I see people are already discrediting Loma’s win over Rigo...

If Loma fought Bud at 140lbs, do you think he's landing much? He's getting TKO out with a bodyshot.

 

I am waiting for anyone who is ranting about Rigo's two weight class jump, to tell me what difference did it make in the fight? Exactly what difference did disparity in size make in this fight? The answer is simple, none. Lomachenko beat the Cubano just with skills, that's all.

 

Marquez moved up 2 divisions to take on Mayweather, but showed balls of steal and no quit...he was 36

 

Oh wow, he beat a small 122 fighter two divisions north. What an incredible accomplishment.

 

So if Lomachenko was a career 105-pounder and 5'1 instead or a 130-pounder and 5'7, the fight would be exactly the same , is that what you believe ?

 

This

 

**** it, let's make Lomachenko the size of a mouse.
He'd beat Rigo the same, "'cos he did it with skills", size had no bearing on the fight ......
.... the logic.

 

I said before hand he wouldn't get credit. Three or four inch height advantage. 10 plus pounds weight advantage. Eight year age difference. The best Rigo highlights are all several years old. Yea, he would still beat the **** out of every 122 pounder, and 126 pounder, outside of maybe Russell Jr, that would be a good fight, but he ain't the same Rigo from the Donaire fight. His feet, and reflexes are a little slower now, as highlighted by Lomachenko the other night. Rigs said no excuses, he asked for the fight at the weight. Lomachenko said he didn't want the fight because Rigo is too small and old.

 

The excuse for losing to Salido was Salido was over weight and fought dirty. Rigo is 37 and had to fight two divisions up. Size all sudden doesn't matter to the same fans who cried about his loss. I predicted this would be a fairly easy fight for Loma due to age, size, deterioation. When odds makers have it 4:1, it's probably expected to be an easy fight. Given that, Loma is not going to get much credit. All things said by many before the fight. He's still the #1 P4P fighter but the win doesn't change much.

 

Well immediately after the fight, he discredited himself...

 

Not once did anyone bring up the stacked advantages had Loma going into this fight? I've been saying it since fight was announced. I've had Loma at #1 P4P since Ward left but reality is reality. There's no way Rigo was going to win this physical mismatch even if he was in his primej fighting two divisions up. It was quite evident how much bigger Loma was in that ring.

I know, I know. Size only matters when he lost to Salido who is nowhere near as talented as Loma. But size didn't matter when he beat Rigo. Funny how that works.

 

If my grandma had a mustache, she would have been grandpa. The point is he wasn't. There was a difference in size between Rigo and Loma but it didn't affect the fight.

 

But two pounds over the limit didn't matter against Salido right? That's all everyone was crying about when Loma lost. But two divisions is a no factor now. SMH.

Even Loma said Rigo needs to stay at the lower divisions post fight.

 

Size difference in Salido fight did matter, because that was a completely different fight. Salido uses his size adventage, Loma does not.
