Comments Thread For: Arum: Where Did Rigo Hurt His Hand? In The Dressing Room?

Don't worry Bob, a little "salt water," and some prayers, and that hand will be just fine! Go ahead and set up the rematch! Lol!

Same place Pacquiao hurt his shoulder.

Exactly! Pathetic excuses are nothing new in boxing! Great performance by Loma! Too big and fast for the old man! Rigo can never comeback from that. Duran did it, but Duran was able to go up in weight, and Rigo can't!

So what will you say when the doc says the hand is injured?

Boxers fight with sore hands all the time. He wanted out of the fight because he couldn't lay a glove on him. He quit. Plain and simple.

[mvooom]

So lets see:

wasnt sure which hand it was he broke at first
then wasnt sure which round it was

He only landed 15 punches the whole damn fight. WHEN did he break his hand? complete bull**** excuse. He never winced or complained about it in between rounds the whole fight. He couldnt handle Loma's superior speed and activity. Everything Rigo threw, missed. He had an embarrassing 8% connect rate.

You are right but don't forget superior size, Loma looked like a giant in there.

He didn't hurt Rigo, it was just mentally overwhelming - footwork, accuracy, volume...

He says he injured it in the second where he is credited with his first and only landed power punch in the first two, so must have been that punch right ? (he jabs with his right and that's assuming the power punch was a left).

All that pounding on lower level of opposition with no problems, then one punch on Loma and his hand breaks.

Loma must be the boxing equivalent of Chuck Norris - he breaks people's hands with his head on top of everything else he does.

I’d love to know exactly when that was, because I didn’t see Rigo land a thing that could remotely appear to cause injury. Arum is right to mock Rigondeaux. That was a quit-job of the highest order. Horrible, just horrible.

Pardon me for being "that guy" but I couldn't stop myself;

Daily Mail, 2011;
"American Andre Ward has revealed he beat Britain’s Carl Froch in the Super Six super-middleweight final earlier this month despite breaking his left hand in two places in training.

Ward, who recorded a clear points win in Atlantic City on December 17, told ESPN: ‘Early on, the adrenaline was working. But in the sixth round, when I hit him on top of the head, I hit a wall in terms of the pain. But we got through it.’"

the irony of Arum contextualizing injuries, one fighter defies injury by throwing so many punches, whereas the other, who threw under the bus on his team, shows less output after truly damaging his hand....

Rigo was ****ing on a heavier mass. Amagasa's weight was a tall dude, so that power distribution is different than a more bulky Lomachenko, the torso's are apparent. That's why Nelo had a hard time moving GGG, that water bag makes a difference. Rigo hurt his hand in the first round. He smashed the carpals on Loma's right elbow. After that moment he stopped throwing, and Loma was in the same stance and movement as the earlier half. From the 2nd round Rigo knew the hand was blasted... just throwing jabs on no followups. Rigo lost, but the circumstances are really punking Loma fans

quitting would make an injury actually seem more likely....thats why when pac claimed injured shoulder, despite throwing several combos after the time he claimed, it seemed pretty desperate to save face
