    That’s a bit naughty no?
    To have a No mas on ones career is bad enough at the hands of Sugar Ray Leonard but this was borne out of frustration in that Rigo ain’t daft,knew he couldn’t turn this round and actually what’s even worse is he’s saved himself the invariable knock out which would of come when Lomo got out of 2nd gear.
    Scary how good Lomo is

    (Only read the RBR)
    I must say, for another world class opponent to quit like that... due to frustrwition... i am at loss for words.
    Makes me wonder what its really like to be in there with him.
    (And i can only imagine what happens if the Salido remqtch happens and he quits)

    All in all itruly believe we are witnessing the lates true ATG on the level of Manny, Floyd, the Fab 4 and so on.

    Rigo wanted out of the fight, I called it here after round 2. If you have an ounce of cowardice in you Loma will expose it.

    By round 3 I was getting the feeling Rigo wasn't liking what was unfolding.

    Lomachenko p4p #1 tbh. I don't see, on a fair weightclass level, ANYONE in boxing dealing with lomachenko, and thats what P4P is.

    Why would I be upset that a fighter didn't pull a massive upset off? I expected exactly this. I didn't think an inactive 37 year old moving up 2 weight classes would beat someone like Loma.

    I've been on the hype train for Lomachenko and Rigondeaux for a long time. It's sad to see Rigondeaux go out this way, but that's what it is. I hope he can rebound and get a few paychecks after this.
    Loma is going to be great! He's already great. :)

    Loma is just too big. Loma was right. It wasn't a big win. Rigo has no business at 130.

    What do you mean by a "fair weightclass"?

    Loma did what he needed to do I guess. Fight went the way most predicted and the bigger man wins.

    I though Loma might force a knockout rather than a quit job, I still wanna see Salido vs Loma but I don't know if Salido gets through tonight tbh.

    I was surprised at the Rigo predictions,just like when folk went all in on Broner v Garcia for me whilst Rigo was a pound for pound great there was nothing from him of late we could go off so I reckon some just chose to stick on the Rose tinted specs and see him from five years ago.

    It really doesn't. I never gave Mayweather any credit for Marquez. Funny how the same people who discredited that win are going crazy over this win. Not to mention that Marquez was the one who was active and Mayweather was the one coming out of retirement. Also guys in lower weight classes tend to age far worse. You don't see top 35+ year old fighters below 130 generally.
