Wasnt aware that Rigo was getting the raw end of the deal in terms of money, even with him willing to go to 126. And I completely agree that Lomos offensive style does play into Rigos countersyle approach, but Lomos style is unlike anything I've ever seen, his punch angles and footwork are something you can't prepare for as it's one of kind. Not to say Rigos isnt, his footwork is absolutely spectacular, and he undoubtably has the edge in headmovement, if only for the fact that his style calls for it more. But i do agree, and always did lean towards the fight being less action packed and more of chess match. So if the fight does take that approach, Rigo has the edge. But Lomos footwork and angles will make avoiding and countering his punches very difficult. Lomo doesnt throw punches and sit still, he is constantly moving, so if Rigo doesnt learn to time him, or anticipate his movement after lomo throws, then he will have problems.

But yeah, with that said, Lomo has a tendency to throw and move to his right (as you stated), something he did throughout the Sosa and/or walters fight (need to rewatch them to be sure), so if he thinks that he can pull that off more than once again rigo without rigo countering him, then he's in trouble..


Honestly, the more i think about it, the more I'm starting to agree with you giving the edge to Rigo, for the points mentioned above.. But i'd still never touch this fight betting wise.

Loving this discussion by the way. Not often i get a chance to talk to people who are familiar with the sport to this degree.
