Roberto Duran picks Rigondeaux..

Not even gonna make a prediction on this fight, they are both that good and skilled and talented....... Probably the two best, most skilled, and naturally talented fighters of this generation so I'd say this fight is as evenly matched and razor close as it can get. The total clash in styles makes it even more compelling if possible, and I suspect if one fighter wins by a larger margin than most expect, that will be a leading factor.

Everybody keeps bringing up the size difference and pointing to it as a main factor in Favoring Loma....... Yea, Loma is clearly the taller fighter but he has a small frame...... I also think Rigo's lack of size plays an integral role in his success, style, and is perfectly matched with his skillset and mentality as a fighter. He is a counter puncher who predominantly fights off the back foot. He rarely gets off first in exchanges, and his lack of size obviously means a smaller target to hit for his opponent, as if hitting him clean were easy in the first place.
