[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

I don't agree with Rigo's take on the fight.

But this is what I've been saying to Loma fanboys who insist we should count the Rigo win. It was a farce of a weight mismatch:

"I don't land on that Lomachenko list [of top fighters he's beaten], because I'm actually an 118-pounder and he was a 130-pounder," Rigondeaux added.

Great big fighter beating great little fighters happen in boxing.
They all count.

Loma v Rigo is no exception.

Yeah, but Rigo is the one who asked for the fight! Kell Brook also called for the fight with GGG! Canelo asked for the Kovalev fight! Now, LSC has called for the fight with Tank! If you initiate the fight, and you get that work, that's on you!

That's a fight I've tried hard to wipe from my memory. I still like to watch the Salido fight every now and then. I just loved the body work that Salido did that fight. I recall Laurence Cole putting in a great performance that night as well.

And we all know how much of a loma fanboy Rigo is...

Oh look Rigondeaux still making excuses for his loss.

I don't count the Rigo win much because of the size difference but regardless, Rigo should have shown some skills to give Loma something to deal with or look at. Loma literally had nothing bother him in that fight.

If Rigo is saying this, it is because he's sparred with Teo and knows something. They're levels and he probably doesn't think Teo is at the level that Loma brought to him, weight aside.

Lomachenko himself told everyone that. Rigo was the one begging for the fight.
