Comments Thread For: Hopkins: Lomachenko Will Knock Rigondeaux Out!

[j.razor]

I don't think Lomachenko will be able to hurt him but if he goes down and fails to jump right back up, the ref might wave it off.

I thought Donaire was huge compared to Rigondeaux so he's used to fighting much bigger fighters. However, none of them as skilled as Lomachenko.

Just got word that the WBA plans on dropping Rigo out the rankings if he loses. Meaning if he loses to loma, bob arum & espn then Rigo won't be ranked in his own division. They are trying to set Rigo up! If the fight is close & Rigo wins they will give it to loma.

I'm rooting for the clear underdog here Rigo, but I think that he's way past it and I think that his inactivity especially at the championship level will hurt him a lot against the way bigger, way younger and way more active Lomachenko, plus if the fight was close, which it probably will, Lomachenko will get the decision. the powers that be in boxing don't like Rigo and I'm sure they will never give him the benefit of the doubt against Lomachenko.

Hopefully Rigo is making good money this fight because this is probably his last fight at the big stage and I think it's a shame for someone with that kind of talent and ability to leave the sport broke because some promoters and commentators who never fought before talk crap about him all the time.

I predict the "Rigondeaux was robbed" threads are gunna send this place into a meltdown. He'll need to win at least 8 clear rounds in a fight I don't see rounds being clearly won by anyone. Gunna get intense on here.

Someone is going up TWO weight classes higher to make the fight happen
Will Loma do the same thing when its time to fight Mikey?

Lol why do people think Rigondeaux is going to get knocked out by a guy who is not even a real puncher and by puncher I mean a guy who doesn't rely on his power.


Rigondeaux is the type of fighter who could only get K.O'd by someone who will rely on their power to win the fight against him. Guys like Donaire who loaded up on his shots to land a punch that puts Rigo to sleep. Sure he's been clipped (Rigo), but he will never be put out unless someone is a very strong puncher who is also good enough to land that shot. Someone who can get "lucky."

Loma is a technical fighter, he will not go out there to hope to land a punch that puts the smaller Rigo to sleep. He will take whatever is open, which will be slim to nothing. Loma probably won't put any power into any of his punches just to be able to land on Rigodeaux, Loma will not be there to take risks and chances in order to get his work in.

It's going to be a chess match, literally. Two intellectual, technical, high level, high skill, high speed thinking fighters going at it. This fight can very well end up being "boring" by ****** fake boxing fan's standards and ideals.

I stand by the fact NO ONE will beat Rigo in a battle of straight up boxing ability. It's like trying to out-box Floyd Mayweather. You won't beat him by being a pure boxer. No matter how good of a pure boxer you are, he will be the better purer boxer. That's why I think Rigo will win this fight. Lomachenko will not open up and take the necessary risks in order to win the fight. He will look like Pacquiao in there against Mayweather.

Not a chance. Rigo will shut down his work rate and make this a slow chess match. Loma will get countered to death.

It'll be similar to the Doniare/Rigo fight in that Lomanchenko will hit Rigo and Rigo try and immediately answer back with his own hits. I just think Lomanchenko will do a far better job than Nonito in defending and slipping Rigo's counter attacks. Still rooting for Rigo tho

Is that definite? Heard rumours. No point in him going back to 122 after anyway. Go to 126 and chase the duckers
