The Boxing thread

No offence but how the hell as Crolla become the no.1 mandatory to Lomachenko? Boxing should be riding the crest of a wave right now instead it's just shooting itself in the foot with mis-match after mis-match. I like Crolla and he's had a good career but that fight shouldn't have happened. Jacobs v Canelo can't come quick enough.

Great to watch him go down that way though, hoping Luke Campbell is next.

Lightweight isn't that strong a division right now.

Crolla was outclassed but he's a former WBA champion so it's not the worst match we're likely to see this year I would imagine.

Should never have been sent out for the 4th.

Just watched the Crolla fight if you can call it that (ouch).

Lomachenko's a bit screwed atm as far as his legacy's concerned in that he can't really move up in weight and the only person left to fight at lightweight (Garcia) is probably not going to drop back to lightweight anytime soon.

Wonder how his camp's going to get around that.

He’s is going to be in a huge fight at 135.
Teofimo Lopez is the guy who will give him a huge payday in 12 months time.

He’s a phenomenon...:. 3 weight world champion in 13 fights, that will probably never be replicated, so as far as ‘legacy’ goes, that isn’t going to be an issue.

I think you look at somebody like Durán in these circumstances, who’s conditioning and transferral of power was never an issue moving through the divisions, Lomachenko is of that ilk, imo...

I’d be keeping a keen eye on somebody like spence within the next 18 months, however, would be a hard fight to make!

No shame getting busted up by Loma. Time to call it a day now kid.

Glad he's alright Ant he's a good lad, but Loma is one special fighter.
