Comments Thread For: Gary Russell: I Want Loma Rematch For Myself; Not Fans, Not Media

[champion4ever]

He's not going to defeat Loma fighting off the back foot. He has to stay busier with his punches while coming forward and backing Loma up.

He had his chance. Would be the same result even though Loma is OLD.

break it down then. in what exact areas was the size disadvantage a fight changing detriment to Russell? loma's footwork was too much for him. Russell is talented and good fighter, but loma is just plain better.

All areas.
There’s nothing to break down. Loma was clearly the bigger fighter in the ring against Russell jr and it played a huge role in the fight. If you are arguing that the size difference didn’t matter and it was all about Loma’s footwork then you can continue believing that.

Lol if I had 100 mil I wouldn't have to work again. They weighed the same and despite Showtime's announce teams claim that Russell was "competitive" during that fight he was not. He was badly outclassed, but hard to get around that "nah" argument of yours lol. That's the response of someone who has no argument. Don't worry though another month and nobody will be talking about Groundhog Gary til his annual appearance.

I have no argument because I couldn’t care less about what you think. I get you’re frustrated that I don’t care enough about what you think to try and convince you of my opinion, but I still don’t care. Make all the sassy comments you want if it makes you feel better.

Gary is very gifted but Loma's style is just all wrong for him. He just could not keep pace with Loma's movement.

But he dropped Loma anyway for good measure.

Yet here you are still responding lol just had to shut down that nonsense you were trying to spread. Loma better than Russell, not opinion considering that they fought and Russell was dominated, so that is fact.

Nothing for Loma to prove there and it won't do anything for his bank account or his legacy to beat Russell again.

Russell fighting Tank at 135 would be a more compelling fight, but I think he would be too small against Tank who would likely blow up to 150 on fight night. Tank can barely make weight at 135 now.

Loma has only improved at the pro fight game since their first encounter. Conventional wisdom says Loma wins even easier than the first bout.

I’m not saying size made no difference, but it wasn’t the deciding factor. Loma beat Russell in every aspect of the fight.

Well size is a factor in all aspects of being in a fight with someone. The size difference played a role to some degree in everything that happened in the ring. If your opponent can hurt you while you can’t hurt them, then that’s going to effect everything else. If you’ve got 2 relatively equal skilled fighters with one fighter having a clear size advantage over the other then the bigger guy is going to win 8-9/10 times.

Yet here you are still responding lol just had to shut down that nonsense you were trying to spread. Loma better than Russell, not opinion considering that they fought and Russell was dominated, so that is fact.

Well I haven’t denied that loma is better. I simply acknowledged the clear size difference and said that the fight would’ve went differently if it wasn’t for the size difference.

You struggle to comprehend, and that’s what’s not an opinion.
