Let me get this straight. Lomechenko treated Gary Russell like a punching bag and now Russell is fighting for the title. I guess that's boxing for you.

lol and if he wins he will be called a World Champion along with the guy that beat him and if he fails to win this title, dont worry there are 2 more to try for...

Just don't get KO'd.... I won't be surprised

Great fight. I could see Russell winning if he doesn't get caught with a big punch. Would like to see Mares fight the winner.

It happens more often than you think, a boxer losing his title fight only to get another immediately.

Come on now. You can't expect Russell to keep having rematches with TBA all the time. Fans want him to fight other fighters for once in awhile.

Jhonny Gonzalez better K.O. Gary Russell Jr. otherwise he isn't winning the fight. And I won't feel bad for Gonzalez at all if/when he gets robbed by the judges.

Would be another easy belt for Loma if Russell wins and they have a rematch.
