Who is the faster guy. I think Rigo edges out Loma in speed, sort of how Floyd just edges out Manny in speed. Rigo also has a longer reach than Loma, combined with the speed and footwork, might give Lomachenko serious problems trying land on Rigo. But if anyone can possibly break Rigo's defense without being nailed by that brutal counter left, it's Loma.

Rigo covers ground like no one else. He also throws single punches impossibly fast, but Loma has the incredible speed combinations that create huge problems for guys.
Overall, it's about even, though I think Rigo will beat him to the punch and defensively respond quicker. -
Loma likes to get in close to guys and then fire off his combinations. I don't see Rigo allowing Loma to do this. It's going to be very hard for Loma to close the distance on Rigo... They both have great footwork. Loma will probably have to eat some big shots to get close, even with his great headmovemnt. Rigo seems to be the better defensive master than Loma, who seems to take more shots in fights. Loma will have the weight advantage but I'm not so sure he'll have the power advantage. Rigo throws a very quick and heavy left hand.
This fight will probably be like Floyd/Manny in which there were a lot of near misses by two guys throwing blazing fast punches.Comment

Lmfao @ people talking about rigo like hes a god. Dudes been dropped plenty of times in his career. Lomachenko is way too big for Rigo and would make quick work of him.Comment
