Neither fight was impressive because the results were no surprise. I didn't even bother watching the Canelo Kovalev fight. The Lomochenko Rigo fight I only watched parts of weeks later. It was just a few people in the forum who thought Rigo had any kind of a chance at all to beat him. Another super fight that frankly sucked was Mayweather Pacquiao.
I can't believe this poll is so close. You ****ers don't know **** about boxing.
This just proves the stupidity of people here and the extensive hate that Canelo gets.
If they give certain fighters more credit for beating guys who jump up 2 divisions, then Canelo should just fight welterweights at 160.
:dance:
Are you kidding me? Rigo was Top 6 P4P, undefeated, and believed to be one of the most technically gifted fighters of all time. He got outclassed every second of their fight. Loma's win was far more impressive!
Do you realize that the p4p list isn't real and definitive?
Do you realize that weight classes exist?
How in the fck is beating a fighter 2 divisions smaller than you, who hasn't had any significant wins in years, better than beating a champion 2 divisions bigger than you?
Is this a serious question??? Canelo's win was far more impressive...wtf is going on today?

Kovalev didn't come to win, he just came for the paycheck. Rigo saw how good Loma was and just quit then.
This.
Kovalev knew he was selling his belt and even confirmed in Russian on social media... did what he had to for family.
Now he has DAZN money. =P And I think a few good solid fights on DAZN.
Besides, Canelo dropped belt so Kovalev will likely get it back next fight.
So he knew Canelo was too good for him and didn't bother to try? Wow. Ultimate show of respect right there. And to a former light middleweight too.
Fughin Kovi is done
I made a thread tonight showing who Yarde is fighting next
A guy with more losses than his first opponent in his career
He just didn't get the rest and training needed after the Yarde fight. He was into survival mode.
Sorry bud , I know you love Kovi but this just proves that Yarde is not much and Kovi had to struggle to win
It comes back to a saying that got popular on this site in 2009. “Size dont win fights, skills do”. Now it seems like size matters because a fighter they do not like is the bigger guy.
This is the norm in boxing now. Move the goal posts to appease their bias.
I think they are equal. A lot of haters thought Loma would get schooled, once it turned out the other way they completely discredit him. It was a good win for Loma, not a great win. Most fans expected Canelo to win, he did what he was supposed to do.

Rigo has fought at 130 One time....because that weight is too big for him, he was obviously undersized and got dominated...Canelo jumped 2 classes and beat the bigger fighter who is known for his power.....
Come on now...you can’t be on Lomas divk that bad that you can make his defeat of Rigo seriously impressive...it makes no sense
So many people had Rigo schooling Loma. Pretty funny how nobody remembers that. Vlad straight up made dude quit.
So just because some fools thought rigo would win, makes Loma beating a guy 2 divisions smaller than him better than Canelo beating a CHampion 2 divisions bigger than him?
:rofl: This is hilarious
Canelo by far! The only positive thing Loma accomplished was to give the fans a fight that fans for some reason were asking for. I’m not sure if he was actively ducking Rigo but the “Brothers” bark so loud about these type of situations that’s it’s easy to get wrapped up in the hype. Well as it turns out Loma Is far more athletic and talented than Rigo or anyone close to that weight class. I typically don’t give Loma too much credit because Lomas fan base is really biased but in this respect I really appreciated the fact that he took “maybe” a mental risk and stepped out of his comfort zone and gave the fans what they want. But still Canelos victory over Kovalev was on a different level of risks. Just look at Canelos damn face
why you skip Beterbiev though? why just Bivol ?
both send Canelo straight on the canvas though. even Bivol - that doesnt have career signature win, yet. :bottle:
calling people stupid here? sup with your red karma staying that way for years? must be those smart comments
Are you going to answer my question?
What win does Bivol have that is better than Kovalev beating Alvarez in the rematch?
I'll wait

This is the wrong platform to ask that question the sample audience is too small and favors one of the two fighters heavily (not a shot but the truth).
This idiot voted for Loma vs Rigo :rofl:
