Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Decisions Russell, Captures WBO Crown

Great stuff from Lomachenko. Great combos, upper body movement, ring generalship, mixing in body work in his combos.

GRJ was considered one of the best prospects and Lomachenko made him look like he didn't belong in there...in his 3rd fight.

Hard to imagine anyone having a shot against this kid after he gets a few more fights under belt.

Lomachenko gave Russell Jr a boxing lesson. Ha! Ha!

Russell is a fantastic fighter who lost to a guy who was in the zone. I would take Russell in a heartbeat over Gradovich. Gradovich is made to order for Russell. Gradovich comes forward, not much power, easy as hell to hit. He could pick up that title.

Lomachenko has a lot of skill and power but he is lacking a very important attribute. Creativity. His lack of creativity cost him the fight against Salido and with Russell gave the impression that Lomachenko moved excessively without need. He was the much stronger, faster, harder hitting fighter and he had russell at his mercy pretty much from about the 4th round on. It should have never gone 12. I see him having trouble with other fighters his size as long they out hustle him going forward.

I agree Loma almost looked as if he took a couple rounds off. But then again those were the only rounds he lost.

Cong**** to loma on his victory it just sucks he won the wbo title which is garbage would of been better if he would of won one of the top three championships.

Lom is going to go a long way! He may end up being 20-1 with tons of title defenses over the next few years.

I agree. Props to Lom

Thank you !!!!!!! East Europeans are warriors, Lomachenko just needed to step on the gas and KO that bum.

gary has a future in the sport, a wake up call early on instead of all those tba's would have done him more good though.
