Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux set for December 9th on ESPN

[GREENandYELLOW]

Mikey Garcia will be interesting because he's fundamentally sound and has one of the best jabs around imo. I think loma may have fought as high as 140 in the amateurs thojgh Him not completely sure so he will fill up in weight.
Crawford fight would be nuts. I genuinely think him and Loma and probably Errol Spence are the special fighters of this era.

Loma's physique is interesting. 130 and 135 are probably his optimal weight classes. He weighed 129 for the Rigo fight and didn't look drained at all, he probably could make 126 if he wanted. And when you see him next to guys at 140 (solid guys like Garcia and Crawford) he doesn't look small.

Garcia-Loma may be the technical wizardry we were hoping from the Rigo fight where the guys go more toe to toe. Great fight that I hope gets made. Arum is running his mouth about it, he needs to pony up the money and make it.

Mikey and him would probably happen at 140 right ? What would be the timeline for this ? 2019 ?
I think there are a couple of nice fights at 130 and 135 to be made like Vargas and Machado as his weight (I'm a fan of dude cleaning out before going up like Crawford) but also against Tank or Easter at who would have a crazy reach advantage. IMO, he has some work to do before meeting Mikey.

Regarding Crawford, there can only be one truth at 147 Didn't Crawford said in the broadcast that he would beat Spence ? How do you feel about that ?

Crawford-Spence would be crazy. I like both, so I don't know who I would root for and not sure at this moment who I think would win.

Although I don't think Crawford is chinny the way some hype him, he will needs whiskers vs. Spence. Errol has the best power at 147 IMO and Crawford will need a bona-fide chin to hold up. Crawford's mean streak and underrated technical ability is better than Spence's. Spence's body work could slow down Crawford's speed advantage. I call it a toss up fight and arguably my most anticipated fight (outside of Joshua-Wilder) that could be made.

I've had time to sleep on it. I'm not defending Rigondeaux anymore. For years we've given him excuses for his piss-poor performances. For years we supported him when no one in the mainstream would..and that's how he repays his fans. I'm giving Loma allt he credit for the fight BC he didnt have to take this silly ass fight but did anyway.

I'll forever be a fan of the TRUE El Chacal's. Whatever we saw in there last night was just some strange ghost.

He just went up too much in wieght, he’s still great.

I think he would have loss to a contender at that wieght too.

@GREENandYELLOW he looked small in multiple pics I seen that were taken this same day

I like Loma but he did just drag a bigger guy up to fight him... let him fight Mikey please and let's see where his true skill is.

He didn't drag anyone up
He didn't even want the fight cause he thought Rigo was too small and people started calling him a duck. Look at all these interviews after the fight, he's repeatedly downplayed his own win cause of Rigo's size and age
I do wanna see him fight Mikey Garcia, who is a much bigger fighter but at least a somewhat realistic match up.

Smdh now you're reaching brotha. Just becuz I don't pick a fighter to win doesn't mean I'm not a fan of them. You're not making any sense. Ive repeatedly stated I was a fan of Ward and KRUSHER and have always picked them to win except when they fought each other. I recognized it as a 50/50 fight but sides with KRUSHER. It' that simple.

And I never said Loma can't beat Rigo. Stop lying. I always stated the obvious- Rigo's disadvantages (age, activity, weight), Loma's advantages and that although I expect Loma to win, as he was favored to, my heart was rooting for Rigo because pulling off the upset would be been more memorable and meaningful than Loma winning, since he was expected to.

What I'm realizing about you is you only pick the boxers you LIKE to win. You're a fan of certain guys and you ride with them and the boxers you don't like you don't pick to win fights. I on the other hand am more of a fan of the sport itself, so I'm capable of liking two guys subjectively but objectively picking a winner.

But yet, I picked GGG to beat Canelo...so you're lying to yourself.:forreal:


And nobody wearing a Krusher hat & Krusher T Shirt is "objective" about who's gonna win...especially when you are known as a Kovalev Stan:forreal:



You said:

The Rigolution will be televised! Looking forward to watching Rigo come out of obscurity to beat another p4p great and then get banished again!

And now I get to gloat because he came outta obscurity & got out classed so bad, that he quit:forreal:

 

[acbjr22]

does LOMA do VADA testing. His skills are great but his stamina is superhuman. Considering all the movement, pressuring and angles he uses it's amazing that he never gets tired or slows down

 

[Newzz]

the man that had everything in his favor and conceded to nothing won.. Loma him self didn't consider it a big win cause he knows he drug a smaller man up to his weight

But yet when I said it in July:

Y'all know why he won't fight Rigo...it doesn't make business sense yet. He's not ducking him, but it's kind of pointless bc Loma resume is already top notch and he's widely regarded already. Beating Rigo won't mean "Ok, he's the real deal" bc we already know he is already.

Beating Rigo literally brings nothing to the table....not even a belt.

...yall didn't agree

 

[Newzz]

Agreed with the bolded.. I felt the same away. Why people chose to ignore the CLEAR disadvantages Rigo had going into the fight is wierd to me

Cool story bro. Yall aint gonna give Loma his props for beating up Rigo, which means I was right in my initial statement that Rigo does nothing for Lomachenko and it's pointless to fight him



Now, Lomachenko via KO is going to be more sweeter bc I know you shook already

I called it

 

[Newzz]

They doing to him the same thing they said people did to Floyd.
It will be a never ending list of fighters that he has to beat in order to satisfy them. Complete waste of time entertaining those kind of people

Facts only.

Yeah, I do remember Dan Rafael said he saw them together, maybe at this photo shoot and he said they weren't incredibly different.

The Crawford ones are the ones that get me. I would've thought Crawford was bigger than Garcia and Loma didn't look crazy small next to him.

 

[Yuzo]

They all fell for what exactly?

...Even When Rigo said fukk it and started letting his hands go he still couldn't hit Loma because Loma isn't just quick hands...His footwork is just as impressive as his hands and that is a very good combination of athletic gifts to have in boxing...

lomachenko gets clipped with punches. he is not unhittable. he looks unhittable, when the other guy wont throw punches at him. when i see lomachenko beat a guy who showed up to fight that will mean so much more to me than seeing him beat a guy who wont punch back; a guy who doesnt get hit or hurt, but just gives up. that will tell me all what i want to know about lomachenko.

This kid has a point. They did push for the fight and he did what he needed to do. Who knows where he goes from here. With this done..there is still unfinished business to focus on. Like Jeff Horn. Lets see what becomes of him if he faces Crawford and let's see if Canelo does a FULL DUCK of the fan desired rematch. And when is Thurman gonna start showing his face again??

He could have chose to fight Rigo at a catchweight, but refused to do so. nobody forced him to bring up a fighter from 2 divisions below lol.. shyt was basically a just a fantasy matchup for people stuck in 2013 that still believe Rigo is p4p.. they know what it is thats why they downplaying his own win..
