[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Earlier this year ar Staples Center in Los Angeles, Anthony Crolla was dominated and wiped out by way of a brutal fourth round knockout at the hands of Vasiliy Lomachenko.

Crolla is a humble dude.

Highest quality?

Campbell is a B class fighter, being generous.

Linares schooled Campbell easily.

This is another Cherry pick and mismatch to Loma.

Another easy win.


Gold medal?

That means sh.it in the pros.

Joshua won a gold medal and Ruiz JR destroyed him brutally

Pro boxing is another sport

And Campbell is just another B class fighter without nothing special

He is not durable, he is not powerful, he is not a good puncher, he is not Smart, he does not have good defense

He does not have a chance to beat Lomachenko

And he does not know how to put pressure

Let me guess Crolla, he has balls?

[Corelone]

The only guy who did worse than Crolla was.. who did worse? Nobody did worse than Crolla! If Campbell can't better that, UK boxing is in trouble.

Loma is gonna body Campbell in front of his home crowd. Campbell is a good fighter but his only fight against an elite fighter, he was outclassed by Linares & somehow almost got a SD & lost to that French guy he beat recently. I can't see this ending well for him. Hopefully Loma is healthy. Seems like injuries are starting to catch up with him a bit lately.

Loma is going to beat the brakes off another uk domestic level fighter....who’s next from Hearn for Lomachenko? Sam Eggington? Ted Cheeseman? Carlos Takam? Derek Chisora?

Poor Crolla. He is now the yardstick for all mismatches.

Campbell by KO or Loma wins. Campbell is a slow starter sometimes and if he’s mistiming shots being peppered from all angles, it won’t be too different to Crolla.

Somehow I don't think boxing long is the way to beat Loma... a volume puncher with an iron chin and a pressure style a la Margarito would've done better. Somebody relentless enough not to be discouraged by Loma's angles, willing to spend twice the energy to cut corners and trap Loma in corners. You can't outbox or outspeed Loma, only out-tough him.

I said it before the Crolla/Loma fight - Only way for Campbell to win is to do something weird or unusual that Loma has never seen before. Like Fury did against Klitchsko. Boxers train for hours but they get comfortable fighting what's in front of them.

Think of someone like Michael V Page. Not naturally a boxer - but his style and the speed he closes distance would give any boxer trouble for a few rounds until they figured it out. That style isn't sustainable over 12 rounds but if you can knock the other guy out early....
