I have them both almost evenly matched as far as strength, speed and defense. I have Loma due to more output and Rigo has had some suspect knock downs. I'm not saying he was hurt but it's still a 10/8 round if it happens.
I looked at Rigo's fight with Donaire and based on that performance, I don't see any way he can win against Loma. Loma is too big, moves too good and is too quick for Rigo. Rigo favors the left too much. The shots he got hit with by Donaire, who was throwing one punch at a time, will be tripled up by Loma.
I'm picking Lomachenko due to the weight division it's happening in. If they did it at 126 pounds instead of 130 than it would be way more difficult to choose. But since it's in Loma's weight division than I'm expecting him to win. But I can never count out Rigondeaux though, but if I was placing money on this fight I would bet on Lomachenko.
