Comments Thread For: Crolla: If I Win, A Good Chance The Lomachenko Fights Happens

[AdonisCreed]

No one wants to see you fight Loma!! On the other hand you might be a decent tune up for Loma in between his fights that actually count

No tune up we want Loma vs Garcia !

If Lomachenko has to fight a British Lightweight it should be Luke Campbell not Crolla.

IMO thats the plan. Loma unifies the whole division in May and then fights Campbell for all the belts in England at the end of 2019. Loma will definitely fight in England at the end of next year.

I can see why Lomachenko might want to fight in the UK if he wanted to increase his exposure in what is a pretty hot market right now, but can't think of any UK opposition that could realistically hang with him.

I think I'd go with Campbell over Crolla too, but I guess it depends on who has the bigger following and would generate the biggest TV audience. If exposure in the UK is the name in the game, he needs to pick the bigger publicity draw. Not sure which of them that is.

There are no legacy fights or belts there for him, so only possible reason would be expanding his audience.

The only big fight in England is to defend all 4 belts against Campbell. 2 London Olympic Gold medalists fighting for the Undisputed Championship of the world. Thats marketable. Maybe we see another 2 London Olympic Gold medalists fighting each other at the end of next year. Joshua vs. Usyk .

This wouldn’t be competitive imo

I´m pretty sure Loma doesn´t even know who Crolla is - and doesn´t care. No disrespect to Crolla but it seems that Loma only wants unifications and real challenges. Crolla is neither.

Very true. Loma seems to want legacy and want to be the best. Signing to Matchroom would get him exposure in England and fighting in front of big crowds, but won't get him those big title fights he wants.

Let's not knock him for aiming high..
