Russell is still blaming his former strength and condition coach for the loss, the guy he said they drafted in for that fight which was the ''first time they'd worked with him'' even though the S&C said that was total BS and was corroborated in an interview he gave (the S&C) back in 2012 not after event.

Gary Russell Sr.

Lomachenko was a real tough fight but what people dont know is my son was in a sauna three days in a row before the fight, each after a long training session, Russell Sr. was quoted as saying. He had a strength and conditioning coach for the first time in his career.

Marvin Thomas said hed also been with Russell Jr. for multiple fights, something corroborated by a late 2012 interview Thomas did with boxing website Ringside Report.

Russell contends he was so physically depleted during their June 2014 fight in Carson, California, he couldnt have envisioned shadow-boxing for 12 rounds, let alone competing against a championship-caliber opponent that long. Lomachenko beat Russell by majority decision in that 12-rounder for the then-vacant WBO featherweight title.

The 27-year-old Russell (26-1, 15 KOs), who since has won the WBC featherweight championship, wants nothing more than an opportunity to avenge his lone professional defeat. The Capitol Heights, Maryland, native is 100-percent confident the result of their rematch would be very different than their first fight.

SC: "Tell me a little about Lomachenko, he gets so much praise. Is he everything we're told he is, is he as good as advertised?"

GRJ: "No."

SC: "No?"

GRJ: "No. No. This is the reason why. In that particular fight, the scale in my entire training camp was off. When we got to the venue and checked our weight, we were five and a half pounds overweight. We had to lose five and a half pounds. You know how we lost that five and a half pounds? In the sauna. 30 minutes in, five minutes out. Another 15, 20 minutes in, five minutes out. 30 minutes back in. We attempted to try to rehydrate, get our energy and everything back, but everyone knows what you eat today doesn't help you out tomorrow.

"My energy level, everything was gone. If you pay close attention to that fight, my distance and range was off. When a lot of people talk about having mirages and stuff, they talk about mirages when it's hot outside, when you've drained all the fluid out of your body, and out of your brain, your mind is playing tricks on you, because the fluid is gone from your brain. That's what happened with Lomachenko. My distance and range was off. I was throwing shots he was clearly not in range for me to hit him with. I didn't think I'd be able to shadowbox 12 rounds, let alone fight 12 rounds. In that particular fight, he should have stopped me."
