Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Explains Why He Favors Lomachenko Over Rigondeaux

[Kiowhatta]

Whether you like Teddy or not, he's a great analyst. He utilises relevant metaphors and analogies, that, along with his no-nonsense straight-talking style, appeals to boxing fans.

I agree with Teddy here. It's speed chess v slow chess. The only chance Rigo has is to try and lull Loma into showboating and catch him off guard.

YESSSSS Loma has a L to Salido, but nobody but Loma haters give that any legitimacy. Loma doesn't know how to lose, confidence is sky high, and Rigo has been doing zip.

Good analysis but it's not news that Atlas picked Lomachenko. He think he's P4P #1, why would he pick against him? I agree with but I'm starting to think this will be a close fight.

We all know what happened the last time rigo was an underdog. #Rigolution

Teddy needs to get off the Speed himself. The pillow puncher Loman chanco will not beat Rigo without the help of the judges.

Oh no! The Teddy Atlas Jinx! Why couldn't this dude STFU!

Loma v. Rigo > Canelo v. GGG

This is the fight I've been looking forward to the most - I can't wait! And you can watch it on regular Cable - it's going to be a great Saturday night.

The only reason Lomachenko will win is because he is a true Soviet Warrior, but Rigondeux is also a B'aath (communist) friend, very hard to pick who to root for

Really? You throw in your primitive nationalistic emotions into your evaluation? RLMAO! Well...if that's the case then I will tell you that...the best boxing in the world is still the American boxing brand (Black Americans). And if black folks lived in Russia...the best Russian fighters would be black. And it obviously has nothing to do with commie, imperialist or socialist tendencies...and everything to do with human DNA (in most cases) Rigo is moving up 2 weight classes to fight this chump...he's 37 years old...but his DNA will be the determining factor here. And despite all the things he has going against him...I still think that Rigo breaks his jaw.

It's not "regular" PPV. It's not even irregular PPV. What a dumbass.

I would like to thank promoters of both fighters for doing everything in their power to keep this truly historic fight so well hidden from a public eye.

Because he’s white, that’s why.


Let’s go, Rigo!

Ok, but if and when the white man wins against this dude you probably think will school him don't have any excuses afterwards.

I have a feeling this place will be a mess with excuses from the same folk proclaiming it an easy fight for Rigo.
