russell will learn from this and be back.

well, loma may have more depth, but his win toniglht was helped by the fact that he was clearly the bigger, stronger guy... the size differential was definitely a factor in his ability to absorb russell's shots and be effective with his punches.

 

OK, i admit i was not that impressed with loma really...you could say that russell was landing at a low percentage, but at least he was punching. loma's output was very low, throughout but especially in the early and middle rounds. loma took whole rounds off at a time...seemed like he gasses easy. for get stupid a99 steve farhood...I scored it like this.

rd 1 loma
rd 2 GRJ
rd 3 GRJ
rd 4 GRJ
rd 5 loma
rd 6 GRJ
rd 7 loma
rd 8 GRJ
rd 9 GRJ
rd 10 Loma
rd 11 loma
rd 12 loma

6 rounds to 6. I think the difference is, the judges gave loma most of the early rounds...even so, GRJ faded in rds 11 and 12 which had no business doing, and which is what really lost him the fight.

 

what's your source for this?

 

lol...i don't see GRJ as a bum at all. he may not be the most complete or talented guy out there, but with some good coaching and matchmaking he'll be back. he has better speed than loma. he's quicker and has a good chin and landed some good counters on loma when loma wasn't running away from him. he actually outlanded loma in the last four rounds, unlike what compubox says. but he came up short in the final two rounds against an opponent who was clearly physically bigger and more technical. he

 

that's not what i heard... I i heard them say loma was quite a bit bigger than GRJ on fight night... when in the broadcast did they say the weights?

 

lol...all i did was ask a question, fella. no need to get indignant. if they showed it, they showed it...what i'm saying is, lomachenko was clearly the bigger man in the ring and it showed. it's not like he outclassed GRJ... his main advantage was the fact that he's the bigger guy.
