Comments Thread For: Video: Team Rigondeaux Provide Update on Hand Injury

[minemax]

I saw the corner go for the tape on the right hand first, but didn't catch any of what was said. Doesn't necessarily mean they went for the tape on the hand that was allegedly injured though.
...

Ok, let's think about it for a second. They stop the fight because of the hand injury and then... start untaping the other hand first.

Isn't it, ehh... strange?

He bricked his hand in the first round, he smashed it against Loma's right elbow, from then on he stopped throwing it, as he was already engaging nicely from the start of Round 1. Rigo is a 1-2 hitter. He was just jabbing his right hand after the 2nd round. He couldn't do anything about it! Video proof to come.

Now reports like Boxing Clever, just random writers willl try and make it seem like the injury was fake... Low and behold Wilder on PBC broke his hand as well smashing Arreola. Difference is weight differences from all fighters mentioned

Loma GOAT defence according to you? Shattered Rigo’s power (jaw and socket breaking)hand in the very first round.

Damn Lomachenko really is the matrix

yes defense. did we make Loma miss all those shots, or was that Loma in the ring?

Think about this for a second. In the interview they said he hurt his LEFT hand in the second round, then again in the third.

Rigo jabs with his right, so lets look at the power punches he landed in each round:

Round 1: Zero. ok, he didn't say he hurt his hand in that round anyway.

Round 2: ONE. So must have been that one punch then right ? (even assuming it was from a left and not a right which I don't know).

Round 3: ZERO. So err, did he hurt it again in the third just waving his hand around ?

Even if Rigo didn't hurt his hand, you are looking at the wrong stats. It could have been a punch that was blocked on the elbow, glove, shoulder... Hey, if the hand was wrapped wrong, he won't even have to throw for it to start hurting.

Bottom line is Rigo was overwhelmed. He never fought a naturally bigger, extremely skilled guy like that who stayed with him side by side like a reflection. Regular pressure fighters don't even mirror opponents that well.

I personally would like to see a rematch after Rigo has fought 3 - 4x in one year.

True, an awkward missed punch probably more likely to cause injury than a clean one.

But all those years in boxing, and at this level, and hand wrapped wrong ? That would be astonishing.

Unfortunately, chances of Rigo getting 3-4 fights in a year about the same as my chance of getting it on with the Tecate girls, and the chance of a rematch about the same as my chance of the Tecate girls wanting me back for a second round.

Rigo came out with the wrong gameplan and paid the price. he needed to establish his jab instead of trying to fight like some drunken master. Loma is no regular boxer. just pure arrogance by Rigo to try those tactics.

he embarrassed and disgraced himself.

NO excuses from
My part ... rigo quit . Loma beat him
I called for rigo ko but instead it was a humillating defeat .

Hope rigo is well , will always be my fighter. He gave me many victories, since cuba ...

Rigo is done , I think

Hit and not be hit .

Lying clown

lying clown... don’t believe this POS

He hurt his hand grabbing Loma's head. You can see him holding and hitting and when the ref stepped in and pushed them apart, his wrist was still wrapped around Loma's neck.
