If you were in Rigo's or Loma's corner, what advice would you give?

[fourtheboys96]

What would be the strategy for either to gain the win??

Rigo-Id tell him to apply pressure and keep Loma going backwards, if he wants to trade I feel it would be to Rigo's advantage as he has the faster hands and more precise punching skills.

If Rigo can actually do that, we wouldn't be calling him boring.

He cannot even press forward against an overmatched opponent in Adrian Francisco etc.

Not much advice anyone can give two guys with the experience and talent of Rigo and Loma...But I would tell Rigo not to let Loma get up on points. To not give away any rounds whatsoever. Same for Loma. Let each fighter do what he does best to stay up on points.

Thing is, Loma isnt going to just follow Rigo around the ring and try to walk him down like a GGG. Loma is more active, yes, but he's not some explosive peice of dynamite like prime Pacman who could just dart in their with his tree trunk legs and unload a 10punch combination. Loma isn't going to overwhelm Rigo like that...he's more technical in his approach...I don't think Loma is going to be able to break down Rigo at any point... he couldn't really break down and KO Garry Russel so what's he going to do with Rigo... At some point Loma might have to throw caution to the wind, especially if the fight seems close.

I also think Rigo is going to be landing the cleaner, more crowd pleasing shots.

Double and triple that ****ing jab. Doesn't matter who's corner I'm in.

[Sir_Didymus]

There's absolutely fùck all you can say to these two technical masters of the game. Let's not pretend otherwise. Best leave them to their craft and genius.

kill him>???????

Neither need advice, just getting that out of the way.

I'd tell Loma to get on Rigo fast, put him on his heels and don't give him time to set traps and think. Overwhelm him with your greater strength and volume punching/combos.

I'd tell Rigo to fight dirty. He's going to have to hurt Loma and give him a reason to step off the gas. I don't think he will have what it takes physically to match up without adding in some dirty work. He can use the occasional dirt to create openings for real punches, get under Loma's skin and get him out of his game. If he can do that, he can start setting traps and doing what he does best.

Loma - don't stand still. keep moving and moving to your right while throwing lead lefts. be the first to get off/land and k e e p m o v i n g

Rigo - use your legs and distance wisely. try not to punch with him and, when you land, move. don't wait for return fire

Loma-Keep moving and turning Rigo and pepper him while moving in and out, hope to hurt him coming in or tire him out by making him work more then we wants to.

Good plan, i agree. I know it is out of his character but id actually advise him to take the initiative and get off first. Rigo must attack and throw with conviction..

If he plays the role of a counter puncher as he usually does, loma is going to outwork and outpoint him, it is too obvious.

I think Daggum was making a parallel from larry's advice to margarito,which was funny because of course he should not do that

this is true and he should do it because it would be entertaining. fighting the exact opposite of how you fought your entire career as a 37 year old man is always the best advice imo. loma should fight the entire fight orthodox too

[RussB23]

Double jab and sit down on the hook.
