    They have no business being in the ring together.

    Wow....the size difference.

    So, i was the ******* who condescendingly insisted that size made no difference in this fight.... :(

    I'm still interested in the tactical matchup of this fight...but Loma needs to win by KO over a pygie sized man (no disrespect but it is what it is)

    If Rigo is merely crafty and competitive it'll be a proud accomplishment. If he somehow pulls of a win (KO or decision) it'll have to be considered one of the greatest performances of modern boxing history. Beating a much larger master boxer like Vasyl Lomachenko.

    I'm still intrigued..but sadly, no longer pumped.

    Number of times a fighter 8 years older and 3 inches shorter beat a top ten p4p fighter? Anybody? Anybody? GTFOH!

    Lomachenko is:

    *younger
    *taller
    *heavier
    *stronger
    *busier (throws way way more punches)
    *better chin (presumably)
    *better amateur record? (1 loss in almost 400 contests)

    Best boxer......?

    It is hard to genuinely bet against Lomachenko

    all those attributes would be positive in a mexican style head butting battle royal. its not that kind of party, rigo is just a style nightmare and heavier and taller are not positive attributes for this fight. when loma starts breaking jaws then we can agree he is stronger, when they trade good shots then we can agree who has better chin, both are two time gold medalist. This is the best vs the best choose your winning attributes carefully.

    Lomachenko needs to stop beating on small men and fight people his own size. I am sick of this hype job bullying smaller fighters, if he had any testicle fortitude, he would fight Crawford at 147 pounds or even jump to 160 and fight Golovkin, he needs to DARE to be great, he has to move up and stop competing in one weight class and fighting with his own officials in his home town. This BS has got to stop, fight in America Loma, not in the Ukraine.

    Well... You have to remember that Rigo is the one who challenges Loma. He said that he wanna fight him so this is not Loma's fault, OK?

    Loma will work at the body to slow down Rigo and then stop him in the late round.
