Not even going to be close.
Loma has been fighter tomato cans who come forward.
He will hit nothing and get countered to death, be in shock first few rounds and lose.
I got Rigo by Wide decisions or KO depend how good Loma chin is.

I think it will be a very close fight, and Lomo will get the decision.

Being white and all that....

[TBear]

Leaning towards Lomachenko by decision.

Rooting for rigo but think judges will favour loma coming forward...hes the money fighter

A lot depends on the start, if loma starts slow or gets tagged by something big early, rigos gonna be more confident and relaxed and perform better . If rigo loses rounds early and is playing catchup hes gonna have to fight outside his element

If rigo wins then put him in the hall of fame that same night

Lol Agreed.

I also agree with your fight analysis. Rigo doesn’t want to find himself playing catch up. He’s got to find a way to make Vasyl dance to his rhythm. The key to making that happen is by making Lomo feel his power coming in. If Rigo’s power carries, he’s definitely got a chance. If not, it’s Lomo by wide decision.

This has been an extremly tough fight to call. I've been wrong before and often but I got Rigo by a wide ud. I think rigos movement and counterpunching will cause problems for lomo. I think even though rigo is moving up he will be the puncher.

[CubanGuyNYC]

Funny, I just watched an interview where Lomachenko predicted the Rigo fight would go the distance. Lol First time I hear this.

[BrometheusBob.]

Honestly, I'd be shocked if Rigondeaux won. I just can't imagine it.

It wouldn't be upset of the year material on paper. You can't really compare it to fights like Cotto-Ali or Gonzalez-Rungvisai. But to me personally, it would be the most surprising outcome of the year.
