Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux Finalized For December 9

[chrisJS]

I gave him credit for taking on a skillful opponent. Rigo was about 38 moving up 2 weight classes. I can only imagine the type of backlash, Floyd, Crawford etc... Would get fighting a 38 year old at the age of 29 who was 2 weight classes lower.

You and I both know that if: Danny Garcia, Crawford, Thurman, Porter, Pacquiao, Spence fought Lomo at 147 they destroy him. I'm talking sleeping on the canvas. And the number one thing people would say was Lomo was way too small.

I'm objective. Lomo is overrated period. If his name was Tyrone with that amount of fights and the SAME exact resume he wouldn't get nearly as much credit. He needs to get his weight up. Fighting bums like he did his last fight and upcoming fight won't cut it.

If his name was Tyrone you'd have a completely different view on him and would have picked the Rigo fight correctly.

Loma is a small 135. Why does he have to move up two weight divisions again? Why aren't you asking Porter, Spence or Spence to go up two weights? Why aren't you criticizing Crawford for not fighting at middleweight?

Naw playa I don't do that because of race. If he had 12 or like 8 fights I would NEVER say he was p4p anything. I would say he has potential lets see some more work.

We can agree Lomos best win is against Rigo who was 38 and moved up two weight divisions. Let that sink in.

And he also got his ass beat by a scrub in Salido. NO way on the planet if Broner had that EXACT same resume would we be having this conversation.

Lomo is a hype job period. Beating a 38 year old two weight classes smaller is your best win. And get bullied by Salido. Man dude HAS WAY more work to do.

Crawford already moved up like 3 divisions. AND HIS best win isn't a guy who is 38 moving up 2 divisions. Lomo could fight Crawford at 140. We know you don't want to see a bigger black man destroy lomo though

You do the race thing come on man. Crawford is my favorite fighter by the way. Loma probably wouldn’t be in my top 10 all-time favorites though I admit I am a fan of his.

Crawford has moved up two divisions. Thought I’d fact check you on that.

Loma lost a very close, debatable decision in his 2nd fight to a seasoned pro and multi-time world champion. Not a scrub really. There was controversy around the fight.

Better fighters than Lomachenko (or any active fighter really) have lost earlier career fights to lesser fighters than Salido. I can name them if you wish. Hopkins at age 24 lost to a complete nobody.

I’m not sure Rigo is his best win. I guess you have to say that because it proved you really ******. I like the Russell, Walters and Linares wins better. I think Loma has better wins than Crawford overall. Postol is probably the best I think that’s better than Rigo not sure it trumps all Loma’s though.

This post just reeks of bias and ignorance. So much so its hard to take anything you will post in the future seriously.

First, salido didn't "beat his ass". Thats just flat out wrong. it was objectively a competitive fight, salido was able to rough up loma a bit (arguably using dirty tactics) but it was a competitive affair that many scored a draw. If you want to give the nod to salido, so be it. but it was not this "domination" ur trying to referring to.

Another idiotic statement, that broner wouldnt get the "credit" if he had Lomas resume. If broner was a featherweight, and beat undefeated russell, undefeated walters, undefeated rigo, and LW champ at the time Linares in his first 11 fights he would absolutely get praised and deservedly so. Are you forgetting broner was touted as a top PFP fighter, already with wins over escobdeo, gavin rees, and demarco?

Lastly, you mention crawford has moved up 3 times. and that Loma should do the same and move up to 140 and fight him however...

Lets look at Lomas brief PRO resume

Champ at 126
Champ at 130
Champ at 135

Count up all the bold numbers. And what do we get ... 3! The same number you praise crawford for , loma is in his third weight class!

Look man, I know their are loma nuthuggers that are idiotic, and you have a point in mocking them. But you are no different then those fanboys , just on the other side of the fence, equally ignorant.

Especially when he was so emphatic in picking a dominant Rigo win.

Smells like he’s one of those that’s having a hard time with the Loma stuff for non boxing reasons.

Loma is hella overrated. I said if Broner or ANY other black fighter had his same exact resume they wouldn't get nearly as much credit period. Broner has titles in 4 Weight classes is younger than Lomo and Everyone he lost to would DESTROY Salido. Lomo is a hype job.

I call it down the middle. You never ONCE heard me say Spence or Crawford or P4P number 1. And I know they are a million times better than Lomo. I need to see more work period
