so, is this fight between the two two-time olympic gold medalists still interesting, now that loma lost? if so who do you think will win? personally i think rigondeaux spanks him, better defense/movement, and much harder counters, both to the body and the head. it could be similar to the nonito donaire fight, except loma is slightly faster throws 3-4 fast shots instead of the one punch bomb that donaire does.
I think Loma is a bit open to the body and Rigo has great bodypunching, I think he'd win based on the Salido performance.
At the moment rigo by 5 or 6 rounds, pretty easy work, the hype around loma was just silly let him develop for about 4-5 fights at least
Loma is a better amatuer, and rigo very much fights an amatuer style, plus Loma is bigger. Had Rigo faught someone the size of Salido, he would have suffered more knockdowns than the two he has already had in the pro ranks.
Rigo would box circles around this kid. Now obviously Rigo doesn't have big time power, so if Vasyl threw caution to the wind and continued to come forward, maybe he'd have some success. But Rigo's counterpunching ability is too good, I think he'd take him to school. Probably 9-3 or 8-4 type of fight.
