    I still think that Rigondeaux's boxing against Kennedy was as close to flawless as you can get. Just insane. Such a shame that he's wasting his talents. Comparing this fight to Lomachenko's performance against Sosa it's hard to pick over who looked the most sensational.
    Sucks that we'll probably not get Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux anytime soon...

    Sosa is comparatively better than Kennedy. Still Kennedy was better than some of the scrubs that Lomachenko fought at 126, and went rounds with.

    After watching Rigo no wonder every body fled the division the great Manuel Steward was fascinated by his balance and feline movements what a shame of boxing depriving us of enjoying one of the best.

    Cubans have always disliked the Kennedys since the early 60's... it was personal.

    Seriously though, it was Teon Kennedy...

    Rigondeaux and Lomachenko have 2 complete different styles so hard to compare, but both are the best at their own respective style without a doubt.

    ...Who wasn't any worse than Koasicha and Rodriguez.

    Thanks for the memories I almost forgot how great Rigo is, every punch could knock your socks out, I could barely see those shoots landing.

    I miss Steward's commentary.

    Now that Loma vs Rigo is on the way I wonder what the chances are of seeing this Rigondeaux (the guy that fought Kennedy and Donaire) against Lomachenko. If he fights as sharp as he did in those fights with Lomachenko then it would be a very interesting fight.

    If Lomachenko's face is as sensitive to damage as it seemed in the Marriaga fight, he will be in trouble.

    You'd be hard pressed to name a more, or even equally skilled fighter who's had more of his career wasted.

    Such an absolute shame.

    December 9th can't come soon enough. If Loma beats Rigo convincingly there should be no excuses at all.
