Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Backs Lomachenko To Beat Teofimo Lopez, Explains Why

[Elotero]

Guillermo Rigondeaux has a favorite for Saturday's mega fight. While still recognizing the talent of Teofimo Lopez, Cuba's 118-pound champion considers Vasiliy Lomachenko to be on a higher level and backs him to be the best in the ring.

Saying this because Teofimo picked Loma over him.

Under the belt work is not body work. It was counted 49 times that he landed under the belt and came in 4 divisions bigger. If you personally dislike someone, sure you probably dont care and enjoy watching fails and bad judgement just to laugh at someone. I wouldnt be surprised if you enjoy our president's arrogance too.

I think you missed the sarcasm in his post....

LMAO. Rigo was a top 5 p4p fighter. Lomo was never even a big 130 lber. He moved up in weight. This wasn't that big of a size difference as people make it out to be.

Nobody is saying to remove it from the record, point is it doesn't count as a 'great win.' Not even a good one.

Oh wow, you idiots never quit

[Boxing Goat]

dude you so fake...... an unbeaten in pro olympic gold (twice) champion.. not a great win... such a fanboy....

That's not just a fanboy, that's a complete Loma hating idiot.

It's pathetic

I don't size was the only factor in that win and there's no excuse for him quitting, but there was clearly a significant size difference between the 2. Loma looked legitimately at least 2 weight classes bigger than Rigo.

I'm clearly joking. I thought mentioning Laurence Cole made that clear. Totally serious about Rigo vs Loma though. Absolute shambles of a fight after the anticipation it had from hardcore fans. I'm not American, I'm English.

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.

That settles it then! A random schlub on the internet has spoken! Forget what a two time Olympic gold medallist says. BoxingIsGreat knows better.

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.

Are you being sarcastic?
If not, get your head checked. Lawrence Cole is one of the worst refs in pro boxing history. The guy is a grade A moron.

Rigo wanted that fight. Nobody forced him to fight Loma.

You don't agree with a guy who fought Loma and sparred Teofimo?
What do you bring to the argument other than your opinion?
