Comments Thread For: Bernstein: Beating Loma Was an Impossible Ask of Rigondeaux

[future hendrixx]

he gonna break his jaw and ribs doe
arum dont want it because of what happened to donaire doe
size dont matter doe

bunch of hoes making excuses for the most pathetic quitjob in boxing history. nobody "asked" quitondeaux to do ****! he BEGGED for this fight. his fans all pressed loma to take it and said he was ducking. now loma is being portrayed like a bully. nonsense.

the only reason this didnt take place at 126 was rigo believing he was a superstar and pricing himself out like a hoe. then loma moved up.

this wasnt about size it was simply a skill gap that was too wide.

the media and fans didnt show walters this sympathy when he quit even though rigos pathetic quit job was worse! he should've had his purse withheld and suspended. there was no injury and he wasn't taking a beating. his ego was simply shattered with loma styling on him.

rigos lasting legacy will be that of a coward. he should never fight again.

the bottom line is: One boxer was younger, in his own weight class and very skilled. The other older, heavier and with a lot of ***** going on. It was an up battle hill. I'm not defending Rigondeaux but the facts remains. Every time they clinch Rigondeaux looked like a toddler been shake by an angry bad stepfather. It wasn't even close.

You completely missed the fact that Rigo preferred to clinch and that wasnt even clinching, that was hugging that Rigo was doing!!! Rigo couldnt solve the puzzle in front of him and had no answer to the technically superior boxer!

The skills difference was obvious. Most fighters who use angles and can turn a fighter can hit him from a position he is not used to seeing punches come in at. Because of those angles that the punches were coming in, Rigo's defense was rendered ineffective.

And as fast as Rigo was, Lom anticipated him and slipped punches from a guy who many said would have no problem landing on Lom.

Another key was Rigo wasnt used to being hit by a guy with a left uppercut, let alone a very accurate one. That punch waited for Rigo every time Rigo came in low.

It is very obvious who had more dimensions to their game and who did not.

If their sizes were reversed, Lom would have been even faster and Rigo would have been slower and Rigo wouldnt have won even a 15 second frame of a round, let alone a round. Rigo would miss even more punches and Lom would connect with more punches due to an even greater speed difference.

you are 100% correct, that was a huge ask

as Lomachenko himself admitted, Rigo was up against it

size matters

[kafkod]

So I was exactly the same as Bernstein on this fight. As soon as it was talked about I knew that, no matter how good Rigo was, Loma was too good to lose to a smaller man.

Wow, the media and the fan boys still aren't done playing the Victim Card for Rigo... he will be a victim for life now... #VictimSquad

The biggest Ward Kov cry baby is talking about Rigo being a victim. ****en cry baby. Just stfu cry baby. The boxing world knew that Loma was too big for Rigo. The boxing world knows Bob set Rigo up as well.

Greatest fight of the decade they said, two time Olympic gold medalists face each other for the first time ever in Boxing. A game of chess between two masters, a fight between two warriors for the centuries.

Holy crap why the **** was this fight even made?

Rigo is 6 and a half percent lighter than Loma in weight, shorter, but with a 3 inch reach advantage. All things being equal, Loma should have been better than Rigo by 6.5%, perhaps won a 7-5 decision.

But Loma was like a God against an amateur Bum in there.

Loma’s talent was on a level that made Rigo quit like a loser.

It’s not the weight, 6.5 ****ing percent is nothing to justify the complete domination. It was not a Chocolatito vs Joshua fight, it’s a small guy against a very slightly heavier but still small guy.

But now the ****** shlt people write about this fight makes me question why the **** was this fight even made? I mean 6.5% weight difference. Cry me a ****ing river.

Pretty cringe worthy post lol.

You couldn't say this armchair **** under your real account so you crawled under this pathetic alt to say this load of trash lmao. Tell Loma to rematch Salido. The fact that his ***** ass didn't rematch Salido tells me more about Loma's heart than Rigo's.

What the hell? Salido was offered Loma rematch several times. He was offered 720k $$$ and refused. But don’t let facts get in the way...

[Raggamuffin]

What the hell? Salido was offered Loma rematch several times. He was offered 750k and refused. But don’t let facts get in the way...

You do what you do to make the rematch, foh with the excuses.

You do what you do to make the rematch, foh with the excuses.

Well if Salido refuses what can be done? He did retire and then unretire a few days later so maybe he wants that final payday against Loma but if he refused before, should a gun be put to his head or his family taken hostage or something?

On another note, merry Christmas!
