    Rigo was too small... period.

    Yeah he fought like a coward, he cheated, and quit. He bragged about his attitude and then he had all except attitude. Maybe his twitter account is managed by someone else and he doesn't have a say in what's posted there...

    From what I'm seeing, he barely rehydrated a few pounds fighting in 122. He was probably max 130 last night.

    Not only he was smaller physically, he was outweighed by 10 pounds if not more.

    The man just wanted a payday... think about him. He needed maybe to buy a better house, maybe somehow secure the future of his children if he has any. I don't like the hate he's getting.

    Yeah, I know it's his fault. I know he could have been more exciting in his career and maybe get better fights. He's boring as hell. His fights are horrible to watch sometimes, I'm not denying that. I think some expected him to make it an even fight, and he didn't even had the body to put on the necessary weight.

    It was over before it started.

    I actually didn't find the size difference that big of a deal. We've seen plenty of fighters with the same amount of size difference go in there and whoop ass before, so I'm not about to hang Rigo's loss on that. Loma beat him by being the superior technical boxer anyway, not by imposing his size and strength on him.

      Going to have to disagree with you there. Size and weight were a non-factor.
      This was 90% skill and 100% will...

        Rigo looked like he couldn't move in there, maybe his own size was an issue. there was no snap in his movements at all.

          man, even if the weight was a factor, the problem is he didn't even try, I don't why he bothered to show up - it was pathetic

            Size was a factor but it wasn't that big of a factor, it wasn't difference maker... Rigo still would through his 2-3 punches per round & lose UD.

              The size difference made it MORE impressive for me. The smaller, lighter guy got outpointed / outlanded and was made to look slow. This wasn't a GGG vs Brook affair where the bigger man dominated the smaller, slicker man through brute force alone, it was a technical showpiece.

                Yeah, don't forget about Canelo vs Khan, where Khan was outboxing Canelo early on but bit later in middle rounds his glass chin got shattered... lol

                  Yep that one especially. Khan was doing what the smaller, slicker, faster boxer was supposed to do until he got caught once by the big man. Loma didn't get lucky, unless you count 55 punches landed to 15 getting lucky.

                    Size doesn't matter if the big guy doesn't lean on the small guy. This is what i've been told by the very smart Lomachenko fans. Loma will beat Joshua if Joshua doesn't lean on him.
