    Off-topic, but I think Lomachenko should fight four times a year, to gain some more pro experience.

    I'd like to see him fight the winner of Gradovich-Selby or Mares if he beats Russell.

    Maybe 2-3 times, then. The point is, he should gain more pro experience.

    He's supposed to fight on the undercard of Mayweather-Pacquiao, so that should get him more exposure.

    Russell is talented, but Loma's just on another level.

    He had no gas in his tank from the start but he threw more power punches in the final three rounds than he did in all the others with the exception of the 6th when he equaled the amount he threw in the lowest of those last three.

    When asked if he thinks Loma is better than Gonzalez (asked before Russell had fought Gonzalez) Russell said this:

    ''I don't even think Lomachenko is the best guy I've faced up until this point'' :rofl

    What a monumental pr*ck this guy is.

    Listen from 3:55 onwards he doesn't want to give Loma any credit at all for schooling his stupid little stumpy dwarf ass.

    [YT]1EpHoaeF880[/YT]

    And listen to what he says when one of the media members says that this [becoming a world champion] is what he's been working for @ 0:48

    He says he never had an aspirations to become a world champion, that he only ever wanted to become an Olympian and bring back a medal. It was only after he failed to get a medal that he decided to turn pro because it was the only way he could pay back all the fans and people who had supported him for letting them down. Er.. he turned pro at 20. He could have fought in the next Olympics, the ones following that, or even the next ones. lol

    Exactly. It's funny seeing people who watched horrible 120p streams claim that Russell was dominated and the judges who gave Russell 4-6 rounds are clueless and DKSAB. :rofl

    Do the judges make mistakes? Sure. But when you have all three judges give one boxer between 4 and 6 rounds, then maybe no mistake has been made and the fight was not a total domination like some fans would make you believe?

    By the way, nice name OP :rofl

    Or maybe it was and all three judges had it too close still? That's hardly uncommon in boxing. Not a sound argument.

    Why do people talk to this cereal monotony guy? He's a poor troll, he contradicts himself constantly. It's the same poster (I forget the name) that was telling everyone how badly GRJ was going to dominate Lomachenko, before vanishing into thin air when the fight was over.

    GRJ just doesn't realise he has mental issues when it comes to the big stage. His Olympics... he was drained and passed out. His first title fight he was drained. He's been fighting TBA for so long because he's afraid of the big stage. To get in the ring with Gonzales he needed to have nothing to lose.

    After seeing that I want to see him fight Lomachenko again :yep
