Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Crolla Ordered To Purse Bid on February 4

[BoxingIsGreat]

Crolla is absolute trashhhh i dont wanna see this fight. Waste of time. Has anyone ever seen crolla fight??? He makes malignaggi look like a hard puncher

I have and he ain't shit!

I don't see Crolla going two rounds with someone like Davis or Lopez. Why waste time? I'd prefer Loma to take some tough tune ups and acclimatize to the division more instead of this farce.

Fighting tough, strong journeymen at the level of Salido at the time Loma lost to him, would be more acceptable.

I mean it's a mandatory defense. Should he just vacate his belt? Not like this is some voluntary fight.

Yeah, he should vacate that garbage. We all know who the best in each division is. Loma should act as if he's above this shit.

Espn will probably win this purse bid imo

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Best wins are Walters Russell and Rigo but keep the hate up shows he’s got you shook.

Haha. That he does. Loma's ruining several lives on here. of course, they weren't worth much to start with, but winning is winning.

I see Loma taking this very easily and I'm predicting a TKO but hoping to see him in with better comp this year...

An objective post, as most of your posts are.

I'm one of the guys who thinks Loma is a very small man and shouldn't move beyond 135. I think his ceiling is 130, 135 is pushing it.

I predict Loma to keep struggling with regular 135bers, unless he can adapt to the weight fast. I'd rather that he moves back to 130, for maximum performance, but I don't like that either, because the lightweight division will catch fire soon, with many good fighters and champs moving up from 130.

The Cano example was just in protest of Crolla. Crolla? At this point? Really?

I wouldn't ask Loma to fight Cano. Not smart and not meaningful.

Ha ha. Crolla ain't a good fight at all, but it is probably the best chance I got to see Lomachenko live so I'm not 100% against it, though for entirely selfish reasons. But yeah, Loma's already a bit undersized at 135... only reason to go to 140 would be for a Superfight of some sort.

Like you say all the top dudes at 130 are young guys who will be moving up within the next year or two anyway so it's hard to if moving down makes much sense, but then Lomachenko's nearly 31 already and with that style I don't think he's wise to waste a year of his prime waiting for 'em.

Loma's gonna have to learn to box a bit more conservatively if he wants to last cos the speed and reflexes are gonna start to decline sooner rather than later.

Davis is ready and would smoke him.

Let Loma keep fighting bums like Crolla and Linares and see how it goes for him when he gets in the ring with Davis.

Tell Arum to make an offer for the fight. Don't they say Arum always does whatever Loma wants? Ask him to get you Davis.

Loma fought champs in his division in both cases! Hope we'll see the same from Tank.

Yup. Ashley Theophane just tweeted

“I must be the only one not surprised Cano knocked out Linares. Pablo Cesar Cano is the hardest puncher I’ve faced and I’ve fought Danny Garcia and Adrien Broner”

exactly...Pablo is a journey man but he has learnt a lot.

and it shows what I've been saying for years. There are no bums in this sport, just because you've never heard of someone doesn't mean they aren't going to come out and knock your head off.

Sure....Pacquiao lost some of his earlier fights in professional boxing but he learnt on the job and now he is a legend.

You are right !!!!
