Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux Fight Now Inches Away From Reality

[crusader]

Fight is in December though. It's not your typical late notice TBA situation....

Loma needs to step back up after his last fight.

It won't happen though. IMO Rigo is a big hype job based off his win over Donaire. You take that away then what is he?

Just your run of the mill world-class talent, I suppose.

As far as his level of opponents, he really is the level of Gamboa.

We'll see

So how will you rate Loma if he proves you wrong again and beats Rigo? Was it that hard of a question?

I think some people do overrate him, but you seem so rattled by their opinions that you're going just as far the other way, and are unwilling to change your view of him even when he wins fights you picked him to lose (like 'Walters in 5'). You're no better than the ones responsible for the excessive hype, and you are just deeming him to be worse than he is instead of better than he is.

No blame Teddy Atlas for my feelings on Loma

Loma is one of the biggest hype jobs the last 40 years I really hope and believe Rigo kicks his ass

Yep just like the guy that's 9-1

He's good, no doubt, but just so happens he's a defense fighter. Just because you're a defense first fighter doesn't necessarily mean you have excellent defense. He's shown to be hurtable.
