Rigondeaux clearly won the first round, even two of the three judges gave him Round 1.
Rigo was boxing beautifully, scoring nice punches and making Lomachenko miss.
Round 2 started and Rigo was once again befuddling Lomo and making him miss whilst scoring nice counters. Unfortunately around 90 secounds into the round, Rigo hurt his left hand badly and for the rest of round went into defencive mode. Lomo dominated the rest of Round 2 with his activity although never landed anything clean.
Of the 15 punches landed in the fight by Rigo, most of them landed up until his Hand Injury. After the hand injury, Rigo just couldn't compete fairly in the fight.
A healthy injury free Rigo would have carried on what he was doing for those 1.5 rds and went on to win the fight.
Also, i'm a huge fan of LOMO, one of my favourite fighters at the moment but i have to be honest and call the fight how it was...Rigo was winning this fight up until the hand injury.
