Vasyl "Hi-Tech" Lomachenko vs Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux is coming up fast

Watch this video. What if Sosa had the intuition to counter like Rigo? https://youtu.be/5aJWlECA6U0 Well then i believe Loma would have respected him more and fought more cautiously like he did against Walters

Technically, with the sweet science, how does Rigo avoid exchanges? Did he use something call defense against Donaire? 50 years old? So Foreman winning the WBA and IBF against Moorer who was the favorite? This will be more like Rigo vs Cordoba but Loma's levels is miles above Cordoba's

Technically, with the sweet science, how does Rigo avoid exchanges? Did he use something call defense against Donaire? 50 years old? So Foreman winning the WBA and IBF against Moorer who was the favorite? Yeah but Donair's a counter puncher, both were waiting to capitalise on each other mistakes, when donaire was behind he had to chase Rigo who was more committed to keep to his style in the fight,danaire had to switch styles because he was being out counterpunched,Lomachenko is has a completley different style then donaire,it will be a different fight

Been wanting to see this fight as a neutral for the longest time. I fücking love it when two technical fighters clash let alone possibly the most technical fighters we've seen in recent times. Seriously looking forward to Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko. Two weeks away :boxing:

The real question is... How much hype branding Rigo will get if he beats Loma? Vs How much hype branding Loma will get if he beat Rigo? And, if it’s fight of the year going 12 and a slit dec., will industry push hard and acknowledge merited promotion the next time He’s almost 50 years old and he’s gonna be avoiding exchanges the whole fight cause of his fragile chin there is no branding him he’s gonna get knocked out

And, if it’s fight of the year going 12 and a slit dec., will industry push hard and acknowledge merited promotion the next time Rigo will get his due credit if he wins, maybe not from Arum but Arum's not his promotor so he doesn't need to give it,New media on the net are fully behind Rigondeaux,he has a lot of fans rooting for him and i don't think anyone would deny him p4p number 1 if he wins this fight,i'm sure Teddy atlas will give the man his props too on the espn broadcast as he rates Rigondeaux also highly, Loma will also get a share share of hype if he wins which i think he deserves given the quality of opposition he is facing, not as much as Rigo though, they would crown him king for going up and defeating Loma and he would deserve it!

Yeah, but you still want people to tune in and get those ratings up for the ad dollars. This fight is being broadcast on ESPN. I agree with you a 100% on that, the lack of promotion for this fight is a real shamed due think enough boxing aficionados will watch this fight and it will generate good numbers' hope it will they both deserve that

There ain't no promotion because they sold out already so now they're greedy Yeah, but you still want people to tune in and get those ratings up for the ad dollars. This fight is being broadcast on ESPN.

And we're still talking about Canelo-Golovkin. Shame on you fools. Lmaoo ggg the goat thooo

I've got Rigo in this one!!!

Only thing i want is a good fight and a good result

There really has to be a sticky thread for this bout. It's incorrect how some of the bouts that might never even happen in the first place, or bouts that aren't anywhere near as significant as this bout (in terms of skills) between Lomachenko and Rigondeaux have sticky threads already whilst this bout is just a few weeks away and still doesn't have a sticky thread.

I'm excited about it. Making the trek to NYC for it. Anyone know where the weigh-in will be and if it will open for the public?

We feel the same way all the way around.on paper Odds are definitely in Lomas favor. At 4-1 I’m saying why not. Make things even more interesting. Hey, it’s gambling. And worse, it’s gambling on boxing. Lol Last time I bet on a fight was Rios-Abril. I believe the odds were 5-1. I bet 20 bucks on Richie, thinking he would lose, but I’d make a hundred on the outside chance he’d win. Abril turned in a clinic, but it became one of the worst robberies I’ve ever seen. Lol It was just $20. I would’ve been pissed if I put up 100 — not so much for losing a C-note, but for losing out on five hundred. Lol

I believe Lomo will win, but I’m not counting Rigo out. Seems to me, if the odds are high enough, say 4-1, it’s worth the risk putting a little something on the Cuban. Everybody’s risk tolerance is different. If you can stomach losing one or two hunny, I say, why not? I might put a hundred on our horse myself, depending on the Vegas odds.

This fight barely get any promotion so sad only real boxing fans get a joy out of this fight.

Nothing big. 100 MAYBE 2. I always second guess myself when there’s big odds and never capitalize on a gut feeling. What’s your advice? I believe Lomo will win, but I’m not counting Rigo out.

Loma is the wrong guy to bet against. He is just getting into his prime now and Rigo is past his.
