Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: I'd Beat Lomachenko 99 Out of 100 Times

[gdub27]

I don't fault Russ for his comments. ALL top fighters are delusional. ALL OF THEM!! If you dont believe you are the best in the world when you step through those ropes then you shouldn't do it. This is why fighters don't pick their fights or all of em would want a title fight once they become 10-0. Russell is very talented but I dont think he fights the right style for his body type.

BTW off topic, if Cuba and the U.S. kiss and make up, the boxing and baseball worlds will both recieve a nice infusion of talent

Just got back from the Little Creek Brawl;

Gary, even if there was some substance behind your claims, you'd never fight him again!

I was a fan. I talked you up on here. But you couldn't be bothered to finish a guy that was ridiculously outclassed tonight.

If your hands are bad (the only possible mitigating factor imo), fight guys that at least can box w/u enough to make it interesting. This was an exhibition. Nothing more.

Disappointed.

At the end of the day, Loma was bigger and stronger with equal skills to Russell If not a little better, It's hard to over come size and strength of someone as athletic as yourself, regardless of skill level. Loma beats Rusell 8 times out of 10 IMHO...It's just hard for Rusell too accept the fact that someone is better then him, but that's normal for a young fighter....

With same skills? If not a little better???

Another one from parallel reality?

Thanks! This one almost as funny as Garry's original joke.

Yep, good post.

GRJ proved he's a quality fighter in that Lomachenko bout. He lost but he was competitive and won some rounds.
