rigondeaux could pull this off.... cant wait for this one.

It's been shown, if you can make Rigo fignt, he WILL fight!

I doubt he would or should want to fight a much bigger man who is comparable in skills!

The Great thing is, he has real power and is accurate!

Hope Rigo utilizes the stab jab to the body to burn the Ukrainians stamina!

Take away the body of Loma and all that moving he does by circling stops and Rigo has a stiff jab!

Rigo doesn't have the same stab jab that Mayweather has, but he does have a mean left to the body that he's knocked guys down with.

What's funny is that Rigo is the smaller guy, but despite that... i think it's going to be Loma who will be hesistant to let his hands go for fear of being tagged with Rigo power and accuracy. I don't think Loma is as good of a counter puncher as Rigo and Rigo having the longer reach and possiblly better legs will mean Loma will have to take a chances to get in close.

I can see Rigo simply outclassing and outboxing Loma more than I can see Loma overwhelming Rigo with his size and getting a KO... At best Loma gets in a good hook that knocks down Rigo somewhere down the line (sort of like Donaire did)... Difference is Loma might have enough power to knock Rigo out, but Loma isn't a huge puncher for his weight either.

As far as Rigo's age is concerned... Rigo like Floyd operates on such a high level that age won't be a huge concern.... He'll still be incredibly sharp.

I'm hoping for Loma to bring the dog out of Rigo. As one guy turns it up the other guy matches him in intensity...it's gonna be intense if a fight breaks out, that's for sure.

My man, you have great knowledge on the sport and I'm glad I can have a conversation with someone who doesn't just focus on the big things, sometimes the smallest things in the sport are the most important!

I agree about the comparison of Mayweather's stab jab but I've seen Rigo do it before and it's really stiff!

Loma is fast himself but I believe Rigo is quicker, I saw some definite holes in his defense against Marriaga and if Marriaga had more power, he would've hurt Lomachenko badly!

Loma's defense is his legs and offensive output!

He's really good at throwing decoy punches or pitter pats then when you open up he throws a harder punch in between the decoys which is insane to do all in succession!

I agree as well with Rigo outboxing Loma, I see it happening!

Loma has never fought someone who moves as well as anyone, knows how to place his shots, when to throw his shots, and make you fight their fight!

I root for Loma but that pic....lmao

Yeah but as the fight get closer, the odds will change!

It's always been like that, and I'm not a Rigo fan....I'm a boxing aficionado with love for the sweet science!

This Loma's toughest fight as well and if he struggles you Loma fans will eat crow forever!

If your a real fan like you claim why did you add the last paragraph?

[oscar9992]

Lomachenko became too co*ky lately talking more and training less.

But he is still a favorite though.

Cuz as a real boxing fan, Loma should not be subjected to The praises he gets just for beating Walters and Russell Jr!

He's being annoited as the best on the planet with just the eye test alone and that's not enough!

It will very interesting to see how much he disregards his defense against Rigo who is a much smaller man but can pack a punch even for a guy his size!

Gonna be a great fight either way!
