Why was rigo holding so much?

[chrisJS]

Was he just outclassed?

Ofcourse he was had no answers,Lomachenko prob and feinted the **** out of him, made him flinch, when he wanted to throw Loma was already gone, he was seriously outclassed, he had no answers and therefore was clinching, he quit because he's a proud man and he was embarrassed,it was total domination, a whole other level of skill, granted he was older and smaller but i think Rigo would still easily outpoint frampto or Santa cruz, well maybe not anymore because Lomachenko might have broken his spirit as a fighter moving forward in his career

His hold is classless. Nothing to do at all with the sweet science.
He's got no absolute regard for the rules and the ref.
They don't exist.
It's like he's in a street fight.

Frustration.

Loma called him out constantly to the ref on it, too.

Hi-Tech won't get bullied since Salido.

Would be nice if every fighter called out cheaters the way Loma does.

Because he didn't want Loma to punch him

When a large fighter gets physically close, you can get bullied VERY easily. He didn't want Loma physically moving him around, getting in shots that break the guard, etc. So, when Loma got too close, he held him.

Don't get me wrong, I didn't like it. I hate holding just for the sake of stalling the action. But, I know why he did it. You can't let a bigger guy be that close to you. You get ***ed up.

Why even take the fight, Loma didn't even look at Rigo as a opponent yet Rigo kept antagonizing him. For like like 4 months straight everyday he would post random **** about Loma, ducking, being sacred trying to get the fans to leave cherries on Lomas Instagram and twitter. He got a realty check.

[Make U Cry]

because he witnessed and felt greatness in the ring.....

He and his fans were made to look beyond ******ed.

He always fought this way. He has no game from close range. When the opponent gets too close for his liking he either ducks down bellow the waist or holds. The thing is, most other fighters didn't have the footwork to put that much pressure on him so he didn't need to hold that much in the previous fights.
