Crawford has stopped 2 gold medalists who weren't 37 and had fought in that weight division. Lomachenko made a 37 year old moving up 2 weight divisions quit. Great!
This fight actually made it really suspect. I don't believe when a two times Olympic champion quits without even a putting a fight. It's either a Rigo is a big suspect or the fight is fixed. I don't believe when a Salido puts a fight and a two times Olympic Rigo is not even trying to put up a fight.
that guy was 5'2, crawford is literally middle weight. Lomachenko > crawford right now and it isn't even close. Crawfords best win is against gamboa lol sad
So you think that the same people going crazy over Lomachenko beating Rigo would give Spence/Crawford credit under the same circumstance? Be honest.
It may not add to Lomachenko, but this was the only outcome that really could've harmed Rigo. There were multiple ways he could've lost without taking any damage to his career because everyone already knew the deck was stacked against him. Instead, he fought the one fight that eliminated all that goodwill. Fouling, clinching like the lovechild of Wlad and Ward, then bailing mid fight. You couldn't draw up a recipe for him to drop his stock worse.
I didn't give Mayweather credit for Marquez. Neither did the same people going crazy over Loma beating Rigo. Not to mention that Marquez was the active one and Mayweather was coming out of retirement. Do you not see inconsistencies? These are just facts. Loma beat a 37 year old who has been inactive and moved up 2 weight classes. Not to mention that small guys tend to age worse. List me some top boxers 37+ at 130 or below in the history of boxing.
You must be blind. Look at this board. Would you like to go through the forum and find specific names?
I thought Loma was getting away with more dirty tactics than Rigo in there. Holding Rigo's head down, landing shots into the back of it, no ref interference. I can see Rigo got frustrated and quit, he's not only against a top 4 P4P guy in his prime, he was against the officials as well.
