    It will be hard for me to give Loma credit if he wins.

    Props to Rigo for moving up two weight classes to fight him.

          Loma probably did himself a disservice by stacking the deck like he has. He's truly in a lose-lose situation, IMO.

          I look at this fight like I looked at the Brook-GGG fight, and GGG gets absolutely zero credit for beating Brook.

            I am curious if this weight will affect Rigo´s speed and stamina especially when it gets tough and he will be forced to fight at a higher pace which will be dictated to him by Loma.

              That's how I see it as well.

              Rigo has my full support in this one. He's been ****ed over by boxing politics and I wish him one last hurrah before he hangs them up.

                that stare-down tho!!! both guys refused to disengage. This will be great. Got Loma Winning but Rigo's left hand is deadly, man.

                  Have some faith in your man, the fight hasn’t even started. Prepared excuses are sad.

                    Never understood this logic...

                    The men are fighting at a contracted weight, don't like the contract/weight don't fight.

                    Look at heavyweights, not any different and weight differences are huge.

                    If one feels he is so much better than the other than why should a few lb matter?

                    They should cut divisions in half anyway.

                    If Loma decides to go to 140 and gets knocked out he's to blame not the man that KOd him.

                    Same with Salido fight....Salido was massive but I don't think it mattered, what mattered was the low blows and ****ty ref.
