    There's a big difference here....

    While I and some others on here predicted that Loma would white wash Rigo and totally embarrass him, there was a huge sentiment among fans that Rigo vs. Loma was a competitive fight.

    There were even people in the cesspool that is the LDBC saying that Loma was ducking Rigo only to go silent and then delete their videos after he embarrassed Rigo.

    The public sentiment for Mikey vs. Spence is that the fight is a mismatch and almost no one is giving Mikey the same chance to beat Spence that people gave Rigo to beat Loma.

        Loma totally outclassed Rigo because not only was he bigger, he could box just as good and he was just as fast if not faster than Rigo. When the going got tough, Rigo couldn't go inside and proud the body, Mikey can.

        That's why Mikey has a real shot to beat Spence imo. Nobody gave Rigo a shot to beat Loma except his fans, and clueless boxing fans. People might count Mikey out but this is a styles fight.

        Almost everyone actually wanted to see that fight lol as for spence-mikey there is absolutely no demand for it.
        Why do you think that is?
        And the odds will not even be comparable.
        I like Mikey but he’s too flatfooted to go against elite big guys. Kind of like Marquez wouldn’t be able to runaway from guys like cotto or marg no matter how good he is.

        Rigo could potshot Mikey at a distance if they are of the same weight. It’ll be like the donaire fight, with Mikey banking on his power shots.

        Rigo vs Loma prime to prime p4p is a toss up. It’ll be offense vs defense.

        And why would rigo fight loma on the inside when the latter is the bigger guy??
        It’s tough to beat a big guy if he’s just as good as you period.

        Also the size diff between spence and mikey is so much bigger than loma-Rigo.

        As it currently stands, I believe mikey can/will beat Loma at lightweight. Against spence, it’ll be a pounding

          Lmao, this fight got made because so many people claimed Loma was ducking Rigo/wouldn't fight him/would lose. Even some dumbass posters here said the above. I here this bull**** everytime and it's a laugh. I've been saying since before it was made that even Walters himself would have whooped Rigo and that the fight was pointless. But no, Loma was ducking Rigo, Arum would never let him fight Rigo (same thing we heard with Linares, LOL), etc.

          Look at the dumb **** people were spamming on his social media:

          The symbols were cherries, chicken, and balls mostly, fyi.

            I predicted Rigo would lose because the size difference was too much. I feel Mikey (my current favorite fighter) will lose because the size difference is too much.
            I don't know why it's so ***ing hard for boxing fans to be consistent and/or honest.

              Anyone with a brain knew that this fight was a size mismatch. And the percentage of people who gave Rigo a chance...their names were either Slim or None.

                There is a demand to see Mikey fight period. Fans will jump at the chance to see Mikey and Spence. Imo this isn't a size mismatch because of Mikeys style.

                Many of Loma's fans act like they're disappointed that he isn't fighting Mikey lmao. Mikey believes that he can beat Spence. I do too. Mikey isn't too flat footed. Mikey is an elite fighter. He's a pfp fighter. He didn't get there because he was too flat footed.

                Even if Loma and Rigo were the same size and age...imo he couldn't beat Loma because he can't fight inside. Loma can box from the outside and he can fight inside and he has fast hands. Rigo didn't come close to outboxing Loma. It was a total mismatch.

                I like Mikey's chances against a guy who won't move. Spence isn't a mover. Mikey will shine in this fight. And if he loses, then he was supposed to lose lol

                  Everyone was expecting to see Rigo embarrass Loma. They predicted another Donaire moment. Didn't happen.

                      I hope mikey-loma happens first before he fights spence. Coz if it’s the other way around , loma fight won’t have much relevance and quality as it currently does.
                      If Mikey beats Loma then he can go fight spence. If he can’t even get past Loma then it’s time for him to wonder what could he really offer spence.
                      Or are you one of those guys who think loma is more dangerous than spence at this point in Mikey’s career? lol

                      We’d never know about the prime loma vs prime rigo at same weight as it never happen.
                      Your just basing your result against a
                      37 yr old rigo climbing 2 weight classes while also being relatively inactive for the past 3 years.

                      Rigo’s ego bleed first than his body. That’s what happened.
