Lomachenko isn't a brute who's gonna walk you down and overpower you. Lomo will always use his skills to outbox you and his ring iq. Against rigo, it was all skills. The weight advantage didn't matter. If rigo weighed more and was bigger the outcome would have been the same.

Let's get this **** straight. Size had very little to do with Lomo's win over Rigo

I think you have acknowledge size and especially age played a factor in it
When was the last time a 37 (probably older fighter ) was near or at the top of their game in the 122 division
Loma did his thing and should get credit to some extent because I think he took away Rigos will to fight

Why do people think size only matters when you are bulldozing forward?
If that was the case we would see loads of smaller guys looking to make a name for themselves by stepping up in weight to fight pure boxers.

Rigo had all the cards stacked against him. I’m not gonna make excuses for him, but age is a major factor in life, and especially sports. 37 years old is past the physical prime of any person, man or woman. When you’re pitting two highly skilled athletes against each other, a difference of nearly a decade can be huge. I think this is self-evident. Anyone who doesn’t get it is still too young to understand, and/or has never competed athletically.
Props to Lomachenko, but let’s not pretend this victory proved anything. The man himself doesn’t think so, and that’s not false modesty.
