    Rigo was just totally outclassed. Lomachenko was faster, Rigo had no chance at all.....................Lomachenko did not want the fight, but boxing fans wanted it, so many were not giving Lomachenko a chance at all.............such as Danny Garcia, Roberto Duran, the Rigo fans, the YouTube videos, etc.

    Not at all. He was three inches shorter, and probably at least 12 pounds smaller in the ring. He did his morning rehydration weigh in fully clothed and only weighed 130.

    i will believe rigo had a hand injury until its proven he did not or he did. Looking at the fight it would not matter anyway he was not winning the size difference was just too much against loma one of the most talented boxers in the sport. Rigos home is 122 and now i understand why he never wanted to move up.

    I don't hold it against him. He's old and had a good career. People overreacted to the Donaire win. Just like they're overreacting now.

    Nah, the reaction was appropriate. Donaire was on fire, a P4P guy, and Rigo clowned him.

    Rigo was outclassed. He wasn't winning the fight even if he was injury free. But it may have been entertaining at least, the only thing Rigo had over Loma was the power in the left hand, but if he did break it then it explains a lot.

    Rigo quit as soon as he realized he wouldn't be able to constantly foul and get away with it. That other bum from USA Andre Ward would have done the same if he was not allowed to foul against Kovalev.

    Both disgraceful human beings.

    Styles make fights. Much worse guys than Donaire have done much better against Rigo. Donaire fought a stupid fight. Plus that fight was much closer than people claim.

    Yes. Boxing is a lonely sport who have no sympathy or guilt for quitters. The harsh cold truth
