Anthony Crolla is a top Lightweight

Off the top of my head I can't think of another non-title holder in the division with a stronger streak than Crolla's pair of wins over Burns and Yordan. People can't complain about him getting a title shot when none of the other contenders have a better argument

He is somewhere in top 5, probably because that coward Garcia run away to welterweight to sell his 0.

He is a decent lightweight and a reasonable title challenger but Loma is pfp top 1 or 2 so Crolla gets his ass soundly kicked most likely.

This. I like Crolla and he's earned my respect down the years, but this fight will be very one sided.

This is a garbage fight. If this was anyone other than Loma or a few select other NSB favorites you guys would all post it was garbage and not find ways to justify it.

It's perfectly fine for Loma and 97G to waste their primes taking garbage fights. Meanwhile young guys in their early 20s are getting shat on for not fighting killers back to back to back

Yeah. Some of the comments surrounding him have been very disrespectful, hes not some bum.

Because Loma didn't have to take this fight to keep his title as Crolla is
his mandatory? He wanted to unify with Commey in his goal to become undisputed, do you not support that? Commey is the one who pulled out with an injury

Crolla isn't a bum but it's not an interesting fight in the slightest. The criticism Loma has gotten for fulfilling a mandatory is more harsh than what I've seen for certain other fighters facing lower ranked, lesser credentialed, lesser talented fighters.

The best we can hope for is that Loma puts on a show and then we can look forward to Commey next for another belt.
