    Since the fight does take place in Campbell's backyard this could mean that if this were to go the distance the judges may give the fight to Campbell if Campbell actually performs much better than expected. Not saying that Loma will lose because I expect him to win but anything can happen and I would not be surprised if Campbell gives a much tougher fight for Loma. Let's not forget that Campbell is an Olympic gold medalist who also has the height and reach advantage to help him.
    Do you see this as a huge upset of the year if Loma were to actually lose to Campbell?

    Wouldn’t be upset of the year, Ruiz already did that. Loma is a straight up beast but a beast that looks vulnerable as he rises up in weight. Also he has a loss on his record so it’s no biggie

    Easy. Some have said AJ/Ruiz but HW has that one punch/chaos factor going for it more than the lower weight classes, the champs are usually more beatable and prone to being upset. Lomachenko is p4p with sublime generation skill and Campbell while solid is a few notches below. It's a solid fight and Campbell might do better than a lot expect but Loma's class will eventually turn it into a 1 sided fight. I wouldn't be surprised if it shaped up to be similar to the Linares fight minus Loma going down.

    Loma is a "robbable" fighter who's had more cards closer than they should've been than he's had cards too wide in his favor.

    He can't afford to give up more than 3 rounds if it goes the distance. I know that sounds paranoid, but that's how I'd approach it. Campbell is a full sized lightweight who can box so, combined with the judging advantage, it's a decent enough stay busy fight that he'll need to focus on.

    Regarding AJ, that's what makes boxing so interesting. Here you have an Adonis fighting a fat Mexican guy, where most people feel he has no chance (myself included) and he stops AJ. That happens in very few sports. A boxer might be a beast in 7 out of 8 areas but it's that one area that could be his Achilles heel. AJ is awesome but he has a weak chin.

    I believe Campbell will step his game up , he will be in there with one of the very best ...however ...
    I put Lomo skillwise levels above all others , after his domination of Rigo, causing him to quit . I hold Lomo in very high regard ..
    I cant actually see Campbell winning a round .

    If Campbell wins it's probably by some robbery of the year like scenario.
    It's possible though.
