I figured I'd put together a little visual aide for this wonderful thread of yours. This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
I know odd isn’t it as it’s not like the Duran No Mas as Leonard put some serious beat downs on folk(see Leonard v Mayweather snr)boxer have shown they can take some serious punishment without quitting. Australian Cricket captain of the 90s Steve Waugh when asked about their aggressive sledging(comments made on field aimed at the batsman)said it was a form of mind disintegration and I’m sure this is partly what’s going on here with Lomos opponents as Rigo wasn’t hurt,didn’t look tired nor did the others. There’s one other explanation in that Rigo knows what Lomo does,his gas tank is so good he seems to go through the gears over twelve rounds so Rigo knew Lomo hadn’t been out of second gear and was gonna turn it up over the next six maybe even getting into fifth gear and Rigo didn’t want to be KOd or beaten up whilst looking dreadful himself. Seriously though doesn’t that Rigo No Mas leave a bad taste as it was he doing all the **** talking over the past few years and after all the threats he doesn’t seem to give his opponent any respect like Wlad did with AJ........passing on the torch and literally going out on his shield,Lomo should of absolutely given Lomo twelve rounds regardless of his own success and if it came to it gone out on his shield. Rigos name now will be tarnished as the no mas appeared to come out frustration that the fight wasn’t going as he and his army of fans wanted,I was surprised that there was so many well learned boxing fans giving Rigo a chance in this fight,I myself did not.
Well, Wilder does have a streak of 8 straight 1st round knockouts on his record during a 32 knockout streak. Ali Raymi had 21 consecutive 1st round knockouts and Edwin Valero had 18. Shannon Briggs has 32 1st rd knockouts, Dempsey 26, Tyson 22, Duran 21... Historically Archie Moore has 131 knockouts Young Stribling 129 Sam Langford 128 Kid Azteca 114 Ray Robinson 110 Sandy Saddler 103 Henry Armstrong 101 Joe Gans 100 Jimmy Wilde 99 The No Mas stuff doesn't impress me like a KO. It tells me that Loma's in with a bunch of quitters and doesn't have the power to put them away correctly. He has enough skill to frustrate and annoy people, but not enough strength to actually hurt them.
On the contrary, it impresses me more. Guys who have been viewed as the best until they meet Loma, who quit on the stool. Are you really going to try and make Rigo out to be a quitter? Come on, Rigo, was one of the best ever. There were so many guys on these thread who were saying Rigo was going to stop Loma. Talk about armchair quarterbacking.
Well then you're easily impressed. None of these guys was the best at anything, except for Rigo. Rigo was good in his prime at his own weightclass. In 2017 at 130 who knows if he'd even beat those other bums? He did quit. He certainly looked great, but his record is too thin to be one of the best ever. They were idiots. It's what I do.
