Delineation of Greatness: Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux

Lomachenko does everything superior to other fighters, but his footwork is what makes him so unique, never have seen footwork like that, creates angles that other fighters can only dream of.............

 

He's like a mini Usyk only better.

 

It had a lot to do with his feet. The way Rigo positioned his feet, when leaning back on his back leg, it didn't allow for much movement. He put too much weight on the back leg.

 

The other problem was that Rigo was ducking too low. Technically that's illegal, but it posed a couple more practical problems.

One, it left him looking at the canvas to much. Two, it allowed Loma to use his forearm and elbow to control him, without it looking to Willis like Loma was going out of his way to do it. Loma didnt have to extend his forearm away from his body. Rather, he just got on top of Rigo so the arm kept him locked in place while being in a more natural position.
