Comments Thread For: Vasiliy Lomachenko: It Looks Like Now I'm Rigondeaux & [Haney Is] Lomachenko

[TheOneAboveAll]

By your logic the US should be under British rule again, along with about half of the world. Israel shouldn't exist at all. Bizarre take.

Israel really shouldn’t exist at all. You have that right. It would not exist there if not for the US and England propping it up after the War, and it wouldn’t be there in a week if the U.S. stopped propping it up today. This is a country surrounded by mortal enemies.

usa! Usa! Usa!

Are you serious? Lomachenko is from Ukraine.

Lomachenko is representing his country of birth against Haney, the USSR.

Amazing how a thread involving a Rigo comparison devolved into this...

What the hell is this? Not even close.

Stop! Loma is clearly closer to the camera lens you dumbass. Loma whooped that boy Rigo fair and square. There are levels my guy. LEVELS.

"The then-unbeaten Cuban southpaw moved up two weight classes, though, to fight for Lomachenko’s WBO junior lightweight title."

Bad analogy. Loma is not moving up two weight classes. He's the former Undisputed Lightweight Champion!

How this post got so many likes is incredible, but seeing the people who liked it, I should be surprised. It's a collection of idiots. First, Loma was never undisputed. Second, Loma was a featherweight when Rigo was a super bantamweight. They tried to make that fight but Rigo wanted more money. Loma moved up a division because no one wanted to fight him at 126. It was when he was at 130 that Rigo tried to fight him.

And I'll point out, Loma's physical dimensions are the same as Nonito, and Rigo had no issue with Nonito. So why make excuses for the man? Does it bother you so much that Loma beat that ass?

As they should. This is fighting. No reason for any clinching, Just fight, Devin!

excessive clinching is an issue, but every gym ive been to taught it for strategy purposes to make an opponent reset their attack if you are out of position, if you are hurt, and more instances, every fighter clinches at some point. if loma tries to make it an inside fight that will make haney very uncomfortable, the ref will warn him and he will have to show another level in order to win. cant wait

loma himself said he doesnt put much to the victory due to size difference. but rigo signed to fight and got whooped, its life, i do think it would have been more competitive at a smaller weight tho

First of all, I didn't have a problem with Loma beating Rigo, but it's still a BAD analogy! Loma has been fighting at 135 since the Linares fight in 2018! That's nearly 5 years ago, to the date! Rigo moved up 2 weight classes to fight Loma. That's a fact! Loma is NOT moving up to fight Haney! That's a fact! If you don't like facts, stay away from my posts! Thanks for the correction: Loma had 3 belts when he lost to Baby Teo!

Loma literally moved up to lightweight, and when he did, he said and has repeatedly stated that this is not his weight class. Not only that, but almost everyone has said he's too small and needs to move back down. Stop with the BS.
