If you're betting money, bet on a DRAW

[Combat Talk Radio]

Rigo's old. His punch output is low. He gets caught rather easily. BUT, he's a sharpshooter with excellent accuracy.

Lomachenko's lost to Orlando Salido. I had him clearly beating Gary Russell Jr., but had that knockdown not been called a slip, the fight would have been much closer despite how well Loma was fighting; and the judges saw that which is why Russell got a 114-114 scorecard out of it. Loma was eating shots because he was standing and trading with Russell and didn't respect the power.

You take a guy in Rigo who we know is a sharpshooter who has no problems dropping opponents - but is old and bloated an easily dropped. You take a guy in Loma who we know is fast, accurate and sharp, but there to be hit and, in the grand scheme of pro, inexperienced.

Even Russell said he was drained because of the weight, fought anyway, was flat, not all there, and Loma still couldn't get him out of there.

So what do you get?

You get judges who won't be able to decide; who will give Rigo the benefit of the doubt if Loma can't knock him down; who will give Loma the benefit of the doubt of Rigo can't knock him down.

A repeat of Canelo/Golovkin, where the fans see and debate a clear winner but the judges score a DRAW.

The fight will be a draw if both fighters win 6 rounds with no knockdowns or point deductions.

It'll be a draw even if fans clearly see one guy winning 8 rounds. Mark my words.

I don't know if they'll be that generous in giving the Draw with a clear 8 rounds to Rigondeaux...I can see them screwing him Marquez-Pacquiao 3 style...

I obviously get and like where you're coming from though...

Fans are fans, judges judge.

Fans are fans, judges judge.

Agreed, which is why I'm sayin, bet on a draw if you want to get paid

Why aren't you betting then?

Because for some reason, 'Murica feels the need to collect your SSN to place a bet.

I mean if anyone gets the benefit of the doubt it will definitely be Lomachenko. If this is in play.

Rigo is the one who is up against all odds in every form possible when we're assessing possible political "tampering" :

-The MUCH smaller man
-The B-side
-ESPN has a deal with Top Rank, the lead promoter of the fight
-Loma is Top Rank's biggest investment atm
-Has the least "fan friendly style"
-Older

etc.
