    That's less than 3 landed punches per round. And none of those were hard or clean. This guy did absolute jack ****.

    I'm sitting here thinking how this is just insane. I can't believe it was this one sided.

    Lomachenko is a genius though.

    Exactly. I had Rigo a slight favorite. I'm a slight jackass.

    Loma rarely ever gets caught despite the fact that he's a front foot aggressive fighter who puts himself in the danger zone and throws a lot of shots and comes to put on a show, not a back foot safety first bore who only throws 4 or 5 punches a round and refuses to take risks. That's like barely getting wet when you're running through a downpour naked with no umbrella vs walking through it with waterproof clothing on and a big umbrella.

    I'm trying to decide if it's at all possible Rigo's hand was indeed hurt early.

    I'm ready to believe it was just an excuse, but who knows.

    At ~1:38 left in the first round, it does maybe look like Rigo landed his left on Loma's elbow. But it's hard to tell.

    I agree it does, but Rigo didn't even want to test fate. Loma landed the better, cleaner, harder punches. He landed 55 punches, but many were jabs and partially blocked blows. He wasn't exactly teeing off on Rigo. He just made him look foolish and unskilled.

    Rigo didn't even test his own chin. If he had opened up and allowed himself to take risks he would have gotten nailed hard a few times, perhaps many times. But at least he'd have gave himself a chance to win the fight.

    Size matters, but Rigo prides himself on his accuracy. This was a poor performance by him that can't just be handwaived away. That's saying something since he came in with, essentially, a free pass to not have his stock drop if he lost.

    The win doesn't surprise me. Forcing a no mas and not allowing Rigo to lay a glove on him does. I was expecting at least some solid counters to find their mark.

    You had 2 elite, top drawer fighters go into a fight tonight and 1 was stripped down and made to look pedestrian.

    I never thought I'd see the day in which Rigo was averaging 2 punches a round connection and forced into holding and blatant fouling.

    Long live Vasyl NoMoreachenko.

    Rigo just had too much going against him. Lomachenko was bigger, had better timing, younger and his tactical plans were more developed--he already knew Rigo's trick bag and how to deal with it.
