Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Rico's only shot at making a name for himself, he came to England and broke jazzas jaw in the second round and then fought that chucky cunt who spazzed out after a shot thrown after the bell.
It's a shame that rigo isn't better known outside of the average boxing fan.

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Rigo will out box him and land the cleaner punches but the judges will credit Loma for coming forward and missing punches. Loma will win a controversial decision based on aggression and work rate.

No, in this fight I don't really care who wins I just think Rigo is the better Boxer.

Rigo's a fucking cracking boxer, as is Loma, it certainly isn't a fight for the casual fan, it will more than likely be a chess match all the way through.
Loma will be the more aggressive out of the two and I agree with you on that one, that is what will win him the fight.
Also the size advantage swings massively in Lomas favour, I love Rigo and think he's had a hard time of trying to get his name out there, I just can't see anything other than a Loma win.
If it is indeed made then I can't fucking wait for it.

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
So Rigo jumps two divisions to go see Loma. In another thread, this was the least of the fights I wanted to see. Will be a good fight to be sure... but too steep of a hill to climb for Rigo. What'll be interesting to see will be the claims from Loma fans who already place him either # 1 or # 2 on the mythical p4p ranking. There's not a hell of a lot at 130 at the moment, but it'll be interesting to see what happens when and if Loma decides to jump to 135.

I've had a wee drink tonight so my brain may not be firing as it should
are you saying it'll be interesting to see what Loma fans say when he moves up because you think he will get beat? or are you just saying that it'll be interesting to see what they say when he beats a smaller man...or both maybe?
again apologies if it is obvious

It's a bit convoluted, I know. And I haven't even had anything to drink yet.
The first "it'll be interesting" is about how Loma fans will rate him on the p4p after he beats Rigo (I'm putting that as a foregone conclusion).
The 2nd "it'll be interesting" is about how Loma will fare if and when he makes the jump to the rougher waters of 135.

It'll make more sense (or less) when you sober up.

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Beating a guy 2 divisions lower (as good as Rigo is) does nothing for Loma here in my opinion. There's not even a catch weight so all the props should go to Rigo for stepping up (finally). Rigo is up there in age and his chin has a question mark for me, even tho Loma is not a big puncher. Seems to me Rigo is taking the gamble and cashing out while he still can. I would have much preferred Loma to face Garcia at 135.

Robert Garcia said Top Rank is not even considering that right now and that's why they moved up looking for big fights. If it wasn't Rigo it was going to be Salido. For what it's worth Top Rank also said it was either Rigo or Salido

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
I'm good with this fight no matter if Rigo has to move up. It's a solid fight for both of them and Rigo is better than most of the guys that Loma has faced in his career (well he is better than all of them but factoring in weight he may or may not be the best).
I actually think that Rigo gives him a bit of trouble and I think he wins if they weighed the same. I think Loma wins comfortably but not without losing some rounds.

For me Loma had 4 good options, because to me Salido is irrelevant, if Salido gets a good win then fine, consider it. But until then for me it was
Garcia-TR didn't want
Rigo-we are blessed enough to see
Berchelt-who called for it
Davis-who isn't ready
I wouldn't have complained about any of those.

Same size and age I would definitely take Rigo. But giving up really more than 2 weightclasses(Rigo is small at 122 and Loma looked huge in his last fight at 130) and age I think you have to make Loma a solid favorite. But still, the skill in the ring will be remarkable.

Rigo is a much better option than Flanagan but that would have set up some fights at 135 nicely.
Davis seems like he gave up his title to stem the talk of a Loma fight.
Berchelt was definitely deserving.
Not sure Haymon would let Easter fight Loma at this stage.
At least we get 2 amateur legends clashing in the pros. I just wish it happened at 126.
-
Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Berchelt was easily the best option at 130. I think that fight needs to happen before he goes up to 135.
-
Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Here's some perspective on Loma-Rigo.
Rigo's jumping up 2 weight classes to fight Loma. That's the equivalent of Loma jumping up 2 weight classes to fight Crawford. Surely that's not gonna happen in the near future, as it would be suicidal for Loma. At least there would be no age advantage in that one.
All the more reason why Loma should get little to no credit for beating Rigo. Whereas if Rigo pulls it off it's a humongous upset of epic proportions.
-
Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
For a borderline mismatch (Loma beats him if the same size) it's an intriguing, "must watch" for hardcore/nerds. Fantastic name to have on Loma's ledger, better than the Salido revenge that nobody cares about as it's a mere aberration on his record.
Well done to Rigo's manager too, all that trolling on Twitter paid off, it got the fans involved which allowed the money men to gauge popularity and stump up a slice of the budget.

Rigo is going up 2 weights against a very high quality boxer, but when a boxer is as classy as Rigo, these gaps can be closed.
I really haven't got a clue who wins, I'm just happy it's happenin,but if it is Rigo, what will that do for his p4p ranking?

I think the only thing we would find out about that fight is how "shot" and old Salido is.

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Salido looked slow and out of shape in his last fight. The inactivity was not kind to him. I doubt he gets Loma again unless he does something relevant.

It was the equivalent of a rematch between Khan v Prescott. It would have been good but Prescott kept on losing

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
At least Prescott sparked Khan, Salido was struggling towards the end.

Loma v Salido would be an easy and predictable affair at least Rigo brings some intrigue.

I like seeing a good revenge story. Lewis vs Rahman 2 was predictable but I still enjoyed it.

That was required, although Rahman tried to avoid it.

Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Boxing fans are being spoilt this year with this announcement. It's another dream fight like tonight. If I was to pick two fantasy fight it would be ggg vs Canelo and Loma vs rigo
i think the two division jump for rigo is a big ask at his age. It's like asking Ward to move up two weights to fight Joshua. Rigo is at a big disadvantage but he's such a class operator he could still win. We are going to see how good Loma really is in this fight.
If anyone's good nough to catch Loma is rigondeux and vice Versa
Can't wait
-
Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Fantastic fight two of the best Lomo v Rigo a master class of boxing one for the purist for some this fight maybe wasted on them bit like giving a donkey strawberries .
But for myself pure class this one cant wait.:)
-
Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
I love it for the promotion fact and nod to more real fans. Does that sound pompous as shat? Rigos inside timing can be big as Loma has been working mainly off guys trying to track him down. And recently the hands on his hips shaking his can hasn't impressed me much. I don't want to rain on it but Rigo is in fact coming up two divisions for this one right? When it's all said and done have the feeling Loma will bulk and back him too much and score stoppage.
-
Re: Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th
Yea Loma's showboating is starting to grate the nerves a little. This should be an excellent chess match. So many variables to take in account. The weight and age of Rigo are 2 telling factors for me here.
