    Lomachenko dealt with that vaunted hand speed really well.
    I thought that was supposed to be too much for him.
    What happened to that?:think
    :rofl

    I think beating a Olympic gold medalist, former champion, undefeated Gamboa who has beaten far better comp than Russell Jr. Is a much better win...

    Gamboa has proven he could beat some very good fighters and easily beat Salido who Loma struggled with and lost to...Gary is a good, skillful fighter but hasn't even proven he can beat any top fighters...

    It was a good win for Loma and he showed at times he was lazy with his very low work rate and didn't appear to have that killer instinct, at the same time he displayed great movement, an excellent body attack and overall great ring generalship...

    On the other hand crawford was perplexed by Gamboas speed and was hit with crisp hard punches, and couldn't get his power shots off early against an elusive Gamboa, but Terrance showed a good chin, showed a high ring iq and made a key adjustment switching to southpaw, he also unleashed a great body attack, superb counter punching and power...he scored 4 KD's and got a very expressive knockout...

    Loma's win was really good but win you can adjust and sweep the last 4-5 rounds against a dangerous elite fighter like Gamboa it was a great win, Gamboa is a better fighter than Gary Imo and would have destroyed Gary at 126....

    Crawford has the more significant and better win...

    I always pick Gamboa to beat GRJ so my vote goes to Crawford..... Another factor is, because it was a stoppage!!! I want to see fight provodnikov next or Algeieri! War Crawford!!

    all 4 of those guys are beast and showed what BOXING is all about.

    lomachenko is boxing master
    gary russell jr is boxing master
    crawford boxing master
    gamboa boxing master

    gamboa off for a yr and then moving of 135 was to much for him against a fighter like crawford. russell jr was fighting bums then fought the coldest the amateur fighter ever. at the end of the day lomachenko and crawford might be better fighters then gary and gamboa.

    Yet there were plenty of people on here and other places picking GRjr to be too much for Lomachenko.

    Bloody hell he's reappeared the minute a black fighter wins, where have you been hiding :rofl

    I was more impressed with Lomochenkos performance as he was fighting another undefeated top 10 fighter.

    Was impressed with Crawford but I think Gamboa needs to drop a weight division and plus he's only had 2 fights in 2 years. Not good perpetration for a title fight against a top 3 fighter in the 135 division.

    Gamboa has a win over Loma's daddy and more experience than Russell, but idiots still say Loma.

    Gamboa was coming after a year long lay off (he fought twice in two years) and fought two divisions above his natural weight. So.....
