Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I Won't Be Surprised If Rigondeaux Quits!

Arum benched Walters for a year before they fought....

Arum put his hand on the scale by benching Walters for a year and then putting him in against Loma. That's really not a great win to be honest due to Walters inactivity. Now Loma is fighting Rigo after being two weight classes higher. Arum is definitely slicker than a can of oil for sure.

NEW YORK Vasyl Lomachenko wouldn't be surprised if Guillermo Rigondeaux decides to go out the same way Nicholas Walters did. The confident southpaw said Wednesday that he thinks he can make the undefeated Rigondeaux quit when they square off in a highly anticipated 130-pound title fight Saturday night. Walters was unbeaten when he got in the ring with Lomachenko a year ago in Las Vegas, yet decided seven largely lopsided rounds were enough and declined to continue.

Well, Rigo is not Walters. If anyone's quitting, it will be Loma like he "quit" doing his thing when hammered by Salido.

quit the excuses.

If Rigo quits, I will be disgusted. I like both fighters, but that quitting stuff because you are losing is just horrendous. It is one thing if you are seriously hurt. However, quitting because you are frustrated shows a lack of mental toughness that other good and great fighters have shown. Hopefully, both guys put on a masterclass that hardcores and casuals can enjoy.

No one likes to be embarrassed.

That is why Walters quit.

Loma is feeling himself a little too much. There hasn't bee anything in rigos character that shows that he'd quit. The guy is one of the most confident boxers you can find. I hope he whoops Loma and it's a clear victory with no need for a rematch.

True, Rigo has that supreme confidence. He reminds me of Floyd in that way. Also like Floyd, he's a really proud guy who almost gets embarrassed if the other fighter lands a good shot (remember when Cotto gave Floyd a bloody nose and Floyd had that funny smile on his face?) It'll be interesting to see how he reacts if Lomo can get to his body. It should be interesting.

I won;t be surprised also.
Loma is just too prime and too skilled for an overrated guy.

Damn Loma needs to talk it up now because he won't have a jaw Sunday morning

I'd be amazed if Rigo quits. This is a true 50/50 fight between 2 greats. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional and/or doesn't even know boxing.
