That's why it's not even necessary to avoid this guy. When you call his bluff he overprices himself all of a sudden. Quigg should call this guy's bluff and see what happens.

Rigondeaux had his chance to fight Lomachenko in what would've been a history making match-up. Never before has there been two double Olympic champions fighting each other. He had reservations then after Loma called his bluff so imagine what kind of reservations he'd have now.
Stylistically Loma is a very bad match-up for Rigo. He's much more versatile, dynamic and a far more complete fighter than Rigo on top of being bigger, stronger and more powerful. Rigo has an edge in speed but so did Gary Russell Jr over Loma. That big left of Rigo's would be missing its target, you can't throw one big punch at a time and expect to beat Loma that way or look to counter him all night because it's predictable. Loma would walk him down with intelligent pressure, cut the ring off, lead to create openings and counter his counterpunching attempts. He'd set the pace and actually be able to use his work rate due to fighting consistently off angles (both are southpaws but Loma can switch) and utilizing a full punch selection. Loma is almost impossible to read.
Rigo also flat out doesn't have the chin to contend with Loma. He still doesn't have an inside game and Loma is better at every range, outside, mid and inside and he controls distance and maintains it better too. He also has the defense, fight IQ and ringcraft required to beat Rigo, things that Donaire didn't have years ago when they fought (and he was still knocked down). Rigo makes plenty of mistakes that his fans ignore while Loma hardly ever makes any these days. Rigo is also getting old (36, will be 37 this year) and nearing the end of his career. He needs to stop talking about Loma.Last edited by Pugilisticuffs; 06-09-2017, 10:15 PM.

That tell you how much Bob Arum really wanted to make the fight. lol
I guess after what Rigo did to his previous Star I feel him. I mean Salido a few fight before already spoiled his plans.
