    easy work for Loma (but who isn't ATM) would sell out a Stadium in the UK (Luke Campbell vs Tommy Coyle sold out Craven Park) and would be great for building up Loma vs Linares
    both Loma and Campbell are Olympic Gold medalists and Campbell is always in entertaining fights and has never been stopped as a pro

    The Matrix vs Cool Hand would be a great fight

    Of course the Rubix Cube of boxing Loma wins but can he do it in more style than Linares?

    I'm not sure the American audience would be interested in a fight like this at all. Especially with the time difference.

    Why not, then. Sometimes I feel like UK public would appreciate Loma more.

    It's not a bad fight tbh. Luke should avenge his losses first. Imo he has a good ass chance at being Linares, and Linares is one of my favorite fighters in the past half decade. People were saying Campbell had "no chance", against Linares, but he proved he belonged there with him. I was one of the few that said Campbell would give Linares fits.

    That being said, Campbell's style is bad for Lomachenko. You can't outbox the boxer. So I give Campbell not much of a shot, but it's still a far better win than a Rigo jumping up 2 weight classes at 37.

    Lol imagine Eddie Hearn charging £60 for ppv..people already moan to no end about paying a score! Never understood the ppv price for the yanks.

    Back on topic would love this fight to happen. Loma seems the real deal, been very impressive...but that wouldn't stop me from cheering on Campbell for the win

    If Loma can squeeze in 3 fights this year, I wouldn't mind if Campbell were one of them. Mikey and unification should still be top priority, though.

    If Campbell vs Tommy Coyle did nearly 15,000 then Eddie Urn must be dreaming Loma comes to the UK to beat the crap outta Luke Campbell
