Showing clip of Gary standing on his foot. Next you'll be saying Jack is racist. Stand on foot, swing, miss, can't proceed forward with momentum of body. Good call. That's why Reiss is a pro and you're a racist idiot who just can't stand Loma cause of the color of his skin. If it happened the other way around where Gary touched the canvas in the 3rd round, he did, and Jack hadn't waved it off, he did wave it off, it happened, you'd be calling Holy Murder. This clip, you are showing happened in the 9th. Want to talk about how Loma dominated the stats by double, yet one judge had them at a tie. That's crooked as hell.
Russell, 24 and 0 going into the fight, was taking the extremely cautious route over the first five years of his career. His inexperience with top-level competition showed against Loma. He landed an abysmal10 percent of his 806 punches, failing to back up his activity with accuracy while unable to match Lomachenko's accuracy and ring IQ.
"I thought it was a fair decision," Russell said. "I didn't stick to my game plan like I should have. I should have initiated the action much more and closed the distance on him."
Lomachenko landed 31 percent of his punches, including 43 percent of his power shots. He connected with 57 power shots to the body, according to CompuBox.
Both fighters showed off their athleticism from the opening bell, with Lomachenko pressuring Russell and deflecting most of Russell's combinations. Lomachenko worked Russell's body and avoided trouble while stacking up early rounds.
"I was working him to the body, and then I was working his head," Lomachenko said. "I followed my plan. I didn't prepare for this fight just to try something different."
Lomachenko hurt Russell visibly in the fifth round with punches to the body and head, but Russell kept up his activity level. But Lomachenko punished Russell again in the seventh, staggering him back with combinations and power.
Russell's eye began to swell in the late rounds, and Lomachenko landed a heavy right hand late in the 10th. Lomachenko finished with style, badly hurting Russell in the final minute of the 12th round and likely missing a stoppage by just a few seconds.
