Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Crolla Set For April 12 In Los Angeles, Avoid Purse Bid

[_Rexy_]

Thanks, man, and I respect your opinion. One of the cool posters here.

Without going back and watching, if I had to score it (I never score fights, although I know the rules well), I'd go with Loma 7-5 or 8-4.

7-5 even with the two KD’s? Damn man.

I’d be interested in comparing other cards with you though. Always interested in comparing other outlooks.

EDIT - nvmd. Reread and you said you don’t score fights lol

I should have explained more. I don't count knockdowns unless the fight is stopped, which by that time is a KO. I told you I don't follow the rules.

If you wanna add the KDs, then whatever number you get.

War Crolla! The Brits are coming!

I was tempted to say this too!
But, no, War Loma.

So are the people that were hating on Canelo for taking a tuneup in his last fight criticize Loma for this crap?

The thing that upsets me about this fight is that arum straight said that if the commey fight didn't happen that they'd fight someone other than crolla, but now arum is going back on his word. I don't blame Loma personally, I blame the wba for their horrible rankings and I blame arum for consistently lying, making bad fights, and screwing up good fights (like fury / Wilder rematch).

Damn Arum. What really pisses me off is how Loma's amazing skills are being wasted on this thing. The guy has the potential to be great and actually only has, IMO, a few great fights in him to display his craft. Arum is wasting it on REALLY low level competition. Screw the belts. Hook the man up with the best. It's not Commey. Crolla might be better than this guy actually.

Unfortunately politics screws up a lot of the good fights but I agree, they should b hooking him up with the best while they can. He's still technically at his peak but it's the downward side of his peak. He's gotta couple more years then it's gonna be time to pass the torch, so I wanna c him fight the best while he's still at the level to. I don't think he should move up tho, this is his ceiling in my opinion. Honestly I think he was best at 130 and should even consider taking some fights there.

I just don't wanna see another GGG. Wasted talent on bums.

Loma's ceiling is 130. He should catch Davis at 130 while he can. That's his best chance. 135 will favor Davis. We'll see.

That was only because no one would fight him. Everyone avoided him. The only people who stepped up was lemieux and Brook while everyone else was ducking. And since all the controversy with canelo I'm not even sure if he's gonna come back. Dave tiberi didn't after toney and with all the financial stuff he's going thru too it wouldn't surprise me if he retired.
