Excellent post. Only a hater wouldn't give Loma full credit for beating Rigo. If Loma gets past Rigo I would love to see him avenge his loss to Salido who had to come in over and barely beat a green Loma. Rigo and Salido fight nothing a like Rigo can't fight on the inside can't bully Loma around and isn't a dirty fighter like Salido. Loma isn't a great inside fighter either but IMO he has a better inside game than Rigo. If Rigo could fight on the inside he could possibly beat Loma but he can't. This will be a technical fight with elite level skill being showcased by both fighters a rare treat indeed in boxing today. Props to both men for making it happen.:good
Love this fight, and both men deserve credit for having the guts to take it. 20 combined pro fights, but we'll see more skill in one ring here than in any other fight this year. It could turn out to be a modern day Canzoneri-Chocolate if both turn up on their A game, as I expect.
It's been a while. I'll have to think more about it. Two skilled fighters like these two don't fight that often. Calzaghe-Hopkins comes to mind.
I don't view Pac as a technician on the level of Lomachenko. (Much greater fighter, no doubt but skill-wise it's not close).
This will be a very good fight i can't wait for Loma to shatter some cuban glass:smoke I have Loma landing thick right hands repeatedly during the bout and just being to much for Rigo the dude will get destroyed Hope it really happens don't run away Rigo:yep
Maybe he's getting paid for that. You know, we have a lot of Eastern haters, we need someone to hate the entire America continent to restore the balance.
Over 50% of this guys' FACTS! are totally wrong, haha. I love to read FACTS! on ESB... If you want an OPINION! then here is mine: I predict 116-112/117-111 sort of scores and a UD for Rigondeaux with all the Lomachenko fanboys claiming robbery (despite, as usual, nothing of the sort taking place). If Rigondeaux loses, however, I suspect it would be by stoppage in a fight he was leading on the scorecards. The only weakness in his game seems to be the chinny chin chin.
