Vasyl Lomachenko and Anthony Crolla fight Friday at the Staples Center for the World Boxing Association Super World Lightweight Title.
Vasyl Lomachenko enters this fight with a 12-1 record that includes nine knockouts. Lomachenko has won each of his last 11 fights, and he’s coming off a December win over Jose Pedraza. Lomachenko will defend his belt fo a second straight fight and is coming off his first decision win since his 2014 bout against Chonlatarn Piriyapinyo. Lomachenko landed 158 power punches over the course of 12 rounds and was comfortably in the lead throughout the fight, but he couldn’t produce a knockout, ending his finish streak at eight in a row. Lomachenko is a 31-year-old southpaw who stands at 5’7” and has a 65-inch reach. Lomachenko is one of the best technical fighters in the sport with ridiculous footwork and defense, so his opponents have a tough time landing consistently and can get frustrated and lose confidence over the course of a bout. Lomachenko has quick hands offensively, puts combinations together nicely and clearly has power with 69 percent of his fights ending in knockout. For somebody who came up through the olympic ranks and had some doubters after losing his second professional fight, Lomachenko has really settled in as one of the most balanced fighters in the sport and somebody who is in the conversation as best pound-for-pound. This will be Lomachenko’s third career fight in California.

Anthony Crolla enters this fight with a 34-6-3 record that includes 13 knockouts. Crolla has won five of his last seven fights, and he’s coming off a November win over Daud Yordan. Crolla has followed up back-to-back losses with three straight wins and is coming off a comfortable decision victory where he outworked the best boxer from Indonesia. Crolla is 32 years old, stands at 5’8”, has a 67-inch reach and an orthodox stance. Crolla doesn’t have a ton of punching power, but he’s accurate, has a great work rate and works behind his jab well. Crolla has produced just four finishes in his last 13 fights and hasn’t had a knockout since his 2016 bout against Ismael Barroso. Crolla has a pressure style to him, as he’s always coming forward, looking to box on the inside and enjoys using his right hook on counters. Crolla also has a proven chin considering he’s lost six times and only one of those losses was a finish. Crolla may not be the best the UK has to offer, but he stays busy and can steal fights on the cards if his opponent doesn’t match his energy. This will be Crolla’s second career fight in the United States.
Crolla can make this a competitive fight if he brings his usual energy to the ring and lets his hands go. Crolla also has a size advantage over Lomachenko, which certainly doesn’t hurt the case for an upset. Crolla can close the ring off and box Lomachenko from the inside, possibly landing a strong power punch that makes the champ uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Crolla hasn’t been in the ring with somebody like Lomachenko and he doesn’t have the power in his hands that give him a punchers chance. Lomachenko is too good defensively to trade punches all night and Crolla doesn’t it in him to land that one punch that could shock the world. Lomachenko should also be eager to finish this fight given how his last fight went down and to keep your name in the p4p conversation, you have to finish lesser opponents. This is simply a few classes out of Crolla’s league.

Lomachenko should win this bout by knockout, and taking the under 9.5 rounds is certainly a lot more valuable than laying this insane ML or even a KO/TKO prop. Seven of Lomachenko's nine finishes have been decided in the ninth round or earlier.

Jorge Linares vs Anthony Crolla Preview March 25th
Hometown hero Anthony Crolla will be trying to take back his WBA Lightweight Championship from Jorge Linares of Venezuela in their rematch this Saturday, March 25th.

Linares vs Crolla Betting Odds
Here are the betting odds from online sportsbook BetOnline.ag (full review here).
- Anthony Crolla +185
- Jorge Linares -220
My Pick
The 30-year-old Crolla will enter the ring with a record of 31-5-3 along with 12 Kos while the 31-year-old Linares is 41-3 with 27 Kos under his belt. Crolla resumed his career after suffering a fractured skull and broken ankle in an attack a couple of years ago. The boxer heard a commotion in his neighbour’s yard and decided to intervene when it looked like the neighbour was about to be robbed. Since then he’s fought Darleys Perez of Colombia twice with a draw and a win via fifth-round stoppage, then beat Ismael Barroso.
Crolla captured the WBA Lightweight crown in the second meeting with Perez and lost it to Linares last year. The Englishman stands just over 5-feet-8-inches tall and has a 67-inch reach. He turned pro back in 2006 and has gone 239 rounds since then, but doesn’t possess much in the way of power with a current knockout ratio of just 33 per cent. Crolla’s other four losses have been against domestic opponents. He drew with Derry Mathews and was beaten by Youssef Al Hamidi and lost twice to Gary Sykes.
In addition, Mathews stopped him in the sixth round back in 2012. However, he’s also fought some decent British opponents such as Andy Morris, John Watson, Willie Limond, Gavin Rees and John Murray. Crolla has fought extremely well since his injuries and has looked world class in his encounters with Linares and Perez. He’s improved greatly over the past couple of years and more than held his own against Linares in their close first fight.
Crolla Betting Line
The 31-year-old Linares has a plenty of experience, skill and speed and is a former featherweight, super featherweight and WBC lightweight world champion. He won the vacant WBC belt back in December, 2014 by stopping Javier Prieto in the fourth round in Tokyo, Japan, where Linares now calls his home. However, the WBC stripped the title from Linares in February of 2016 after he suffered hand injury and wasn’t able to defend the title. They then named him WBC Diamond Champion for what it’s worth.
Linares’ three losses have been against Juan Salgado in 2009, Antonio DeMarco in 2011 and Sergio Thompson in 2012. Those defeats revealed a questionable chin since all three men stopped him. Linares’ biggest wins have been over Crolla, Jesus Chavez, Oscar Larios, Nihito Arakawa and Rocky Juarez. The Venezuelan Linares stands 5-feet-8-inches tall with a 69-inch reach and has fought 256 rounds since turning pro in 2002. He carries a 61 per cent knockout ratio around with him.
He definitely has more power than Crolla, but didn’t really hurt him in their first meeting. Crolla needs to use his mobility and slick combinations against Linares since he doesn’t really have the power to slug it out with him and will definitely have the crowd behind him. However, since Crolla lacks power, Linares was able to control the first fight with quick, accurate punches and fine footwork. Crolla was the betting favourite heading into the first fight and Linares is rightfully the favourite this time around.
Prediction…
Linares has more experience against tougher opponents, but is a little older than Crolla. He’s also been stopped in all three of his losses, but Crolla isn’t known as a knockout puncher. Crolla’s biggest asset is his heart and determination and he’s surprised a few people by winning and defending a world title. Crolla should have gained some confidence in the first meeting as he was in against a better boxer with more power. Linares’ is the better all-round boxer here though, and unless this bout is going to be used to set up a trilogy, Linares should retain his title by win or draw.
Linares is rightfully the close favourite here.
