    I can see Hearn’s plan a mile off.

    Hearn has a shortage of PPV matches right now and SKY will be asking what's next

    It wont do too badly but its a downgrade to previous years offerings

    @Jürgen may buy it though ;)

    Campbell isn't very likeable, I and others I have spoken to just can't take to him for some reason.

    that knockout didn't look brutal, it was just beautiful.

    it reminded me of the old kung-fu film called shogun's assassin, where the hero kills a rival and while he's dying he says "your technique is magnificent."

    Agreed.

    I have NEVER saw a triple jab like that.

    Best Boxer of all time, I reckon. He is absolutely immense.

    For me the most frustrating thing about this was Crolla's just happy to be there attitude to the whole thing, mirroring that of Rocky Fielding a few months back when he turned up for the payday against Alvarez in a fight that he could have stood a chance in had he used his height and reach to his advantage as opposed to standing there like a dopey idiot and getting caught with shots to the body

    Knew Crolla would be battered obviously but thought he'd last longer than three rounds. Realistically, that's all he lasted.

    Lomachenko is unreal. That footwork, the angles he throws shots from. The shots are so short you think there's nothing on them but they're actually stinging, hard shots that rattle his opponents.

    Can't think of many, if any, who fought like Loma. Somebody please throw names in.

    I agree, I think it's hard to think of anybody who fought or fights like Lomachenko, I think he is actually one of a kind.

    He is certainly not the first to use a triple jab. I think he takes elements of several great fighters. The fact he was allowed to get of his jab off in that style really showed the gulf in class between the opposition. Loma is a showman but he is vulnerable Linares had him on the deck albeit momentarily.

    Wtf was the ref doing starting the final count. Crolla was well and truly done at that point.
