Comments Thread For: Arum on Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux: That's a **** Fight!

[My Low Place]

So you think Lomachenko and Rigondeaux is an exciting proposition.

Donaire was a good fighter but he was not a pure boxer or really all that focused on defense.

Not even close to the same kinds of fights.

hell loma isnt all that focused on defense..walters was rusty and still landing..just didnt have enough in him to throw more than one at a time...

In terms of p4p supremacy this is the fight that will put Loma #1 in all peoples lists if he wins. In terms of watching a great fight idk what to think, but both would be cautious imo. Lomas isn't Nonito swinging wildly with slow feet. Might be a good amount of moving and evading in this one.

Arum is a jackass. LOL...he knows Rigondeaux is a threat to Lomachenko's 7 and 1 record. He has no 0 to take. This would be a great fight. Arum is admitting to building up a fighter which proves he put Nicholas Walters on the shelf for a year on purpose. He probably paid him off to take dive. Snake.

Lomachenko is defensively responsible, but he's an offensive minded fighter. He'd give Rigo a lot to work with.

Lomachenko said it himself Walters stood still thus making it easy on him. If a guy doesn't stay still and Rigondeaux won't his offense will not be near as good. He clearly beat Russell but it is not like he really did all that much damage to him and Rigondeaux is much more defensive minded.


It will be a horrendously bad fight for all but a few to watch. I am one of the few that would actually be mildly entertained by it but a spade is a spade.

Full of ****!! I want to see that fight!! What I don't want to see is that Pac-Loma bull**** you're trying to test the waters with!!

In a fight like this one I think Lomachenko would be very focused on defense and making sure he didn't eat counters. Which is why the fight would totally blow.

Lomachenko will knock out Rigo.

[GMAN SUPREME]

good.keep rigo off my tv.there's reason why he's been regulated to fighting on undercards overseas.lets keep it that way.the guy is so mind numbingly boring to watch keep him off tv he'll turn potential fans away from boxing.

Bring it on ... rigo would school Loma . Rigondeaux will counter Loma all night long , Loma is hit easily.
At 124 or 126 ...bring it on .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .
