    This fight will happen soon. Who do you think will win?

    I got Loma because he's bigger and younger.

    Lomachencko has no defense that can save him from the counter punches. His last match proved it and he admitted it. That is the chink in his armor plus he does not like pressure which Rigo won't apply anyway. His best bet is to overwhelm Rigondeaux if he can catch him.
    Tip#1 - A counter punch is slower than an offense punch. If Vasyl stays moving he won't get caught flush.
    Tip#2 - Experience is more important than youth and size. We just watched Mayweather sweep up a bunch of dudes over the years and his biggest fish,Canelo, just made the KO king of 160 look like an amateur when he beat him far easier than anyone has ever come close to doing. Rigo has the experience over Loma professionally.


    The draw back in this fight will be work rate. Loma has a high work rate, Rigo has a low one. Rigo is more of the counter fighter and Loma is offensive minded. If Loma lets Rigo dictate the fight after the 5th round Rigo is going to win unless Loma really turns it up.

    The only edge Rigo has in this fight is his reach. If he can use his reach to land hid jab and catch Loma coming in with power shots and counters and control range and dictate distance he has a very slim chance. With that said I don't think that will happen because his reflexes have eroded and Loma is still prime.

    Rigo has a longer reach, but Loma is taller.

    I know but he can still use his longer arms to his advantage.

    Rigo is getting knocked out. He has a Glass Jaw and isn't going to be able to deal with the size and punch output of Loma.

    Such a great matchup. I'm leaning for Loma because of size, but I wouldn't mind seeing Rigo win. A win for Rigo would be a huge FU to all the people and networks that shunned him, like it's his fault he's too good. All in all, I hope it's a great fight.

    I don't know? It's a real 50/50 fight and it all depends on the first 4 rounds and who is in control. Both are technical masters. I honestly can't predict a winner but I'm going for Rigondeaux.
