russell will learn from this and be back.

well, loma may have more depth, but his win toniglht was helped by the fact that he was clearly the bigger, stronger guy... the size differential was definitely a factor in his ability to absorb russell's shots and be effective with his punches.

 

the same excuse can be made as to why Loma lost to Salido

Maidana was 2 weight classes bigger than Floyd on fight night, but did that get him a win? no, because size isn't everything, if you have the size advantage, you also need the skills and intelligence to use it correctly

 

didn't hear you guys mentioning that before the fight. was just grj is going to paintbrush him. lets not get carried away by this win by lomachenko. all he beat was an overrated, protected , bum.

 

Excuses. lomachenko only 1 1/2 inches taller and they weighed the same.

Skill was the main factor..........deal with it LOSER :deal

 

Fight night weights 138.5 Loma, 138 GRJ

 

almost like chavez jr, lol

 

OK, i admit i was not that impressed with loma really...you could say that russell was landing at a low percentage, but at least he was punching. loma's output was very low, throughout but especially in the early and middle rounds. loma took whole rounds off at a time...seemed like he gasses easy. for get stupid a99 steve farhood...I scored it like this.

rd 1 loma
rd 2 GRJ
rd 3 GRJ
rd 4 GRJ
rd 5 loma
rd 6 GRJ
rd 7 loma
rd 8 GRJ
rd 9 GRJ
rd 10 Loma
rd 11 loma
rd 12 loma

6 rounds to 6. I think the difference is, the judges gave loma most of the early rounds...even so, GRJ faded in rds 11 and 12 which had no business doing, and which is what really lost him the fight.

 

what's your source for this?

 

showtime telecast

 

lol...i don't see GRJ as a bum at all. he may not be the most complete or talented guy out there, but with some good coaching and matchmaking he'll be back. he has better speed than loma. he's quicker and has a good chin and landed some good counters on loma when loma wasn't running away from him. he actually outlanded loma in the last four rounds, unlike what compubox says. but he came up short in the final two rounds against an opponent who was clearly physically bigger and more technical. he

 

that's not what i heard... I i heard them say loma was quite a bit bigger than GRJ on fight night... when in the broadcast did they say the weights?

 

Dude they showed the tale of the tape just before the fight. How about you use your eyes for once?

 

My friend.

you are in denial now. you cant hear or see objectively for some time. you refuse to hear and see the facts even someone pointed you it black in white. for outsiders your behaviour looks hysterical.

 

lol...all i did was ask a question, fella. no need to get indignant. if they showed it, they showed it...what i'm saying is, lomachenko was clearly the bigger man in the ring and it showed. it's not like he outclassed GRJ... his main advantage was the fact that he's the bigger guy.

 

I would say his main advantage was his ability to land cleaner punches.

Russell's flurries often fell short or hit arms.

Both weighed the same and Russell has talked about moving up to 130 lbs in the past.
