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

    Like so many boxing fans, Teddy Atlas is looking forward to watching Guillermo Rigondeaux move up two weight classes to challenge Vasyl Lomachenko. The ESPN analyst, who'll call the fight from ringside December 9 in New York, just wishes it would've taken place five years ago, when Rigondeaux still was in his physical prime. Atlas considers age, activity and size to be disadvantages Rigondeaux (17-0, 11 KOs, 1 NC) won't be able to overcome when he challenges Ukraine's Lomachenko (9-1, 7 KOs) for his WBO super featherweight title next month in The Theater at Madison Square Garden.

          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

              Teddy Atlas picked Lomachenko? You dont say!On a side note Teddy said Lomachenko has always been a winner. Uummm, news flash Teddy he has an L already. Besides Rigondeaux is just as good if not better then Loma. I got Rigo by decision.

                  Teddy went into more detail, but I've been highlighting the same points about this fight over the last few months. Love Rigo but he has an uphill battle in this fight imo.

                          Rigo will win and show why he was ducked by 2 complete divisions and has to go up to 130!

                          Seriously, would anyone at 122 and 126 be a favorite against Rigo?

                              Because he’s white, that’s why.


                              Let’s go, Rigo!

                                      That settles it. Rigo wins.
