    Do you want to go all in, put your money where your mouth is, and have a one month ban bet on the fight? My faith in Loma versus your faith in Rigo?

    (That is, if you haven't been banned by then for trolling or some other nonsense. To me, it's really a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other.)

    Hey youre the one that said rigo will be worked over like some drunk immobilized whino. I strongly disagree, I have never seen rigo completely stationary, there will be no fat targets to hit in this one bud. this is a 50/50 fight like I said loma/rigo my personal p4p#1 fighters, I am not expecting or predicting a walk in the park for either guy.

    I have walked through casinos in vegas, atlantic city, new orleans, without spending a cent, I dont gamble on anything.

    If this fight happens and Loma doesn't destroy Rigo with all of Loma's advantages (youth, size, 2 divisions up from where Rigo belongs) then you have to start wondering. Rigo is a small fighter. Look how diminutive he was against Donaire.

    I don't think he destroys him but I certainly think he wins and probably stops Rigo. Size matters unfortunately. It sucks this is how Rigo has to go to get another marquee fight. Maybe if his Twitter account was so persistant with Quigg or Frampton he might have had better luck

    Loma is supremely talented and with his size Rigo doesn't have much of a chance here, still I'm optimistic about this fights entertainment value.

    If you understand boxing and weight in boxing you will understand rigo has no chance.

    I personally have it at 60/40 percentage in favor of Loma. They both operate at such a high level it's hard to give one guy the garunteed win.

    If rigo wins at 130 then I will worship the ground he walks on.
    It's pretty much impossible in my eyes. Hopefully we get to see it!

    Lomachenko is at least 5'7. He's a talent, not sure why some of you fanboys try to make him see like he's smaller than he is. He was Walter's height. 5'7 at least.

    I thought Loma was 5'7 but since he turned pro he got shorter and shorter, 5'6.5 even became 5'6, when if you think about it, professionals usually have their height overestimated - so that's weird.

    Anyway, I don't think Walters is likely to be as tall as 5'7 either. Walters looks 5'6 MAX, Loma looks 5'6. I don't believe Loma is a full inch taller at all.
    Donaire was measured on a youtube video as 5'5.5 btw.

    - type in the scene at the last link

    The bottom line is, let's say Rigondeaux is 5'2 and Loma is 5'7. Rigo's reach is 68 inches, Loma's reach is 65 inches. The difference is JUST 2 INCHES.
    To put it into perspective, the difference in length between a 5'6 Walters with a 73 inch reach, and according to you, a "5'7" Loma with a 65 inch reach, is 7 INCHES.

    Rigo and Loma's dimensions even at your overvalued estimates, is still similar. Comprende ese?

    Loma would eventually grind him down and stop rigo

    It appears it's still not done yet given Rigo's response a couple of hours ago:
