Power: Rigondeaux Speed: Rigondeaux Footwork: Lomachenko Technical Ability: Lomachenko Defense: Rigondeaux Offense: Rigondeaux Size: Lomachenko Chin: Lomachenko Prediction: Rigondeaux by TKO
Lomachenko has the workrate. Technical ability and Footwork is pretty close, rigo has a case for both. Lomachenko is the more offensive fighter. Punch variety slight edge to Lomachenko because he uses his jab more. I believe Rigondeaux has a mental edge. He seems calmer. Loma seems a bit too proud, complains to the referee alot and showboats sometimes. I feel like rigo dealt better with getting knocked down by donaire than loma did with the adversity against Salido. I think Lomachenko should be favored but rigondeaux is very very live.
Rigo has a power edge? Not close to proven at 130 pounds. IMO Lomo hits harder. Rigo will need his best performance ever to win. He won't like Lomo's pacing, and for whatever reason speedy Cubans usually are not durable. Watch how he reacts to Lomo's body or head shots. If he runs and plays it safe, its a sure sign he does not want to mix it, as he won't be able to counter his way to a points decision. Call: Lomo via 10 round TKO, up on the cards say 6-3
It's interesting. Rigondeaux seems to be in perfect position every second of every round, but then got caught by Amagasa whilst in a bad position and was knocked down. Lomachenko is all over the place, but we've never really seen him off balance (may be masked by athleticism). So the edge for me goes to Lomachenko.
Loma soul-raped those dudes. He didn't lay down horrific, please-stop-the-fight-ref! beatings. Walters didn't even take much punishment.
I thought I made it clear, and still, the list is way off, so, that's why I'm here. But's your opinion, at least know who's going to get the W. We may have a bottle of Dominican Lavish waiting on you for your efforts.
