    I think Lora was better in a P4P sense, but Rigo probably wins at 122.

    They're the same size, and I think Lora was possibly better suited to 122 than he was 118, but I'd take Rigo. The reach and power would make the difference, as he lets Lora out-work himself and then get gun-shy. He'd have control in the late rounds, but would have a very tough time in the first few rounds. I think this is firmly the level of a BW Rigo was on.

    It isn't inconceivable that Rigo's mental fragility is something Lora could exploit with some over-the-top defensive wizardry and brutal body counters.
