    He fought well, he was just a level below. Like Salido for Lomachenko, this will be good for Russell.

      He was LOST at times when Lomachenko showed lateral movement. That was Lomas biggest weapon in there.

      I still think Rigondeaux makes easy work of Loma though.
      You sound salty, you saw what Robert Marroquin did to Rigo. Donaire was never the same without Pedguru Victor Conte, since he didn't use him for the Rigo fight, and we have seeb a different fighter since the departure. Something to think about.

          I wish Gary wasn't so flat footed but you are correct. He will be a champion someday. The guy has heart and a good chin. He reminds me of Bradley. Even if he is over matched or getting hurt, he keeps coming and trying to win the fight. He didn't just try to last to the final bell. He threw a lot and tried to win rounds off activity.

          Tonight, he ran into a special fighter who is extremely crafty and talented. Lomas movement and sharp punching accuracy was too much for him but I think Gary will come back stronger and learn from this fight. Kudos to both fighters.

            I still think Rigondeaux beats Loma, in a very boring fight.
            Arum learned his lesson. He would never let rigo fight loma

              I don't think Rigo at all makes easy work of Loma. Could he win a wide decision on the cards? Sure, but every round will be a nervous one. Loma can hurt that dude. Loma would certainly be a underdog but he'd be a live one.

                      Wilder-Stiverne is going to end up seriously badly for Deontay. Another GBP-Haymon not moved correctly. Except he won't be schooled for 12 rounds but will instead will get KTFO.

                      With regards to GSJ, I'm a big fan but it was sad to see him tonight. Maybe he couldn't ever hang with a Loma but he should have done better and that is down to how his handlers moved him. At least we know he's got a chin and heart. Lomachenko was tremendous.
