    There was no superiority. There was Loma that was willing to fight and there was Rigo who was not trying to fight or even imitate fight. How can you show superiority when your opponent doesn’t bother even to fake fighting? 6(!) landed shots for the whole fight from Rigo... Sorry it looked like a Rigo came after the money and that’s it.

    Lomachenko said this himself multiple times tonight.

    "he's too small & old, not interesting fight for me"

    In a backstage interview he said the fight would've went different 5 years ago @ 126. He basically blamed Rigo's performance on his age.

    Again, the superiority is unquestionable.

    You are searching for answers as to why Loma was so superior.

    You believe Rigo for the first time in 15 years decided he didnt want to win the fight, I disagree, but one thing is for sure, he was outclassed by a huge gap tonight.

    What a masterful display from Loma.

    No positives?

    It was all positives.

    It was actually 16 punches landed...still insane, but to hear it from this guy...Loma wasnt superior and didnt out class Rigo...the fight left more questions than answers...

    Hell...I wander if Tyson vs Spinks went down today would some hardcore haters be like..."Tyson wasnt superior. Spinks is still better. He just didnt try. "

    You still cant claim Tyson didnt demonstrate superiority on basis Spinks didnt seem to try.

    Tyson ran over Spinks like a tank! Lomachenko did not want the Rigo fight, but Rigo fans did, Rigo fans said that Lomachenko did not stand a chance against Rigo, Danny Garcia said that Rigo would knock Lomachenko out.............Lomachenko did what was demanded of him..............it proved that Lomachenko is faster and much more skilled than Rigo..............

    HAHAHA. Rigo was fine in round one, than got badly outclassed. Clinching and fouling did not work, and he was hurting.

    Lomo clowned a undefeated top pound for pound champion. Don't be a tool and act like the fight did not boost Lomo's legacy.

    That champion didn't do anything to put up a fight, that's the end of the story.
    When you fight against someone who isn't even trying, that doesn't boost anything. That's a disappointing fight that leaves a lot of questions instead of answers.

    A win is a win.

    While I don't think you can go over the top about it all things considered Loma did what he had to do and did it very well.

    And nobody should take a leak over it, it's one thing not being overly impressed with the fight but I don't think you can criticise Loma for doing his job.

    With all respect, we are not speaking about wining the fight, Rigo even didn't try just to fight. How can we speak about someone's superiority when the other side is not even trying to put a fight? The guy just came for money. Last Loma's fight was a win you are talking about but this one is not.
