Do you think we'll see them looking relatively the same physically ?

No I saw A photo Rigondeaux hitting mitts profile shot , I think it was his left shoulder looked huge, Wonder what kind of diet he is on..

rigo looked a little bulkier than normal from the pad work i saw. standing next 2 each other loma several inches taller than rigo.

Who's the referee ?

This is going to be a good fight, I have hunch Rigo first going to try and blast Lomachenko out of there early. I wonder if Loma cut healed from his last fight? Also I don't recall seeing Loma fight another south paw this is going to be interesting...

They'll let cuts go to a certain extent I would have thought.

It's a P4P Ranking fight.

Loma Currently a 3 to 1 betting favorite...that means the free market definitely thinks Rigo has a shot..

Live out here.

Have a friend who's a photographer and he got a picture yesterday with Lomachenko, Rigodeaux and Crawford together. Rigondeaux looks quite a bit smaller and Lomachenko and Crawford looked closer to the same size.

Loma is only taller than Rigo, while Rigo has wider shoulders and reach. The two are nearly the same size.

am i seeing the right pic?loma and craw dont at all look closer in size.and craw has much longer reach than loma but loma doesnt have longer reach than rigo.

This fight is going to be a real nice chapter in Lomachenko's narrative win lose or draw ...will take Loma one step closer to PPV land..

I thought weight would be an issue, but people have been overstating Rigondeaux being small. A small fighter would look chubby if he moved up, i.e. Josesito Lopez vs. Canelo. Rigondeaux looked like a damn tank. He has a longer reach than Lomachenko too.

Lomachenko definitely bigger.
Can see the weight around Rigondeaux's stomach, he looks wider.

Tank is the right word. Rigo looks like a little tank, I could see him KO'ing Loma, not probable , but could see it happening, Rigo is desperate as he is getting old and needs some big paydays, and motiviated because he thinks he has been dissed by boxing.. so this great fighter will be motivated and focused. His big problem is that Rigo doesn't have much of chin and Loma can find him, so most likely Loma will win.

Forget about the height and reach comparison, the biggest statistic to me is age. 37.....man, i never realized Rigo was THAT freaking old. And you know, he's most likely older than that because the Cuban's are notorious for mucking up ages of their athletes.

Nah, I don't see any way Loma loses this one now. I love all underdogs but this one might be quick and fizzle out.

Even more than his age is the fact that he has only boxed 3 rounds in the last 3 years. I still hope he wins.

They just weighed in again..

Loma is 137.4 and Rigo is 130..

A fair amount of weight in lower weight classes.

| think the thing which is most against Rigondeaux is his economical style, it's likely to cost him the fight if it is anywhere near close.

Really changes the vibe of a staredown to have the hot chicks inches away from the fighters.

There are rumours abound that Rigo is a year or two older than his listed age. A bit like Ortiz, can't be proven, but some things going back to both's amateur career don't add up
