Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux who wins

Yeah, I pick Rigo also for that reason. The biggest question mark is how Rigo would deal with Loma's size advantage.

 

If Rigo could fight on the inside I would pick him but he can't. I think Loma can be had there. Loma is bigger than Rigo and I would probably lean towards Loma.

 

Loma is very good. He has great technique and ability, I really like his patience and how he is able to keep a cool head (a lot of people see this as a negative) and this guy is really good to watch. But Loma seems like a very well rehearsed and drilled fighter where as Rigondeaux just does things that you shouldn't be able to do. When I watch Loma I think, that's good boxing great straight punches, footwork and keeping your hands up coming up, that's what you're taught and you're pulling it off perfectly. When I watch Rigondeaux I think, how the bloody hell is this guy even doing this?

 

Yes, on video Rigo looks the better of the two but Loma's amateur record was better and has pushed himself more in his early pro career.

 

Perfectly stated.
Rigo isnt calling him out.
There are plenty of fish in the 122-130 sea for them to split, and Loma can hone his craft for 2-3 yrs Koing the Dibs and Agbekos before he and Rigo get it on.

It's almost an inevitable TR matchup......just not one needs to be made with a 13-0 vs a 2-1 guy. Give em both a couple yrs to build reputation.:thumbsup

 

Rigo has perhaps the best amateur record in history. But I would say they are competitive on the amateur level. It's the pro level where Rigondeux is light years ahead and undefeated.

No one has come close to beating Rigondeux while Lomachenko has already lost and hasn't really beaten anyone of note in his career.

 

Rigondeux won 2 gold medals and faced better competition in the amateurs as well as in the pros.

 

The sooner this fight happens, the better for Rigo. Loma's already dangerous. A more experienced version, along with that size advantage, would be a very tall task- even for a supremely skilled operator like Rigo.

I rate Rigo's H2H skills very highly, but his style isn't built to score well on a larger pure boxer who doesn't expose himself by making many technical mistakes and who has great defense. Rigo would have to go out of his comfort zone and press the action- be the aggressor- to win. Maybe he's good enough to pull it off, but I think it's a step too far if he doesn't go for it before Lomachenko completely adjusts to the pro game.

 

You idiots
