I called it a mismatch ahead of time, however, Crolla was more than just an alphabet body ranked fighter which you stated (even though admittedly he didn't deserve to be Top 5 rated by anybody). Commey got injured and had to withdraw. His injury was half as severe as Loma's in the Crolla fight where he broke his hand and dislocated his MCP joint. And, unlike Commey, he isn't asking for a tune-up to test out his hand which is currently in a cast, he's knocking on the same doors he has been since last year to unify the division. Mikey vacated and Campbell was already his mandatory so we're getting this to fill the vacancy.And you could tell it was a terrible mismatch. Which it was. I’m no Loma hater. I do enjoy decent matchups.
This isn't a great fight but Campbell at least has a big size advantage and evidently it's going to be held in the UK per Arum. That can't hurt Campbell's chances should it go the distance. This will setup a bigger fight to unify all 4 titles in early 2020 with the winner of Teofimo Lopez and Commey for the IBF title.
