Time to accept Lomachenko is too big for Rigondeaux

You hobos realize just about everyone Rigo has fought is bigger than him? Loma wouldn't be any different.

 

rigo has no business fighting any featherweight, he's a tiny man

 

Rigs is a small 122 pounder. Loma is a medium sized 126 pounder. I doubt Rigs would have an issue fighting him at 122 or at the 123 pound catchweight he had offered Donaire with the rehydration clause. I was glad he pummelled Donaire because guys that small shouldn't be allowed to outweigh their opponents by 10+ pounds in the ring. People didn't have a problem with it, but then some of the same people cried foul that Walters weighed what? Four pounds more than Donaire in the ring.

 

I wonder if he could make 118?

 

I'd be amazed if Nonito was "only" 5′ 5½". He looked more than just 1½" bigger than Naoya when he was helping in his training camp recently.

Lomas too good

 

I don't think a Loma-Rigo fight would be decided solely or principally on size, to be honest. Loma is a skillful guy who doesn't rely on his size or superior strength to win but on his boxing skill and technique. A size difference would be an advantage for Loma no doubt but 4lbs shouldn't make fight impossible.

Rigo - Walters for example would be a fight where size would be more of an issue and a determining factor.

 

Weight wise in the ring, I am not sure that Loma doesn't weigh the same or more than Walters weighed against Donaire.

 

I'm not sure either but Loma's style isn't centered around his size and strength/power like Walters' seems to be to an extent.

 

Right, Loma is a skilled boxer. A skilled bigger man, who also has height, reach, and mass over a similarly skilled smaller, more petite guy, would be a tough fight for the smaller guy. Not impossibly, but would pose problems.

 

What superior skill? Rigo is not superior to Loma.

 

The sequel is called, "Little Man with no chin".

 

Nicholas Walters is the MAN.
He beats both ---- probably by KO.

 

How would we know with Loma losing to the only brand name guy he fought? He could be matched with a few face first Mexicans also, to build his brand up.
