Comments Thread For: Examining Loma-Rigo: Can the Ultimate Fight Fan's Fight Deliver?

[kiaba360]

Both are used to fighting someone with a lower IQ. They are used to beating people mentally before defeating them physically. Both are used to decreasing the activity of their opponent's. These elements can possibly lead to a fight where not much leather is exchanged.

Rigo has a significant reach advantage, he'll try to time Loma coming in or going away, if he can do it consistently he'll probably win. ...but that is a really big IF

Fight him then??

Only way it would be Gatti-Ward would be if they both got drunk before the fight.

Not down-playing Gatti-Ward in anyway, but both Gatti and Ward were fairly limited in the silky skills department and their styles just meshed to create the wars of attrition that they created - and for anyone who hasn't seen the Gatti-Ward fights, its a must watch and will have you saying 'holy cow' (or equivalent) multiple times.

This fight will be the sweet science version of Ward Gatti which was carnage, guts and heart in their putest forms. Gatti Ward was like looking at a finished Picasso painting. Rigo Loma will be like watching Picasso paint the picture.

IMHO, comparing Rigondeaux's current situation with Cotto's is just totally ridiculous. Cotto has been through wars TONS of times, against top fighters all the time. He has gotten punched A LOT. They may be the same age, but fight-wise, Cotto is at least 10 years older in accumulation of received punches. Just the poundings he got vs. Margarito, Pacquiao, Canelo, to name just a few, easily explain the HUGE difference between one and the other.

This is the first time Rigo could get a real beating. And thus, finally show for his age. But until this point, he is as fresh as a 27-year-old guy, such as Loma. It is an advantage, not a disadvantage, to have had such little fighting and opposition, because he won't come with both the physical and emotional scars of having been beaten real bad previously, as Cotto has.

Still, I don't think that will be enough. I expect Loma to take his hard punches and then beat him up real bad. If he took so many hard punches from a much heavier Salido, including a bunch of punches around or below the belt line, I am sure he will do fine vs. Rigo, who also, won't find it so easy to connect punches to Loma as he did to lesser fighters including Nonito, who are amateurs at defense skills, compared to Lomachenko.
