    They're similar wins, both Rigo and Mikey undefeated, coming way up from their natural weight and losing convincingly vs Loma and Spence respectively. So who's the better win? Mikey or Rigo?

    Were there people here tipping Mikey to beat Spence?

    I know there were at least a few people who backed Rigo to beat Loma, but that was probably just wishful thinking on their part for whatever reason. :rolleye:

    Remember
    Rigo gonna break dat boy jaw.
    You're right, I remember there was a 60/40 70/30 split in favor of Loma on here, many thought Rigo would knock Loma out.

    And then when Rigo pulled a No Mas job, a good portion of those people who backed Rigo then proceeded to throw him under the bus. :lol:

    Spence win was better because Mikey only came up one weight class. He had came off of beating Lipinet at 140. Plus he's currently still fighting at 147, in which he won his last fight at 147 against Jesse Vargas.

    Spence beating Mikey. Mikey had come off a decent-ish win at 140lbs and wasn't massively dwarfed. Meanwhile, Rigo was an old man who was small even at 122 and had to move up two classes to fight a bigger, primed fighter. In retrospect, the bout should've never happened in the first place. It did nothing for Loma's resume when you take into account contextual factors.

    Loma. His victorious and dominating performance that night is an art itself.

    I thought Rigo had a chance. Oops.

    I would have said loma vs rigo but he was to small and to old Mikey was more game
