Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Luke Campbell - August 31, 2019

[Strutherhill]

Difficult to see how Campbell can cope with Loma's movement and ability to be within striking range but avoid getting hit himself. A great trick if you can manage it. Others commented on Loma being small for the weight -- but he is an extremely hurtful puncher, with so many stoppages. In his second fight against Salido, the latter hurled in so many low blows quite brazenly right in front of the referee -- who must be a nephew of the ref. for the fight where Duran smashed Ken Buchanan right in the family jewels (I'm a Scot!). Loma to win inside the distance -- hope I'm wrong. Will some kind soul please post the fight on Youtube? -- not all us fight fans can access PPV.

[Strutherhill]

In the UK there tend not to be the outrageous decisions in world title fights that appear elsewhere from time to time. First GGG v Canelo comes to mind. Not saying everything is above suspicion, of course.

THe only question here is will they rob him in Great Britain. Loma might need to win 9 rounds clearly.

The three judges are not the usual suspects.
And I have faith the ref will be fair.
Also, I don't expect it to go 12

Lomachenko has a lot of money behind him so you would “think” he would actually get a fair shake from judges. But ya never know. I’ll tell you one thing if this fight was somewhere else, anywhere else, he would be double or triple the odds. Only the fact the fight is in Britain is he “only” laying -1500.

[Evander]

Saw the weigh in.
Lomachenko looks more natural but doesn't look that much smaller than Campbell, Campbell has the frame to pack on some overnight weight though.
Like to see the on the night weights, bet Campbell comes in heavier.

Good fight. 5-2 Loma.

Campbell was tougher, than expected. The scores were good. I scored Loma 119-108.

[margaret thatcher]

Had Loma winning by 4 rounds plus the KD, but you can see he's not really a force at this weight. He's looked way more tentative vs bigger guys.

Teo beats him

He’s off quite a bit. He lets emotion dictate. A biased picker.
