Does Lomanchenko losing make Rigo look better ?

[Mr. Philadel]

I think if Lomachenko gets a title, every one would line up to fight him. He looks robotic, weak, and like if he can be outpointed with activity. It also looks like he's a herb, he lets himself get fouled without saying or doing anything. A great fighter find a way to either get the refs attention or adjust to avoid fouls, or foul back when all else fails. 395-1, for what, all of those fights, all of those wins, for nothing. He just looks like a poor man's Mikkel Kessler.

Lomachenko looks like the normally "good" 50-fight amateur, not the great, legendary, better than Rigondeaux, better than Mayweather, on par with SRR 395-1 amateur that people were talking about.

And why is his nickname Hi-Tech? It doesn't match his first name or surname but I guess it matches his style, he's a hi-technology robot.

...yeah he does seem to be a herb!!!

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.

Lomachenko won the fight, even though Salido had some good rounds. He almost knocked Salido out too. A round 13 would've finished the Mexican.

Of course not they are two different people and if Rigondeaux was the one taking a loss it wouldn't make Lomachenko look any better either. The dude has 2 pro fights, and his team fked up because they believed their own hype simple as that the pro's are not the ams, and you cannot take for granted that your greatness as an amateur will translate perfectly to a professional style immediately.

I bet Rigondeaux would have jumped if given the same chance Lomachenko got gifted to him in his second pro fight, but it would have been just as ****** even if he won.


On a side note it is sad if you are a fan of Rigo, and Lomachenko not being as good as a pro is a loss for Rigondeaux in terms of future opponents and great W for his resume, and more than anything olympic bragging rights that would have come from being the one to stop the Loma express. But Salido does not give a fk he keeps up fking up dream matches lol

lomachenko has 8 professional fights.......not 2.

(he fought in the world series which is a pro tournament) even lomachenko himself counts them as pro fights.

8 pro fights not 2.............

[SeekDaGreat]

Why would one boxer make a completely different boxer look better or worse under any circumstances? All the cylinders in your brain aren't firing properly is what I take from a remark like that.

[Godsfly]

Because its an absolutely dumb comparison. Why would anyone appreciate Rigo more because another unrelated fighter took a narrow loss in a world title shot in his second fight. Loma should have had more fights as with 2-3 more bouts he wouldnt have had much trouble with siri. They gambled, went after history and lost. It says nothing at all about Rigo, positive or otherwise.

he had 8 pro fights before fighting salido (do your research) & stop trolling...........

[HanzGruber]

people forgetting lmo was in the wsb, so not even really his second pro fight

Idk how people were actually impressed by Lomachenko's debut and actually thought he would beat Rigo.

Basically he came in the same size as Donaire, 137-140.

Lomachenko forgot to do the thing that makes special fighters special if you are in trouble or having a bad night you need to adjust, but get the damn win . Sadly Lomachenko looked like he doesn't belong in the ring with any top pro boxer for a while at least and that was against the worse version of Salido i have ever seen he lost to, so he needs that time. Maybe 3 or 4 years from now he will be ready for the big boys and could end up in a p4p list then a real one not an imaginary hype one.

[Godsfly]

Going from five rounds to twelve isnt a massive transition? Yeepers!

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............

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Hes nowhere near Rgos level and never was. Those comparisons should have never been made.
