He is right. The reach advantage is more important than lomachenko weighing slightly more.

Rigo should get wayyyyy more credit for taking the risk in going up two divisions than Loma.
The beauty of Rigo though is that he can probably outbox even current WWs.

However if he outboxes Rigo then yeah anyone discrediting Loma will have to be classified as either a certified hater or a certified racist.
Both fighters are amazing, race does not matter, well at least to decent people it doesn't.

I think Rigo will rise to the occasion again. I don't see Loma's size advantage being a factor as he is not a bully come forward type of fighter. He is a methodical technician which will allow Rigo to be at his best...counter-punching. Rigo also has the reach advantage by i-2 inches if I'm not mistaken. That is a huge factor because Rigo is great at managing range. This will be a good one!

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.
