    Does Cambell stand a chance of beating Loma?

    Campell was getting caught multiple times by Linares left hook. The left hand is what Loma is gonna set up and aim for IMO, alongside frequent bodywork after a cagey start.

    Campell will have to impose his size and strength ealry on Loma to win, get dirty if he has to. But he has such a clean, workman technician style that I don't think he will, atleast from what I've seen previous. I think he'll eventually fall behind Loma after a good cagey opener.

    I'm not sure what strategy Luke can use to win against Loma. Box and counter and he'd need a perfect performance to win. Go for the KO and he will get countered. Loma is an ATG IMO so we will see how the fight plays out.

    If Lomo takes him seriously , and i believe he will ..Im expecting a master class .
    Campbell is a very good tactical fighter , however ,tactics mean nothing if you cant catch your opponent .

    He couldn't even beat Linares. Loma is going to destroy this kid anyway he pleases. Kid is pretty much dead man walking i'm sorry to say.

    I read in my newspaper today that Loma whether training in Kiev or at the boxing laboratory in Oxnard, California, Loma spends so much time perfecting his footwork that he exhausts and dispatches trainers and boxing boots almost as quickly as his opponents.

    I think yes, he's a good boxer who's bigger than Loma. Honestly at this weight every fight Loma's in worries me a bit, Linares had some iffy moments, Pedraza was not an easy fight (and that's a guy coming up).

    I knew Crolla had absolutely zero chance but this one, I expect Loma to win but an upset wouldn't totally shock me.

    Wouldn't me neither,, I think he's got to get Loma into a fire fight and land something big or he'll just get outboxed

    I like Luke, but, Loma's lateral movement will render Luke's weapons ineffective.

    That height, reach & pedigree will pose some stylistic issues for Loma but I see Loma winning with Luke's stock rising in the process.. Campbell is a very good technical boxer..
