Crolla is a good fighter…regardless of what American fight fans think…but they were completely right, this turned out to be a huge mismatch. 100 to 1 odds…and they didn’t seem wide enough after watching this.
I am Ukrainian and said that Loma will stop Crolla in mid rounds but didn’t thought that Crolla is that awful.
You were right then…my point was that Crolla was made look that awful by a brilliant Loma.
Crolla is not bad but Łoma is just THAT good.
I said it from day one that its an utter mismatch !
Lomachenko’s jabs are simply beautiful.
They really blowing up Loma after this fight like crolla was this scary undefeated champion.. I never watched him fight all I know is that I looked up his boxrec and he’s not someone special in boxing. Just a fighter to make a good fighter look great. I still have to see more from Loma. He’s fast and has some unorthodox footwork but I think a good calculated boxer can beat him. Or just anyone who would actually let their hands go. He leaves himself open a lot for good counters from good fighters
They could have come up with something better. Feed lopez to Loma.
Loma’s footwork was next level in this fight. He was really bouncing in their. Looked like a human Dragon-Ball z character vs Crolla. Complete mismatch. Crolla was hardly able to even compete. I’m curious t see Chenko vs Davis & Lopez & some f the hard hitting dynamic young fighters. I’m not so sure they have the discipline & seasoning to out think & deal w/ him over 12.
Loma is lightning fast yet leaves himself open to counters so in theory yes a good calculated boxer could get him but the fact of the matter is that he is too smart. He prides himself on how he doesn’t get hit and has little to no physical indications he was just fighting someone. If he ever does fight a calculated boxer he will still win because of his boxing IQ and speed. He only really opens himself when he is mismatched like this but when he is facing someone of greater skill and speed he calculates every move he does. Crolla seems like a good fighter but this fight doesn’t show anything but him being totally shut out.
Total domination from a gifted boxer. Excellent display from Loma of master moves, speed and punch combinations as usual. Crolla didn’t have chances at all which was quite evident because he hardly connected just few punches. Actually is quite difficult to identify a boxer in this division that could present a reasonable opposition to his reign. In my opinion, this fight deserves 3 starts just based on Loma’s work.
Sooner or later it will be exposed that loma taking those PEDs! You can see, especially when he goes past the 7 round. GGG , Kolvalev, Bevol all taking those drugs! Those same type of drugs they ban the whole russisan olympic team. When loma fought gary russell jr. It was exposed then. Sooner or later the world will find out.
Take a look at this fighter. You can tell he’s using it. Did you see the first standing 8 did you see how he flew to the otherside of the ring and jumped on the ropes? He juicing! He juicing like hell!
