    Will GRJ want the fight? I still highly doubt it.

    To be fair he's not just 'someone with a 1-1 record'. It's a massive step up for GRJ.

    All credit to Lomachenko. The kid will fight anyone. He is one of the best things to happen to the sport in many many years.

    GRJ has said he has no problem fighting Loma, in fact hes looking forward to fighting for then title.

    What he did say is that Loma didn't deserve to get a title shot immediately after getting beaten

    Gary Russell Sr on Lomachenko:

    'even though he did go the distance and he probably won a couple of rounds, but once again, I don't think it's fair that they put him in the situation to fight for a title not once, but twice.'

    Talking about the TR-GBP war:
    'it will be hard-pressed for us to fight a Top Rank fighter. The position we are in makes it a difficult situation. He's the mandatory #1 and that particular belt is on the other side. '

    'I don't know how it works. Unless Gary says, "I don't play the politics and I don't agree with what you are doing; we not gonna fight Lomachenko," so if he chooses not to fight Lomachenko, who will they get to fight him for that vacant title? The #2, the #3, the #4 or #5. I wonder, and if that's the case and they gonna make that happen, it's gonna make him the number one contender either way, absolutely. '

    -------------------
    It already seems like they don't really want a fight with Lomachenko.

    Just wait till this is all done, then naturally we'll have our answers.
