    Care to expound on what you're saying, literally at all? Or are we all to just agree with your inference?

    Rigo is equal to or greater than Loma in terms of Am's (2 gold medals) Pro's (Multiple belts, win over a p4p fighter--which Loma doesn't have), the only variable is the EYE test, hence why I said technical advantage and SKILLS.

    Want to further your answer, friend?

    If he's getting outjabbed and decides to up the tempo and try and get inside, there's so many ways it can unfold for Loma. I have Loma as my P4P 3 at the moment just above Rigo, but I don't think he beats Rigo. Loma's style plays into Rigo's strengths, its just the way I see this fight. I had Manny way above JMM when they was both active and always knew JMM was kryptonite for Manny's style.

    Friend, saying someone "box circles" around Rigo is foolish. It's as slanderous as saying someone would just box circles around Loma. Leave that trolling fan boy stuff someplace else.

    How you can suggest Rigo is possibly a greater amateur than Lomachenko is beyond me. they are eual in major hardware and Loma had a better record hands down so that outlook just shows your bias.

    All this hyperbole over Rigo's skills mean little considering he fights at his own pace and has shown to be vulnerable when pushed or even hit to any appreciable degree yet people are advancing this narrative that he will hurt Loma. If anything Lomachenko is the one who has shown the ability to adapt and higher ring I.Q. the way he adapted to being hit low and took over nearly stopping Salido late in their fight. Every subsequent fight has been an exercise in Loma adapting and shutting down his opponent, making a come forward fighter in marriage go backwards in his most recent performance.

    But Rigo took away Donaire's left hook and still managed to get dropped. He cannot walk on water is not some boxing genius like this narrative that is being bandied around.

    Naw bro: Everyone knows Loma is boxing's equivalent of a short bus rider while the mighty Rigo is a mulitple Rhodes scholar with an I.Q. that would make Einstein blush.

    Well outside major am tournaments what do the records matter, really? Especially with the massive amounts of ? decisions in AM's across the board, from the USA to North Korea to South Africa etc etc.

    Your second paragraph you didn't cite anything specific, in fact you used wide ranging statements to avoid providing any back up, with the exception of the Salido fight. Loma still lost that fight though, despite the BS. So can you try to better articulate your point, friend?

    You are right Nonito at 122 was a monster puncher one of the most dramatic knock out I have ever seen was against Montiel the poor guy was jumping in the canvas like a chicken without head just pure reflex.

    You remind me of a tail that wags the dog. If you think I have any intention of letting you walk me around in circles you are sadly mistaken, FRIED!

    Flores was not even hurt, he was angling for the DQ just like Santana did vs Terry Norris.

    "Broken bones, pumpkin faces" nice hyperbole weirdo!

    Well buddy, it's just as slanderous as saying that Loma will fight Rigo face first. It's just not possible. They can both box each other's ears off, it'll just depend who can first. That's how skilled both of them are, friend.

    You are kidding Flores fell like a sack of potato regarding my hyperbole just look on his videos have you ever seen more destruction of any fighter's face than Amagaza we are talking about 122 pounder.

    At this stage it's Loma, probably even prime for prime too. If the fight happened sooner though it's more of a toss up. Reason I pick Loma is because they're both incredibly skilled but Loma is bigger, younger, and more athletic.

    It's interesting because neither has faced one like the other. They're both unique, one of a kind talents. Sadly the window for a competitive match up has passed.

    Hope I'm wrong.
