    “I don’t think Lomachenko should be pound-for-pound. Lomachenko shouldn’t be pound-for-pound. I don’t think he’s a pound-for-pound fighter.

    “Vasiliy Lomachenko, he know he got a gift. He don’t have the hand speed that I have, you know, have the boxing ability, the ring generalship and IQ that I got. He got a little seasoning, but he, overall, he really can’t f--k with me. He got a gift. He fought a dehydrated version, the lowest [possible] version of Mr. Gary Russell Jr.

    “You know, and it was a split-decision fight. And he got [the nod]. And it was a knockdown in the fight that wasn’t even called, you know, so I mean, that’s neither here or there. But I plan to move up to 135. He’s at 135. I definitely would like that fight again, you know, fully hydrated. You know what I’m saying?

    “I feel like I’m one of the best things out here. I don’t think no one can compete against me. You know, I had one hiccup in my career because I was young. You know, I was young, and I wasn’t as smart as I am now. You know, if I was as smart as I am now when I fought Vasiliy Lomachenko, I wouldn’t have cut the weight. You know, I had to lose like 5½ pounds [as the weigh-in approached].

    “I wouldn’t have cut that weight the way that I did in the sauna and all that other stuff. I wouldn’t have cut that weight. I woulda just let them fine me. I woulda beat that ass and I just wouldn’t have got the title, you know, like [Orlando] Salido did. You know, but I wasn’t educated enough, you know, at the time to be able to think to do that. But it is what it is.”

    One of the most beautiful displays of body punching that I have ever seen. I give credit to Gary for surviving. He must have been pissing blood for weeks.

    Gary, mate, that fact that it was an MD and not a UD was the only gift. So stop looking it in the mouth.

    I assume he considers himself a p4p talent :cbiggrin:

    Russell Jr is nothing special. Average boxer with fast hands.

    Russell's the one who got a gift with the MD.

    Lomachenko thoroughly outboxed him.

    Context is important. This interview was recorded after Gary Russell Jr graduated with honours from the Deontay Wilder school of excuses. Registering impressive scores in both deflection skills and delusional bull****, Gary is looking forward to following in the footsteps of the school's founder, Deontay Wilder telling this reporter:

    'So far I'm only employing the most basic level of excuses. 'He got a favourable decision, I was suffering from weight cutting etc. Now I've graduated however I'm looking forward to using more of the advanced excuses that we've studied. For instance I've got a whole team I can blame as well as people who were in the audience that night. Then there's the costume, weight, composition of the fibres in the fabric etc. Finally when I get my masters I'll be in a position to use the most advanced excuses including position of the planets, ambient temperature of the east side of Kyoto, the viscosity of the oil in my car and the changes coke a cola made to their formula in 1992 and the negative impact that had on my 4 year old self.'

    At time of going to press, Russell JR had expanded his argument, contending that Lomachenko shouldn't be regarded as P4P because Milli Vanilli faked their records, Kylo Ren had killed Han Solo and lemons were yellow.

    What's he trying to say here ?
    That Lomachenko isn't pound-for-pound ?

    That horse-toothed leprechaun ran his big mouth endlessly before the fight disrespecting Loma with zero provocation from Loma's side, got his ass paddled something rotten by a 1-1 Loma on his own soil with a home ref and three home judges, one of whom inexplicably scored it a draw even though Loma beat his ass like an abusive father, then after Loma harvested his dwarf soul and put it up for auction he refused to give him any credit whatsoever, lied though those tombstone-size gnashers of his about being dehydrated, even concocting a tale about working with a new S&C for the first time for the fight who FTR he tried to scapegoat for his loss, only for said S&C to fire back a week later saying that he'd actually been working with him for many years which was corroborated by an old article about GRJ where the S&C was interviewed in it too.

    Strange how he didn't look remotely dehydrated before or during the fight or even at the final bell after getting his ass taken to slick school and thoroughly beaten and outclassed on his own soil and Loma literally playing the piano on his ribs for 12 rounds with an absolutely withering and sublime body assault. Liar liar your pants are on fire.

    Gary Russell Jr: Despite fighting Lomachenko in June 2014 and losing a majority decision to him in Lomachenko’s third pro fight, Russell doesn’t think the man who beat him can beat Rigondeaux. “He fought a watered-down version of Gary Russell,” Russell told FloydHype.com

    “The physical state that I was in, I didn't feel as though I was able to shadowbox for 12 rounds and for Vasyl Lomachenko to not be able to stop that fight and for it to still be a [majority] decision fight speaks volumes ... I honestly feel as though Rigondeaux will win the fight.”

    In case Howard Stern ever needs a replacement Gary The Conqueror, that he can also call Ta Ta Toothy. GRJ's the man or the job.:D

    If they fight again Russell likely gets KOed.

    Loma is on another planet from this guy. Russell has been coddled and protected his whole career. There is a reason why.

    Lomachenko is P4P the best fighter of this generation.

    I remember being shocked that Lomachenko absolutely and utterly dismantled him effortlessly.
