Loma was exposed tonight
Collapse

Folks are going to hate, but yeah, this is the second fight in a row where, when given a determined opponent, Lomachenko had serious issues creating openings to land hard clean shots.
Rigo was clearly too small (he should've never find above 126, and even that was likely a bit of a reach), but, outside of apparently busting his hand, Rigo took near no actual damage.
Stellar jab, defensively aware, and with a boxing brain (to take advantage of all of Lomachenko's extra movement) and a 126/130lb fighter has as good as any chance to beat Lomachenko.
He heads to 135, and Lomachenko could walk onto some trouble.Comment

Rigo barely landed on him either... 15 total punches according to compubox, and how many were actually clean?Folks are going to hate, but yeah, this is the second fight in a row where, when given a determined opponent, Lomachenko had serious issues creating openings to land hard clean shots.

Keep in mind, Rigo was the one that was supposed to be the boxer and land at will against Loma. He Didn't come close.Comment

How was Loma exposed by missing shots, against a defensively talented fighter? He didn't need to make the counters miss by a wide margin. He slipped them, and that's all that matters. If you think the fight was even, you need to get your eyes checked. Also, what did Rigo punch, to damage his hand, air? He landed nothing that would hurt his hand enough to make someone quit. He just didn't wanna fight anymore. Loma got these Rigo fanboys going crazy. Lomachenko won fair and square. Deal with it.

No one is arguing that Rigo landed a ton of shots.
My point is that Lomachenko is open to falling onto some stuff if a fighter near his size brings their boxing brain and minds the defense. All that extra movement, to try and create the opening to land, is where Lomachenko can be landed on.Comment
