Keep in mind I am not asking for Rigo to be a face first brawler or to play rock'em sock'em robots in his fights. Just for him to be a little more aggressive in his fights and up the punch output by say 25 punches a round. I don't think he could do that because he would end up getting KOed. There is a difference between sticking and moving versus just circling and throwing as few punches as you can get by with and still winning rounds.
I'm a Rigo fan sort of and I like Lomachenko too, right now Rigo obviously wins but down the line, who knows. What a great fight would it be though, dream fight.
So your telling me that Lomachehko a two time Olympic gold medalist will School Rigondeaux the world most decorated Amateur boxer in the world, in the last 30 years, who's also a 2x Olympic champion, 2x AWC, 2x Pan Am and 2x World. I personally don't think it will happen, I say young dud gets spanked
Loma, rigo, donaire. Looks like a good set of fights to me. Lots of other good fighters in the surrounding weight classes to build a world class cv if he's good enough
I'm a believer in Loma, but let's hold the horses at least a little bit. People are talking about him like he is a guaranteed ATG, and first ballot Hof'er. Relax and let his greatness in the professional game happen.
Both these guys are the goods, and nobody's schooling anyone in this one. I'm following the "a great big man beats a great small man" and favoring Lomachenko by the time this fight takes place, but it would be smart of him to get 5-6 fights under his belt first. That we're saying to hold off until his 6th pro fight to fight a legit P4P caliber talent with exceptional skills shows you the level of prospect we're dealing with. The nuthuggers for either man may drive you nuts, but there's no denying the quality and ambition of Lomachenko and Rigondeaux.
