    Rigo's age is of course a factor. Have you seen any clear signs of decline?

    Rigo will beat Loma unless he gets robbed on scorecards. Rigo is the better boxer, simple.

    I actually picked Flores to beat him.

    When you actually look at his record it's been 4 years since his last decent showing.

    Lomachenko will knock Rigo out!!!!!!! Lomachenko is the most skilled fighter in boxing today, he has the size, the reach, the chin, angles, foot movement, power..........and he also has a fantastic amateur boxing record. A good boxing always beats a good little boxer................however, this fight has not been signed yet, Salido could still be the opponent, so Rigo had better sign the contract ASAP!

    I really dont understand how anyone can pick either of these fighters to beat the other with such confidence and assurance. These are my two pound for pound number one fighters in the world. And I cannot say either way who will win. this is a fight of the year I am totally stumped on this one. Cant wait to see what vegas thinks.

    For arguments sake, let me say Rigondeaux is 5'2 and Lomachenko is 5'7 (both not true).
    The reach difference is 3 inches, therefore the length difference is only 2 inches.

    why do people say Rigo is boring yet Mayweather isn't? they have similar styles.

    No one gives **** about his amatuer record, lets see him fight some proper fighters.

    I find Rigondeaux more entertaining as he doesn't 'run' or 'hug' excessively, he stays in punching range. That's why his style is fascinating.

    These two are some of the most talented boxers today. Will this be a close fight or will one truly shine above the other? If the later happens that will show how good that fighter is although anyone who know boxing should know both are very talented. Personally I think Loma takes care of business

    I think Lomachenko works Rigondaeux over, based on the factor of Rigo's age and inactivity combined with Loma's skill level and surgical precision. There has to come a point whereby Rigo's age catches up with him, and he simply gets old overnight.

    I see it being a fascinating contest for about the first 3 or 4 rounds -- and then Lomachenko taking over, breaking Rigondeaux down and clowning him.

    The exact same could be said said of the post-Donaire version of Rigondeaux. :sisi1

    The Flores fight gives me faith that he hasn't slipped much.
