Lomachenko vs Rigendeux MSG 9/12 ESPN

If that's the case I really see very little chance of Rigo winning.

 

I have seen nothing wrong with Lomachenko's chin in any of the fights I have seen. Although It rarely ever gets tested.

I think we can all agree that Lomachenko will hurt Rigo when he lands, he will be landing more than any of Rigo's other opponents ever did.

 

agreed.


This one might be better on paper than in actuality.

 

To Be Fair, Lomachenko's Only Faced 1 Puncher, as a Pro, Who Failed to Bring his HEART w/Him to the Ring, That Night...Not Lomachenko's Fault, but it IS What it Is...

Beyond That, Lomachenko's Never Faced a Man as ACCURATE as Rigondeaux...

You're Acting as if You KNOW What's Going to Happen When Rigondeaux Inevitably Lands, but Truthfully, NONE of Us Knows...

Rigo's punches won't be shit at 130

 

Hearns carried his power up from 147 to 175

 

Easy for YOU to Say, Since You Won't Be the Motherfucker Getting HIT...

Lomachenko May Very Well LAUGH @ Rigondeaux's Shots, but as REED Types, Nobody KNOWS That w/ANY Degree of Certainty...

yeah , but hearns was a tall tall WW. Rigo is a small ass jr fw

 

Lomachenko looks strong at 140 lbs. In the ring. Rigondeaux is a small 122lber who always seems outweighed and outsized at that division. I'd be extremely surprised if his power deters lomachenko

 

Hearns is over 6 feet tall. .

 

I tend to agree. He can crack, no doubt, but he really is one little dude and that power will only carry so far. I don't think it will bother Lomachenko much at all.

 

So shorter guys never carried their power up with them?

 

Not saying that. But hearns is an obvious outlier here - a huge welterweight and one of the hardest punchers in history there. Indeed, his ability to carry his power all the way to 175 is one of his most outstanding qualities and is clearly exceptional.

 

I agree with all of that. I'm just saying that we can't automatically assume that Rigo wont carry his power up with him.

 

Ok. I agree there is a chance Rigo could carry his power up, but it is very unlikely.

 

Erik Morales, a bigger rangier guy, lost power moving up to 126.

 

He wasn't quite the vicious puncher he was at 122, but he still had power at 126. He stopped most of his opponents there, and even 1 punch KO'd Espadas at 130.
