Comments Thread For: Spence-Garcia To Be Announced As FOX PPV March 16

[HI-TECH Boxing]

Hi-Tech, u just take the sh.t too far sometimes. I still to this day don’t really know y Rigo quit as Loma couldn’t really find him.

Rigo went into EXTREME defensive posturing. So much so that he severely stifled any offense he could of had.

Rigo should have weathered the storm, then maybe he could have found some sort of offensive rhythm since he wasn’t being hit much by virtue of his Matrix-like defensive moves and his clinching while in close.

U saying Loma fought in a way not to hurt Rigo is ridiculous, because your taking away Rigo’s only good quality that fight, which was his defense, and giving that to Loma too.

Loma was peppering him with shots. He obviously wasn't trying to hurt Rigo. If he was he would have walked Rigo down. Rigo is not as mobile as he used to be. It would have been easy for Loma to walk him down, but guess what? He didn't. He kept it in the center of ring and just threw small peppering shots.
Just look at the types of punches Loma was throwing.
Show me a clip of Loma throwing with mean intentions and walking Rigo down.

I guarantee Spence is going to walk Mikey down and try to hurt him.

HOLY SHÍT

This pic really shows some perspective I never realized how big Spence actually is compared to Mikey, gotdamnmmmm.

You must not know the definition of "perspective" if you think Mikey is like 4'10

Rigo got hit, it just wasn’t a whole lot. His Matrix-like defensive style had his head down near the floor a lot and therefore had Loma tentative not to throw because it would have been a foul (back of the head punch).

Crowd started vehemently booing Rigo for delaying the fight due to excessive holding and lack of offense. If Loma had an opportunity to KO Rigo, he would of done so to appease the disappointed crowd.

Furthermore, to walk someone down they have to be fighting standing straight up most of the time. U can’t walk someone down when they are doing their “Hidden Tiger Crouching Dragon” posturing defense, not to mention excessive holding on the inside. It’s impossible.

Just look at how Loma was throwing. He wouldn't even bringing his arms fully back. Meaning each punch had less and less power behind it. Nothing but peppering shots. Loma clearly wasn't trying to hit him hard.
It was almost funny the way Loma was throwing his punches. They weren't even the pitty-pat punches that Loma is known for using. By the way, Loma didn't use pitty-pat punches much as an amateur. That's something he has being doing more as a pro.

The only time Loma got a bit rough with Rigo was when he tried to get out of the clinch. Even then he didn't manhandle Rigo. Just look at the way he tried to break away. He wouldn't push Rigo back or anything like that.
Offensively I don't remember a time when Loma really sat on his punches or threw fast powerful combinations with the intentions of KO'ing Rigo.

We can agree to disagree. You think Loma was trying to hurt Rigo, while I think the opposite.
If Loma was trying to hurt Rigo he would have gone about it a very different way.

GGG was trying to hurt Brook. Canelo was trying to hurt Khan.
Those guys were throwing bombs. Loma wasn't throwing with similar intent as them.

I may watch it again and see if I see it any differently. But from what I do remember is that what Rigo was doing made mustering up any real offense for anyone, nearly impossible.

Now I’m starting to see a trend (not saying your necessary doing it) where someone likes a fighter a lot who struggles in a fight offensively, for example Usyk vs Bellew.

So instead of admitting Usyk was being outboxed and cleverly countered, which gave Usyk real problems with his offensive production, they’ll just see what they wanna see and come to a false conclusion that Usyk was just giving rounds away on purpose.

Or that Usyk was carrying the fight on longer for the fans. Or just ignore they saw Usyk struggling at all.

That picture is fake news, that small size advantage won't be enough to hold back the future ATG Mikey Garcia while he is peppering Spence with hard counters all night.

His body is full of booze and bbq wings while mikey is ready to fight tomorrow, that dedication will show up on fight night...

its time spemces stops living off that unspecial kbrook win and walks into a real fight against a true P4P talent.

The people saying Mikey is brave or daring to be great won't even care about him after he gets beat down.

Also, this isn't completely the same as Loma/Rigo. Rigo started off at 122 and went up to 130 to face a guy that started off at 126.
Mikey started his career at 126 and is moving up to face a huge Welterweight and that began his career at 147.

Also, Loma fought in a way to not hurt Rigo. He just ended peppering Rigo with punches. Spence is not going to care as much as Loma. He is going to go out there to destroy Mikey.
Good luck to Mikey though. It's going to be funny when the same people supporting him now won't even care about him afterwards.
But watch people will find a way to blame this all on Arum and Lomachenko.

Facts, and the double standards the LDBC puts out will validate this.
