    Lol, is everyone being serious or is this some meme that I'm missing

    Lomachenko is a really good fighter, arguably p4p the best, but this is ridiculous.

    Guillermo Rigondeax hurt his left hand, full stop; their tactics basically negated each other, but Rigondeax didn't take a beating, his face wasn't marked with swelling/cuts/bruises, and didn't end up looking hapless at all.

    Lomachenko's big TV highlight was missing a 10-punch combination for heck's sake.

    Yet now, in the spin after the fight, fans and the media are trying to act as if it was some wide washout, lol. Even if you did have the fight scored 6-0 for Lomachenko, that still does nothing to change the fact that the first 4 rounds could've basically been scored 10-10, due to neither guy landing all that much effectively.

    No one is going to go back and watch the fight again (which is likely why the spin is going to work on most folks); that should set reality for folks, but it won't.

    Oh well

    Rigo didnt hurt his hand. Its just a lie to save face, he fought the same way he always fights. Its true, lomachenko didnt really inflict that much damage on him but he was schooling him and toying with him. Nothing rigo tried worked so he tried to turn it into a clinchfest then got bullied and quit.

      Totally agree.

      Folks who act like some massive beating was handed out saw a different fight from what I saw.

      Rigo was never buzzed, nevermind seriously hurt.

      But, he was embarrassed tho, looked every bit of his 37 years- ancient for that weightclass.

      Folks who look at this performance and expect him to do the same to more competitive fighters are in for a surprise.

        missing combination sequences against Rigo is the new ''schooling''

          If you believe Rigo hurt his hand then you are definitely missing something.

            He didnt miss all of them. He missed a good amount but he touched him up as well. It wasnt even that he was landing that much rigo just had nothing for him and was looking clueless. He couldnt deal with lomachenkos angles and footwork then started desperate holding and got tossed around in the clinch lol.

                    way to refute a point almost nobody is making. It was a complete domination not a huge beating because all rigo did was hug and bend over at the waist.
