Vasyl Lomachenko v Anthony Crolla

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Anthony Crolla: Glove controversy sparks row at weigh-in as Brit trainer demands check

A touch of mind games from Joe Gallagher, perhaps?

An unlikely dispute broke out at the weigh-in for Vasyl Lomachenko vs Anthony Crolla on Thursday.

The challenger’s promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that trainer Joe Gallagher requested the champion’s gloves be weighed before the bout, as he believed they felt lighter than usual upon inspection.

Gallagher even brought his own set of the scales to resolve the matter, however the Ukrainian’s team were sceptical about using these as a means of measurement.

“Joe Gallagher felt that Lomachenko’s gloves were very light, so he wants them weighed,” Hearn told Sky Sports.

“They didn’t have a set of scales here to weigh the gloves, Joe Gallagher brought his own set of scales, which they didn’t want to particularly use.

“They said they’ll weigh them later and Joe wants to see them being weighed later.

“He’s well within his rights, in my opinion, to see that. They are a new brand of glove, so they’re not something that we’re particularly used to.

“Sometimes it’s just a little bit of mind games from camps just to make sure people are a little bit unsettled.

“Joe’s very good at that, but I think he’s got a point on this occasion and the commission here are outstanding, so we don’t see any problems.”

The gloves are supposed to be eight ounces and, if not, then Lomachenko will have to find an alternative pair.

Where was this undercard???. Sounds like Mike Alvarado got smoked. Not to take the cheap shot, but it may be for the better. Espn+ has had 3 disconnects here so far.

Best p4p fighter today? Anyone watching this thanks for any rbr or updates. Just a dumb move by Arum and espn..they are airing High School basketball and Sportscenter now instead on tv.

Anyone watch live fights anymore you slack twats ???

Good evening Spicoli. I'm getting a perfect picture but no sound on my dodgy iptv. Crolla reddening up nicely.Holy shit. What a bunch of idiots getting in the ring.

This isn't going to last longer than it takes me to write this post. Only just. Goodnight Crolla. What a pointless fight that was.

Apparently 'free' top rank boxing on fb has espn+ ppv vid clips simultaneously :vd:. Brilliant scam Bob. Good ol Jack Reiss having his say. Loma needs to move up

I did not know this was on today :S... Not that I have cable anymore, I doubt it was on anywhere in Canada..... I actually only have dazn right now for sport watching :S

So weighing lomachenkos gloves didn't work.... Who would have thought

well I'm glad I didn't stay up to watch that, caught the end of it after I woke up.

Crolla going all Rocky Fielding on Loma's ass there, why Eddie thought it was a good idea to feed him to Loma I'll never know, lovely left hook to the noggin to finish it though.

No surprise. Loma super

I had no idea this fight had even been made till Taansend (remember him ?) messaged me this week to say he was going.

Watched this morning on YouTube.

One question. Why ?:-\

The reason why it was made was because Crolla was a mandatory and took the fight. The real reason was his original opponent, Richard Commey who is the IBF champion withdrew because of injury. Loma holds the WBA and WBO world titles.

It is on sky in the evening today so i will watch.

Yeah, I totally missed the fight.... I thought it was tonight. :-\

From the sounds of it, not surprised there wasn't a rb

I will do one today retrospectively. ;D

Thanks

For what it’s worth i had Corolla ahead when he got stopped

I just watched the fights this morning.

Ramirez looked solid at light heavyweight. Easily beat Karpency. There are some good fights for him there.

Loma just destroyed Crolla. Loma even admitted before the fight that it wasn’t the fight he wanted. He then said after the fight that he wanted Mikey. Let’s hope that fight can still get made

Poor guy gets no respect. Can't even get his name spelled right.

Apologies. Must have come up on predictive text after a previous post about a Toyota

Million dollar corrola would be pretty interesting

A respectable if overmatched opponent, but Lomachenko looked every bit the P4P #1 there. Just a finely tuned fighting machine. Brilliant mastery of feints, footwork, and punch selection. I have a feeling Crawford will look just as good against Khan. Khan is a better opponent than Crolla as well. We’ll see.
