So tired of Pedro Diaz’s bullshit. I’m done with both him and Rigo. I wish Rigondeaux well — his actions will haunt him for the rest of his life, that’s punishment enough — but he quit ridiculously on his biggest day. Whose fault is that? This isn’t just talk, my friends...I’d rather they carry me out in a body bag before putting in a “performance” like that.

that said he'd still a highly skilled figter that beats all from 122-126......IMO

Any chance Floyd making Rigo vs Davis happen?

How about Haymon signing Rigo with PBC?

If Loma wasnt hurting him then why did he quit? He had a tennis ball under his eye after the fight and was getting completely dominated every second of the fight. His only defense was putting his head down and tying up but even still Loma found a way to prevent that and teed off on him at will. Why cant some of you people acknowledge greatness he might be the greatest fighter in history when its all said and done

Dude, Rigo had nothing to prove because he fought Lomachenko on his terms. Actually neither man had anything to prove as they both were fighting someone out of their weight division.

There were a gulf of lbs separating these two. That's why there are weight classes for a reason. Guillermo was way out of his league entering that ring with Vasyl and he even acknowledged that point.

He was the smaller man jumping up two weight divisions. If you fanboys want give Loma Brownie points for beating up a much smaller man then by all means carry on.

Lol he made Rigo quit after that ***** lost every single round "no blow out doe" "Rigo hold his own doe" lol gtfo with this ****. That fight was the defenition of a blowout. Rigo didnt land more than 3 clean punches in any round...maybe even in the fight, lost every round after getting his ego hurt cause he couldnt do **** and no mas'd, the one thing he said he'd never do. If that isnt embarassing then idk what is

God damn it, what was Loma supposed to do? Rigo was over matched from the start.

He was challenging a much larger, younger and stronger man. Loma should have knocked him out in the very first round but couldn't.

The pressure was not on Guillermo to win that fight as he was the proverbial underdog with nothing to prove. The pressure was on Vasyl to look impressive not Guillermo.

Why don't Loma jump up in weight to challenge Terence Bud Crawford? He won't because he lacks the heart and fortitude in order to do so. He won't because he is too big. He might get hurt. Excuses, Excuses, Excuses!

You are the only one making excuses. Making Rigo quit by outboxing him instead of beating him up or ko'ing him inside of 1 round showed that size actually had little to do with it. He beat Rigo on skill alone, he was levels above and showed that. If he would have knocked him out in 1 round then yeah i think size was the main factor. Loma won in the best way possible making the man do what rigo and his fand said he'd never do. I'm guessing you probably also picked Rigo by Briken Jaw but wont give credit to Loma now ? They were only 8lbs apart in the ring with a rehydration clause and everything. If Crawford and Loma were only 8lbs apart, sure i'd like to see it...but considering Crawford weighs freaking 177lbs outside of the ring while Loma doesnt even reach 140lbs, thats almost 40lbs difference, it's kind of unfair dont you think? 3 weight classes apart...if naturally not even more. It's the same thing as saying..."well if Crawford is so great why doesnt he go up and fight GGG or Canelo ?" But ofc you dont care about that you just want the little Ukrainian to get beaten, because you just hate to give him credit right.

Well let's reflect and examine why Rigo called out Loma in the first place. It's because fighters his own size wouldn't so much as dare as to step in the same ring with him.

None of the top guys at 122 or 126 wanted any part of El Jackal. Therefore, since he has to earn a living also. He dared to be great by leaping two weight divisions to get a fight with the very best fighter available.

He was forced in calling out a much larger champion because he was the only opponent available for him at the time. Cruz, Mares, Frampton and others wanted no part of Rigo.

However at the same time, Loma didn't prove much by defeating an older, smaller and weaker man. So what damn difference does it make? Nothing because he was the betting favorite going into the fight in the first place.

He was supposed to defeat Rigo; Just like Danny Garcia was supposed to defeat a shot and wash out Brandon Rios. It meant absolutely nothing because most boxing fans already knew what the outcome was going to be.

You would have done the very same thing once you learned that you were the over matched opponent fighting someone who was naturally younger, stronger and fighting two weight classes ahead of you. If those two were the same size or if Loma would have cut weight down to two weight divisions, in order to challenge Rigo, I can guarantee you that he would have never quit. As a matter of fact, chances are he probably would have knocked Vasyl out if they were the same size because Loma is not a huge puncher.

Spoken like someone who wasn't following Rigo's social media leading up to the fight.

Yes, the pressure was on him, because of what he promised to do, and what he promised he would never do. Or whoever runs those accounts.

Then there's that "0". That creates pressure.

It's still a mystery why he quit unless he just got deflated off a big head. Hopkins got schooled just as bad by Kovalev yet he stuck it out. Lemieux got schooled by Saunders just as bad, he stuck it out. Somebody lied to this guy.
