... In the next 18 months. If he and Arum want instant, international celebrity, this is their chance. First a rematch with Gary Jr at 126, It was a split decision and GRJ has been beging for the fight. Gary Antonio is a Super-Bantamweight, who is 12-0, so Arum would probably do that one, if Chenko can starve back down for a catchweight at 126and Gary Antuanne is a Super-lightweight who is 7-0, so Asking Chenko to bulk up to 140 or so would not be unreasonable. If he wins all three he'll be on the downward slide, and Gary Allen should be a pro by then...
Jr would never take the rematch. He talks the talk, but he knows a rematch would be an even more one-sided beatdown than the first fight was. He knows he got whooped and he will never get over the loss (his words).
Gary Russell Jr. seems to be butthurt when people asking anything related to Lomachenko to him. Either he is irritated that people ask so many questions about this or he still can't accept that his only loss so far is the one when his ass getting whooped. Nope. There won't be any rematch. It's obvious.
Lomachenko's body assault in that fight was the greatest display of body punching that I have ever seen.
That would generally lead to a stoppage, wouldn't it? I think the main issue with a rematch is that GRJ just doesn't seem to like to fight, and never gets in the ring until his mandatory is due.
