    This mans movement and defense is uncanny! Unbelievably slick. Amazed.

    Lets see him beat a proven fighter.

    Russell looks like he has no power, comes forward in straight lines and his arms are short as hell.

    Lomo looks good... I am starting to wonder about his power tho.

    I actually think he has a lot of cleaning up to do with his style. Too much wasted energy

    Against cans maybe because he looked like Paulie out there tonight... no hope to even hurt Lomo

    The way Lomachenko maintains defensive integrity during his combinations is rare. Russell has exceptional handspeed and had a brutal time trying to counter him cleanly.

    Sorry for misunderstanding. I was saying that Loma appears to have far above average punching power.. GGH just average

    So it is your opinion that Loma was beaten by Salido? Some feel Loma was robbed

    he lost fair and square and is not even close to being a Willie Pep, please.

    You however have every right to overrate and overhype this victory. The reality is however he is not yet even in the shadow or done a damn thing to even be compared to an ATG like Pep.
