"Loma is too big for rigo" myth busted

[Deevel916]

Size does make a difference but it wasnt the reason why Loma won. He simply outclassed Rigo. Loma was faster, had better footwork, and let his hands go more. None of those have anything to do with being the bigger fighter.

What's funny is you're the dumbass here, but don't know it.

No one is saying that but your acting like Rigo was doing his thing but Loma was to big and walked through all his shots to win. He out skilled him and made him miss crazy. His "jaw breaking" left didn't land once and was dodged.

this proves how much protection spoilers need from the ref......loma was the a-side so he didnt have the ref bailing out rigo with all those spoiling illegal bending, turning, holding. Rigo simply went too defensive and once you do that, a guy as skilled and confident as Loma,who learned all the tricks of pro fights from losing to Salido, had a field day with that overly defensive spoiling style because he didnt have to fight the ref as well.

Dispute what I am saying then instead of calling it ******. How about that? Have we seen fighters before who were shorter than their opponent and win? Yes. Have we seen fighters being outweighed way more than their opponent and win? Yes. Surely Rigo being as skilled as he is would have to overcome those obstacles as well and win but he didn't. What makes this fight so different than the others? Just cus you don't like results?

You're a childish troll so this is my last response to you. Smaller fighters often win DESPITE being smaller, not because. I told everyone Rigo would lose this one, and predicted exactly how so you can get over that angle.

This is what fanboys do; they take a fight in which their guy is heavily favored, and then try to pretend it was 50/50 afterward.

Please explain how Loma beat Rigo because of his size since you know so much the sport.

donaire was a huge super bantam. what the heck are u talking about?? coward donaire went up huge in weight on fight night. and he is 5'7" easily. pls get ur facts straight. point is donaire got completely clowned by rigo not because of size but because of skill. do u understand????

same situation with tonight. loma used PURE SKILL TO OUTCLASS RIGO.

Donaire wasn't as big as Loma. He weighed 133 against Walters at featherweight. Loma weighed 137 this morning, probably more in the ring tonight. Just stop lying.

Loma is more skilled than Donaire, but the size also made a difference.

Being able to take a punch better, being stronger, harder punches and just physical presence when pressuring. It's why we have weight divisions.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

"I know more boxing than you but instead of dis*****g what you say, I'm just going to say you don't know anything cus I clearly don't know how to dispute what you are saying."

Figure out why boxing has weight divisions. Smart guy.

Eh? I haven't acted like that at all.

rigo didnt land one significant punch (only landed 3 punches a round what the heck?????), loma was just pitty patting rigo for most of the fight like it was nothing like he was just walking through the park hahahahaha. so what harder punches what strength??? loma barely loaded up on any of his punches. loma barely used his size. only times loma used strength and power was to get out of rigo's tight clinches.

pls just wipe the tears from ur eyes and actually watch the fight. u'll see that size played ZERO FACTOR IN THIS FIGHT. ZERO. NONE.
