Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Rigondeaux Close For December 9 on ESPN

[Bronx23]

3 years ago i woulda picked rigo. in 2017 im more than confident loma beats rigo and is gonna get zero credit for it. Theres gonna be a lot of "Rigo was old" "Rigo was too small" "Rigo was washed". "Loma is ducking Mikey and Crawford"

[The Big Dunn]

If this fight is at 130, Loma by KO probably by round 5 or 6.

Easy win and probable ko for loma. I am happy its happening, will be good one to see. I dont care if rigo is 17,27,37,47, or 57. He gets worked by loma.

Thats just talk on sites like this though. And its a small portion of ppl that have reasons other than fights to say such things. The fights speak for themselves and always have to me and boxing purists. Id love to see loma vs mikey too but when mikey drew a line in the showtime sand and said anyone has to fight him there, i knew from then on what was really happening. Same ol boxing story lol

yea i know but the narrative just seems to be getting more popular when it comes to matchups we been waiting for. people just love to complain i guess. And yea the Showtime thing with Mikey sucks but theres a few good matchups that can be made over there

GGG is scared to move up to Super Middleweight because his power won't be effective anymore against bigger men. When Ward was at 168 2 years ago then GGG didn't want to face him. And GGG can easily make 168.

Did Ward ever offer to fight GGG next, when GGG didn't have a fight signed already?

The answer to that question is no, he didn't.

Back in 2013, when HBO asked them both if they were ready to fight each other .. GGG answered "yes" and Ward answered "no"

Let's be real for a moment... ggg and loma both get praised because of their skin color.

They get bashed for the same reason if you wanna play this game.

I think its a good fight im hyped!! To great fighters and it will be competitive cuz your not just gonna dance around hitting rigo, hes to good for that. I think EVENTUALLY the size will be a issue and loma gets it but its rigo big chance so he'll def be ready.

They also get unfairly trolled and accused of ducking for the same reason. This place is full of racists who can't see past skin colour.

I see Loma missing a lot in this fight, small target, great defense, very illusive. This will be good, you will see frustration on Loma's face like never before.

I can see it take 5rds before anything at all happens in this fight.
