LMAO! And look at the idiots that liked this post! Same ones that cry about hypocrisy. Loma schooled the **** out of Rigo with speed and skill. Who was the one deducted a point for holding like John Ruiz?? Not the bigger (By 8lbs! Wow!) or taller fighter Rigo even tried the Ward route with a blatant low blow! Lol Didn’t save him. I LOVE how Loma chin checked his ass after the round was over when Rigo wanted to try and bend him arm. That’s how guys like Loma have to deal with those people... fight dirty right back! Hopefully Kovalev does the same thing if that **** happens to him again.
These guys were all on Rigo's nuts for years but apparently never saw him box before. I dont know what they were expecting, Rigo to morph into a mini Tyson? He always used his reach and low stature to be elusive and pot shot hard but sporadic counters. There was nothing out of character about his performance. Loma slipping his counter attempts and breaking his defense was the difference.
Just schooled myself a bt on Russia / Ukraine. Apparently I don't know anything and all my assumptions were wrong lol
The only thing out of character was that the counters missed. As you said, Rigo relies exclusively on them to make his opponents reluctant to throw themselves. He had no plan B once that got taken away. The closest thing to a backup plan he had was to do a crappy imitation of a spoiler.
Like all of Loma's opponents its not a question of effort but them simply being locked down and not having an answer. The only thing they can do is eat punishment and hope for a hail mary, which is why they retire in their corner.
Anyone interested in purchasing some souls? Loma's doing a soul auction at MSG this Thursday. Bidding starts at 7:00 pm The souls of Rigo, Axe-man, Jason Sosa, and Marriaga are all up for auction. Perhaps one of their devoted fanboys can purchase their idol's soul and send it back to them so they can feel whole once again.
lol yes they do. Unfortunately Loma refused to put Rigo's and Axe-Man's 0's up for auction though, said he was using them to keep his plums warm lol.
Kov was ****ed if he tried that back with Ward. Ref would've been all over him, he knew what he was up against that night. Lucky that Loma was the stronger fighter and could pull out or half rag doll Rigo off him. Rigo was clinging for dear life, he had the grip of fear on Loma until the ref was on him for it !
Not sure how people got duped in to thinking this was a legit fight? This had less of a chance of being competitive than Mayweather vs McGregor.
A great fighter 2 weight classes below who had not fought 3 rounds in 2 years, and whose last notable win was 4 years ago
An 8 pound difference. Thats how Rigo operates and his standing had not dropped much until last night. You are not enlightened, everyone here knows the context of the fight. Rigo was an important opponent and its an important win, you arent going to change that with info everyone already knows. You can make a case for Rigo not being Loma's best win, but where you guys are fumbling is trying to insist it was a meaningless fight.
