    Geale was at least knocked down twice. Lomachenko is so good he makes normally excellent boxers quit in sheer frustration. The Picasso of pugilism. Size was not a factor IMO the disparity in skill level was the deciding factor.

    Franga on the money.

    Rigo too small, too old & too inactive. The fights he has had in the last couple of years ended early so they weren't much use to him either.

    Rigo won his gold medals in 2000 & 2004. Loma won his in 2008 & 2012.

    Big difference right there. I mean, Fraudley Harrison won a gold medal in 2000. That's how long ago it was.

    It had the illusion of a competitively matched fight, but wasn't.

    LOL how can you say that size was not a factor. It was one of many factors Loma's skill being the main one.

    On the money as usual Francis.
    After about the 4th round I could see the No Mas coming.
    At least Rigo's quit was against a bigger man not like Geales quitting against the much smaller Cotto.

    He will train his fighters to quit when the going gets tough.

    Geale was very weak for that fight and hampered by weight problems.
    Yes he quit but against Golovkin and Quinlan he went out like a warrior .

    Yeah I was pumped for it but ultimately let down. Perhaps I downplayed the size difference too much but still Lomas footwork is sublime. I think he could win titles up to 140 as the smaller man he's that good.

    He beat the count the ref asked him if he wanted to continue and he shook his head no.

    He needs to take his lumps for GGG I think he could have done more but didn't want it. In saying this he knew what was gong to happen so he probs save a couple of years on his life .

    Quinlan he was ktfo wasn't he so not much he could do about that...

    So who is paying to watch the Horn kid fight the Cocoran bum?
    The under card looks full of mismatches.
