The skill gap between Lomachenko and Rigo is pretty big

    Atleast for me, Klitschko lose a lot after Manny death. Banks is a complete joke. Klitschko didn`t even bother to listen to him. He can`t motivate him, he can`t tell him anything. Klitschko was the boss, and with Manny was complete opposite.
    Klitschko even say it was like he is training by himself. He is doing what he want and so on.
    Also age catch him up. It was very obvious. You can see it the statistics.
    He threw and land a lot less. He simply lose energy/cardio with the year, it`s normal. He throw a lot less punches and become less accuracy. He also lose a lot of speed in his foot and hands.
    And also start relying heavy on clinching. Thats shows you he lost stamina with age.
    It`s normal.
    Against Pulev he throw less then 20 punches a round, before 2014 i think Klitschko was the guy who throw/land most in the HW. He drop hes pace by a half.
    But still Fury took his head, as well as AJ.
    But i give more credit to AJ, because he was ready for the rematch, unlike Fury, who run 2 time from it.
    Klitschko should have end his career after Jennings fight. There it was pretty obvious he is no longer the boxer he was. Hes speed and quckiness was gone.
    It was normal the young lion would take his head.

    You do know Loma woulnd't be as good at 130lb though, due to added muscle mass, slowing him down? Hmmm

    I'll throw on top of that, in this scenario, Rigo is 29 and Loma is 37 as well.
    Do you think Loma is still dancing around the ring like that in 2-3 years, let alone 8 years?

    if that is so, he should have just rehired sdunek, or hired vitali.

    Actually, Vitali said that Vlad would have knocked Joshua out if he had not told Vlad to not go for the knockout after he had Joshua drunk, out on his feet............Vlad has Joshua out, all he had to do was finish him, but he let Joshua back into the fight by the 11th round. I would have picked Vlad in a rematch...............

    hadn't heard of this, but in any event, it's a disappointing lack of gratitude on McGregor's part--remember Loma kindly offered to be a sparring partner for McGregor during his Mayweather camp. ;)
