    Get a good idea of the size difference here, I didn't realise it was so big.

    Can't tell much from this...

    Could be the angle. Could be the footwear.

    Lomo is not allowed to be over 138 in the fight, Rigo will come in around 130.

    Rigondeaux is going to get battered.

    A big Part. Loma will dwarf him in the ring like he already does in that photo.

    I wish Rigo gave Arum an SOG Low Blow

    Lomachenko's not only bigger, he's also stronger.

    Honestly, I think Rigondeaux is overrated. He's living off a win he had 4 years ago, and hasn't done **** since.

    Mad people worried about Rigo's size, but no one ever talks about Pac being much smaller than the dudes he fights (aside from Bradley and JMM). Why is Rigo getting a FREE PASS?!

    You mean something on the belt line except less frequently than the Vargas vs Negrete fight where they consistently bashed each other on the belt line because it was deemed legal during pre fight instructions yet neither one folded like cheap lawn chair because they where physically prepared for it.

    Yes, but no one was saying that Pac was severely disadvantaged. The haters want him to fight Spence!

    My understanding is Loma has to weigh that in the morning. I'm guessing by fight time, he'll be anywhere from 142-147 pounds. Rigo will probably be no more than 132 pounds, so you are probably looking at a 12-15 pound advantage for Loma.

    If Rigo was way better than Loma the size wouldn't matter much. As it is, even if Rigo is better than Loma it's not by much and it will not be enough to win the fight.

    Loma late KO.
