Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux's Coach Warns: Size Won't Save Lomachenko

[kavi521]

My concern is that Guillermo Rigondeaux has not been in a competitive fight for more than 2 years. ****en and Flores were less than 4 rounds and might have slipped a bit due to age and inactivity. Size will also be a factor in this fight.

this is by far the fight ive been most excited about for awhile

Has Rigo ever rehydrated to 130? I don't think he has. Size will definitely play a factor in this fight.

We're all just hoping Rigo can find a way to work through it so we can get a good fight.

Donaire was not 142 in that fight. They keep playing that win up and making it bigger and bigger. First they said 10 lbs, now its 20 lbs. Whatever.

Rigo is getting KO'd. He already gets dropped by 115 pound cab drivers and now he's fighting the best in the game right now...

Rigo isn't going to lose because of size though - Rigo is now fighting a real opponent - he beat a hype job as his claim to fame and then feasted on weak opposition in a horribly weak division.

After Loma beats Rigo - if he's not number 1 pound for pound, then that's just racist.

You've just based your entire post around discrediting and diminishing Rigondeaux and are already complaining about Lomachenko potentially not being given credit for beating him.

vs Walters, Donaire weighed in at 126 and was reportedly 133 on fight night.

Rigo trainer is saying Donaire weighed in at 122 for the Rigo fight and was 140+ on the night ?

Sounds like porkies to me.

He might have Nonito looked out of shape in that fight. I heard him and Robert barley trained or seen each other during camp. If he was 143 he was a fat 143.

I don't think people REALLY comprehend just how skilled both of these fighters are. This fight will be won with the mind, the skills attained for decades, and the ability to adjust. I just can't wait man. Boxing is a beautiful ****ing sport.

I just so happen to agree with Rigo's coach. This will be a very intriguing fight. While on paper it seems like an uneven mismatch.

However, I can see Rigondeaux painting a masterful Picasso like portrait in that ring against Lomachenko. I expect a virtuoso performance from him.

Watch as the "Jackal" gives sharp counters, subtle movements and feints while he avoids trading and exchanging punches with the "Matrix" by simply outpointing and out boxing him to a unanimous decision victory.

I just believe that Guillermo is the more fundamentally sound of the two. He neutralizes his opponent's offense.

Super pumped for this fight! The fight will be contested in the matrix.
