Men as good as they are at anything are usually pretty competent in general. I’ve seen Guillermo rap in Spanish. He’s actually pretty good. Lol

I could link 6 fights where Loma lost 2 and could've lost the other 4 in the pros and in the AMS. I can't find a single fight of Rigo where he's been close to losing and I've never seen anybody land a clean shot to Rigo's body who is a phenomenal body puncher himself.

Even skittish Marriaga landed a strong body shot on Loma I believe in the 5th round and stopped him in his tracks. Also, let's not forget about Salido. I know Salido was dirty and came in overweight but guys like Gamboa and JMM tore through him like he was nothing.

My prediction is not in the poll, so I will just spell it out here.
I see it going even at first, but Loma starting to get the better of it by the 4th round. By the 7th round he is completely dominating Rigo and knocks him down. As the ref is administering the count, Bob Arum enters the ring and hits loma over the head with a steel chair rendering him unconscious. Rigo rises before 10 and the ref counts out Loma. Rigo then jumps into Arum's arms and pulls off Arum's mask showing that Arum is actually Fidel Castro, who faked his own death for this monumental event!

You make some good points though, bs aside, though I don't think age will affect Rigo here - he doesn't take much punishment, and he is a fantastic defensive fighter with power (power being the last major attribute to fade with age).
I think this must is much closer than you expect. This is the best opponent either would have faced professionally, and this might end up being the best win on Lomachenko's record if he wins when it's all said and done. Nevermind resumes, Rigo is a phenom. So is Lomachenko, and that's what makes this fight outstanding for boxing purists.
