    Whatever the size lomachenko is far more skillful anyway.
    One way traffic I'm afraid and I'm going to remind people like you after the fight just so you keep learning about this sport

    He appears to have a wider range of physical skills...but boxing history is full of low skill guys getting to the top...Marciano, Frazier etc .

    Loma is still very "unproven" in many ways...there is an outside chance that he might be hit table by the southpaw left of Rigo. If he is ..he could be in trouble...

    Agreed. He has a heavier build and frame quite noticeably, just shorter.

    Yeah I agree, very interesting though.

    Lomachenko has a great work rate, Rigo must be planning on him walking onto something

    You said rigo has a major skill set advantage. I've watched boxing for years and I watch all the greats footage.
    So for you to say this against the most talented boxer I have EVER seen I obviously think your talking out your ass. But then you think I'm talking out of mine so....

    Hardly Moises Flores is 5' 9" and weighed 142 in the ring. Bigger than Loma.

    This is true remember in that Frosty the Snowman cartoon when he was murdered by professor Hinkle by trapping him in a greenhouse. He couldn't take the heat, and wasnt used to the temerature. A floridian would have survived. :zplayita:

    These pictures make these two look a lot closer in height. Maybe just a 1 or 2 inch height difference

    On the scene

    I don't think Lomachenko had put his shoes back on yet for the stare down. That's why they looked closer in height. One inch, or three inches, won't make a difference in that ring tomorrow night, El Dedor de la Cabaza will be cooking up a pumpkin pie after several rounds.

    That is probably what it is because the pics from the other day looked like a solid 3 inch gab between these two. When I saw the pics on the scene the height differential didn’t look so extreme. Rig definitely looks like he’s added some weight. More filled out and as always, ripped. The bookies may be getting an influx of bets for Rig today

    mass is different from height and reach. Rigondeaux has faced guys who balloon up with water weight from 122. Lomachenko will be much more solid than them, because he is a 130 pounder.
