Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Lomachenko Will Knock Rigondeaux Out!

[Lopez_Boxing]

Listen, I know what you're saying, but sometimes these type of fights aren't the best to watch. I think it'll look like the Hearns v. Benitez fight. Great tactically, but low on entertainment value.

I hope Rigo is faster (hands) than I think he his, but something tells me he wont be able to keep up with Loma's hand speed so he'll nullify that advantage, resulting in less exchanges. I could be wrong but considering the skill level on both sides, I think that's the likely scenario.

But it's all b.s. speculation, so we shall see lol

I know what you’re saying. But I’m taking these guys pedigrees into account. I’ll be just as excited to see what they make each other NOT do as I will to see what they can do. I agree about the low action, but in a weird way that’s what will be entertaining to me. But you seen lomas last fight when the guy didn’t engage Loma was forcing him too.

If Loma fights even remotely like he fought his last fight against Mariaga. He will get stopped. He was hit a lot in that that fight and if he does that against Rigo he will pay dearly

lets see loma run in there with his hands down at rigo, and invite him to the corner lol theres bout to be a glitch in the matrix

I don't think..........

Skill-wise this is the best fight in boxing that could be made right now... winner is number #1 lb for lb - don't care what anyone says - these guys actually fight with skill and not just overwhelming opponents...

Not sure why this fight is not getting the hype it deserves - people would rather discuss Canelo-GGG over and over again, and then pay lip service to fights that aren't even signed just keep sucking off Joshua with no contract...

This is a hardcore boxing fans wet dream...

I don't think ANY of that could have been said ANY better. Very well stated Champ.

He barely got hit at all.

People are really sleeping on Lomas footwork in this fight. It's going to win him this fight.

The main reason I don't see Rigo winning is because of him jumping up in weight. Otherwise I would slightly favor Rigo to win. But we'll see I'm very interested in this fight. Hopefully both fighters won't be punch shy considering they are both counter punchers.

If Rigo were to win this fight - and he's not number 1 lb for lb, then I'm done with lb for lb...

The winner of this is #1 lb for lb... skill-wise Canelo-GGG are amateurs compared to these guys...

Yeah if those two don't get the credit they deserve then i wouldn't know what else to say too. Hopefully we get a brilliant fight, we get fans supporting the fight and we get the negative media supporting both fighters going into the fight.

No excuses

As far as Im concerned. Rigo ran his mouth and begged for this fight and the LDBC was saying Loma was ducking for months.

The fight was made and when Loma exposes and overwhelms Rigo and beats Rigo.....I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY EXCUSE.

Loma gets hate due this online boxing race war....But I do not want to hear any excuses about age or weight.

we'll see

Is that roid gut on that boy Joshua? Look like a ***ing action figure

[CubanGuyNYC]

I see it going like Crawford/Gamboa. Just the size advantage being the deciding factor. I hope not though. This is probably the first fight I’m actually rooting for someone to win. I’m usually “may the best man win”. I LOVE Loma and rigo (2 of my favorite actives) but have to go with my countryman/underdog on this one. (I’m racist haha). WAR RIGO!!!!!!

I’m in the same boat. I’d be rooting for Lomo versus anyone else, but I’ll be pulling for Rigo in this encounter. And, like you, I’m afraid the size advantage will be the deciding factor. Then again, you never know. Rigo has beat bigger opponents before, guys that probably punch harder than Lomachenko. It could turn out to be a complete mismatch, or it can turn out to be a classic. We’ll find out soon enough! War “Chacal!”
