    I don't like him personally, he rubs me the wrong way, I think he's a vomit of a human being, it literally oozes from his pores. And I typically can't stand hyper defensive fighters. There's a pattern of that on here for me. I don't mind defense, I appreciate it, if you can at least try to mix in as much offense as possible alongside it.

    It's not in the league of no mas. It was bad on his part, I'm disappointed as a fan, but there's been far worse quit jobs.

    Is your mum stupid? I participate in this forums gamesmanship as most others do. My gut told me Loma was too young, to big, to quick, but I hopped on the boat with my fighter, and I went down with it so what. I'm a fan of Lomachenko too, just been following Rigs career longer, and I often root for the underdog. As if you've never picked wrong before? You can check the forums fight league and see that my percentage for picking the correct winner for fights is one of the best percentages on the forum, last year and this year.

    No, Rigo was one of the best of his weight and generation. As Loma pointed out, they are not in the same weight class and Rigo is old now.

    Why though? Did he offend you? Did you lose money on the Donaire fight? What makes him a vomit of a human being? I don't get the hate?

    Yes and why is it this seems lost on Ward fans cause I always ask em about would they watch boxing if every fighter was allowed to clinch,hold wrestle for twelve rounds and that’s not counting the head butts,low blows ect the other thing that Rigo does and Ward dipping beneath the waistline is illegal but rarely does it get called on.

    No I picked Rigo to beat Donaire. I'm just like that, I get gut feelings with people, I see right through them, and I'm usually a fairly good judge. He just comes across as a passionless, negative, unpleasant, bitter sort. I don't hate him, I just don't like him and the his in ring style.

    Yes there’s something there all right and it’s not you CST80,put it this way would anyone have him babysit the kids lol.........thought not.

    Does Rigo smoke cigarettes lol,not sure if I’m tripping but I’m sure I once watched a thing about him where it showed him smoking.

    Just basic judge of character stuff,well after last night I reckon there’s gonna be a lot of we’ll meaning Rigo fans who have backed his little campaign for this fight only to see him paw out his jab a few times never mind his left and then quit when realised he had zero chance of a points win from six down and even lesser chance of getting a KO,that spoilt expression he wears on his face at the best of times was in danger of getting knocked off his face in the latter half of that fight,Rigo knew this if his fans didn’t and it actually turns out that the minute he was seriously tested he didn’t want even show his fans any heart or tenacity.
    Wladimir Klitschko take a bow for being a good guy and passing on the torch to a guy who you made dig so deep and unlike Rigo found that when tested he did have that something in him that true champions have.
    Rigo after this can now slink off back into obscurity albeit with his God like status and tough guy image shattered in pieces.

    The English for years had "Retired in Corner" as a legit ending for a fight.

    Man, I don't get the hate being expressed toward Rigo. Strikes me as a good man. Who wouldn't be a bit bitter with the way he was treated in Cuba after doing so much for his country? Kept from his family. These guys from Cuba have had it very tough. Not everyone is an outgoing charmer.

    Didn’t know that about his left,when did it break though cause all I saw from the off was his pawing jab and even that never landed.
    Don’t wanna be smug even though I feel it lol I was just amazed so many thought this to be 50/50 and not just giving Rigo a chance but they seemed to think Rigo was gonna “school” Lomo,that on top of Rigo having the power of Mike Tyson and was gonna break Rigos jaw and will,this is the stuff that was being said and in my mind we’d been here months before with those going off on Broner expecting him to beat Mikey Garcia and do something different to what he always did(come up short at the top)

    My confidence in Lomo v Rigo also came from watching Shawn Newton’s vids on YouTube,say what you like about the guy but his boxing knowledge is pretty serious and his life’s work of calling out Boxing Ego and the rest Of the LBDC community is not only funny to watch but nessacery as it’s these big boxing shill channels who pedal the race card and are constantly bugging up the likes of Rigo,Ward ect and literally s*******g on the likes of Kovalev,GGG and guess who?.........Lomachecko who in there blind hatred seem to think they can crap on the career of Lomo and dare to say that Rigo would be his biggest test.
    Well I ain’t been on Egos site but I’m betting there’s some excuse somewhere and I just know they’ll give Lomo zero credit for this.

    LBDC community YouTube channels are race baited,shill.Psy Op channels and all repeat the same lies according to their agendas.

    Perhaps I weighed in a little hard and I don’t envy anyone who’s put up with that regime.
    Funny thing about Cuba and it was the same in Russia that those successful Amateurs whilst not allowed to turn pro were treated with God like status and were paid pretty well so it’s not like they were poverty stricken like the general population.
