    Definitely not a bad Lightweight, but compared to his opponent he is... it's all relative of course.

    He MAY go the distance and give Loma some moments IF he prepares properly.

    I’d agree. Crolla is a solid veteran with a handful of respectable wins under his belt. He’s rated either top 10 or even top 5 by ESPN, Ring, and TNBR.

    The obvious problem is he’s simply outclassed here and has very little chance of winning. That says more about Lomachenko though.

    Being he’s a mandatory meant we’d see this sooner or later and with a lot of the top guys at 135/130 not currently available we get this one out of the way while the other top guys sort things out.

    Crolla is a domestic to Euro level guy, in a weak division. It's a joke of a fight.

    It's a very good stay busy fight for Loma.

    Boxing politics define the landscape so in the general course of things this isn't bad at all.

    Pedraza, Crolla, Comney is a great stretch for 2019. If they can somehow jam the Teofimo fight in during december then that's golden.

    looking forward to this fight on Sat.

    I don’t mind stay busy fights as long as fighters are ACTIVE
    If they are fighting 3-4 times a year then a stay busy is ok

    He's not that good to be honest. I would favor Easter Jr. Campbell and Commey to beat him there.

    Well he was world champion. That is the litteral definition of world level. He might not be elite, but he is world level

    People forget this is a mandatory fight....

    You either fight Crolla or give up the belt. Loma would never ever agree to that.
