Comments Thread For: Russell Blames Exhaustion For Lomachenko Performance

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Gary Russell Jr. has felt fresher and stronger in the days leading up to his second title shot than he did during the buildup before he lost to Vasyl Lomachenko nine months ago.

Russell believes the strength and conditioning program he followed in preparation for the Lomachenko match doomed him before he even set foot in the Stub Hub Center ring June 21 in Carson, Calif. The former American Olympian claims he was completely exhausted in the first round of a 12-round fight he lost to Ukraine’s Lomachenko (3-1, 1 KO) by majority decision.

Can't blame the guy for rationalizing the loss and sticking by himself but we all saw what happened. Totally outclassed. No conditioning program causes you to throw and miss that many punches.

Poor Russell, they should have called off the Lomo fight, Russell was so tired didnt have a full 12 hours of sleep.

The funny part is he was trying so hard in that fight, throwing punches but mainly missing, he looked fine.

[lolpz]

LMAO, didn't he throw like 1000 punches in that fight?

Goddamn, i can just imagine if he had enough energy what he could really do...russell is a ****ing beast.

Look at the punch stats I included, he threw more power punches in 10th 11th and 12th rounds then in any other rounds. Threw the most in the 12th round.
