Will not be fight of the year ladies..... Rigo is boring

[GMAN SUPREME]

I smell a statement win and lots of people with dropped jaws at what will happen!

Rigo has lots of tricks up his sleeves that he will use to defuse the offensive dynamo and relentless mover of the Ukrainian skills!

Loma will no doubt come out on the front foot which is perfect for RigoSensei!

I expect also that Loma will feel that Rigo can't hurt him.....we'll see about that!

Rigo by TKO 11th round for one of greatest upsets in boxing history and one of the best wins in the last 9 years!

make sure to put some money on rigo if you truly believe that!

I do not disagree, but Rigo doesn't exactly have power to begin with. That is Rigondeaux's only worry here. He and Lomachenko are about even in experience (Loma's 9 fight pro career is offset by the million and half fights he had as an amateur), their skills are close, but I see both quickness and power being totally on Lomachenko's side. Any muscle Rigo can put on can only help him.

Loma knocks people out by simply wearing them out. Accumulative KO's if you will. Rigo just has no idea if he can bring enough power to the fight to keep that at bay.

Loma in a late round- maybe 10?- TKO.

Rigo hits hard, man. I don't know if his power will carry to 130, but he's literally a jaw-buster at 122.

With every passing day, I grow more excited about this fight! If Rigo pulls this off, it'll be the greatest win by a Cuban fighter in recent memory.

So, do you not think Rigo will have some success in this one? Or do you think he made a mistake taking the fight?

I see him having some success, maybe even winning a UD, but it could go either way. Maybe not a 50/50 fight, but I don't think Rigo has that bad of odds. And I'm not ignoring this will likely be both fighters toughest fight so far.

definitely, no question !
he is a textbook fighter, technically..... veeery tight/accurate, he will give Loma nothing
but the weight is an issue, and they say that this is a young man's game for a reason
Rigo is slightly better, technically..... but Loma is more well-rounded, and accustomed to the weight
wouldn't bet a dollar on that fight
riding with the Cuban because he is reaching for greatness, but the Ukrainian is a phenom
it shoulda been at 126 but, GREAT fight !!
WAR Rigo, best of luck to both guys !!

Yep, that's just it, a fan of both fighters here, but yes wanting Rigo to win this one. And yes, ONE weight division up would've been much better. There's a reason the success rate for 2 division jumps isn't very high.

I really hope Rigondeaux pulls it off. Lomachenko fans are the worst kind of boxing fans.

Rigo is better than Canelito

[IBOX4LIFE]

Rigondeaux could stop him. Its always WEIRD with Top Rank scorecards....

I see what you did there........LOL
Got 'em!

I know this is a fake Rigo twitter account, but this post still made me LOL

I just finished Richard Simmons Sweating to the oldies 1 and 2. Loma does not stand a chance. This American VHS technology is incredible.

Amazing how people consistently mispronounce his name.

It's a FRENCH name like Thibodeaux...Boudreaux or Arceneaux.

It's pronounced
