Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Weighs Career-High 128.4 Pounds; Lomachenko is 129

You can see Loma's nervous, he's never met anybody like Rigo. He had his hands behind his back holding them together. Rigo had an open stance to Loma like he had no worry. Loma sweating afterwards, removing sweat from his eyebrows.

And Lom as barely breathing while Rigo was hyperbreathing....just look at the video. And none of this matters just like the flip side when Donaire was relaxed and even playful and Rigo didnt look him in the eyes. And like when everyone said Floyd was nervous and Guerrero was relaxed. It is body language in the ring, not outside the ring that has any bearing on the fight.

As I've said in the past, I expect a majority decision either way or a draw. It will come down to who has the better speed, footwork, and defense and above all that, the strategy. If Rigo can time Lom coming in as well as going to the body and making Lom miss and lowering Lom's punch rate, Rigo will win. If Lom can use angles and volume and maintain a punch output, he can win. But within the evenly matched skills, it comes down who can either adjust or re-adjust and alter their game plan if needed, it things arent going right.

Nah, Rigo started "hyperbreathing" when they got separated. Loma was swallowing his own saliva and sweating. His heart rate might've been a little lower cause he probably sweated off 8 pounds before the weigh in, he looked skinny. Look how he bulks up tomorrow. Btw, I don't read too much into it, but Loma's been very arrogant and dismissive and he didn't look as confident in this weight as in previous. I think it finally hit him that there is somebody that is as good as him if not better.

You just lost credibility to everyone here by assuming any fighter that small would lose 8 pounds before the weigh in, on top of attempting to mind read. You've already read too much into it because that's what you posted and you wouldnt have posted it otherwise.

No, I read the body language, I can't read the performance of each athlete cause they haven't fought yet.

No, you mentioned 8 pounds which is lame as hell. Not a single expert or fan on the planet would take someone serious who says that a junior lightweight sweat 8 pounds before the weigh in. And obviously you read everything into it because you posted it and are still debating it. You were already torched when you created a thread about Lom's face. You were/are obviously bored as hell.

Dude, are you in a panic mode or something, relax and take a deep breath!

We saw Loma afterwards swallowing a banana after banna as if he was at a buffet. He'll try to keep his diet low until 9 Am tomorrow and then afterwards he can keep eating. He looked gaunt at the weigh in.

Dude, you are in boredom mode to the extreme. You are the one who needs to find something stimulating to do. Again, your little fictitious 8 pound sweat off before weigh in was incredibly brainless. I'll unblock you when I check back some day to see if you have grown up.

if lomachenko bum rushes Rigo like he did marriaga..he won't feel his jaw for quite a while..he needs to break him down round by round(very possible with the skills he has and goodluck with that) meanwhile I hope rigondeaux's weight gain won't affect him down the stretch..he needs every oxygen he can get for 12 rounds.. he can't afford to take rounds off given the judges may be crooked paid judges..hopefully not

You broke that down nice. I agree.

I got Rigondeaux.

This will be like floyd vs marquez.....except loma will actually get credit.
