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

[CubanGuyNYC]

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

If you’re basing a Lomo win on conditioning, you’re off track. Rigo is always in amazing shape. The man is a specimen. That aside, Guillermo’s style and ability allows him to maintain a pace suitable to him. This is going to be one interesting fight. Both men are at the top of their class.

I thought BoxingScene was "hardcore" boxing fans...but the lack of comments and enthusiasm for this fight - with probably two of the most skilled fighters of this generation is pretty shameful...

Just proves my theory that this site is only filled with FIomos, Wilder and Canelo fans... they obsess over GGG, Pacquiao, Joshua and McGregor - without those guys relevant to the article to hate - they don't care.

Well your partially right why I stop coming to this site. Just the hate is getting tired to read. I skim it every now and then just for boxing news.

Oh I'm not too excited about this fight either because I feel it's a big mismatch and the books agree with me. He's a 5/1 fav. Rigo is too old small and I feel like Loma outskills him anyways. Got Loma by mid round stoppage.

Loma needs to test himself against bigger guys not smaller ones.

This is very true. There are some knowledgeable and real fans on here though BUT I'd say it's mainly what you described. Love Floyd, Ward, Wilder and obsess over GGG, Pacquaio, Joshua and everything else they put in sides - Canelo is cool because he's a rival to the evil GGG, Loma is scum because they link him to GGG as an Easter Euro.

Most other fights and fighters they don't care, watch or know.

They paid a little bit of attention to Chocolatito because he was packaged with GGG but it was just 'He's not fought anybody" but Wilder has hmmm.. and any fight that went 12 rounds and went to the guy they rooted against was a robbery..

Loma has the right idea if hes gonna try and make it a faster paced fight

The Sportsbooks also had Floyd-Conor at like 3/1 - so you thought that fight was competitive because of betting odds?

First 5 rounds loma will be figuring Rigo out, next five he will be destroying him.

Claiming someone is boring just because they dominate fights in their particular style is so damn lame. Rigo is as sublime in his style as Loma is in his. I just want this thing to happen. I've waited long enough.

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.

Dude is coming up 2 weight classes late in his career and he already was too small for 122 Loma should be dominant and any other result is just proof of him being another top rank hype job

Donaire was heavier against Rigo fight night then Loma will be, so your saying Rigo's biggest win was a hype job so the win was not so big after all in fact? Going by your logic and thinking.

Rigo has the ability to control the pace with most fighters, not someone as skilled as Loma though, Rigo has been sat on his arse a number of times by guys not anywhere as skilled as Loma, after round 5 it will be a lob sided event
