"Loma is too big for rigo" myth busted

[Robbie Barrett]

Pacquiao beat Magarito who had a significant size advantage. Quintana beat Williams being the way smaller man. If you are skilled enough, size don't matter and you find a way to win. It's happen time and time again. Size only matters whem it fits your agenda. You're not fooling anyone.

If you are skilled enough you can overcome a weight disadvantage, but it's still a disadvantage.

Of course weight is important, and lomachenko said that because thats the excuse for not fighting garcia next

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.

Rigo hardly hit Loma with anything, so durability wasn't an issue. Rigo got dropped and stunned by lesser opponents, so him getting hurt didn't say much. Loma is an expert at closing the distance. He could've pulled that off against Rigo, at 126.

How much did Loma do against Rigo, that he couldn't have done at 126, years ago? Going off of what I saw, he was using his usual footwork to move all around Rigo, and his usual punch volume to offset Rigo's offense. Meanwhile, Rigo was holding and getting tagged trying to avoid punches in a crouching position. He couldn't set up counters, and was outclassed until he quit off a fake injury. Size does matter, but even Rigo said Loma's size wasn't the problem.

Are you sure that he's the one embarrassing himself?
