Lomachenko - Rigondeaux Deal Reached For December 9th

[WhatDisButtonDo]

Yup, especially with Rigo's shakey def. If Loma puts him in a bad predicament, it's a wrap. I don't see Rigo surviving Loma's barrage and work rate.

Rigondeaux has one of the best defenses in the sport. You can level a lot of criticisms of Rigondeaux..but not on his defense..when he's fighting guys he's easily outclassing he tries to put on a show.

Loma's victims are much better than Rigo's best opponent.

Nonito donaire > any of lomas bum wins

[LADIV]

Ok? And Lomachenko isn't Agbeko, the Amagasa sushi vendor, or any recent opponent that Guillermo has been in the ring with.

No way no how is Guillermo winning this. Vasyl is too big, too much volume and just as talented.

and do you actually think rigo is gonna stay infront of loma like all other of lomas opponents

Is Rigo allowed to continue fighting after the bell in this fight too...

Seems to be somewhat official.

So when Loma wins, it will be because he was the bigger man, right, it was unfair to Rigo, yes?

Wtf? really? You do realize he has spots and lulls in which he exposes himself and has been dropped by lesser foes whom should have never even came close to touching him... He puts on a show when he outclassed opponents? Get out lol.

No need for him to stand in front of Loma in order for Loma to take him out. Loma has footwork, foot speed and exploits angles with ease. His work rate would overwhelm a hesitant and low output counter puncher in Rigo.

loma is gonna melt that Hershey Smurf inside the distance.

I never cared for this one and I still don't, people are gonna be disappointed when size becomes far more of the determining factor in the outcome. People are solely looking at the clash in skills, none of that will matter once Lomachenko lands something solid, fight should end soon after.

Absolutely right. I can't see Rigo surviving 12 rounds against Loma's power and workrate - let alone do enough to get a decision.

Sadly, Loma haters will still moan. First, they called him out for not fighting Rigo (ignoring why the fight wasn't getting made), and now that he (likely) is going to, and will (likely) win convincingly, haters will detract anyway.

Some people refuse to be happy - they just need to make everyone else a whining, miserable mess like them.

[True That]

This is not official. I mean, I hope it happens, but this is not breaking news. We know they are negotiating to set a fight up, but nothing is official yet.

Heck yah! Make it happen!
