Just realized this will be on ESPN? That is awesome
Freddie gets on his high horse about some funny stuff. Lomachenkos showboating wasn't that bad. And how is it at all relevant to fighting Rigo, he's not going to showboat with Rigo. Lomachenko is the consummate professional. He's not going to ass around with the toughest test of his career now is he?Freddie used to train Rigo. He said that he wishes he still had him. It wasn't until after Loma's last fight that Roach was in attendance that he decided to pick Rigo to win. He was disgusted by Loma's showboating is why and he said that he couldn't play with Rigo like that. Well, that's terrible logic to make a pick considering Loma doesn't need to play with an opponent to win in dominant fashion. Freddie's right that no one can play with Rigo though.

Loma misses a lot but gets the UD via agression, activity and outmuscling Rigo. I can see Rigo hitting the canvas at some point.
He's moving up 2 weight classes, he's not going to carry any power up there.The question is what if Loma gets caught clean on the chin? Rigo packs a punch for his size and has defense slick enough to catch Loma open, and Loma is still very much untested at the pro level. Everyone picking Loma is just playing the odds IMO. This is a strange one to predict.

The level of skill on display will be amazing even though I expect a fairly boring fight. But honestly, I don't care! I rather see two F1 cars in practice than two red necks bumper to bumper in Nascar.
