Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Rigo Has Very Boring Fights, I Need To Change This

[landotter]

I am sorry; but, I see Rigo winning this fight with the sweet science of hit and don't get hit. If the plan of Lomachenko is to make a entertain fight, then Guillermo got this easily. Lomachenko have to fight more intelligently. One power counter body shot of Guillermo can end the Lomachenko reign. I am always going to root the defensive fighters. Don't underestimate a small old fighter who is extremely skilled, especially in the defense department. And please, don't bring me that bull sh¡t about the knowdowns that Rigo receive, this have no meaning in this fight, a important fight for Guillermo. Fighters like Guillermo learn from those mistakes.

Very important fight for Lomachenko as well. And Loma has had to learn from his only loss, which proved to him he has to stay sharp and respect what his opponent brings. Rigo can't win by just laying back and "outskilling" (NEW WORD!!) Loma who has every bit the amateur pedigree Rigo has. Both have gold medals and completely white-washed their opponents, so Rigo has very little over Loma in anything like defensive skills. You do not dominate the amateur ranks like these two did without near spotless defensive skills.

Always take the younger, hungrier, naturally bigger opponent when pure skills are fairly even. Rigo, of course, can certainly win this. But I just most of the fairly small advantages getting checked in "High Tech's" columns. I got Lomanchenko in another late round stoppage due to accumulated punches.

Just knock that bum Rigo out. Exterminate him for us.

Loma will get schooled by Rigo. PS: Rigondeaux will have a 3 inch reach advantage against little arm loma. Loma will not be able to get on the inside AT ALL

My head says Loma, my heart say Rigo - this fight is as big as GGG Canelo in my world.

Loma is cardiomonster. He will twist the oldman all night and finish him. Rigo can`t survive in that tempo and million punches coming from every side will show who the boss

Don't worry Loma you'll make it exciting enough when Rigo connects on your chin all night

Funny how many dk riders Loma has. Disregarding prob the best boxer in the world saying Rigo is too old too small too slow. Fight night he's going to hit Loma with so many flush shots the ref gna stop

Lol I have little doubt this will be an entertaining affair. Lomo comes to fight, and this may very well be Rigo’s swan song. I’d be very surprised if that combination doesn’t produce a good fight.

good fight on paper but we've all seen this before. one guy could just go on defensive mode after finding out that the other guy is more superior. i highly doubt this will happen but im just saying.

Please don't say Rigo was too old after the fight.

I'm amazed at how many people think Lomachenko has a porous defense and no skills. Dude is extremely talented and an expert at angles and hitting and moving. You'll be surprised by him.

Haha You’re right. But in this particular fight, I’d be pretty surprised if it does. It’s rather important to both men. This could very well be Rigo’s last big fight. And for Lomachenko, his aspirations of stardom will take a hit. A second loss in only eleven fights, against a smaller man, regardless of how great, just doesn’t look good nowadays.
