[hyeduk]

2 the most decorated amateur boxers, both 2-time Olympian, 2 time World Champions, both are in P2P list, fighting for title and this fight is not on PPV? lol go figure

Rigo is as ready as he’ll ever be. He’s in fantastic shape. So is Lomo. The stare down was as good as it gets. Both men laser-focused on the task at hand. Can’t wait for this thing to kick off tomorrow!

Rigo looks great .. good shape .
Left to the body , left to the head all night long and Loma will be koed ...

Hit and not be hit

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

I second that, excuses are for sore losers. Rigo has the ability to win, and honestly I did not see a big size disparity between the two of them.

Having say that, my heart is thorn I really like both of this guys, to me Rigo should be if not P4P number 1, among top three, his skill is second to none, even when they had Andre at first I though Rigo deserved that claim over Crawford and Chocolatito, but than I saw how Lomachenko dismantled Russell and Walters, and I say this two are the most skill fighters of this era.

They both looked to be in the best shape theyve ever been, loma has height advantage but rigo has the reach advantage and they both look ripped, I dont usually put too much merit in the face off but in this case rigo genuinely looked shook, couldnt even look loma in the eyes, i got loma winning by @$$ **** in the late rounds

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.

I agree, also Rigo might tire later , he's like mini Joshua haha

How big is the back of Lomas head? That's where he keeps that boxing brain

So I haven't really followed these guys, why couldn't the fight be made at featherweight?
I get that Loma is the A-side as Cuban fighters struggle for promotion
Is Loma thought to be too big for 126 without being drained?

Finally an unbiased Rigo supporter. Because most of them are very aggressive against someone who has a different opinion than them.

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.

Me 2. This is the 2nd time Loma fought a guy below his weight class. And Rig is 2 below. HOW does this NOT effect P4P???

Define P4P???

Pound for pound is a ranking used in combat sports, such as boxing or mixed martial arts, of who the better fighters are relative to their weight (i.e., adjusted to compensate for weight class)

Loma has a belt at 130 and he wants to move up to 135 so he said it didnt make much sense to go down in weight if hes planning to move up, valid point hes spent a couple years at 130 and none of the other champions want to fight him so why would he stick around? Thats what I like about lomachenko he wants to make history and fight the best

[Catrin]

I hope Rigo shows up to fight! this is a lifetime opportunity for him! please don't do a LARA on canelo!!!!
