    Rigo has reach on him and Loma isn't very phyiscal so his size might not mean much. I think Rigo has better one punch power.

    No ****, and I picked Salido to beat him, that's pretty irrelevant though, because when you take into consideration after losing the first 6 rounds, he was the guy, not Salido, that made the adjustment to come back and win the last 6, and almost stop Salido late, in a 12 round match, his second match. Most fighters are only up to 4 rounders by then, think about that for a second.... let that sink in, a guy jumped from 3 and 5 round WSB and amateur matches, right into a 12 rounder against a grueling battle hardened tough as nails pressure fighter in Salido literally the worst opponent humanly possible for a novice at the pro game, Salido is usually the guy that finishes far stronger than his opponents, good examples would be the Mikey and Marquez matches, and Loma was the one whipping that ass late, not the other way around, also, unlike most of Salido's opponents, he was never close to being hut by Siri.

    Rigo fights nothing like Salido anyway, so that match isn't relevant here. But the fact that Rigo gets dropped by guys who land clean, who are orthodox and not southpaw, frequently, and the fact that Loma has the tools to land clean far more than any opponent Rigo has faced to date, and is the most skilled person Rigo has faced to date, who's far bigger than anyone Rigo has faced to date, doesn't bode well for Rigoblindeaux.

    What gets me is that Loma wasn't really a novice. WSB is the same as pro and he was fighting good opposition there. It's an inexcusable loss.

    Rigo was stunned enough to lose balance, and he was hurt by Amagasa and that is relevant, the little guy has no punch resistance whatsoever. Face it, if you can land clean, you can hurt him.

    I don't give a **** about these dumbass, this one is ducking that one arguments, Rigo called out Loma, all Rigo's fanboys said Loma was scared, yet Rigo stalled, and now that they've agreed to fight, all the whining about, Loma's too big, now all the Rigo has no chance talk has begun, wait, I thought Loma was scared? Give me a break.

    Loma isn't scared of Bud, and when he's ready to move up, he'll face him.

    :lol: Yeah, right, they're were all amateurs with no pro experience either, in 5 rounders, no its a completely excusable loss, especially when you consider it shouldn't have been a loss, I scored it a draw, as did many others.

    Rigo had less pro experience when he fought Cordoba. He didn't need excuses.

    Not stunned at all, just knocked off balance by jumping face first into a punch from a bigger man. So what he was momentarily hurt by Amagasa. He was outweighed by 20 pounds in the ring that night. He got up, and then was thrown down. We all saw what happened to Amagasa's face once Rigondeaux became focused and locked in. Donaire hit Rigondeaux harder than Lomachenko ever will. Rigondeaux took it well under the circumstances of being outweighed by so much in the ring. That Rigondeaux gets up after being decked by guys 20 pounds bigger than him, and finishes the whooping he was giving them, says a lot about his chin, recuperative abilities, and focus. You are mildly trolling, or just don't like Rigondeaux for some reason. And yeah, if Lomachenko had Rigondeaux's balls, he would have moved up to 140 to challenge Crawford for pound for pound supremacy. Instead Lomachenko's people worship Crawford, and label it career suicide for Lomo to fight him. Rigondeaux's career will continue, regardless.

    Lomachenko isn't Amagasa, he's kind of..... the best guy Rigo will ever share the ring with Donaire included. Give me a ****ing break, Rigo wanted Loma at 126, he's been agitating for this match for a while, well, he got his wish, who exacly has been agitating for the Crawford match? Bud hasn't said anything about it, only butthurt fanboys who know Loma's gonna get in that ass and spank this ugly little troll from one side of the ring to the other. So... goalpost gets moved, once again. Its the GGG shouldn't face Canelo, he should move up and face Ward bull**** all over again, because you want him to lose, nothing more, nothing less.

    Size is not going to matter as much as people think. Loma is going to have a tough time getting his jab going as Rigo has the longer reach. Both men work well off the jab, so it'll be interesting to see if Loma can actually get by the longer reach of Rigo to get his offense going.

    The only advantage I think Loma has is the fact that he's been far more active than Rigo, which counts for a lot. If Loma can change his style enough to use his weight advantage against Rigo, along with his youth and lack of ring rust, he'll have a chance to win.

    Similar level. Cordoba beat Celestino Caballero. Salido was a cherry pick gone bad. Mickey had just handled him.

    Yes he is.

    If he hadn't started at world level and had instead been brought through the ranks like most other fighters he would have a very high KO percentage. A lot of savage punchers usually stop knocking guys out when they get to the world/elite guys. That's why no one ever has a 100% KO ratio at the end of their career.

    All Rigo has is a left hand. And he hates pressure and literally runs from it. I expect Loma to smother Rigo and take away his left, and for Cuban glass to be everywhere.

    GRJ was a better fight than Rigo and Lomachenko made him look bad..............I think Lomachenko will out work Rigo and stop him. I have seen Rigo knocked down..................by much slower fighters..............

    Yes, Loma will beat Rigo by way of K.O. or T.K.O. Rigo will face the KO loss for the first time in his life.
