in a 12-rounder for the vacant WBO Featherweight World Championship. The fight will be showcased as the co-featured attraction of a Showtime televised tripleheader. [Click Here To Read More]

Lomechenko will own this guy. I've never seen a more hyped resume than "GARY RUSSELL JR", it's border line comical!! Who is he? When? and Where does he fight?

The wbo is a joke how does loma get a title shot by doing nothing and losing his only pro fight.

Actually loma is 1-1 so he has the same amount of wins as losses

Courtesy of that old reptilian.

Neither fighter will get much credit:

If Loma wins a close decision, I guarantee there will screams of "ROBBERY" and I think I know by who. If it isn't close, they'll just say GRJ wasn't any good anyway, he's a midget, untested etc.

If GJR wins, they'll just argue that Loma wasn't experienced enough (which they would have a point) or if he wins a close decision, certain people will also be screaming robbery.

Personally I'd rather see this than watch a pro have 25 pro fights padding his record with tomato cans before he fights anyone with a pulse. At least Loma is daring to make a statement right out of the gate.

So you think Gary beating on cab drivers his entire careers makes him good or tested ?Loma isn't experience it's not even debatable

This is such a joke of a fight Vince McMahon should be the promoter and you could have Hulk Hogan as the ref.

I'm just going to say it right now and get it over and done with...

Gary Russel Jr vs Lomachenko was a robbery, Loma clearly won that fight.

There wont need to do it after the fight now.
