"future p4p king" Lomachenko vs "El Chacal" Rigondeaux @126lbs/9 Stone: Who wins?

[pesticid]

I picked Loma because of his size, age and activity. That doesn't mean that I won't cheer for Rigo and that he can also win.

Problem is Rigo is old for his weight, inactive and really small but he's just that good.

Whoever wins this is PFP 1 without a doubt.

I think it would be a typical big man-little man fight, like Crawford-Gamboa and Golovkin-Brook. Rigondeaux's speed gives Lomachenko fits for the first four to five rounds but then Loma starts to figure out his timing and impose his size and it goes rapidly downhill for Rigo

The main interesting thing is that Rigo actually has longer arms than Loma, but I think Loma's head and foot movement would nullify that eventually

Yeah, okay:

a) Salido was never deducted against for the 100+ low blows he threw

exaggerate much? and if you're fair you would also bring up the 100+ clinches by Lomachenko. but seriously both guys needed to lose a point, or multiple points that night. i had Salido winning clearly, Loma didn't really find his groove until round 12 when he was letting his hands go with more confidence than previous rounds.





wtf was that ^^^

Rigo is one of the most overrated pro boxers today. He beat one good opponent who fell off the cliff 2 years later, and has absolutely no other notable wins. Rigo fought 2 guys in Top20 in his whole career.

He also goes down in every other fight. Lomachenko destroys Rigo in 5 rounds.

Judging Rigo OR Lomachenko solely by their resume is foolish.

And LOL @ "he also goes down in every other fight".

We can't forget about this megafight...

[Aztekkas]

It won't happen because Rigo didn't own a pair of balls big enough for him to have moved up to 126 when the fight was hot and being discussed.

Now Rigo is old news. A nearly forgotten case of an idiotic fighter that possessed infinite potential in his prime. A poster boy for what fighters with talent shouldn't aspire to be or do with their careers.

Meanwhile, Lomachenko continues to grow and move forward. All the while carving his own lane and making a name for himself.

Career wise he has stagnated but Rigo is still the same very dangerous, cerebral fighter he has been.

All I know is I'd root for Rigo.
