    Rigo isn't my guy alt. I just know that a scumbag in Arum and a ducker in Loma are looking for easy fights. The ex Olympic LW is feasting on little guys with names and called the best pfp by more than some of you and the lunacy has gone too far. But...all Loma has to do is rematch Salido and I take back every comment said about the now overrated Loma.

    So who has Loma ducked in his 10 fights?
    Amazing how he's had 9 world title fights and he's facing one of the most avoided fighters of this generation next.
    Just accept he's the best and pretend he has brown skin.

    These ****en alts and their cry baby agendas, lmao. You tell that ***** to fight Salido in his next fight or he will be judged by me. And Loma isn't close to Crawford in terms of skill and comp.

    Lomachenko is naturally bigger, and Gamboa has a weak chin.

    Lomachenko by stoppage.

    gamboa breaks down crying, unlike walters who was crying inside. gamboa literally sobs his heart out from the beating loma gives him.

    C'mon man....Loma has 10 fights and all of his opponents have been world class. Rig is smaller, yes...but that doesn't mean it's an easy fight. He's a great boxer and a p4p fighter for a reason. Rig wanted this fight as much as Loma and it's not an easy fight for either man, despite the jump in weight Rig is making. Loma was always a little bigger and younger. Even if Rig accepted the fight earlier, Loma was going to have a weight advantage. He just chose to wait it out and Loma moved up so the fight is happening at a higher weight. No excuses....the better man will have his hand raised when this fight concludes. Let's just hope it's a classic

    Gamboa's athleticism was probably superior to Lomachenkos and determination would take him a long way as well. I think he could pull it off, he definitely looked a hell of a lot better than Russell, Walters, and Salido which are the only fighters of note that Loma faced at 126.

    Gamboa is athletic, but definitely not as athletic as Loma. Loma's athleticism is on another level. Gamboa is holding a power advantage and may be a touch faster, but even that is up for debate.

    Gamboa lost to Robinson Castellanos and had a questionable win over Alexis Reyes...neither of those guys are world class. If Gamboa struggled against those guys there is no doubt he would have lost to Walters & Russell Jr.

    Even in Gamboa's most recent wins he hasn't looked very good at all. His stamina is suspect and his defense is subpar for a boxer at this level.

    IQ is just as important at world level. Loma.

    Lomachenko would murder Gamboa, hell, Sosa just beat Gamboa, although Sosa was cheated by corrupt judges, but what else is new?

    In fairness, didn't Salido turn down the rematch prior to the Rigo fight being made? I think Arum said after this they want to try and make Salido again before moving up, so you may get your wish.

    I love me some Crawford too but to say Loma "isn't close" in terms of skill does seem a little hyperbolic

    So how about Loma move up and fight Crawford then?
