Well, that's now either the 5th or 6th time I've watched that fight. I guess if it was a circus, it was a circus in the best way. Perhaps you could give me a few short examples of what made it seem so bizarre to you.
I know the stoppage was a bit bizarre. Rigo's attitude like he was "feeling helpless" or something. Loma was playing up the holding to the Ref, to the point Rigo looked dumbfounded. Then finally, just the pure genius of Lomachenko and how he goes about fighting.
I do think there were just a few times where Loma seemed to push Rigo around a bit with size. But you know mainly this bout shows how Loma is a product of what happened in the Salido fight.
He saw how much the Ref can impact a bout, in that Salido match, he solicits and keep the ref's attention throughout the bout. I think deep down he feels cheated, and he'll never allow that to happen again.
He does try to gain favor with the Refs and get away with whatever is possible. - again learned in the Salido fight. - The animated pulling out of the clinch, and so forth.
Nothing Rigo tried worked, and he was frustrated. Whether his left hand injury was a huge factor, I don't know. But I do know Loma's footwork, pivoting, and feel of range with defense, was superior and is just generally off the charts good. I'm sorry, it just is.
