I'm not sure what my dream Loma fight is. It involves going up or down 2 weight classes but I don't know if I'd rather imagine him fighting Rigondeaux or Bud.

e: pure imagination at this point of course, I don't expect him to actually try to do either of these things.

I know that's not what you mean but I think he does that to Miguel Berchelt, Corrales or even Gervonta Davis.

I'm starting to think even Rigondeuax would be a mismatch. Their skill levels are comparable but Lomachenko would come into that fight with ~10+ functional weight advantage. Only Mikey and maybe Jorge Linares would there be that much mystery imo.

Crawford is basically a full fledged welterweight, I'm not sure Lomachenko is big enough to fight him.

I'd like to see him either fight Guillermo Rigondeaux or Mikey Garcia. Rigondeaux is still arguably the best boxer in the world, despite being buried promotionally and not having faced an elite fighter since Agbeko. And Garcia is more or less a lightweight - he definitely looks maxed out fighting at 140.

Unfortunately there really aren't any big names at 130 or even 135, so he's a bit stuck for big time opposition.

Gervonta Davis would be solid in a few years. I get the feeling Davis is still a bit too green though.

Too lazy to do a full write-up but tonight is Crawford-Indongo. First full unification in 4 major belt era since Hopkins-Taylor 1 (and only one that hasn't involved Hopkins). Crawford is rightfully favored but Indongo isn't to be taken lightly. Televised undercard will feature light heavyweight sensation Oleksander Gvozdyk against once beaten Craig Barker. Bryant Jennings, DIllian Whyte and Shakur Stevenson on the un televised undercard

For a six round fight including a guy with a future this isn't surprising, but this is a completely ridiculous mismatch in favor of Stevenson.

Stevenson looked more like a guy with three fights under him than a world beater to me. Still has a lot of time to develop as a pro though.

Gvozdyk on the other hand, wanna see this cat against Kovalev sooner than later.

Indongo bouncing around and lunging in reminds me Gamboa in the latter rounds of his fight with Crawford. We know that ended.

I've never seen Indongo fight before, but he looked terrible from the outset. Very nervous/stiff legged.. throwing sloppy, wide shots.

I know Crawford is class, but nothing about that looked like a unification fight. Hope he lines up a good fight soon.

I'm glad I caught the fight even if I'd wished it could have been just a bit more competitive, I feel bad for Indongo, man had two belts.

Really I feel that way about both co-main events; Gvozdyk seems a little interesting but I'd really need to see him fight someone more challenging. Still don't regret watching it, was good.
