Comments Thread For: Joshua Gives Campbell Firm Advice To Shock Lomachenko

[Jab jab boom]

Somebody who got whooped by a fat snickers eating 12-1 underdog has no place for giving advice on how to beat Loma.

It's like parents who tell their children that they are better than others and will achieve anything they want. When those kids grow up and realize that they are no different from the herd and get no special treatment, their bubble shatters and leave them depressed.

Idk, he's, tall and has pretty fast hands, but what else? Not a huge puncher and pretty damn basic. The biggest deficit here though seems to be his feet. Loma will be 10 steps ahead of him.

He actually has decent power in his left hand. Enough to keep fighters honest anyway. Not a concussive puncher but you wouldn’t wanna eat too many of them.

Don’t get me wrong, i agree with you for the most part but i don’t think he’s basic at all. He’s not a dancer, but you don’t have to be flash. Campbell has a good ring IQ and good judgement of distance and timing.

Not saying he’s some elite fighter, but he’s not a basic fighter like Crolla. He has some attributes that can serve him well in the fight. I don’t expect him to win.

I’m a Loma fan but we’ve seen fighters can be competitive with him, he’s not invincible, and i think Campbell has the attributes to give him a decent fight, like Pedraza and Linares did for a while.

If he doesn’t believe he’s gonna win by now he’s not gonna believe it, once loma opens up in the 3rd he’ll fall to pieces

I think he's very basic. Throws 90% 1-2 combinations. His hooks are semi-cuffing shots, no rotation; all of his power comes from above the waist. He's got a decent KO record so far, but KO's drop off precipitously at the elite level. He won't get many KO's at the championship level and he won't bother Loma too much even if he lands. I give him credit for going to the body, but I just don't see him doing that well on a guy like Loma.

Well i guess we’ll find out tomorrow. I fully expect Loma to win, i just think Campbell is a bit better than some think and may give a good account of himself.

That said, it’s not going to surprise me if he gets blown away either. Not because he isn’t good though, because of who he’s facing.
