The only guy in the lower weights that could give Loma competition is Rigo

    He should move up to 126 or 130 in 2017.
    Rigo said he had been trying but coulnd't gain any weight enough to move up. Looks like further that line is impossible without peds for him when it comes to putting muscle.

        I disagree. If they were the same size, perhaps I could agree with you. However, since Lomachenko is naturally wider and stronger than Rigondeaux, I don't think he stands much of a chance.

        In addition, as they currently stand; Rigondeaux stands between 5'3 - 5'4 inches tall and weighs only a 122lb where as Lomachenko stands between 5'7 - 5'8 inches and weighs about a 130lb.

        That is just too much size differential in the smaller weight classes for one fighter to overcome.

          Gary Russell jr was shorter too. Rigo has reach, speed and tremendous footwork and is the only other 2 time Olympic gold champion out there... Loma isn't just going to impose his size and walk over Rigo.. Rigo's counter left will keep Loma cautious.... I don't know how Loma can take that sneaky punch away.

              Lomachenko would beat Rigo senseless.

                  Not as bad as Walters got schooled last night. That was embarrassing. It looked like an Olympian vs. a novice fighter.

                      I talked about proportions. I'm not sure if you understand that concept.
