Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux set for December 9th on ESPN

[Perfectson]

You didn't respond at all and show you haven't paid close attention to this board at all. @Newzz and I always give Rigo his props and say he is every bit of top 5 currently in skill. No one is saying he is overrated. We just said, that in comparisons of Rigo vs. Loma people were overrating Rigo and under valuing Loma. Now I didn't think it would be a clear domination like it was, even if Rigo hadn't quit, but I had Loma winning cleanly.

And the subject of Floyd needs to be around his toughness. Dude fought constantly with hurt hands and never looked for a way out and still was a level above his opponents.

Bro stop trying to call Newz in here to fight your battles, Jesus you @ him in every single post. Let the man sleep. You win the poll, congrats you picked the right fighter. Your points that I replied to are nonsensical as I mentioned.

Floyd didn't jump 2 weight classes to take on GGG when he was past his prime

heres one little mistake rigondeaux made that would have made a world of a difference tonight. he kept dropping under lomachenko punches and stood still. when you stand still, you let a fighter, any fighter, get off combinations on you. so when you get under a punch, and you add a step back to it, you take combinations away from him. thats because he cant follow up after you make him miss because youre not there to be hit.

heres roy jones making frankie liles miss, getting under a jab, and then adding a nice little step back so liles cant follow up on it. he does not make him miss the first punch but then stand completely still so liles can get off a combination. such a small thing and it would have made such a difference tonight. would have cut lomachenko's workrate down by a lot. instead of locked into that same pattern for several rounds without being able to break out of it to create one for himself.

Rigo was holding, starting with the chump stuff from the opening bell - completely agree

Loma didn't even outclass him because Rigo didn't fukking try. That's why I'm so disgusted with him. What the hell was he doing leaning over and eating lefts out there and mad about it?

Then he wants to say he was hurt?

Naw. Rigo gotta be better than this as a professional. He did a disservice to everyone involved.

When rigo was ducking and just staying in that position I knew something was off.

Speed, bruh. Rigo couldn't do anything he wanted to do.

Come on now...

Loma is the new golden goose since GGG is old and lost to Danny. I thought it was bad for GGG but this is by far the worst.

Can't wait til Mikey knocks this motherfukker out.

If Floyd just did what Loma did not a nikka in here would be discrediting the performance..When Floyd does it to Robert Guerrero and Berto it's majestic..When Loma does it to Rigo it's basic boxing and nothing special.....y'all nikkas ain't low I see u....

Theres Lomachenko

and then theres TBE :Mayweather:

Some of yall blindly hating lomenchenko tho lol.

 

[R=G]

Shocking ending. I can't say anything bad about Rigo except you should fight till the end for an undefeated record.

 

[Yuzo]

just sitting there throwing free straight lefts all night long while standing still

aint no outclassing in that, that's simply taking free food

thats right.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Yeah this was the vid I was talking about.

Imagine giving GGG credit for beating Brook.

Imagine Brook being '37' and inactive as hell and still giving Golovkin credit.

Couldn't be me.

Especially not when Loma still got Siri problems.

normally I agree with this but what was Brooks rank at the time?

And honestly, Brook put on a better showing than Rigo. Brook kinda exposed GGG to a certain degree that if you the same size and have skills GGG can be beat. Brook just couldn't keep up with the pressure but I didn't have him getting blown out. Jacobs actually won using Brooks blueprint imo.

Rigo was actually being heralded around the forum. Regardless of his age... Age wasn't that big of a factor when nikkas was picking him. Everyone was saying Loma ain't fight nobody.

And Loma embarrassed dude honestly and he embarrassed himself by not throwing then quitting.

I think the relative ease of what happened is the surprise. Like, when Marquez jumped up to fight Floyd, who was coming out of retirement mind you, you had a top 5 P4P at the time get toyed with in the same fashion. JMM didn't have the resume that Rigo though. Something like this should be out of realm of plausibility for Rigo. I think so many people were hoping for the manufacturered stardom of Lomachenko to get brought down to earth by Rigo, the much maligned,dissed underdog was just the man to do it. He had a perceived pedigree to do it. The Bobfather has a great one in Loma. He reduced Rigo to clinching, getting low like Lil Jon and quitting on the stool. One of the most thorough displays of dominance over another person as I've ever seen.

Rigo already knows this though. He's a defensive savant. What we just saw is a man emotionally wrecked from round 1. We saw a man crying without letting out tears.

Loma "is everything they say he is"

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

At the time JMM fought Floyd versus the Rigo of today, I think it is universal that we all herald El Chacal far higher than that JMM.

You know Rigo havin some restless nights, PTSD flashbacks of these motherfukkers.
