    I mean... I just can't see Lomachenko getting dropped like this by the Japanese dude. Not in a million years. 2:40

    I think it’s time to face reality. Rigondeaux and Lara are skilled at what they do. They are excellent boxers, but they are ONE DIMENSIONAL. They can only fight one way and that’s how they win.
    That was why Rigo lost to a more versatile fighter like Loma and that is why I see Lara getting train wrecked if ever he dares steps in with Golovkin.

    Lara is far more boring, absolutely no power against upper level opposition. Rigondeaux is more frustrating. Clearly has fight changing power, but never developed any offensively aggressive techniques to maximize his offense. Never learned infighting. Absolutely no comfort level inside. The last fight he fought inside that I recall was Cordoba, and he looked awkward doing it, although he held his own, and didn't get hit much. That should have been worked on and improved. Rigo is too gifted and athletic to not have developed a better all around game.

    Rigo ks frustrating to watch... but his movements are beautiful. Watching Lara is like watching a porno starring John Goodman going in on Jamie Foxxx.

    I like watching Lara. His fights with Angulo, Canelo and Williams were his best fights. He needs to be matched aganist fighters that come to him with alot of activity.

    Rigo on the other hand just doesn't throw enough. His best fight with Donaire was still boring af.

    Lara is diabolically contrary. He had no business going the distance with Delvin Rodriguez - the guy was there to be taken out for round after round, but there seemed to be no intuitive grasp of the situation from Lara, no drive to turn the screw and close the show.

    He's not heartless. He's got fight in him when forced to show it. But that's the only time he cares to, and those occasions have been rare.
