Honestly I think Rigo quit cuz of the fact has never been outclassed in that way

Rigondeaux the only fighter that can break his hands while punching air.

This fight also shows how adaptable Lomachenko really is when it comes to boxing.

Rigo must be the most technical AND strong boxer on the planet, to damage his hand while punching the air! Respect!

i believe for many fighters being beaten to a pulp is actually more acceptable than being totally schooled, outclassed and humiliated with no answer. this is what hurts a mans egos the mosts.

Before the fight: "Loma hasn't fought anybody until he fights Rigo." "Rigo gonna expose Loma." "Rigo gonna knock out Loma." "Loma never fought a fighter with Rigo's skills." After the fight: "Loma has to fight Crawford to prove he is legit." "Rigo too small, too old." "Loma is too big, Rigo had to go up 2 weight classes." "Rigo is still the better-skilled defensive boxer, he just hurt his hand." Amazing how narratives change when you're salty as F.

Man, Loma is making these guys quit... not because of damage they're taking, but because he frustrates them with otherworldy skill. They realize about 3 rounds in that the man is 5 levels above them and there is absolutely nothing they can do to hit him and not get hit by him. To make a 2-time Olympic champion, undefeated P4Per, one of the best fighters ever below featherweight just quit in the middle of the fight... Unreal. Dude is on another plane, just in a league of his own.

Your analysis showed me a few things I didn't see in the fight. Thanks!

Lomachenko is the most entertaining boxer to watch since Tyson. He does with footwork what Iron Mike did with power.

Every one's talking about Loma's offense but it wasn't his offense that made rigo quit. It was his defense. Loma didn't really hurt rigo. It was the fact that rigo couldn't touch lomachenko that made him quit. Loma didn't really hurt rigo but he was getting some touches but rigo couldn't touch loma at all and that's what frustrated him and made him quit. Thus far, Lomachenko is looking like a total package boxer. Elite offense and defense.

Actually if you watch the fight again you can see exactly where rigo hurt his hand. When he did a wide left, Loma moved out of the way so fast that there was 2 of them. No rigo didn't hit the real Loma but the ora of Loma, which looks like air.

Rigondeaux broke his hand with that low blow to Lomachenko's nutz!

Lomachenko's physical stamina is outstanding being able to keep the same pressure round after round.

Nice breakdown man!! In the audio breakdown you were emotional but did your best to remain calm and reasonable and I think that's the true way of martial art. Your breakdowns are always concise and have depth. Love this channel

Andre bishop didn't quit after breaking his hand.

When Floyd fought Emanuel Augustus he adjusted.This fight showed the difference between good fighter's and the greatest

Lomachenko is not just special he is greatness personified. I truly believe he the best ever.

I love coming back to this video. This breakdown is amazing. Thanks

Man, that was a nice analyzis, very accurate and thoughtful, thank you! Crowd's asking for more)

*That's quite an AWESOME* use of the *"Elusive Lead"* fighting concept by Lomachenko from Bruce Lee's *Jeet Kune Do.*

Understandable that he quit ?? Rigo didnt really take any big punches, he just has no heart

brilliant breakdown once again, many thanks.

always great to watch your fight analysis...

Well since we're on the subject of broken rhythm, can you make vid on how Roy Jones Jr used broken rhythm to set up his punches. He was very good at that in his prime

It’s a shame because rigo legacy will be remembered by this fight. Prime 122 rigo was still an incredible fighter, and shouldn’t be forgotten

The Modern Martial Artist MAN!! I really REALLY appreciate the breakdown you did! you are the best at what you do!!

Great Breakdown, awesome upload. thanks!

He's a genius.

Gatti vs. Ward is what heart is all about. I would respect Rigo more getting knocked out than quitting.

Observational skill levels are outstanding on this channel. Some are personally noticed but, with Vasyl Lemochenko, nothing could be highlighted to his abilities until watching this video. Very, very much appreciated and many, many thanks. From a new subscriber.

Love the analysis awesome job my man!

As a non cuban living in Miami I can tell you guys that the majority of the cuban community here is very angry and disappointed with Rigo. But mostly angry.

Loma not only gave Rigo a physical beating but also a mental one as well.

Great great vid Bruh!! Just subbed 👍 you were perfect in your analysis .well said👏🏻👏🏻

Love your channel mate! Happy holidays from Australia 🙂

Lomachenko and Rigo are both top level chessmasters of boxing. Both men realized that one was consistently 2-3 moves ahead. Both men realized that the conclusion was inevitable. Loma is a more active fighter who can both score points and put serious pressure on his opponent. His footwork is better, his speed is equivalent, and his handspeed is better. Even if Rigo was just as young and naturally large as Loma, he still most likely loses. Rigo's style is not designed to counter high volume, high talent fighters. It wouldn't ever work against Loma. The only hope Rigo has was a random left hand, something he knew was never going to happen. NO MAS Mikey Garcia is the next one on my list for Loma.

Lomencheko doesn’t just flight he enters a chess match and makes the opponent do what he wants them to do, there is no adjustments to me be made, there is nothing the corner can say. If the opponent doesn’t come into the fight ready to play chess and out smarts lomencheko (which I can’t name a fighter who could) then it’s over. He will pick them apart and make them do what he wants them to do. There’s not another boxer today like him. He is changing boxing and how to win fights, unless someone can get extremely lucky off a unorthodox swing (and he can take a punch) I don’t see anyone beating him. The only chance of losing he has is himself, if he pulls a Tyson and becomes too confident in himself and loses his drive to train then that’s the only way I see him losing ever, which doesn’t seem his character. Right now I would bet he could take anyone in the 135 range and dare I say 140 because he’s that good. Even though he made this fight look as easy as he did, the fight was not promoted the way it should have been. This should has been his hardest test when he made it look easy once again. He is the next Ali, and even tho he isn’t the type to talk shit and promote the fight like Ali did( I love that he is a somewhat humble fighter) but at the end of the day he needs to sell tickets he needs to show the general public how far ahead he is to everyone who fights him! Not only for his career but for the future of boxing. He is the one (Neo) the one to change the game and bring back coxing to its glory, because boxing is (the way he does it) a game of intellect and he shows the world that!

Excellent breakdown, sir. Thumbs up!

Excellent. It's so hard on one's own to see how a boxer does what he does. Thanks for a great site

*NoMasChenko* Is The Best Boxer In The World 👏👏👏

Rigo showed no heart, low ring iq, and little understanding of his opponent. Crippling flaws.

Best review ever. You got yourself a new subscriber!

Great video dude, really good commentary.

GOAT!....nothing else needs to be said. When he did this to Walters...ending a 27-0 record I was in disbelief...making Rigo QUIT was never, EVER in my train of thought...what a fighter!

good video bro👌

Great video , keep up the great channel!

Awesome love it thanks for another great breakdown 💪🏿🥊

Loma's combination of angle mastery, distance control, flawless footwork, and incredible fight IQ are truly unique. I know that in my lifetime I have not seen a fighter like him.

Although loma pretty much outclassed rigo, at least he’s getting names to improve his resume

This KZfaq channel has all the goods. Love it.

Great breakdown! I’ve not come across your channel until now but I’ll definitely follow.

I hate boxing for being boring to me, but Loma is just that 1 boxer who makes you go into the screen to not miss any second of his movement. Everyone is angry on Rigo, but give him a break guys...he couldn't fight, he did a tactical withdraw. I would probably try to fight and lose with points, but his style was so bad against Loma that he probably couldn't have lasted till the end

I thought hugging and holding Loma's arms was a tactic to frustrate Loma. You could see Loma getting annoyed when Rigo kept holding his arms. Rigo is a great boxer, but he just couldn't keep Loma's pace and didnt even land one solid shot. I dont get when he hurt his hand....

superb analysis - you've earned a new sub

Awesome analysis. My congratulations to you.

In gonna put it plain and simple Lomachenko kicked Rigo's ass and I was going for Rigo but I gotta admit that Lomachenko is the goods.

Rigo never flinched or winced when his corner was jerking his left glove off or grabbing the "injured" hand. If his hand was really so injured that he couldn't continue fighting, he would have at least winced when they jerked it around or tried to protect it in some way.

Thanks for a video with great analysis.

Great breakdown. Thank you. Lomachenko remains for me boxing's most exciting fighter today to watch.

Brilliant break down learnt a lot

Rigo fans gone into hiding lol

Another superb analysis!!

Great analysis, loved it.

Loma is a boxing genius. It's so cool to witness him, his movement just made me laugh out loud

The problem seemed to be how Rigo reacted to Loma's feints & probes. Through Loma's faints & probes he was able to not only close the gap, to get Rigo into poor positions and lose control of the space between then. And with Rigo's only bending over, his weight seemed only on his back foot which didnt allow him to pivot away, which left him a sitting duck.

Your videos are great man !!!!

Great video and analysis of a boxer who is "Next level "🖒

Rigo barely used his right hand, it seems that he has only one arm Loma now 4 Olympic gold medals 😀😀

This fight was really interesting since i am a counter-puncher. I will consider this for consultation on how to sharpen up my counter-punch.

Love these videos - would like to see a breakdown of Wilfred Benitez's brilliant defensive style. I think there's a lot of material there that would be interesting to examine. Please keep up the excellent work.

Great break down thumbs up for this one

You did not mention the most important aspect of all. Rigondeuax's defence was not in place because he can defend so well ONLY against orthodox, not southpaws.

Actually Rigo was not hit much at all. Loma footwork and being busy just overwhelmed him. Rigo was never hurt or dazed. Loma clearly won tho! Rigo couldn't hit him at ALL.

Great breakdown and the highlight is on point on the tactics used. Me as an amateur boxer I find this analysis very useful.

Brilliant breakdown!

Vasyl has unreal speed and skill

U know how the old saying goes Pressure bursts pipes. Don't get me wrong Rigondeaux is a great champion and claims he's seen "EVERY" boxing style there is but ends up quitting. I hope he doesn't do like Duran did and spend an extra 20 years in boxing trying to make up for 1 fight.

Awesome breakdown, thanks

Brilliant breakdown of the fight. New sub here.

I love how ( well not really) ALL of these guys ( well not ALL but mostly just the racist black people ) are like "Ooooooh at a lighter weight, Rigo would have flown through the air and fought an entirely different fight!" Has no one ever heard of the days when these weight subdivisions did not exist? Guys like Marciano and Ali had to give up 15,20,25,30 pounds at times and they never complained. Rigo was outsmarted, outlanded and outclassed by a superior Ukrainian intellect. Stop making excuses for this guy and accept the fact that he tested his mettle and was proven inferior.

Rigondeaux broke his left hand by only landing 15 punches, 5 were suppose to be power shots. Well it only takes one messed up punch and a bone can go, I must of missed that because he would have reacted to the pain. It was odd throughout the fight it looked like Rigondeaux was up for it. Problem is Rigondeaux is a good fighter, he still has a good record but people are gonna remember this for along time, a bad time in his career. Will Rigondeaux rise above up this, learn, maybe evolve? And is who gonna face Lomachenko next and crack the puzzle that is his style?

Not a huge Loma fan, but i remember this fight. One word: Masterful.

Great video, thanks!

Abraham fought with a broken fucking jaw. Till the end.

You've glossed over the fact that Rigo has never been "one of the greatest of all time", let alone "widely recognized". Nobody considered him that. He's been considered one of the best DEFENSIVE fighters, because he refuses to punch until there's an opening his opponent gives. Rigo has always fought scared, and Lomachenko exposed that.

Wow man, good eye... u just earned a new subscriber

You and mindSmash used the same thumbnail just inverted both videos where on my feed next to each other. And excited to watch them.

I'm not gonna lie, I was totally all rigondeaux. But it was really interesting to see how lomachenko pretty much demolished rigos crouching defense. too flatfootted compared to loma's great movement

NOMASchenko

Not to many people understand the sweet science!! But this video is a great breakdown of what Happened that night!! Great dissection of Boxing!! Great video

Great video men ! 👍👍

- Rigo 37 - Loma 29 when they fought - Morning of the fight weigh-in Rigo weighed in at 130 with a sweat suit on - That same morning Loma weighed in at 137.4 wearing briefs. - Rigondeaux since that fight has dropped down to the 118 pound division, Lomachenko fights now at 135 pounds - 4 divisions apart

Welcome to Lomachenko's University

First time on your channel. Instantly subbed

Wow what a great video cheers

Injury is not a fault but if you'll take it as an excuse you have a problem..

People still saying loma hype? Get the f outa here. Best p4p on a list that includes ward (son of judges). Can’t believe they kept that 1 loss on his record after his opponent clearly cheated!

Good video,congratulations.Sucess all you do

I come from a different sporting background and understand very technical things in my chosen sport. Thank you for explaining your views on this sport. Very insightful.
