    Rigondeaux has almost 3" reach advantage, though.

    It IS a huge difference in height, weight, size, volume, mass or whatever term you like to use.
    Amazing pugilistic heroism from Rigo facing such a - relatively - huge man with Lomas skills. True here Rigo. What a man.
    Al his opponents are higely bigger than him, but this time with the additional skils its ridiculous.

    Unless Rigo can sharp-shoot and bust up Lomas easily-bruised face and force a stoppage on grounds of facial damage he hasnt a chance. Thats the only way he can win here.

    I think it was telling that Rigo had some pretty thick clothes on.

    And let's remember that weight and size aren't the same thing and that additional weight doesn't always benefit people

    There's ZERO chance this will happen. Bob Arum will not, nor should not, give Mikey a pay day after what he did to Top Rank. Making this fight with Haymon is not possible.

    Should move up to 135 and target Linares and Flannagan. Much more makeable fights..

    This is one of the most extreme physical mismatches I've ever seen in well over 40 years.
    I know Rigo is used to facing much bigger men but in all those cases he has a...major....skillset advantage to compensate.

    Rigo is amazingly brave.

    Rigo is the wider framed, more muscular, longer reach fighter. No excuses here, size isn’t height ya dummies.
