Comments Thread For: Lomachenko on Rigondeaux: I Learned Nothing, It Was Easy!

[boxingitis]

More like it was rigged. I wonder how much money did Rigo get from Arum on the side.

So Walters, Sosa, Marriaga got payed too.

This fight ****** get off Lomas nuts already groupies. 10 pounds heavier obviously and makes Rigo jump 2 weight classes and it's a great victory over the smaller man. Gtfoh every one That I watched the fight with was disappointed with this mismatch.

Nobody put on gun on Quitllermo. He ask for it. It's not Lomachenko fauly he is way superior to everyone else. Makes Walters, Mariagga, Sosa, Rigo Quit. He outclass Walters, Sosa, and Destroyed Rocky who are the same weight as him. It's not the weight it's the skills. Loma is not even hard puncher.

It was not Rigondeaux's weightclass evidently and whilst disappointed with the outcome I still learnt a great deal from these 6 rounds between the elite of the elite.

[sterilizer]

In the ring:
Lomachenko 137.4, Rigondeaux 130 pounds.

Whereas vs. Salido, Lomachenko was 11 pounds lighter. And he got a bunch of low blows. Yet he went the distance, he didn't quit. And that split decision could easily have been in his favor.

Need I say more, to those using the weight difference as an excuse for Rigondeaux's incompetence vs. a fighter who is a gazillion times better than him? And most of all, those who dare justify the cowardice of quitting after the 6th, to avoid an imminent KO loss and being embarrassed and exposed even further, what's the justification for that, when before the fight his fans and Rigo himself were saying that he would KO Loma?

[iamboxing]

Such a disappointment. Buffer saying, "For the first time two Olympic gold medalists square off..." gave me goosebumps, half an hour later I and I was thinking, "Rigo fans are ****ing ******ed".

[SthPaw]

Can someone in here that for whatever reason is not sold on Lomachenko being a great fighter please tell me their reasoning? Using logic and fair comment, rather than ignorance and blind opinion?

And not just what he proved in the Rigo fight - in general.

If you don’t think he is a great boxer, tell me: why?

Cheers.

Bumping this...

I wanted to see it, I'm glad I saw it, but the result of the fight is explained fairly simply:

Rigo was too small and just too old.

He couldn't effectively try to hold or rough Lomachenko up once he realized he was tactically outmatched because he was just too small to even hang on, so in short: there was nothing Rigo could do to win that fight.

Rigo didn't do himself any favors though. I think in the moment he felt quitting was a better move than getting stopped. That depends on how you look at it though.


Loma vs. Garcia next!!

[SplitSecond]

Understandable since Rigo put up no resistance. Nothing much to learn.

So Walters, Sosa, Marriaga got payed too.

Sure, Arum is building the Nomaschenko rep with these rigged fights paying opponents quit on their stools and saying Loma is the best fighter since Mohammed Ali.

You sound pathetic

And you're blind. Keep drinking Arum's Kool aid.
