    A google translation of Vasyl's comment:
    'how much can you crow? We offered you a fight, you have merged ... You're not consistent and plant misleading his fans! See on video ... You bore me with their stupid call to battle! I think you translate what I wrote here .. .'

    Rigo hasn't fought ANYONE in almost 4 years! Lomachenko turned pro and is now P4P Top 5 in that time! Rigo ducked Loma so shamelessly and is boring af! Rigo is literally a side show. Lomachenko IS the matrix because he blends offence with defence the way RJJ did, whilst being steps ahead of his opponent. Rigo is NOT a matrix fighter.

    I can't believe fans of Loma wouldn't be a fan of Rigo. Must be some other agenda. Rigo is a sublime boxer. I honestly don't know who would win if they fought at the same weight. Right now it's a mismatch in size. Obviously two guys with about the same skillset, the larger guy will win.

    Am I the only one on this board whose favorite fighters are Mayweather, Rigo and Loma? Some fans here think you can't be a fan of both. F the stupid EE/USA/Cuban lines. I'm just a fan.

    I would look at "Matrix" to reference defensively skilled fighters who can be in front of you and make you miss at will. Both have that skill, we already know Loma is the more offensive fighter but with a style like his, would open him up to getting hit a lot more, depending on who he fights that doesn't have the lack of heart Walters had. That's to be expected.

    Rigo can be offensive when he wants to, which showed against that Jap he fought not too long ago. Everybody was shocked how good that fight was IIRC.

    Fair enough, it's not what the HBO crew had in mind when they meant 'matrix' fighter. RJJ would be the ultimate case of it, hell, he even was an actor in Matrix lol.

    I don't always agree with the opinion of HBO broadcasters as they seem to go a little overboard with their preferred fighters nowadays. Loma deserves all the praises though.
