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

[darius45]

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

Pretty much this, unless maybe one of the fighters wins in very convincing/dramatic fashion

Loma needs to watch out for that mean hook GJR has

[King_]

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

Pretty sure it has something to do with Salido not bothering to make weight for their title fight and coming in 2 divisions overweight...

Just say it.

Floydiots/Haymonatics will be crying if Loma wins then it will be "oh yeah well GRJ is a bum"

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.

Gary Russell Jr by KO and Loma's career will be destroyed, sad but now he will actually have to work his way up the ranks like most other boxers. Gary Russell Jr World Champion and will remain one all the way to Welterweight Champion. He's elite.

However how can you justify his title shot after the second fight. It's an insult to every pro boxer ever.

but will it kill TBA?

but will it kill TBA?

TBA? The Biggest Avoider? or TBD, The Biggest Duck (Evah)

Funny that TBA also stands for To Be Announced, or TBD, To Be Decided.

Two acronyms Haymon fighters are usually associated with. Peterson is back in August vs TBA/TBD. Berto vs TBA/TBD, etc.

Never about Peterson vs Alexander/Guerrero/Thurman..... Peterson vs TBA.. ;-)

I can definitely see that side
