I am a Loma fan from Ukraine, thanks man for not pushing that conspiracy or racist theme...its just a boxing.

Haven't seen a gifted and athletic freak fighter like this since Roy Jones Jr.

Need more colorblind you tubers like you man. I’m about to make a KZfaq channel later this week to help contribute to the non-racial boxing content. I love that you pointed out that his dad keeps him himble and took the crown off his head after his conditioning coach put it on. Nice attention to detail man.

People don't understand why boxers quit against Loma but until you've been in the ring with someone who completely dominates you in that fashion you'll never understand. What Loma does his opponents is borderline torture. It's easier to stay in a fight until someone KOs you or until the Ref stops the fight but Loma never finishes his opponents. He never puts them out of their misery. He just slaps his opponents around at will leaving them feeling like their is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. He KOs his opponents psychologically. This dude literally got reflexes like a cat. Yall really don't understand. But, It would take an ambidextrous fighter like Terrence Crawford to even have a chance against Loma. That's just real shit.

Fantastic analysis, finally someone being fair to both fighters not making excuses.

Loma is better than what I thought

Excellent vid!! No bias, no bullshit, no smack.... Just a fair, concise, level perspective. Thank You Sir

Very dissapointed in Rigo... He got owned and wanted no more of it. You are spot on with your analysis of this fight, before and after.

I knew loma would give rigo trouble with shear volume.....but I never expected Rigo to just out right quit!

Weight was not a factor.

You seem like a cool and collected guy just disappointed in how a professional acted tonight. I like how you make your points without raging and excuse making, but yet you sense the passion for the sport. Subscribed.

I don't usually subscribe to boxing chanels because of all of the BS, racism, Favoritism, and bias that I see in them. Wish i would see more chanels like yours. Thanks bro.. You just earned a new subscriber

Great video bro. Still feel bad for Rigo lol but Loma is genuinely that dude!

Rigo fan first of all. Getting knocked out is a involuntary act. Quitting is a 100% acceptance of failure. Rigo never should have taken the fight. Time off, weight, size, youth... too much. Loma is legit. Nice assessment guy!!

Loma has crushed him as promised

You're one of the best when it comes to covering boxing. Fair, balanced and unbiased analysis, along with calling out all the race war crap in your other video, which is usually a big part of comment sections. As for the fight, great performance by Loma, though I was shocked and disappointed Rigo quit like that, in the biggest fight of his career no less.

I don't think size had anything to do with it. Even if Rigo was the same size and age as Lomachenko, he would still get outboxed. Lomachenko is the more skilled fighter, end of story. Also BoxingWave, a lot of boxing fans on here are tribal, irrational, emotionally invested in fighters.

Best analysis I've heard so far- especially regarding the ducking down Rigo was doing.

Man I always enjoy your non biased videos man respect. I'm very disappointed in rigo man I from the hugging to the quitting. However what I'm annoyed about is everyone is getting emotional and saying outlandish shit. Look I loved rigo but weight wasn't the issue man just all skill. I find it funny tho how noone is giving rigo shit like they did Walters keep it consistent.

Boxing Wave ...I congratulate you for your honesty..... btw. Loma faced Sallido in his only 2nd professional fight. in 1st round Loma was deciphering Rigo out. Rest is history. Respect.

Spot on, Boxing wave. Comments are all on point. Keep it up, my friend.

I never thought rigo would quit😞

Yea the deck was all the way stacked but he tried we believed life goes on. Much respect to both. Both will go down as great boxers. Excited to see loma in some great fights

You just became my favourite KZfaq commenter. I can't believe people let emotions cloud what their eyes tell them

Rigo just made sure he avoided a protracted and prolonged ass whooping. The beginning of it was there. After lomancheko closed and blocked the escape routes Rigo knew the knockout was in the offing.

Your point about being overly invested emotionally spoils your ability to just appreciate someones talent. I remember being over invested in Kovalev and actually getting angry that Ward out boxed him and out "pro"d him with the rough stuff. EVen though I don;t like Ward''s tyle I realize his boxing is superior - and I always appreciated what a fine man Ward is and a credit to boxing. I just could not admit to myself Ward is the better boxer and the better man. We need to forget race and nationality and appreciate the talent. GREAT VID!

Never landed a punch, not one clean shot. It really surprised me, not the loss but I thought at least Rigo would be catching him with some counters or on the way out but just out classed in every department.

I'm glad somebody brought up the point that tonight Rigondeaux stooped so much that it was impossible for Lomachenko to land a clean shot without hitting the back of the head. That was not a display of great defence.

I like the way you pointed out when somebody has put a crown on Lomachenko's head and his father immediately took it off. He has done such a good job to keep him down to earth. I do feel sorry for Rigo though, but as you said in your very first video, it was a mismatch. Lomachenko is out of this world.

Irish boxer here, I enjoy listening. Merry Christmas from Ireland. I'm not a bum Conor fan btw. Many blessings.

You're absolutely right. I saw the same thing! That - 2- round I saw Rig wasn't there after that rd. He was just holding on. Period !!!! As a boxing fan, he let us all down.....

Great video and agree 100%! Age not so much weight was the big factor imo. 242-12 is the combined record of the fighters Loma fought since he lost to Salido. 4 were world champions when he fought them. This is his last 9 fights and he only has 11 as of now. That said Crawford is p4p #1 Loma has to be #2

i had no idea what was going to happen. lomanchenko fucking owned him. he figured out what no one else could in less than a round. you can't deny that he moves better than any fighter in boxing.

Rigo plays safe in this fight and collect his purse by just quitting to save also his face for a KO - Donaire is no quitter even he is losing the fight

Listen, u called this fight months before it was signed and was 100% right, mad props for that. Guys gotta wake up and stop the emotional bs. Loma is for real period.

Everybody needs to give rigo respect. - 37 years old - moved up 2+ weight classes to face the pound for pound king. - had been in-active - was wayyyyy smaller than Loma. - Broken Hand 2nd round. [thats the word, or fracture] ~ -how it ended was messed up, but give him credit. Loma is my fav fighter, but i was cheering rigo to break his jaw lol. [loma would still be fine if he lost to rigo. im not sure rigo can or will come back from this loss.] Personally, I want to see rigo fight someone his size before he retires. #Boxing #LomaRigo

Fight was always going to go this way. Honestly, Rigondeaux is hard to make a star as while he is very skilled, it's a one-dimensional skill of defense that then relies mostly on a straight, uppercut or hook left hand. He makes for a lot of technically interesting fights, but quite dull ones too because of it.

He shoved walters to the canvass, bounced marriaga around the ring and tag him with body shots that caused him to struggle breathing and thus quit in his stool. Loma did not throw body punches against rigo and none of the bullying tactics he used against walters and marriaga. He went in the ring and basically gave rigo a message that I will outbox, school, frustrate and make you quit in your stool.

I'm glad I found your channel man. Your analysis and predictions are always so grounded and end up being spot on. You analyze things that nobody else does like giving Salido credit for his performance against Loma. You helped me predict this fight correctly despite emotionally leaning towards Rigo. I think Donaire had more potiental though but I feel his heart wasn't in it and that's why he just sort've collapsed.. It's a shame what happened to him.

Лома - продемонстрировал шикарный уровень бокса 👊. ✋ из города ХАРЬКОВ.

I read the written post fight Interview of Arum and now he targets Linares and Mikey Garcia at 135 in 2018 for Loma.

Totally disappointed that Rigo QUIT! I expected him to go out on his shield

lomachenko👑 is number one💯👌💪💪💪💪💪

I agree with you 100. Too many people where invested on the pigment of Rigo but did not realize that Loma is actually really good. I really was hoping Rigo to win for Cuba. The problem is the odds where not in Rigo's favor.

I was pissed too. Not that he necessarily quit but that he didn’t even try to box. He wanted to cheat his way to some bullshit victory; holding Loma’s head, hitting low, trying to head butt, constantly holding and bending below his opponents waist. It was worse than Walters, much worse.

I also noticed they tried to put the crown on Lomo's head, his dad snacthed that shit right off! LOL!

On your comment about Lomachenko hitting him after the bell. I would ask that you look at them on the ropes tangled together 3 seconds before the bell rings. Watch closely & you'll see Rigo throw a backwards elbow into the back of Lomachenko. Lomachenko then responds with a punch to Rigo's face after the bell. I initially missed it, but when they showed the replay you can clearly see Rigo throw a backwards elbow that lands squarely in Lomachenko's back. & it's then that Lomachenko punches Rigo in the head after the bell.

Preach brother! Loma deserves all the praise. No excuses.

I’m still in shock....Yep, you called it. I thought Loma would win by UD but Rigo quitting?? Shocked...

Finally, someone who thinks logically and is unbiased. Sub'd

Rigo ain't never been a top fighter he's one dimension not close too enough

You're awesome man. Subscribed.

Dude thanks for great analysis.....no reference or allusions to race or politics.....just what took place, the facts....love it....

Awesome non biased video Props my brother!

Great Video bro, 100% real.

no denying loma anymore. only way people can deny him now is if he fights mikey, and comparing him to mayweather. crawford is officially a 147 fighter before loma becomes a 135er so no need to bring him in topic for loma either. thats completely unrealistic. about as realistic as ward vs joshua

I used to get emotionally invested with this boxers I liked, but it’s not worth my energy to do so nowadays. Anyhow, good insights on the Loma vs. Rigo fight.

It is a little disconcerting that almost all boxers and commentators thought this would be a fight too close to call but most gave the nod to Rigo. And after the fight these people are saying Rigo was too old and small for this to be a good fight, and shouldn't have been made... Great commentary keep up the good work...

Good video, brutha! Kept it real, kept it humble! Respects for that!!

I love lomachenko

I took into consideration both fighters qualities And I made my predictions are for that. But I never took into consideration that regal wasn’t going to be his usual self

Best BOXING CHANNEL BY FAR! Don't let emotions dictate his picks!

Great video man. Glad you are honest and logical. Not too much channels like that these days.

Very fair and true analysis...fact is Lomachenko was about to turn up the heat on his ass and he knew it was coming and didn't want to face it so he quit. Rigo is just not in the same class as Loma but right now who is? Mikey Garcia? Possibly but doubt it. Terrance Crawford is the only fighter I can think of in his class and obviously that fight is never going to happen. When a fighter just quits he lets everyone down

I like you analysis. I also like that people said Lomachenko was ducking Rigondeaux a year ago, and now when the fight has happened they wont give Loma any credit. That is just wrong on so many levels!.. Its like not giving Floyd credit for his victory against Pacquiao.

Disappointed Rigo quit and big up to Loma. Rigo is still one of the best to do it and I'm still a fan. Great show by Loma, would love to see him fight Mikey

Honest and good assessment and you earned yourself a new subscriber because of it. One quick point, while I agree with you that Rigo is limited, especially when compared to Loma, what Rigo can do he can do at such a high level of expertise that he was a P4P fighter because of it. Can't take that away from him. What happened in the fight with Loma was that Loma is as special compared to Rigo as Rigo is as special compared to Nonito. Meaning, Loma had too wide a gap for Rigo's special skills to bridge.

Couldn't agree with you more. Rigo spent most of the fight throwing a jab and then stepping back, or duck down and eat punches. He never threw combinations, it was almost like he was stuck in the first round feel out mode as Loma turned up the heat. First video of yours I seen, I'll start following.

Tank wont fight him. Bring on Easter jr

I agree w you bro,Bob Aaron s the winner

Just another example of why when it comes to boxing analysis and breakdowns, Boxing Wave is the best KZfaq channel. Always fair, unbiased and gives props to ALL fighters. You have to throw out emotions when you pick fights, otherwise you look foolish, even if your pick is correct

I picked Lomachenko as well, but I admire your pick more for a couple reasons. I don't want to elaborate on those reasons (I fear being misunderstood), but I assure you that if I did it would only be for the purpose of praising your prediction even more.

At this point, id rather see russel vs loma 2, or siledo vs loma 2. Its going to be a while before someone beats this kid. And you right about how his father calmed him down!

Nice analysis. I was thinking the only way for rigo to do it was to land the left clean and hard. And he didnt. Rigo is my favourite fighter. I think prime for prime, things would be different. But now, loma is the dude.

I'll pick rigondeaux because I thought he will never quit, rigondeaux was not even hurt and he quit I was wrong, no excuse he lost, a boxer should never quit rigondeaux did even let his hands go the injury shit bs

Thank you brother!!! Great analysis!!

This is the first of your videos I see. I just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work!

Good summary, Boxing Wave. I thought it could end this way for Rigo but it still surprised me. Loma said he'd go to 35 after rematching Salido but Salido lost and retired so I guess Loma is going to 135 and maybe take on Mikey.

1st round was very close I could have went either way but a draw is good choice.

RIGO always had this heir about him ,almost like a regal figure and to see him get lil boy'ed like that was astounding. But it was apparent rigo was trying to salvage dignity

"I can't even say it's good defense. All he did was ducking" Yea that's Ward too.

GREAT VIDEO

Rigo did not get paid because he does not put people in the seats and that's it, nothing more then that. Loma has a fighting style I never seen before, there is no one now or from the past that fights like him period.

Wow mate, what a great assessment of the fight...Just subbing your channel...

I humbly disagree on a few points: Every time Lomo landed a clean shot Rigo was shocked by the power. Look at the time Rigo was holding Lomo, but then Lomo freed his hands and hit him with a two piece. Rigo got stanky legged on those shots. It was the hand that was hurt in the 2nd round, it was the 2nd round adjustment made by Lomo that couldn't be answered by Rigo. Rigo wanted to counter and he's accustomed to certain shots and Lomo didn't give him the counter left or counter right hook. You can't give up 10 plus pounds plus Lomo's skill set and expect to win. Rigo had to be perfect and he had to box which he didn't do. You think you can stand in the pocket and just use head movement and win against an elitely skilled fighter?

to much racism and hate and not enough respect for skill and hardwork.. lomachenkos dad is great influence and loma should stay humble

Hey Brother! You're an honest man, and i love you. Thank you.

I didn't notice his father did that. I like your attitude, very logical breakdown. I didn't understand the ducking and just staying ducked. Now I understand the holding, IF his hand was broken..but it did look like he was getting frustrated and desperate from Loma's pressure

Subbed for the honesty!!!

You said it I give you that

Having said that there was nothing wrong with gesture of sportsmanship on Rigo's part at the end!

loving how reasonable you are... that's rare on the interwebs

Good video, man. You broke it down perfectly.

Wow best post fight review out there definitely good job bro

The man's name is pronounced Rigondo. But Americans stay butchering his name and call the little dude Rigondawe, some call him Rigondiao kind of like Pacquiao. Stop it can't y'all pronounce the word Plateau or faux or beau. Those are all french words that y'all pronounce correctly it's the same thing with the quitter's name that's a french name and I think he has distant Haitian ancestry because a lot of Haitians were travelling to Cuba in the early 1900s to work in sugar cane plantations there.

What a great video my friend!!!

Perfect and correct analysis. The sport of boxing is the embodiment of bravery so seen a A+ fighter like Rigondeaux quit is not only bad for him as a boxer but bad for the own sport. I like Rigondeaux clich at the first two rounds when he was able to read Loma lateral movement and used to stop it. After that loma start pivot in-site the tigh pocket, going in and out and reset. Its a shame because i wanted to see Rigo fighting for his life in berserker mode at the 10-11th round like in the Kamagai fight (which he was winning but decide to finish)

It’s not Loma”s fault that Loma accepted the fight. He said that he was too big for Rigo but when Rigo keep calling him on Twitter, I am going to do this and that to you, Loma had to respond. However Rigo partly deserves some empathy.He defected from Cuba, left his wife and kids there and he is not welcome anymore there. He sold his gold medals so he could feed his family in Cuba. Those are difficult circumstances for anyone to overcome. He was very dominate in the other fights previously and when he realized that he could not compete with Loma, I guess that at his age he didn’t want to take a risk .It can happen to anyone .it’s a human reaction in a split second. Many people are not well-organized thought their boxing career. Now, probably he will lose his agency, and can not retire on $400000.I wish him luck .

Yeah it's one thing to lose but to quit!......he just threw his Olympic status his whole career in the trash!especially his whole story leaving Cuba n his family!for what?to get to the top n quit!what a disappointing way to go out man!bs!

Rigo got owned
