    Heck Even broner hugs his opponent it's disrespectful not to atleast touch gloves or hug after especially if you won the fight

    Didn't GRjr say Lomachenko was a "stepping stone" before this fight?

    No, there is nothing expected about it nor anything weird or eyebrow-raising if a boxer fails to do it.

    Sometimes it happens, and people say "Oh, isn't that nice" - which is more reaction than it would get were it some commonplace expected convention. (like the handshake line at the end of a hockey series, for instance)

    You can clearly hear Loma say Russell's name in the postfight interview on Showtime but for some reason the translator left whatever he said about him out.

    EDIT: Sorry, someone had mentioned it. Missed that.

    What the **** are you saying, stop making things up, he wasn't unrespectful, he touched him after the fight and he has been even too good considering the Thaliomide man's obsession with his b@lls.

    But hey, maybe he just wanted to check how bigger they are than his ones.

    No doubt! And look what he got in return from the judges, particularly that inconceivable draw.

    Him and his father said much worse than that but now we are supposed to cry for them because Loma did not prostrate himself post fight.

    Loma was probably still pissed off about the low blows by GRJr.

    So? I'd rather the fighters stand by what they say.

    Fighters say things to sell the fight and make it more interesting take the Garcia Judah fight for example even they showed each other respect after the fight
