    That's all I'm interested in, which is why the Mares fight for Davis is depressing.

      We were talking about the potential Crolla fight, where does that fit into the pursuit of being undisputed? Does Crolla have some kinda bogus belt?

      Are you impressed with Loma at 135? How about tonight?

        No but Crolla is a mandatory for the WBA belt which Loma holds.



        Tonight he looked good, not great. It was almost like he was impatient.

          I think that's because of the weight he couldn't do the things he could do at his proper weight class (130).

            You know, I think Loma handles 135 well, but man, he does not look like he did at 130 where he looked unbeatable. However, I think we can agree that he's choosing to test himself and be great by fighting at the higher weight?

                Yeah, he's trying to test himself, but we also need to look at the quality of the fighters he has struggled with at 135, so far. Doesn't really say or do much for him.

                I'm reading that he might fight even a worse can in Crolla. I don't know man.

                    Yesterday the argument was Loma at 135 would beat a prime Floyd Mayweather, even his promoter was on TV saying that..... That guy in the ring last night would not beat a prime Mayweather.

                      I'd still side with Loma.
