Rigo broke silence a few months ago saying Loma was better man.Said he gave his best.

As everyone says, significantly bigger. Besides, why would Rigo complain? He'll never see Loma again or fight a high level Top Rank fighter, so accepting his purse was good enough and to accept defeat.

Rigo lost. same way Mikey lost to Spence, no answers. but 7 pounds? lol yeah ok

Loma was 137, Rigo 130.

Impossible. Top Rank and ESPN with their fake Unofficial scales. What were their morning weights?

It's physically impossible for Rigo to have a difference of 7lbs. Eye test alone proves that.

Don't get me started posting pictures and shredding!

Show us proof of what Loma weighed as they entered the ring. While you’re at it, you will need to discredit Floyd vs Marquez/Hatton/PAC, Canelo vs Khan, Hopkins vs Oscar/Tito/Wright, Spence vs Mikey, Rungvasai vs Gonzalez 2x, Danny vs Morales 2x, Tank vs. Fonseca, and tons of other fights that don’t pass the eye test on fight night.

And on top of that, the fight was not fought in a manner where a bigger guy was leaning on a smaller fighter wearing him down, it was pure skills. Now if Loma had stopped Rigo with one punch, then that could have been claimed by a size difference, but size did not come in to play. Imagine if Loma had been a slightly smaller fighter - he would have been faster and landed more punches on Rigo and been hit even less which would have created an even greater gap between them. The better fighter won that night and nothing the detractors can say will ever change that.

Great points. Loma was still faster and dominant in every aspect. Rigo fans don’t have a leg to stand on, he turned down the fight at 126. Prior to the fight they were all talking about how Rigo was going to school Loma prior to the fight. Then as predicted, they gave Loma zero credit for beating him in humiliation fashion.

Better yet, what was reported the morning of fight day. Then ask yourself, since when do fighters maintain that morning weight till fight night.

And then lastly, all of Rigo’s previous opponents at 122 were bigger than him... Amagasa weighed 143lbs on fight night.

So you think 137 : 130 were the fight night weights?

Lol

Please man

Those are the reported weights. At least Loma got on the scale day of the fight. Can’t say that about many of Floyd and Canelo’s fights.

That fight was an absolute joke the moment it was announced and in the ring it showed.

Great buildup though.

That battle was like a chest match. It was like Rigo has already seen that Loma has every answer for whatever he could possibly offer. Rigo knew ahead that things would only get worse for him. That’s why he quit. Sometimes you don’t need to get hurt more just to understand that you’re gonna lose the battle. Rigo was quick to realize that’s why he wasn’t beaten bad, at least physically.
