    Who here picked Rigo?

    I must say that's one of the worst predictions of all-time. I'm talking the folks that said even with the age and weight jump it didn't matter and STILL insisted Rigo would win and that could only lose by robbery.

    And despite making a mockery of your pick and ability to emotionally view Boxing subjectively you probably are giving less props of anyone too I assume?

    What an awful pick. I mean no controversy, no cheating the scales or the re-hydration and just a dominant performance from start to finish. Probably the most one-sided seemingly competitive fight along with Loma-Walters in recent years.

    I changed my pick to Rigo the week before the fight. I thought his movement and speed would be the difference. The fight played out exactly the opposite.

      Didn't give Rigondeaux much of a chance.

        I was picking Rigo to win a fight between them about 2 years ago and changed my mind about a year ago.

        Rigo was not really showing us much as of late, whereas Loma was clearly on his way up.

            Ok so your picks aren't based on anything actually boxing related just who you want to win?

            Got it.

                  No one picked Rigo to win.

                  Lomachenko fans are pretending that people were picking Rigo to make this win seem better than it actually is.

                    Why, why would I pick a dry, unsmiling overrated boring fighter? He stunk up the place again by his non stop holding and bending so low.

                    It's clear the guy loves giving it, but hates taking it.
