My Take: Response to a Lomachenko Fan

[BoxingIsGreat]

While Crolla was a mismatch, it was made because Commey got injured and pulled out. Crolla had only been stopped short of the distance once before in his career. He twice went the distance with Linares--remember Linares, the guy all the haters said was going to put an end to the Loma hype train? They needed a short notice replacement, and Crolla stepped up.

Like many have stated, if he fights Lopez, he'll school him and then be accused of cherry picking an inexperienced fighter. No one else is in a hurry to fight Loma, which should tell you something.

Those haters DKSAB. Linares was an average, OK boxer.

You are reasonable. I respect the real Lomachenko fans. I'm not that insane.

Crolla isnt even that bad, he was ranked 26 places higher than the guy crawford last fought he gave him problems. Loma made him look like a bum but he also made walters and rigondeaux look like bums. Not saying crollas amazing but people are talking as if he was rod salka.

True. No one had every took him out in four rounds before and put a one sided beating on him like that. It wasn't a great win, but like you said, it wasn't Rod Salka either and he was better than Liam Walsh or Fonseca. I would rate him about even with Cuellar.
