    Rigondeaux was a certified BEAST. Dude had the best footwork in the game and his nuclear left hands came in faster than a Tesla P100D in Ludicrous Mode. But Loma schooled, clowned, and humiliated Rigondeux and turned him into Quitgondeaux. So after one of the greatest wins of the modern era, is Unca Bob's comment not so cre cre no more?

    Bob also said that about Pac.

    But before the Rigo fight I said depending on how Loma does it could be a game changer. In that Ali changed the game, Tyson, Floyd in what is seen as a technically superior way of fighting. After Ali everyone was dancing, after Tyson everyone thought about bobbing and weaving constantly, after Floyd you have all the kids at the gym trying to shoulder roll.

    I think all of those guys above apart from their technical superiority had something else going on for them, genetics. With Loma, I believe you could take a decent talent like Ricky burns when he was a kid, give him Lomas trainer, and he would be an ATG. It seems everything he does is learned, footwork, reactions, moves etc.

    No crazy power, speed, chin, heart - just the best technical boxing we ever seen.

    It's a complete joke of a comment.

    A dude with 11 career professional fights is now the best boxer since Ali. He just dispatched someone who was a lot SMALLER and OLDER. Lomo did what he had to do, nothing more.

    Don't get me wrong, he's good but he has a TON to prove to get to any level with the greats.

    Rigo was old and shot.

    According to World Anti-Doping Agency regulations, the routine practice of administering IV fluids (>50 mL per 6 hours) to healthy individuals is prohibited. The code states the following in section M2, numeral 2: “Intravenous infusions and/or injections of more than 50 mL per 6 hour period are prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions or clinical investigations.

    Saline Jr. received FIFTEEN BAGS... that's 14X more than the allowable limit. In one sitting.
