Learn how to read bottom feeder, I was making a comparison between Loma and Rigo. You want Loma to move up 3 divisions because he started at 126. Rigo only moved up 2...
the problem here is their are 2 polarised parties here opposed to the other and not accepting any quarter in their views. You both need to see the middle ground - 1. Loma just beat an elite from the division below in his 11th fight. deal with it. He made Rigo simply fold in the same time it took worst lennox to deal with best ever vitali. That is tremendous. 2. Loma had an advantage in size being grounded in this weight class, but not a huge advantage.
That is just ridiculous what you are saying... But nevermind. I am not denying anything, I am just waiting for anyone to justify their opinion, that different size of the fighters did affect this fight. That's all. Problem is no one can do it.
it was largely about skill, I have already said this. the issue is you denying some weight relevance. keep it up, because the irony is it only makes you look bad, and not Nomaschenko.... the irony being you are trying to defend Nomas when he needs no defence - Chenkos acheivement is good enough without you trying to embellish it.
I don't agree. Rigo was a better amateur than Gamboa, but as a pro Gamboa was far more proven. Gamboa beat Salido, Jonathan Barros, and Jorge Solis. Gamboa was inactive going into the Crawford fight, but was at least competitive before getting stopped. Rigo didn't even give himself a chance to win with all of the ducking low and clinching he was doing. The Gamboa that fought Crawford ices Rigo and puts a 12 round beating on Loma.
yeh but who did it in his 11th fight. that makes rigo a better win, although they are very close of course.
How about GGG go see Wilder if hes the truth. Hell he wouldn't even go see light punching Ward at 168. See how easy this game is???
In don't think iv seen Crawford start that slow in any other fight . And gamboa was able to land on him very regularly its just he couldn't put a bent in Crawford due to his size differnce. I still class it as a good win. Basically if some fans on here are going to tear into lomachenko over nonsense ,same thing will happen to Crawford. If someone has Crawford number one if no problem with that, if someone has loma number one is no problem with that. But we have idiots making p4p lists with loma at 10. And Crawford at 1 either because they are insane or trolling. As a result people will start tearing into crawford
Why not? People like you asked PBf to move up to 160 and fight GGG after he already had moved up from 130-154 at 40. Why not ask the same thing of a prime Loma? After all he's supposed to be better than PBF right?
I understand why Crawford and nearly all other fighters boil down to the safest weight they can maintain their strengths. My point was to highlight the similarity between what Loma did to Rigo and what Crawford did/does to his opponents. Why should Loma have to eat his way up to 140? Why should Crawford have to eat his way up to 160? They, nor any other fighter, shouldn’t have to eat their way up in order to give up all physical advantages and lose to whichever black/white/Latino fighter their respective hater(s) claims is their fistic kryptonite. Why can’t fans just accept and admire the quality of the fighters who selflessly risk their lives for our entertainment, regardless of race? Speaking of race, i’m curious to know yours. Before you take offense, I should point out that I identify as Hispanic/black and just learned, via my Ancestry DNA results, that I am 10% Irish. My only problem is with Pacquiao and other Asian fighters...just kidding!
