So how did you score it? I want to see round by round scorecards, if you ain't got it, don't bother posting.
I think the fight was very, very close, with Russell winning rounds on activity alone when it looked like Lomachenko just didn't want to do anything but he came back strong in the second half of the fight and imo edged by a single solitary point. Here's my card:
Round 1: 10-9 Lomachenko, not much in it but Loma landed the better punches
Round 2: 10-9 Russell, activity wins him the round with Loma responding only sporadically
Round 3: 10-9 Russell
Round 4: 10-9 Russell
Round 5: 10-9 Lomachenko, finally starts doing some of his own work, he can't match Russell's activity but his punches are harder and more accurate
Round 6: 10-9 Russell, this round pretty much represents the entire fight, did you like Russell's activity and constant pressure or Loma's bigger but far fewer shots?
Round 7: 10-9 Lomachenko, Russell drops in activity and gets caught often
Round 8: 10-10 Neither fighter does much to write home about
Round 9: 10-9 Russell, barely edges it in my opinion with a fast, active start but Loma finishes well
Round 10: 10-9 Lomachenko
Round 11: 10-9 Lomachenko
Round 12: 10-9 Lomachenko, the last 3 rounds are all Loma, Russell looks tired and hurt, activity levels drops and Loma really starts pounding on him. He really is a great finisher of fights.
115/114 Lomachenko
