Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Dares Lomachenko To Back Up 'Destroy' Promise

Lol loma gonna run circles around rigo. Seen all the excuses being laid by the ppl that said loma wouldnt fight rigs. Its on and the outcome is obvious. Cant wait for this one

Nope, if someone will be running it will Rigo... It's all in their veins, it's their Cuban 'school'...

Just look at Lara, same type of a slick type of boxer.

As much as I want Rigo to win , I think he has everything stacked against him. Size , weight , reach , age. I mean , if he pulls this off , it would be close to Douglas vs Tyson kind of upset.

Rigo actually has the reach advantage. Plus I think he's a little slicker and quicker. If Loma can eat Rigo's punches, then Rigo is going to have problems... If Loma is too respectful of Rigo's power, Rigo will outbox him.

Great thing about this fight is that both guys know how to win on points...Neither guy is going to let himself get down on points like a lot of fighters do that pray for something big later on.

Arum set this up nicely. He couldn't find the money and Rigon wanted too much at 124-126 (Remember Loma left the amateur at 132 vs Rigon 118) but 1 mil magically appears for a fight at Loma natural same day weigh-in. It's all bull. Loma gets ZERO credit for this. I didn't give Crawford credit for Gamboa, Canelo for Khan or GGG for Brook but I'm going to pretend this 2 weight class promoter setup is legit for Loma fanboys.

Best post I've seen in months!!! I agree here all the way; all the fonts you names were huge mismatches and we all knew who would win before the first bell rang. Rigo is nice but the weight class difference is why he loses. At the same weight class this fight is a toss up but this is just a trick to make us think Loma is fighting an elite fighter. I like Loma too so I'm not hating but this weight is a setup...

what? Lol. Too many steriotypes. Rigo is an individual. He stands in middle of ring and tries to counterpunch. Throws very low amount of punches and has the weakest chin of any boxer that gets written or talked about

What's in the veins of that mummy in your siggy and avi??

Nothing legal,that's for sure.

Cuban fighters > Brit knee-sliders

Rigo has a weak chin, if someone gets dropped or knocked out it will be him. Don't forget he dropped once by Donaire & twice by Japanese journeyman Amagasa.

Plus he is moving up for 2 divisions to fight Loma.

That trash in your siggy has a weak chin

Rigo has the reach advantage and is only an inch smaller. Yall acting like he's 5 inches shorter hahaha. Do you guys even watch boxing or just repeat things you hear others say?

[buddyr]

How is Rigo defense better? The guy fought only 1 decent opponent and yet was floored 4 times.

Pernell whitaker has been floored more in his career than De la hoya and Mosley. Do they have better defense?

So now I'm pissed. I'm hearing Spence VS Peterson is going to be December 9th. WHY does boxing do this!?!?

Boxing is so self-destructive. If that's actually true, let's hope that they aren't on at the same time. I really don't want to choose one over the other. Spence/Peterson will probably be more entertaining, but Loma/Rigo holds more significance.

I love how people now hating on Loma for a fight themselves demanded.

Save your crap. Dec 9 is the day that matters. Competitive fight, no matter how u slice it.

I've found that highly amusing.

The same folks that demanded the Walters fight and were adamant Loma will get eaten alive and then had tons of excuses after the fact.

At least they have got their excuses on the table early which was as soon as the fight was official. One day "Loma is scared..Loma knows he will get schooled..skills beat size etc;" the very next day "mismatch..Rigo is too old..Rigo too small.." He aged and shrank THAT much in one day. Amazing.
