Shields v Hammer on tonight too?

Going to set my alarm and get up for the Loma fight, I'll be able to go back to bed when it's over after 6 rounds :)

I think the women's fight is tomorrow.

I expect Crolla to retire in the corner after 6 rounds. Or get knocked out in the 7th.

That was brutal. Crolla looked like a bunch of pancake batter just splayed out the canvas.

took the words out of my mouth mate, brutal is the perfect description, crolla was utterly dismantled,

i know a lad who went out there to watch, i hope he had other things of enjoyment to do.
 
That KO was brutal. What on earth was the ref playing at! Stopped the fight in the 3rd round and all of a sudden decides to give Crolla a count instead? He was getting beat up badly what was the purpose of giving him.a count for further punishment.
 
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.
 
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!
