Let's be 100% honest: Lomachenko will get ZERO credit for beating Rigondeaux

[Golden Boi 360]

Rigondeaux has 1 fight at 126, his 4th career fight

Besides that one fight all of his fights have been at 122.

This is his first fight at 130 and it's against Lomachenko.

Loma will recieve 0 credit for this win.

I blame Santa Cruz and Frampton for this situation. Rigo is so desperate for a big fight he's going up two weight classes to get it.

I'll be rooting for him but it doesn't look good.

[Vegemil]

Loma wouldn't get credit for this fight if he took it at 124. Now that it's at 130 people are probably gonna talk **** about him after if he wins.

[Kagami Taiga]

I won't give him much credit. It's not feasible to expect a Rigo win IMO

[Golden Boi 360]

Lomachenko will look really bad if he starts clowning 5'4 Rigondeaux with all the dances and head rubbing

I'm hoping to see that tho!

Rigo is moving up 8 pounds, the same amount as a move from middleweight to super middleweight.

Back in the era of 8 weight classes, a move from bantamweight to featherweight was 8 pounds.

Stop making excuses.

I'm not entirely sure Rigo loses...maybe on the scorecards but not really the fight.

Well I know a thing about weight divisions: heres the problem with this reasoning, take 130 WBC champion Miguel Berchelt weighing 143 lbs. thirty days before defending his title -- he had already cut down to make it to 143, so whats he walking around in? obviously past welterweight ; you can see the dangers here for both the smaller and bigger man.

[Sp0rty Cr@ig]

I think Loma is in a GGG-Brook type situation. If he looks good he gets little credit because of the size advantage but If Rigo has some success then Loma will get a chit ton of criticism

[Brickyardigan]

Making excuses already for when the Judges robbed Rigodeaux. Because Lomachenko isn't going to want to fight once he feels Rigo power.
