    I think Russell had a big ego and when a third fight Lomachenko beat him it took the luster off his shine. I don't think he has had the desire since then.

    I wonder how long Russell can go just doing the bare minimum in title defenses, its an interesting case

    Massive disappointment. It's damaging to boxing that guys are allowed to milk a title like that. He should have been stripped long ago.

    He got butchered by Loma, I don't understand how that could be a draw or even that close.

    I do hope he ends up in another big matchup or two, he should have that left in him.

    He's probably the best featherweight since Lomachenko left, which is a shame that his career has turned out this poorly.

    Controversial?

    **** I forget what round but I almost expected the ref to give a standing g 8 or stop it

    Best not even to talk about this guy. What a total waste of talent.

    The only thing controversial about the Loma fight was that one of the judges somehow scored it a draw?

    The debate is centred around how many rounds he got schooled :lol:

    The only controversial aspect of that Loma fight was the one scorecard that had it a draw which was very much in the favour of GRJ.
