Comments Thread For: Russell: Gonzalez is More Dangerous Than Lomachenko

[jas]

Who outboxed Jhonny? He's lost mostly all of his big fights by KO. He displays great boxing ability and seems to be in control of the fight, and simply has been caught with something big his fragile chin can't recover from.

He was losing vs ponce

You can count on one hand, without using all your fingers, the number of boxers that actually choose their opponents. The boxer just fights who they put in front of him.
Not even Pac picks his fights. If you hate his promoter or matchmaker that's fine, but Russell is just doing his job. Guys on this site think PROFESSIONAL boxing works like calling a kid out in high school.

He fights TBA then gets gifted a title shot he hasn't earned. Strike one. Gets humiliated vs Lomachenko, almost earns a draw. Strike two. Talks absolute dumb shit like the 99/100 quote. Gets gifted another title shot that he most likely wins as Gonzo is a seriously flawed fighter. What's not to love? Dude is all flash and ZERO substance. I can see how that appeals to some people though. Just pretend like he didn't just get thoroughly schooled.

There are so many fighters who get undeserving title shots nowadays. If we criticize Russell for this, then most current championship caliber fighters should be criticized as well.

Speaking of the Lomachenko-Russell fight, Loma got a title shot coming off... a loss... in a title fight.

Bingo! and it was not only coming off loss but in his 3rd fight as a pro

"If we fought 100 times, I would beat him 99, you just happened to see the one I dont win. But we're not fighting again so you don't get to see me win the next 99, because I don't seem interested in a rematch even though I'll win the next 99. I'm just letting Lomachenko keep the belt because then I would give him 99 straight loses and he would be like 3-100 and everybody would be scared to fight me."

Oh my, I forgot all about this outrageously ****** quote from GRJ. If he was sure that he'd beat Loma, he'd be screaming for a rematch.

"I don't seem interested in a rematch" Guess what Gary: No one else is interested in a rematch either because you got your ass kicked thoroughly and the same thing would happen 100 times out of 100.

That said, I admire his toughness. He took one hell of a beating and finished the fight. But you don't want too many 12 round beatings, those are what do the most damage.

To be fair, Loma got a title shot his second fight. He certainly didn't earn it.

How can you cherry pick the #1 fighter in the division? One minute he's the TBA killer and now he's at the point where 2 of his last 3 fights are against two of the top 5 fighters in his division. And that's STILL not good enough for you. You guys are the joke.

Do you not know the meaning of cherry pick? What makes Jhonny the number 1? I can see you're already setting up to call Chump Russell Jr the champ already. That's a sick joke.

I'm not defending that. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Plenty of reasons to give Russell Jr some hate. He doesn't deserve this gift title shot but he'll most likely win this cherry pick. Dude is a joke.

This is the opposite of a cherrypick

Russell is being given another tough fight just 2 fights after facing loma

You're talking nonsense

I think Russel will pull this off. Close but clear win, 116 - 112 would be my guess.

Clearly nonsense you speak. You haven't figured out what cherry pick means yet.
