    If you have ever boxed by yourself or seriosly watched boxing, you would have known that it is much simpler "put on a boxing clynic" with size advantage.
    Watch for example Cotto - Trout and the watch how Trout looks like with opponents with equal size. And there are a lot of examples of this.

        he was only undefeated for 1 fight lol

            I kinda see it going the same way Crawford and Gamboa went. Rigo might pull ahead with his tricky style, but as the fight goes on Loma will start catching Rigo with those nasty bodyshots.

            Loma by late TKO

            Also: Gamboa is not nearly as skilled as Gamboa from a technique standpoint. He's definitely more physically gifted though.
            People who said that Crawford won just based on his size are delusional. Once he addapted he started to put on a boxing clynic with his right jab, counters and well placed bodyshots.
            Once Gamboa started to fade Crawford took over, still he almost got ktfo in the same round he won, only his size help him survive...

                So, this has to easily be the best fight ever between two guys with 20 pro fights combined, right? It's insane to think how few times they've fought yet where they are in the boxing world.

                Can we not b*tch about this one, please? If it happens, let's celebrate, because this is a fight worth celebrating.

                  From what I have seen of Loma, does he use his size like people are saying?

                    Rigo by decision if this happens.

                      134lbs, in the article. Lomacheko doesn't hit overly hard, if it were Walters I'd pick him over Rigo.
