    Or perhaps Rigondeaux is that good.

    I put a lot of stock in Loma beating Russell, but more into the way Rigondeaux completely embarrassed Donaire at the top of his game.

    Both will have plenty of offensive droughts, but I believe in Rigondeaux's D against anyone in the world. Marroquin.....that fight was 2 years ago. Rigondeaux has looked MUCH MUCH better in the fights since then.

      Russell needs to switch to Freddie roach for a trainer. He would work wonders with Russell hand speed and teach him better combinations.

        What do you think Marroquin did to Rigo exactly? Lol RIgo dropped him and won easily you are basically saying the dude is that good that doing OK in some parts against him in a clear loss should be taken as a victory. I know Rigo is great, but damn to you he is God

            He didn't even do okay in parts. He toughed Rigo with 2 punches the entire fight, and was dominated every single second outside of those.

              Lom looked sensational. Russell is a fantastic fighter who can still make some serious noise.

                Exactly. He showed a lot as well. Just a level below Loma but both will be champions I have no doubt.

                  I personally think Russell will be mentally shot after this. At the end of the day, he just lost to a 1-1 prospect who's done more in three fights than Russell did in 25. I don't care how nice the am. Pedigree is, in the pros, experience counts for alot, and Lomo seriously outclassed him, with only 2 fights under his belt. I think that'll be a hard pull to swallow.

                  To prove his worth, he's going to demand tougher outings to Try and get a rematch, and he will fail. I also think he needs a new trainer

                    I though Russell was going to win but he got his clock cleaned. I don't think the fight was close at all and I don't remember more than one or two rounds that Russell won. He clearly lost most rounds on my card. Russell is good but he lost to someone much better.

                      His hands are too fragile to be a top fighter IMO. He was just throwing slaps in there. It's such a shame cause he has incredibly fast hands but I just don't think his hands will hold up.
