    He was clearly broken mentally, whatever it was with his swollen knuckles, fighting two weight classes too big without proper compensation, the weight of fighting against the system etc. He packed it in, and was like **** this. What was most disappointing was that Lomachenko still had a hard time hitting him clean, and he didn't even have to worry about incoming fire. I'd have expected an old veteran to at least try to possum up then try to unleash something. He possumed up, and possumed up, nothing ever came back.

    Nope. I paid my debt to society. @Drew101 picked that Bradley vs. Holt av that I rocked for a month.

    Which I actually didn't mind in the least, being a Bradley fan.

    Yep. He's probably my favorite boxer of the millennium so far along with Cristian Mijares and Israel Vázquez. JMM probably 4th.

    Needless to say, I like counter-savvy/offensive-minded technicians, and vastly prefer them over the defensively lax brawlers or safety-first pot-shotting spoilers end of the spectrum.

    youre going to be surprised at rigos performance level in his next big fight, and its not all due to his age and knock to his confidence, which are significant factors. the top fighters are no longer going to get discouraged and get so defensive against him, theyre gonna push him till his age and heart become the difference, which in turn will force rigo to fight outside his comfort zone.

    He couldn't return any fire because he has poor footwork and balance.

    All his weight shifted to his back foot and he bent over. So he was left with no angle to attack.

    The reason why fighters would get discouraged against him isn't because of some invincible aura, it's because he'd hit them with extremely sharp quick counters at the tiniest of mistakes. If he can still do that, losing against Loma will have no bearing on that.

    Though he should probably stay away from south paws, Loma definitely has provided a blueprint of sorts against him.

    He did, but that was because Rigo pretty much made himself legally unhittable for half the fight.

    I was a big fan of Rigo but when quit that ruined my day. To make it worse the guy doesn’t even give Loma any props he says he isn’t that good. Well he got you to quit so he must be better than you are saying or you must not be that good.

    Exactly, that is preposterous to suggest his opponents were already psychologically conquered before the opening bell like he was Tyson or something. He was a sharp accurate puncher unlike most of them had ever been in with, and it didn't feel good to get stung by him, that's all.

    Your Moon, Venus and Mars controls who and what you like. Aries, Leo and Sagittarius tend be be highly compatible. See a pattern here?:D For the records, Scorpios love Pisces and Cancers, so that's some double compatibility for it. Lke Elton John said, it was written in the stars.:deal: When the moons connect, that's an incredibly close emotional bond. Kessler is literally your lifemate.:sisi1
