Originally posted by BoxingIsGreat View PostNope. I don't care about any fighter's race, nationality, or region. I care about compelling fights.
According to fans, not corrupt belt orgs, if Loma is the number 1 at lightweight, Crolla is number 99. That's what the odds reflect: an utter mismatch. If the British can get excited about that, that's on them.
I'm a boxing fan, so I will most probably watch it, but wouldn't blink if I forget about it.
I see it as 70/30, mainly because of Loma's last two performances. We'll see.
FYI, Crolla is ranked in the top 10's. Ring has him #4, TBRB #7, your tried and trusted boxrec has him #3, ESPN has him #4 so not 99 like your personal biased agenda driven rankings. When did Tank fight someone in his own weight class as highly rated? What compelling fights is Tank trying to make? His promoter again openly admitted that are ducking a Loma fight and Loma is considered a terrible fighters so what's he trying to do? Washed up and **** to pieces Gamboa who got a total gift vs. Sosa?

Originally posted by BoxingIsGreat View PostYou can adhere to those rankings. I don't recognize any of the belt or media rankings. 100-1 odds don't reflect someone who is number 4 of anything. That's why these orgs are corrupt.
YOUR own rankings aren't foolproof because you've proven bias beyond belief. There has to be some reference and I think 3-4 independent media outlets not organizations are more reliable than a fanboy who's mad at a guy because he makes your favorite fighter look like a coward.

If you had 100 boxers, with Loma being #1, Crolla would be number 99. Only 1 person believes he can win, out of 100 people. I look at it that way. Crolla isn't good enough.
I don't buy the 99-1 though. I give Crolla 30%.

Originally posted by Jax teller View PostThat's the not best way to explain odds at all. If they had 100 fights Crolla would only be favoured to win one by the bookies but this still could mean it's because Lomas just too damn good not that Crollas poor.
I don't look at these odds as Loma being "too damn good." I look at lightweight as a dead division, with only Loma being the best. It's the same with almost all divisions in boxing. One top guy and a lot of prospects and pretenders.
