Rigondeaux will get overwhelmed here.

I was posting the video with Rigo saying that Loma is "too big" when Lomachenko was 126. But when he moved up, Rigo started asking for the fight, so right now he's getting what he was asking for. I agree with you but it's not like we're talking about murderous punchers here, we know that skills and speed will be the key to win this fight, not the power

Rigo will be 37 by the time the opening bell to this fight rings. He's desperate to make a few bucks before his career is over, which will be very soon. Guillermo is a pretty heavy-handed guy for his size, but it may not carry to 130. Lomo is the naturally bigger man, so his punch resistance and power may mean something. But I agree, speed and skills may be a greater factor than power in this match-up. We won't know until fight night.

Lets go ! My Man Rigo will fight this bum named Lomachenko. I believe age and weight aint problems and Lomachenko will go "No Mas" like Walters did ! TeamRIGO

Props to Rigo for moving to 130, the other 'champions' at 130 ducked Loma.

By fighting a guy 2 weight classes above where he should be? Pls go

LMFAO. Some cats here are so f#cking ****** or petty about sh^t.

But yea to me Rigo jumping two divisions up to fight Loma is a no lose situation for him. Kinda like Brook jumping up two divisions to fight GGG awhile back. If Rigo wins he wins & if he loses he lost to a guy two divisions above him.

And sh^t Rigo is 37. He has to take a big fight after doing f#ck all since beating Donaire on the level he's capable of. I mean after the Donaire win I was expecting Rigo to do bigger things & get more mainstream or accepted by more fans, but he's had the worst run after a signature win of anyone I can think of in this era of boxing that didn't actually lose a fight after that signature win. Its the weirdest thing.

That's the problem with all Cuban fighters in pros, they probably have the best school in amateurs, but they don't have any luck in pro game. Lara, Gamboa and Rigo had HOF potential. Seeing Rigo wasting his best years like that was devastating

Boxing at the highest of levels. Levels most people never get to witness. Truely special.
