Topic: Boxing News: Crawford beats Loma for ESPY fighter of the year (2018) (Read 137 times)
@harizen , yes I totally agree with you. But not be wise at Pacquiao side to fight Loma even at 140 lbs because of the age factor. So there's a lot of risk in his end. And it was really close, however, maybe Terence Crawford wins has more weight and the way he demolished and toyed with his opponents gives him the edge against Loma for the coveted award. Maybe it would be really interesting to see Pacquaio-Crawford, Terence just go up at 147 lbs with that fight against Jeff Horn, it will be a great fight and I do hope that we are going to see that next. . It can easily be made and I reckon that we has no complain about a 70-30 or 65-35 split. Manny is still the A-side.

Terence Crawford has been named the 2018 ESPY Best Fighter for his wins over WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn, Julius Indongo and Felix Diaz. It’s a nice accomplishment for the 30-year-old Crawford to get the ESPY award, but his biggest win was over Horn, a fighter that won a controversial 12 round decision over Manny Pacquiao last year.

Since we are still in the Manny Pacquiao's fever, it was reported that Crawford wins fighter of the year over Lomachenko. This two has been in the discussion on who's Manny going to face next. So its going to be interesting if either one of them can get in the ring with Pacquaio and prove themselves against he legend.
Really a close one indeed. Im eyeing for Vasyl Lomachenko too but not disagree if the unbeaten Terence Crawford gets the recognition. They deserved both.
Congrats to all candidates.
Side note: Crawford and Loma are both with Bob Arum. Might be possible that they can have their chance to fight Manny Pacquiao.
I doubt Loma-Pacquiao will happened if one of the parties will not give way. I mean for the weight class. It's risky for Pacquaio to move down on weight division while on the other hand, it's a rush if Loma will force to move up weight. Loma can forced it as I know he can handle the pressure because of his young age but for Pacquaio, I don't doubt his strength but at 39 years old he must be careful dealing with his diet. Pacquaio is powerful at his current weight division even at his age so it's risky for me if he will force a loss weight. It needs time to adopt the intensity of any weight division.

Crawford has had a great year true, but I think Lomachenko deserves the recognition for going up weight classes to fight, and then beat Linares with a liver shot. I mean, how many people really get KO'd by a liver shot? That just shows he's got precision and power too, not just "hi-tech" foot work.
But the thing with that win is that he was KD early as opposed to Crawford, dominating all his fights in 2018. I guess those who voted against him can make this excuse. If I can remember correctly, he also moved up in weight to challenge horn for the 147 lbs. So he also going up weight classes to challenge the champions plus he is undefeated.

The guy deserves to win the award this year. He has good notable wins specially against Jeff Horn and he is truly the next cash cow now. And top #3 P2P, #1 GGG, #2 Loma. Although Loma has a good year as well, but his fight with Linares was not as expected of him. Yes, he won the fight, but he was KD by Linares and it was a close fight.
