Comments Thread For: Gary Russell Jr.-Vasyl Lomachenko: Pre-Report Card

[LouIE G]

Does anyone know who the favorite is??

classy as always cliff. but if anyone deserves an a+ in speed, it's russel.

this is definitely a pick 'em fight, but if i had to give the edge to one it'd be grj. i'm more disappointed in loma's loss to salido than i am with gary's poor matchmaking. after watching mikey garcia utterly dominate orlando, i thought visali would have an easier go at him

russel jr by close decision.

Let's make it interesting. I have a 100 million that says Loma wins. What do you say?

100 million only? Let's triple it... BTW, how do you bet??

Okay, 300 mil is on! You'll receive it if GRJ wins, if Loma wins just click where it says 'vbPlaza Menu' and then click 'Donate' and input 300000000 good luck bro

Got it. Thanks for the explanation. Do you set a reminder after the fight? i want to ensure I pay you if Russell loses.

This is a very intriguing fight.
I hadn't seen anything of Russell at all till the fight was made but I've been checking him out on good old youtube since then. What people have been saying about his hand speed is correct, his punches are lightening fast.
Loma seems more mobile though. He slides in and out of range so quickly and smoothly, and combined with his longer reach, that could negate Russell's hand speed. I can see Loma building a points lead by keeping out of Russell's range and pot shotting him with jabs and quick left-right combos.
If Russell has to start charging to land his own shots he could get caught coming in and I've no idea how good his chin is. Loma's body punches could also cause him problems.
I'm leaning towards Loma winning by ko sometime after rounds 7/8, but that's based on speculation only, which is why I'm looking forward so much to seeing this one.

Agree, The Wild Card seems to be Mr. Russell's Whiskers.....
