    Right result, think he could've got the KO if he had really stepped on the gas.

    Campbell put in a great performance of skill and was gutsy but Loma was just better.

    I scored it 118-109.

    The scorecards were fine.

    Campbell put in a good effort, he's a very good fighter and I want to watch him again.

    Too many flurries, not enough substance from Loma.
    Had him still by 1-2-3 rounds, I thought judges were way off really but hey.

    Exactly my thoughts, I think some people just wanted Loma to lose so they looked for any excuse to give Luke a round, I still think Luke did tremedously well

    Good cards.

    The rounds were close but Loma won all but one or two.

    What match did you watch?
    No way Campbell won more than 4 rounds. And he suffer a KD.

    MMA tactics aside, Campbell did very, VERY well, and earned a fan in me. I thought he would get steamrolled, and instead he made it a competitive fight. Good on him.

    He may be UK #1 p4p. Just unlucky he happens to be in Loma's division. 140 is full of killers too so there are no easy options. Think he'll get a title at some point though, by hook or crook.

    Told you Campbell is a really skilled and talented fighter, a much improved one and his tactics and game plan were excellent tonight. The size difference was ridiculous and Campbell knew how to use it and he never faltered from using his advantages all night.

    Campbell 1.0 was good enough to win Olympic gold, World Amateur Silver, European gold, and push the hugely talented and highly skilled P4P ranked Linares right down to the wire and lose a razor-close decision despite hardly having had ideal preparation for the fight and now Campbell 2.0 just gave the P4P king a tough nights work. I guess that's all just a coincidence, right? lol

    Seems to me like every round that was close the judges simply gave it to Lomachenko by default rather than making it a 10-10 round.

    Campbell isn't a bum by any means, -- he's quite good, but I don't think he's good enough to justify all those issues he gave Loma.

    Loma just seems to be at so much of a size-disadvantage. Loma really can't go to 140 and I think he should go back to 130.

    I thought Campbell took the first round and 1-2 rounds after that. 10-2 or 9-3 for me. Nothing closer than that at all. 11-1 little wide for me. 118-110 or 117-111 would of been my card but despite the lopsided score that was a good fight. Campbell is really good and Loma lets be real is fighting in a division too big for himself. Which is good he is elite and challenging himself like few have
