Loma v Crolla

Been away for a week, so much tripe to catch up on.

This whole card was awash with mismatches, it was painfully dull. Always happy to watch Loma but may as well have just watched him shadow box. For all this talk of Crolla possibly being able to use his size and Gallagher referenced as 'a great tactician', Crolla offered absolutely sod all. Backed up to the ropes instantly and picked apart. Yeah, there's a huge gulf in class there but I didn't see the 'bravery' that Crolla is predictably being labelled with in the way he was fighting. It was just a smaller version of Canelo-Rocky - over matched brit happy to pick up his pay check. And that's fine really, but just call it for what it is.

Had no issue with Reiss either. Standing 8 count...it kinda did look like the ropes held him up a little although waving the fight off would have been perfectly fine. People are only bothered about Reiss starting the count for the KO because the Sky commentary mentioned it. He counted to what, 2 or 3 before waving it off? He was the guy in the middle for the Wilder-Fury fight, so was fine to do so IMO. If Crolla shouldn't have been there in the 4th then you need to look at this corner.

TL;DR may God guide anyone who bothered staying up for that.
