Does Lomanchenko losing make Rigo look better ?
Wether you want to believe it or not the comparisons were there to begin with. The two gold medals, the gaudy amateur records, the obvious talent/blinding speed. I know the revisionists will say its apples and oranges, they will also note that Loma's in a different space having only had 1 pro bout prior, which is debatable. But Loma was being touted by some as the next Rigo. Regardless of how the fight played out (ref,low blows,scoring etc...), do you feel seeing Loma having been "cut from the same cloth" as Rigo, struggling and losing, shows just how remarkable and how difficult it is to accomplish what Rigo did in under 10 fights (not counting Donaire). In other words is Loma's loss Rigo's win ?

Lomo walks through Rigo Resume with ease and undefeated. -
Rigo would've gotten knocked out if he fought Salido in his 2nd pro fight.Comment

Lomachenko got robbed of the victory.Comment

He robbed himself. Salido came to fight. Can't expect the ref to bail you out, the ref has a job and so do you as a fighter. He should've taken matters into his own hands if he felt the reef was incompetent and I think he did but it came in the form of shoving, elbowing and holding Salido's head down which may have also lead to some shots straying low ... Nothing "HI-TECH" about last nights performance.Comment
Donaire puts Loma in a morgue. I legitimately wouldn't rule out Corboda beating him either
