It's a damn shame that people are so quick to discredit a fighter for choosing a good opponent like Rigondeaux before the fight has even started. Just makes it sound like they have no faith in Rigo and are already making excuses. Just give the man some credit if he does pull a convincing win.
I don't even want Crawford to fight Mikey or Loma who I hold in much higher respect than Rigo. He's the best at 140 and his critics would just cry about his size advantage, ya know like how Loma has in this fight. Time to move up for him. Go back and post some quotes of me doing this lol.
Rigo is a 40 year old midget who defends his belt once a year against the Jazza Dickens' of the world LOL.
Ohhh I won't be. I'm actually expecting it. And I hope he does after all the **** Rigoblin talked over the years.
THEY know what's coming Watching that little twitter turd Rigo get that shaky chin cracked and matrixed apart will be a nice early Christmas present THANK YOU UNCLE BOB!
Rigo stands at 5'5 where Lomachenko is 5'6. One inch difference is not much by any stretch of the imagination. Compare that to Crawbully, who stands at 5'8 weighing in over 160lbs come fight night, and fighting bums who are in their mid 30's with a average height of 5'5 - 5'6 who weigh 140lbs and there you will see a significant size advantage.
And the same Turds that praise Crawford are the ones that keyboard bashed The Klitschko's during their decade long reign. "Bu.. Bu.. But they jus bigger than their opponents, doe!"
Nope.. Would say Crawford is fighting someone 18 lbs below his fighting weight class and would call it a FARCE
Well since he's a far more well rounded fighter, with both brilliant offensive and defensive skills and a southpaw, which has been an issue for Rigo in the past, yeah, he can and will outbox him.
