All time great amateur not pro after losing and throwing 1/3 less than Lomo will have excuses def a old g though probably 40

If Rigondeaux pulls this off, I can't see why he won't be considered P4P the best in the sport today. Not only this but such a victory should guarantee a Hall of Fame placement.

loma is overrated and lost to salido doe...but he's all of the sudden an atg if rigo wins.

Sugar Ray Leonard gives his thoughts on how Kell Brook can beat Triple-G

August 30, 2016:

And Leonard added that there are lessons Brook can learn from his 1987 Vegas clash with Hagler.

"To maintain the weight was quite difficult, I was kind of a natural welterweight," said Leonard.

"My weight would not go beyond 155 so it was very difficult trying to maintain 160.

"I was trying to figure out what weight I should be. As the fight got closer, I weighed in at 158, which didn't take away from my speed and didn't take away from my mobility.

"Brook has to understand what weight is he most comfortable at, what weight won't take away his speed or his movement.

"I kept moving, I could not stand toe-to-toe with Marvin Hagler. The times I did, was just to release my combinations, and then get back out.

"I could not be a stationary target because it wears you down against a bigger guy, a heavier opponent."

“More weight than what they think and less than what they really imagine,” Rigondeaux said.

This man is an OG. Win or lose, Rigo will go down as an all time great.

Yeah, I can't stop reading that quote. That must be Jedi speak

2 great fighters, both on the P4P list... Lomachenko is the one under pressure though... Fighting a guy 2 weight class under him and planning to destroy that guy, he has no security net ... Rigo being Rigo will pull the upset on Boxing IQ ....

The king will break Lomas ribs or eyes .. you will see .

Hit and not be hit

[MisanthropicNY]

The guy is moving up 4.5 lbs from his highest weigh-in and he's older now - there's also a huge difference from moving up to 130 then there is moving up to 154 or 160.

The weight will actually help Rigo - he will not have to worry about cutting weight - he can just focus on training... this is an extremely tough fight for Loma...

It's only an upset to cas-tards who bet in Vegas...

Same casual ******s who thought Conor had a serious chance against Floyd...

Rigo's footwork gonna be the key. If he can keep his distance Loma gonna get frustrated and tagged with counters. If Rigo can't keep up with his dance partner, Hasta la vista baby!

[jmrf4435]

Rigo is my dude, Loma’s gonna throw way less than he ever has and is gonna struggle to land.

keep dreaming. If loma cannot find Rigos little head he'll work his body over like a cuban escort
