Rigo is better fighter of the two, i know i will now hear **** from Loma fans but Rigo dominated Donaire who was proven not just unproven talent like GRjr... Lomachenko is very good but he aint Rigo, Rigo wins 9 3 kind of UD.
Loma is quite a bit bigger than Rigo. Loma is a big 126, whereas Loma could probably fight at 118 if he had to.
You've never seen Lomachenko fight. He can't be outboxed. He most likely knocks-out Rigondeaux. His pressure is crazy good; he applies consistent pressure without being hit. Also, Rigondeaux has yet to fight a pressure fighter. Donaire was made to order for him. Donaire is **** on the front-foot, and more and more it looks like he was past prime.
Lomachenko is 396-1 in amateurs and Rigo is 475-12. You don't know sh*t about boxing if you think that Rigo would be able to outbox Loma.
Just no clear way of making a solid prediction. Life or Death, I'd probably pick Rigo simply due to his greater pro experience. This is a fight that should happen, though my preference would be that Loma gains a little more pro experience first.
For Rigo to win he is going to have to up his punch output against Loma. Will he be willing to risk that? Not sure.........
Loma is still learning the pro game albeit very quickly. Rigo has fought for years as a pro and has fought better opponents. Loma needs to relax now that he has a title, fight some top 10 guys and hone his craft. He is very young and has plenty of time to perfect his style as a pro. He is a tremendous body puncher already so that bodes well for him but Rigo right now would be a dumb move.
