This was 90% skill and 100% will...
He was lost and didn't have a plan B. Also he didn't adjust or went for broke. He just decided to quit like a twat after all that crap he said

Originally posted by Shape up View PostRigo threw hardly any punches that landed, Loma peppered rigo with light punches, he didn't load anything, rigo had no problems with donaire who was about the same size as Loma, rigo had the bigger reach but he was beaten with skill, all the rigo fans were saying that rigo had the better power, power is useless if you can't land it, NEXT

Rigo was supposed to be the slicker, quicker counter puncher who was gonna expose Loma and break his jaw with his deadly left. Once Rigo got in there, however, and witnessed Loma in person, he quickly realized that Loma’s speed, slickness and skill level was far above his own, and just gave up.

Originally posted by Vlad_ View PostLoma’s height advantage could have been negated by Rigo’s reach advantage, the guys’s not a noob. Rigo is a 2 time Olympic Gold medalist like Loma, and he has plenty of experience. Rigo fought taller guys his whole career, I don’t think he came in the fight scared.

There are weight classes for a reason, and it wasn't like Rigo could put on 15 pounds to move up.

Originally posted by _Maxi View PostMan, don't do this, please. I know Loma probably beats Rigo if both were 122 fighters, but to say it was an even match or that the size difference didn't matter is silly, just silly.

Of course weight matters in a fight in general, but in that specific one it didn’t. Loma’s skill, speed and footwork was what mattered.
