Rigo looks small and old in there. He shouldnt have been so inactive the last few years.

This is looking more like a boxing vs MMA fight than McGregor vs Floyd was. Lomachenko is simply outclassing him and Rigondeaux is holding on for dear life. Hard to believe this is the same fight that was being talked about these past few weeks.

Pretty terrible fight.

Rigo keeps clinching, and just got deducted a point for it, and he also keeps bending down.

Wow. Loma is just on another planet. Probably p4p #1 right now. Duran part 2.

According to your logic, Tim Duncan doesn't deserve any respect.

Sorry Rigo, you actually have to throw a punch in order to break your hand. This wasn’t due to size difference. Loma is simply the better fighter.

Lomachenko is special. Best P4P fighter in my book. Dude's ability to chain punches is just unbelievable and the broadcast did more than enough speaking on his footwork. Nobody is seeing this guy right now.

Loma made a top 5 pound for pound fighter look completely ordinary last night. This is the second time that he's made a world class fighter quit. Ax-Man was considered one of the beasts of his division before he got embarrassed by Loma.

One of the things that I like about Loma is that he learned from his loss to Salido. He wasn't going to allow Rigo to use rough or dirty tactics. I also like the fact that he has a bit of dog in him. He knows he's playing with his opponents and he lets them know it in the ring. He not only picks apart his opponents with his gloves, but he picks them apart psychologically as well.

It's not even a question at this point, he's the best pound for pound fighter in the sport. Even if Rigo was scaled to be the same size as Loma, Loma's skills are vastly superior at this point of their respective careers.

I expected Lomachenko to dominate but not for Rigo to quit. That was very disappointing, he just couldn't handle Loma's speed.

NoMasChenko is what they call him ... This dude is simply a beast ! I have never seen any boxer with his style and technique and footwork it's just a thing of beauty ! Wow. Making 2 world class fighters quit and making them look like amateurs? He is unique. With the way he's going he might as well fight 4-5 times a year.. I think he needs to move up in weight if he hasn't cleaned the division out already. I was going to say he needs his rematch against Salido , but Salido got spanked last night and he says he's retiring . Maybe Mikey Garcia next? I can't get enough of this guy honestly, the way he toys around with his opponents, he's on another planet.

Those triple uppercuts in the 2nd round was just nasty! This guy is the best fighter that I have seen since prime Roy Jones Jr.

Loma has a limit, i doubt he will be dominant in the next weight class against the likes of Mikey Garcia. he's too small and Rigo looked even smaller in there. basically beat someone who was 2 weight classes below him. That's like Mayweather beating up on a featherweight.
