    Does Gary Russell's win over Gonzales show just how good Lomachenko is.

      It says more about Russel than Loma, if anything. We all know how talented Loma is, Russel just made a statement for himself.

      I suggest we give Russel Jr. the opportunity to bask in glory for once, before making him look like Lomachenko's shiny badge on his resume.

      At the end of the day it was Gary who KO'd Gonzalez, not Loma. An undefeated Russel was a good win for Lomachenko nonetheless, but Russel's win over Gonzalez does not correlate with any of Lomachenko's accomplishments thus far.

        No, Russel's work belongs to him and him alone. What Loma can do is beat a fighter the caliber of Johnny to show how good he is. This is no knock on Loma, it's simply what it is.

          I just think those days of trying to be flashy, admiring you work or posing after throwing a combination are over, I think Russell Jr. is gonna take boxing far more serious.

            Or not because you're not a Salido fan

                Salido imposed his will on Lomachenko, actually. And nothing Loma tried could stop it from happening.

                    I think you're missing the point entirely. Loma does not get any credit, in any way, for what Russel has accomplished. And that, is quite frankly the beginning and the end of the point.
