Something I noticed when I watch Rigo & Crawford is that they possess a certain fluidity that others lack. I watch Loma, and he's got all the flash, but there seems to be something else about the aforementioned fighters that makes their movements and footwork seem more natural, something so smooth about the feints and footwork that makes it seem like they are moving as effortlessly as possible.
I been trying to tell these nikkas loma although skilled, he throws to much wild shyt, jumps in and crosses his feet too much for the high level fighters will waltz him into a bomb, luckily for him it only about 2-3 special fighters in the lower weight class, and his team appears to be positioning away from one of the others in rigo

I think the real reason Loma is calling dude "boring" which is a red flag thats promoter talk is in this vid. PrettyBoy fights at his rhythm and Rigo is VERY good and disrupting a fighters rhythm that's the reason I feel Loma don't want smoke. It would be his first time in there against someone who does what he does better. That and hbo aint letting Rigo fukk up their money 2x.

idk how you can be a fan of boxing and not want to see these two go at it man this shyt is a wet dream for us footwatching ass nerds :to:
Do you know what video these gifs come from?

Too many circumstances there for KKK with Ward, a brother ref allowing Ward to molest KKK all night, then he had the thought of his trainer betraying him, than he ain't get paid shut really, KKK was like fukk it and sat his ass down...Too much to face mentally...he's done now, he never wanted the Stevenson fight anyway

fukk out of here its boxing nikka :hhh:

be the krusher say you gonna end a man career but look for a ref to help you in there when you going up against someone who "punches like a girl" :hhh:

If he is using movement fine you can be like :manny: "this nikka hauling ass and ain't trying to spar :hhh:" but when a guy is right in front of you and you can't touch him which Rigo is a lot and he is hitting you w his left hand whenever he wants to :francis: you can't even leave w a moral victory in your head :dead: just an ass whooping and hopefully you pick up a few things from it :francis:





The skill level this shyt would be fought at :wow:

nikkas would legit be at home w a pen and a pad taking notes :wow:
Bruh if other matches are black belt tests this is the red belt one.

For those of y'all that are too lazy at about 6:11 Rigo gets caught with a shot, and from there on it's :wow:

Props PJ, anyone know of the dude he was sparring?

Edit: I hate to agree with @Skip b , but that section from 6:10-6:45 is the difference between Loma and Rigo. Rigo doesn't drop his hands, doesn't allow himself to get his feet crossed up, and is still throwing real punches while moving.

@Yuzo care to weight in?

Would be nice to see Rigo apply these gym techniques against better opponents in a real match....maybe he should move up to Featherweight:ld:
