    Who you guys got? Is Crawford too big I haven't checked their heights and reach etc but with Lomas skill level and Crawfords ability to adjust this is the best fight from a boxing purist stand point.

    They are pretty much virtually the same size with Crawford having a little bit of a reach advantage. But with guys like mikey lurking around I'd say Loma vs any of those 2 would be superfights.

    Mikey at one time was looked at as one of the best fighters in the lower weightclasses from 126 to 130 before he became inactive. If he beats Dejan I think that puts him back(arguably) in the P4P talks, or close to the top 10 imo.

    I think Loma would smoke mickey Garcia he has taken to many years off to compete with loma at this point.

    Mickey struggled abit in his last few fights but I'll be impressed if he manages to beat Dejan, I don't put in the Loma and Crawford talks though

    That's a tough one. I've seen mikey train in person several times at my son's old gym P-TOWN boxing club in Perris Ca., and he stayed sharp in the gym and sparred several rounds with good locals like Hector Serrano and Saul Rodriguez which showed in his fight with Rojas. He's a superb counter puncher and has a great boxing brain. It would be a tit 4 tat fight imo.

    Yeah, mikey was at top of the world with the elite fighters, and it's normal for him to have to rebuild his career and get the fans respect again after being out of the ring for so long. But the dejan fight is the first step back, to establish himself as a top elite fighter like he was regarded before his inactivity. Mikey would pose major problems for Loma imo. No doubt.

    What you mean? Loma is 5'7 and Crawford is 5'8 with a little bit of reach advantage and that's about it. Unless you count their body frames in which Crawford has wider shoulders, but other than that I think they're pretty close to equal in size.

    He was getting caught abit too much with rojas but I guess he was still rusty. You think he stops Dejan and yeah when he stopped fighting he had some good scalps on his resume

    I think it's possible for mikey to stop Dejan late. Dejan can be overly aggressive at times and that plays into Mikeys greatest strengths which is his counter punching. I know Dejan is dangerous and has some good skills along with being a southpaw, but mikey can crack so I do think it's a high possibility. But we will see, i think dehan can crack too, but that's a great fight and a great card all together!!

    Crawfords too big. I bet if they stood side by side you would notice a big size difference, I mean they could fight but I would favour Crawford.
