Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Crolla Official For April 12, Staples Center, ESPN+

Oh man, I dunno about that I am happy Manny is fighting but he needs to be carefully managed right now, all this Thurman or Spence talk is BS. Loma at 140 would be too much too.

I would much rather see Pacquiao vs. Loma (or Tank) @ 140, than to see him fight Thurman or Spence! BTW, I think Manny vs. Loma or Tank @ 140, are 50/50 fights! I think Thurman and Spence would hurt Pacquiao!

The plan for Loma was to fight Richard Commey (but he got injured) and Crolla is the WBA mandatory (they were threatening to strip Loma of the title), so what exactly is your problem and who's to blame for it?

Irony is if Lomachenko got stripped, it would mean absolutely nothing to him or his star power. The only thing it would hurt would be the sanctioning body.

Couldn't agree more Bronx, Thurman and Spence hurt Manny but what upsets me is they aren't fighting each other, throw Crawford in there too, the fans are being ripped off at 147. Should Manny go out on his shield against one of those guys it would be a hell of a statement. Kind of like when Hopkins took on Kovalev at 49!
