    There is no question about that now, 50% of the population gave Rigo a real chance, there was nothing he could do absolutely nothing, Loma learnt from that Salido loss, what professional boxing. Since then he dominated everyone, some of the best fighters.

    And rightly so. You can never count out someone with Rigo's talent. But the oddsmakers saw the bigger picture in the right light. Jumping 2 weight classes is no joke.

    i wouldn't say that haha. but he's very good and I was very pro Rigo and anti-Lomachenko, but he won fairly and he made me a fan tonight.

    Well, i think it was more 25% of people who gave Rigo a chance. But they where very vocal self proclaimed boxing purist who couldny see Loma's skill. Because defence is all and everything.

    Remember that the same people hated on Floyd vs Marquez for years and totally forget that Broner jumped 2 weights to fight Maidana after Paulie. Thats why I'm just going to take score of the threads and post tonight.

    The day that Loma moves up in weight will there be excuses?

    That had nothing to do with weight, just pure artistic brilliance.
    I think people are having a hard time giving lomachenko any credit here

    Lomachenko deserves credit, because Rigo would have beaten a lot of guys bigger than him. Lomachenko wasn't one of those guys. So it wasn't size alone. But to deny size played a factor in what we just witnessed falls well outside the realm of reason.

    I don't think he would be able to take Lomachenko, I just can't see anyone dealing with his volume, speed, footwork, angles, ring IQ, not even Floyd in his prime.
