    I can't see him hearing the bell for the 5th round

    I can see it going the distance if I'm honest. Wouldn't be surprised if his corner pull him out midway through the fight though.

    Gonna have to disagree mate sorry Loma has made better boxers than Crolla quit on the stool. The Crolla/Gallagher tactic of walking forward with a high guard won't work against Lomachenko

    Crollas chin is decent and Loma isn't a big puncher. Crolla will keep going but as I said I wouldn't be surprised if they pull him out.

    Yeah Loma isn't a big puncher but I just think his footwork and angles will be too good for Crolla and he won't see the punishing shots coming. But we will see I suppose. Hope Crolla does well he's a nice bloke just think he will be outclassed

    He will 100% be outclassed but that doesnt mean he cant go the distance.

    I see him getting pulled out too. He’s too game for his own good. He’s worked his way in to a mandatory position and deserves his shot and pay day but there is a massive gulf in class between them (no disrespect to Crolla).

    True! But like you say if Joe doesn't pull him out before I think Loma will stop him in the 4th with a body shot

    especially when Loma is slapping his guard down and then lighting him up.

    I think he might make it to 7 or 8 purely because Loma isn't a concussive puncher. Gallagher should have his towel at the ready, Crolla has already had a major head trauma after he tried to stop those robbers, being in with someone like Loma after that doesn't seem like a good mix

    I think he gets stopped before the towel comes in.

    Can't see it lasting the distance, too big of a difference in class.
