    30 years ago Arum was sure his middleweight champ Hagler was going to destroy Leonard. But Leonard did win.

    Much of the same situation now 30 years later. Lomachenko the agressor against the smooth Rigondeaux.

    Both at the top of their pro karriere. Rigo has delivered som k.o victories against good opponents. Do he have a good punchingpower now ?

    How do YOU see the fight ? i go with Rigondeaux.

    Loma by a couple rounds, possibly taking the **** out of Rigo the last couple rounds

    More like flashbacks of Whitaker vs Trinidad. That's the last time two p4p guys fought where there was such a huge height, weight, and age difference. Or maybe, Whitaker and Chavez vs De La Hoya. Back in the 80s Leonard and Hagler were roughly the same age and size even if Leonard had moved up. This will look more like Duran vs Hagler, except Duran wasn't as much older than Hagler as Rigondeaux is older than Lomachenko. It won't be quite as lopsided as Duran vs Hearns though, since Rigo actually has a slight reach advantage.
