Comments Thread For: Ex-Manager Fears For Rigondeaux in Lomachenko Fight

[Robbie Barrett]

Rigo is overcome with jealousy at Lomachenko. He is mad the Loma's getting attention and he doesn't, he even threw in the race card which is pathetic. The truth is Loma's offensive output and his style to try and finish fights, is what makes him popular where as Guillermo is satisfied with just countering and boxing his way to a boring decision. I still think Rigo can win because he is still very skilled and Loma is showing off so much right now, that I think he will get careless and maybe got caught with something.

Popular? Loma drew around the same amount of viewers as Ocar Valdez did on ESPN.

I was like huh? Lol

Although I think Rigo is the better fighter. He's trying to overcome a lot going to 130. It's not like Loma don't have legit skills too.

It's a tough ask. We just saw what moving up did to Roman Gonzalez.

i still think loma wins but rigos getting counted out here too much. People are making out hes going up 5 stone to fight lomachenko, its 8 pounds lol, wont be much of a size difference. The concern is how much his inactivity and poor opposition has eroded his skills. Lomachenko isnt unbeatable thats for sure, maybe hes starting to believe his own hype with his showboating and criticising other fighters. Not sure rigo has the style to beat him though, although when someone like roach says hes the best talent hes ever seen, you cant really count him out of any fight.

Nicholas Walters. That name alone is better than anybody on Rigo's resume.

Even though Loma didn't want to come to 126 to make it fair , rigondeaux will beat him anyway. Power punch and defense , which rigo has better , will be the key to victory.
Rigo might even break one of Lomas bone , maybe his solar plexus . Ask ducknaire , amagasa , ****ens, how it feels when rigo hits you ....
Rigo all the way .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

Man, you are an idiot if you think Rigo is more popular at the moment. No denying his skill-set but he puts people to sleep and I'm not talking about his opponents. Go on You-tube and check out how many videos their are dedicated to Lomancheko's master-class in boxing. Don't hate...little girl.

loma is two weight classes bigger and hasn't fought in a long time? What is the purpose of this fight again? oh yeah to increase lomas popularity.

It's just Loma's attitude and how casual he is in the ring right now that makes me think Rigo has a good chance to beat him. Too much clowning around, Rigo deserves the respect from Lomachenko, dude is an all time Olympian great.
