Does Lomanchenko losing make Rigo look better ?

[Godsfly]

even lomachenko himself admitted to having the pro fights. when hbo asked him "how did you get adjusted to the pro game so quickly in your first pro fight?" his response was basically "i don't know what hbo has been telling everyone but I've already had my fair share of pro fights in the world series, so it was really nothing"

lol no. Rigo doesn't need Loma to make him look better. Loma is good and has some upside. No doubt about that. The difference with them is that Rigo is a master at his craft and proven in the pro ranks. Loma's outcome didn't even have me thinking of Rigo. There's just a good disparity between the skills of these two guys.

Rigo IS one of the best, Loma's hoping to get there.

we're holding him to the rigo standard..........in just 6 fights rigo was fighting in 12 rounders. in just 2 fights he was fighting in 8 rounders. lomachenko had like 8 pro fights before fighting salido because he fought in the world series.


when you take away the whole "it was his 2nd fight i swear it was his 2nd fight" and see it for what it was (the guy had like 8 fights prior) it becomes a joke to compare him anywhere near with rigo............

Very good point.

rigo is the single best boxer i have ever seen fight
,,,lomo appeared imo he was no where near the level of rigo

Why would you think anything else of Loma. Salido didn't even try to make weight and came in so heavy. Besides having to fight Salido's experience he had to get through all those low blows.

For his second fight he accounted himself very well and no excuses in the end

It has no bearing on Rigondeaux other than it makes Arum's policy of backing Lomanchenko to the hilt while downplaying Rigondeaux look silly and flawed.

It proved that there is only one amateur legend , the rigod

Obviously Rigo has succeeded in his first title defense and Loma did not.... haha there is more to it than that because Loma could come back and make a big impact. I would like to see Loma and Russell Jr go at it....that would be a very entertaining fight

That would be nice, but Russell Jr only fights some guy named "TBA."

I guarantee you that if Rigondeaux had fought an Orlando Salido equivalent in his second pro fight, he would have done no better than Lomachenko.

So no, it doesn't make Rigondeaux look any better.

I'm not sure you understand how guarantees work ...
