but when Loma was asked about it after the Rigondeaux fight, he said Russell doesn't really want the fight. In the aforementioned Russell interview, he said that since no one wants to see him at 126, it's time to move up to 130 and "bully some of these bigger guys." Lomo is now talking about moving up to 135 tho. His next fight is supposedly against Pacquiao at 140, which is just a stupid fight imo.

Anyway tho, Russell probably will have to move up to get some fights. I'm sure Gervonta Davis, Tevin Farmer, Berchelt, Merchado, Ogawa would all step in with him.
