    Im going to start by saying im not a big fan of Rigo. I find him boring as **** sometimes and I was rooting for Donaire when they fought a long time ago. Having said that I know when i see greatness in the ring and he is probabaly the most talented boxer in my lifetime.
    Is it just me or does anyone else think that Rigo has the capability to do to Loma what he did to Nonito. He could smell the joint out with boredom but I honestly think he could outclass and make Loma look like what he was not too long ago, an amateur......thoughts???

    I think they both have the ability to completely do the other one over and the best thing about it is, we are gonna find out. I think Loma is the favourite and rightly so but imagining Rigo to completely do over Loma? Stranger things have happened in boxing and dont be shocked if he makes Loma look basic. The casuals wont understand the quality of this bout but for the mere boxing fans this bout is orgasmic, may the best king win.

    The skill level is so high for both these guys, I'm not going to even try to break it down. Anything can happen here, and I'm just going to enjoy the show.

    I think Loma will take the role of the aggressor and will be open to counters all night.

    Loma will show more dimensions & outbox Rigo, why take the risk of being the aggressor & give Rigo his only chance to score a KO?

    "Outclass" Loma? No. Both guys are top class.

    I can see Rigo getting totally overpowered, I can't see many scenarios in which either really outclasses the other.

    1/4 odds on a Loma win sounds about right.

    I feel Rigo is slicker than Loma, but Loma has more firepower and can get to Rigo eventually.

    Donaire start at flyweight, lomachenko start at featherweight. That's 4 weight class difference. Donaire while at his prime at the time but off his peak. Rigo was at his prime at the time, not too sure come this December.
    While Loma just hit his peak. Both has strong amateur pedigrees, which means both have solid fundamentals.
    There is a bigger chance that Loma might overwhelm Rigo.

    I got rigo on this. He won't be aggressive until he has to. I can just see lomo dancing around and rigo countering. People forget rigo is no slow coach himself he can beat lomo to the punch.
