B-Hop; Loma will KO Rigo late.

Hmm im not so sure. Loma's almost the complete package but if there's one thing he lacks it's KO power. And Rigo ain't exactly easy to hit

 

I can see Rigo tottering about at some stage and getting stopped on his feet, but late imo.

 

Shocking to see Hopkins pick the white guy.

 

Rigo is very strong. His power could carry. Loma's going to box him, not walk through him.

It's disappointing all of the guys who talked Rigo up so much for all these years - based on one close fight with Donaire - are making excuses now that Rigo is facing a potentially better boxer. They have all their excuses ready.

 

How will the extra muscle mass affect him? Plus he's late 30s ... Not sold on his chin either. Loma should win here but when u have Rigo type skill you can't count him out...

 

Like I predicted accurately in other fights, the size difference is not going to be as pronounced as people are expecting.

Loma is not going to walk through him. Rigo is strong and has the reach advantage.

 

There won't be extra muscle mass, the guy was hydrating as high as 128 5 years ago. He just won't be cutting as much weight, that's all.

 

I agree. People acting like Lomachenko is a giant lol

 

Cool. I am looking forward to fight week.. Faceoffs will be telling.

 

I suspect Loma will be slightly heavier, but probably no more than 5 pounds. But yeah, fighters rarely bulk up anymore, they are already cutting so much weight, a "move up" is just a decrease in cutting.

 

Give up. Lomachenko is huge & Rigo is tiny.

 

i will be betting on rigo

 

The size difference is a fact.
