    There are suckers born everyday...and many of them somehow find themselves registered at ESB.
    Watch Russell's jab. It will be a thing of beauty.

    Can't wait until GRJ Chin gets exposed. It is terrible according to several people that have sparred him. He has a Glass Jaw. Which, is why he has been coddled and fought nobodies. Loma has a better resume with only two fights :lol::rofl

    If he uses his jab a lot then he's in even bigger trouble than I think he is. That thing is too predictable and his short arms won't allow him to get anything off behind it. This is a very very bad fight for GRJ, I can't picture in anyway how he can have some success.

    Fat Dan Rafael discussed it in his chat a few weeks ago. Said Russell's Chin is known as being horrendous.

    A jab is bad?

    I guess that is why Loma's jab was MIA against Saildo. :think

    If GRJ has a bad chin he could be in trouble but I will have to see it tested before judging. This fight will tell us a lot about both men.

    I don't personally agree with dealt's highlighted part because I think there's quite small number of things that Lomachenko needs to fulfil his potential in the pro ranks, but they are important. For all we know, Lomachenko's team may not have even taught him some of those things. If Lomachenko does these easy things, Loma is truly one of the GOATs on a H2H level, but if he doesn't then what can we do about it..

    The jab isn't going to work with Lomachenko in particular. Gary's jab is not even that good anyway, doesn't really land, and it's going to be swallowed up and misdirected by Loma's movement - Loma himself doesn't really operate with the jab and doesn't rely on it to move

    NTM, he's gonna be throwing it while backing up.

    His only hope is that he can frustrate Lomachenko by running from him, and catch Lomachenko lunging or resetting.

    Maybe the boos from the crowd will make Loma want to put on a show at which time GRJ can use his superior inside handspeed to score points, before tying up and going back to running.

    Just a thought:think:think:think......I got Lomachenko being cool and collected for 4-5, cutting off the ring, mixing it up inside when he does catch up to GRJ, then finally putting a solid R hook on GRJs chin on his way out of a break, and KHTFO.:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup
