I could be using competitive to suggest the fight was close, or I could be saying, it was competitive in the sense that the two opponents fought an unrelenting fight. Which is what happened. Despite getting outclassed, Russell never stopped pressing. Evidenced by the punch stats. (Each of the last 7 rounds Russell threw above 60 punches. Despite getting hit with above 50% of power shots). Russell threw 806 punches, to Loma's 597.
I scored the fight 10 - 2 as well. But both fighters brought it that night, which is what the orginal posters was criticizing "black" fighters for as if Walters and Rigo were Black Americans.
Simply stating that "trying" is not the same as "being competitive". Yes Russell tried for 12 rounds but he wasn't competitive. That fight was embarrassing for him.

Let me just say it. I do not buy 4 professional fighters quitting against the same fighter because they were outclassed. Lomachenko is an exceptional fighter who everyone knew would win but I do not get why Rigondeaux would come up with a BS excuse and quit. This is not boxing! We've seen other dominant fighters before. We've seen plenty of one sided fights but this is a new era if we're to believe this garbage we saw last night.
On the fight itself, the most glaring thing to me was Rigondeaux's power did not have any effect at 130. Lomachenko complains too damn much. You're not the referee... These damn mosquito bite punches are flashy and all but when you have to keep a bigger fighter off you let me know how that work out. And stop going behind your opponents back. There's a big difference between showboating and clowning your opponent. With that being said, Lomachenko gets all the credit for the way he dominated Rigondeaux. However, it's not surprising and really nothing to gloat about. He didn't even gloat which was the most impressive thing last night.Last edited by HarvardBlue; 12-10-2017, 10:03 AM.

Maybe loma was just feeling him out in the first round then turned up the pressure but loma didn't do anything in the first round so don't just give him the round cuz you wanted to.
