Dream matchup : Terence Crawford vs Vasyl Lomachenko

Crawford is the bigger, badder man.
Lomachenko considered a career as a jockey.
Get real, If Crawford lost to Lomachenko at 140 he should retire in shame, go home and pistol-whip himself to death.

 

50/50 fight.

 

If the fight were to happen, it would be at 137 (Crawford's trainer says).
Lomachenko weighs 137 on fight night. Crawford is just too big. Either Loma UD or Crawford KO.

 

Its not fair Crawford is considerably bigger than Loma. You would have to pick Crawford by UD or late stoppage.

 

Just drain Crawford, this is a perfectly acceptable tactic in the world of business

 

Loma had trouble with a "bigger" Salido. I favor Crawford. Just look at Floyd for an example. His hardest fights were only against bigger opponents.

 

I can see a good argument for favouring Crawford (although it obviously depends on weight).

However, stylistically I'm not so sure it's a good matchup for Crawford, he's an excellent p4p-level boxer but doesn't bring the pressure / roughness that Salido did. And Lomachenko at the moment is probably the best technical boxer in the world. I'm not convinced myself whether it'd be a case of two top guys fighting = bigger guy wins (likely by KO), or whether it's a boxing match where I would not be surprised if Lomachenko's speed and technical ability got him a decision.

 

Crawford @ 140 is just too much for Lomachenko. To be honest, Loma doesn't even get by Garcia @ 135...

 

I agree with your point. And I do believe Crawford is very hittable and of course his skills don't match up with Lomas but Loma has some subtle weaknesses nobody likes pointing out or are not keen to them because they're on cloud nine ATM. He's passive. He waits to long to get going. Bud brings enough pressure and can easily win rounds for being busier.

Point number 2. Loma, I'm gonna have to say from what I've seen, doesn't like to get hit and becomes more passive after he gets hit. His footwork literally becomes "running" after I've seen him get hit. His waiting to let the round end stuff isn't going to happen against Crawford either. Crawford does have killer instinct and he will go out on his shield. He has longer reach. He doesn't tire. He also has the ability to turn it on like Loma. I think Bud definitely has this if he doesn't get too war torn which is what I'm sure Bob will be waiting for.

 

Don't wanna se this non-competitive mismatch.
Crawford is too big, too fast, too strong and skilled for Lomo resulting in Lomo looking like Postol, post fight.
Rather see Lomo Vs Garcia.

 

There is no either, or, fact is that Crawford is too big for Loma and would quite simply tear his ass up. Now Mikey and Loma would be interesting.

 

I have no real interest in this fight Crawford is too big imo. I'd much rather see Garcia loma which would be the much better fight.
