Comments Thread For: Gallagher Confident Crolla Will Make it a Fight With Lomachenko

[Roberto Vasquez]

This is like going back to the old days of good plucky British fighters who try hard but always lose against the best.

Crolla can't go in there "to do his best", because he will get beat no matter what. He needs to risk everything and have a world class plan. Show Lomanchenko something he hasn't seen before. You know, literally run around the ring. Or fake a knockdown and pretend to be unsteady on his feet. Then throw a haymaker when Loma goes in to finish him. I'm sure I read Bob Fitzsimmons did that once. Only way he can win - I'm telling you. But yeah Crolla won't do that - he will think he has a chance if he does his best.

I would put this on a par with Danny Garcia vs. Rod Salka. Crolla can do the basics well, but gets hit too much even against fringe/Continental level opponents. Lomachenko is an A* fighter. Crolla is a C+ or maybe a B- on his best day.
