      Before the fight was made, a certain group on here kept saying Loma was ducking Rigo, now the fight has been made they are saying "Rigo is too small."

      These people are shameless.

        It may be a no win situation for him but for his fans, losing is still a win. If he loses to Rigondeaux they'll say he's a P4P great and Lomachenko is a novice so it doesn't count like Salido. If he wins they'll say Rigondeaux is a P4P great and Lomachenko is the greatest boxer alive.

          Common sense really. You aren't going to get massive credit fighting a guy 2 divisions smaller. It would be Lomachenko's best win though.


          The people saying fans are backtracking, no they aren't. It's a fact that Loma has a big size advantage that you can't disregard. But that also would make the win all the more greater if Rigo can pull it off. This is Rigo's chance to get a great win.

            interesting how Loma fans don't bring up a KO when the same posters were hyping GGG to KO Alvarez..

            maybe the great EE debaters are taking it careful with predictions with a guy coming in 2 divisions lower and particularly smaller.

            but they can mock anything Rigo. again, the irony if Rigo goes 12...

              Don't like the fact that the Rigo fight is at 130 but I like Lomachenko because he says who he wants to fight and he wants big fights fast. 10 fights in and he's fighting really good competition. Sick of guys toeing the company line when asked who they want to fight," whoever my promoter puts me in with I'll fight" . Heard that for too long and still hear it. We need more guys like Lomachenko and Mikey Garcia who go after big fights regardless of what side of the promotional street guys may be on.

                It would be Lomachenko's best win so of course he will get some credit for this fight but you cant overlook that Rigo is moving up two weight divisions and is a lot older. Those a clear advantages for Loma.

                  A lot of Rigo fans were against this fight at a catch or at 130. Obviously Rigo is smaller, but who cares. That’s what makes this fight so great!! This isn’t the first time we’ve seen size disparities in bouts it’s not even relevant.

                  In fact it’s more interesting how people aren’t intrigued that it’s Rigo who is daring to be great.

                  This will catapult either one as #1

                    LIes. Rigo wanted a catch weight. Why would he avoid him only to fight him when Loma is an even tougher opponent. He avoided him until Loma was bigger? He avoided him until Loma had more experience?... rigo gets ducked he doesn't do the ducking.

                      Brah!!! Crazy no one is saying that about rigo. If Loma has nothing to win, then rigo has everything to lose.
