Will Rigo become like Walters post fight? An inactive hype job?

[Ogecca MaMa]

Strange how easily some people can confuse facts with excuses sometimes...

Rigo is much smaller: will probably be outweighed by 10-15 pounds on fight night, which is massive for the lower weight-classes.
Much older: 37 and we don't know exactly how past it.
He has been inactive: three rounds in the last two years.

Those are irrefutable facts, regardless of who you'll be pulling for. The only posters bothered by those facts are obsessed with Loma getting credit for a "great win" and claiming the P4P throne, and with calling Rigo a "hypejob, always overrated, etc.". You know how this place work... That's why they are trying hard to sweep the size and age difference -inactivity is not as important in my opinion- under the rug.

and how this aint Rigo's fault, answer us please )

dude among with his team thought they were smart in hope to pull more money in future. now that he received what he wants, why you fellas mad and look for excuses?

Rigo is not handi-capped, neither he is mentally ill...he is perfectly fine, and the praise that Vasyl will get is legit.

Is he going to be p4p#1 after the bout? no.
Is Rigo currently overrated? no. 0 f***s given, no one even knows him. how can he be overrated throwing 10 punches a round and winninjg by running around. if he thinks he is Floyd Jr..then yeah, ok. we can clearly see "results" last fight of his career, who even knows whats in his mind...suing Roc nations etc.

the only problem here is Rigo, his team. why Blame fans for your Boxer's actions?

You're a bit late, people call him that already.

Rigo is wrong.

Not excuses. Facts.

37yrs old. Normally weighs 125ish fight night. 3 rounds in last 2 years.

Deny it all you want, this would not be a great win for Lomachenko

Exactly, what is he supposed to say before the fight that he is selling to the public?

Rigo has everything to gain and nothing to lose, the opposite is true for Loma.

Both guys are unbelievably skilled but one is a lot bigger and younger, it will ultimately be the difference but I still see a competitive fight at least in the early rounds.

Heart hopes for Rigo but head says even with all his talent he can’t afford to give up that much size to a guy as good as Loma.

Your post made no sense whatsoever. Lay off the Vodka buddy.

My post was about stating facts, which I did, not about discovering whose fault it is. Unlike you, I couldn't care less who wins, I simply see the fight for what it is, a physical mismatch on paper.

The rest of your post about Rigo running, throwing two punches per round, being unknown, me blaming the fans (??) is totally off topic.

Why do Loma fans have an issue with people bringing up the fact that Walters was inactive for almost a year? With all due respect, many of you have brought up inactivity as a reason for a loss or to lessen a victory by a fighter you do not like.

It's very hypocritical to get mad when that same standard is applied to Loma.

Because a lot of the Loma critics who discredit his wins don't apply the same standard to Crawford. Crawford's best win is Postol who was out the ring for 9 months before their fight.

Why I don't hear a lot of boxing fans mentioning the fact that Postol and Gamboa were coming off the same 1 year layoff?



It's just hypocrisy. It gets absurd to the point where some NSB ****** told me "POSTOL was a better win than Walters because Walters was inactive" I was like "Are you for real, they're both were rusty for 1 year

I don't have a problem with both wins, I just can't stand these double standards

Crawford's best win is Postol who was out the ring for 9 months before their fight.

Crawford's best win is Gamboa, and these two fights proved that Gamboa was much more competitive against Crawford than Postol. But that doesn't matter, Gamboa was inactive too

Yes, there is a lot of hypocrisy both ways.

I think what is clear is Arum has a specific way he builds his guys. He puts his guys in the most advantageous positions, something ODH and Floyd learned well.

In both cases they fought what was expected to be tough opponents who had both been inactive for a while.

all fighters are hype jobs around here

[Combat Talk Radio]

I'd say if Rigo wins, he is arguably p4p #1 and if Loma wins through a show of skill p4p top 3.

For what?? Who'd they beat? Beating Top 15s don't earn that!
