Loma is going to not only win, but embarrass Russell. Loma lost to Saliodo cuz Loma was being too nice, and he almost finished Salido. And 1 judge had Loma win, which I agreed. Loma has great hand speed as well. There is a reason why the WBO is giving him another chance to win the title.
I don't really think Loma is going to lose, I actually think it's gonna be competitive was just saying how I felt about guys jumping in too deep too quick.
Here's an interview I read with Pete Rademacher a while back,
"BoxingInsider.com: You dropped Patterson in round two, what were you thinking when you saw him
hit the canvas?
Pete Rademacher: I made one mistake in that fight; I knocked him down and made him mad. I was excited at first and then I thought STAY DOWN. But he got up and my amateur conditioning began to show and he KO’D me in the 6th.
BoxingInsider.com: Do you wish now you would have had a few fights before the title shot?
Pete Rademacher: I think that had I been ten rounds once or twice in my life that I could have beat Patterson. Mechanically I was solid; I just didn’t have the stamina and endurance."
I wouldn't expect Dawson to get paid much on an off TV undercard, but I would expect him to come in on weight. If he loses to Blades, that's gonna be that at fighting at a high level.
And what the hell was Guerrero complaining about after the Floyd fight with his contract? Who wouldn't want to make $1M for fighting Kamegai, that's insane..
