Loma vs Rigo finalized Dec 9th

[Master]

I think you’re going to be upset if you’re rooting for Rigo as I expect Loma to billy and taunt him. Rigo skills will mean he won’t get a beating but he’ll lose Wide I reckon

I think that would be a moral victory for Rigo. I would take that.

Fuck Moral victories and accepting defeat. Rigo will fancy it. I could be way off here, but I don't see Rigo being a lamb to the slaughter here.
He is very highly skilled and awkward and a great counter puncher. I think he may give Loma (who I think is fantastic btw) a lot to think about and could even make him look a bit silly.
Also , until I see them stood face to face, I'm not overly convinced about this "massive size difference."
Rigo has a reach advantage.
I'm not 100% convinced Rigo will win, but it wouldn't desperately surprise me. I find the fight intriguing and am looking forward to it.
Like I said, I could be way off beam on this one.

The way that Rigo (or one of his team) talk on twitter, they are confident.

People that Rigo has fought that probably belong in Featherweight are Garcia, Teon Kennedy, Jazza Dickens
Rigo either couldn't put them away quickly or at all, so he's go to be looking at dancing for twelve and counterpunching, not letting himself be caught on the ropes or in corners
Bodyshots and headshots from distance, but Rigo is good on the inside as well

Rigo doesn't telegraph punches as much as others, i.e. the glove moves from its position instead of a backward movement first.

Loma has to be discouraged quickly, otherwise as you say, he'll just march forward for 12 rounds moving from side to side swarming Rigo, cutting him down.

You are right, Rigo has no "tell" with his punches and that is why he beats most of his opponents. Donnaire had no clue how to handle him.

Great to see it's sold out. The closer the fight gets the more excited I am for this one.

This is a fantastic fight two master boxers a true fight for the purist Rigo is brilliant but he is 36 and a bit on the small side
in this fight Lomo is at the top of his game bigger and younger I favour Lomo cant wait.
