All Rigo had to do was not quit. The excuses were ready made for him. 120-108? He was too old, too rusty, too small, no chance against Top Rank blah blah blah
Luke Taylor
He would have got stopped
Grayson Walker
I didn't forget shit you weeb
Aaron Scott
Just because Rigondeaux lost this fight,doesn't tarnish his prestige as a boxer. He was still world champion at super bantam,he still won 2 gold medals and he went up two classes to fight a man more than 10 years younger than him.
Rigondeaux is still a great boxer but Lomanchencko is just better
Jace Baker
That is all true, but quitting does at least harm his mage in the eyes of most.
Colton Lopez
I think he must have hurt his hand. Seriously. It's not like Loma had any heavy shots landed on him enough to KO him. Loma was out boxing him but he still could've just kept going and maybe lose in a later round or on points. He definitely hurt his hand I think
Adam Harris
And he got rekt by Loma
Parker Hughes
That's all well and nice, until you realize that true champions don't give a shit. Cotto fought with a torn biceps, Joe Smith Jr. fought over 12 rounds with a broken jaw, Ward beat Froch with one hand, Loma beat the Thai guy with one hand, Haye went out at least like a warrior against Bellew, Danny Williams literally dislocated his shoulder but KO'd Mark Potter in the 12th, JMM got KD'd 3 times in and came back to almost win or arguably win a fight against another ATG.
These are just examples on the top of my head. Rigo has no damn heart.
Tyler Lopez
Six world titles in play on those two cards
Adrian Perry
Yea seriously hurt his hand punching air
Joshua Parker
Yeah but none of those boxers were being dominated as hard as Rigondeaux was. It was easily 6-0 to Loma. Rigondeaux had no hope even with two hands so what purpose would it have served to fight a losing fight and risk the chance of permanently damaging his hand just to lose on points? Rigondeaux was being smart. he'll go back to his original weight and become world champ again.
Logan Lopez
Floyd's win over JMM and Loma's win over Rigo are just going to look better and better as time goes on.
Elijah Nguyen
Umm nobody will pay to watch Rigo again after quitting like that
Blake Wood
He will never be televised in America again and he'll never earn a purse larger than $100k again. If he had gone out on his shield like a champion and gained some respect he'd be in a much better position to continue his career
Jace Williams
And I also make the point that Rigo does this to get money for his family. He's 37 (probably older) and has already cemented his name in history. He still went home with 450k and he'll win more money in future enough until he has to retire
John Wright
Joe Smith Jr got dominated, man. It doesn't matter what you say, because the matter of fact is Rigo quit like a bitch, when he could have engaged, went out and gotten a lot more respect. He chose the safe option, he chose to run.
Josiah Ward
I was expecting a real toe to toe chess match here after the first round, but Jesus, Loma really just bullied him on the inside with his size and forced him to clinch in every exchange. I would have been a lot more impressed if Loma managed to beat Rigo at his own games like all his fans like to claim he would be able to do, but I will at least give him the props for seeing through Rigo's gameplan so quickly and then forcing him to fight on his terms seeing as Rigo is notorious for doing the same to his opponents.
All and all, a very disappointing night and I have no clue how anyone can be satisfied with how that fight played out at all. Alleged hand injury aside, Loma beat Rigo on pure footwork and activity, which we all knew he already excelled at. Shocked Loma didn't take this opportunity to showcase his other skills in the ring against a truly great fighter and shocked Rigo completely fell short of everything that was expected of him.
Parker Hall
He obviously will. Losing one fight that you were an underdog in doesn't ruin your career
Landon Baker
hey tony
Jonathan Hughes
Bullshit. He took the fight to cash out, realized he was gonna get his shit rocked or just get embarrassed for 6 more rounds. Unless we get an x-ray, he's a quitter.
A lot of you guys called Kell Brook a quitter both times he got his eye socket broken but want to give Rigo a pass.
Camden Price
Quitting prematurely and ruining a highly anticipated main event can definitely ruin a career, especially when you already have a reputation of being dull and high risk/low reward. Plus it seems that Roc Nation is quitting the business. If he had gone out on his shield Arum might have given him a fight with Magdelano or something. He will probably be in untelevised limbo for another couple of years until promoters feel it's safe enough to feed him to their prospects
Jeremiah Smith
Any more Lomachenko webms? Thanks for these
Also, was this fight stopped when the ref saw that horrendous cut?
Adam Wright
Brook was understandable, both times for different reasons, this was just a joke, just like Walters.
Jacob Hall
Brook gave a much more spirited effort than Rigo. So did Khan and Gamboa
Isaiah Morgan
Rigo should never be shown on any televised event ever again
pure bitchmade joke
Jordan Nguyen
Boxing is the one sport where you are often more defined by your losses than by your wins.
Rigondeaux will be a prime example in this case, history won't be kind to him.
Easton Gutierrez
sonny liston gave up against muhammad ali, he was still an atg
Matthew Lopez
Lel, he'll always be remembered for quitting like a coward first and foremost
That is his legacy now
Jordan Baker
Yeah it does. His pro career's been built on the fact that "everyone ducks him" and his resume's built on mostly cans w/ the exception of a very shopworn Donaire.
Half this board was dick riding him leading up to the fight and the one time he stepped up he got fucking crushed and quit. lmao
Lucas Gutierrez
Good post Afghan bro. Rigo confirmed for chinlet,handlet, bodylet and heartlet.
Jeremiah Jenkins
Fuck all of you miserable bastards. Rigondeaux is a fantastic fighter and shouldn't have his legacy ruined over one single fight. Fuck you.
Angel Morgan
I'm not Afghan, I'm Moldovan, but whatever.
Xavier Gonzalez
Dude I love Rigo, I wanted him to win, but what he did was shameful.
Benjamin Johnson
Bet you were the Irish flag yesterday calling Loma a white hype job
Jayden Anderson
He is a great boxer (not fighter for sure), but he is also a quitter. That is by far the worst you can do in boxing. I think it's not just that, but it's the fact that he talked so much shit only to literally quit without having ever been seriously hurt. Speaks volumes.
Lincoln Mitchell
>forced him to clinch
Rigo was a known clinchlet going into the fight. For some reason when Rigo, Ward, Hopkins clinch excessively its called "great inside game" or some stupid shit.
Nobody who really knew boxing thought Rigo stood a chance. Loma just too good. Size is a bullshit excuse. Rigo was always overrated by boxing dorks and the hype behind him was never justified by anything he did in the ring.
Cameron Nguyen
You seem quite emotionally invested in this - did you lose bigly?
Ryder Rodriguez
Wow, you should've quit while you were ahead. ha ha ha.
Nathan Collins
this guy was a bit more eloquent than the afghanbro I remember
Luis Young
Why does everybody always ignore my posts?
Colton Cox
damn none of the germans here are actually german, what about the brits?
Nathan Hughes
I guarantee you /box/ threads are mostly Brits, Americans and Eastern Europeans. Any Spanish flag you see in this thread is 90 % likely to be a Brit.
Jeremiah Bell
You should try /cric/ it's almost like they get off on not giving (yous)

Rigo could have done a lot better had he stopped putting his head down. He should have stayed upright and kept his jab out in front of him like he did in the 5th.
Alexander Wood
Rigo had nothing for Loma, they were leagues apart in skill
Gabriel Hill
Joshua will go on to surpass Lennox Lewis

Little village like an hour from Valencia. Chirgua.

Not saying he would have beaten him, but would have done better.

he's gonna get a gift decision against parker and then get knocked the fuck out by deontay. deal with it
dont know how you can read rahman and somehow find a K sound in there
Xavier Sanders
The first round was competitive though?
Isaiah Wilson
this is insane, how can someone be so delusional
Nathan Bailey
watched the fight twice now, and honestly, there are no worthy moments to webm besides the last 2 i posted in the other thread. The fight was shit and the brit that said it would be a stinker was right.
here is where i assume rigo hurt his hand, but i'm not sure, because he threw a few more lefts after this. feel bad for rigo, his career is done after that performance, unfortunately.
rigo's still an amazing fighter and it's a shame he had to go out like this, but we all should still at least give him credit for moving up to face the challenge.
Nathaniel Campbell
Anyone think Rigo will ever post the x-ray of his left hand "injury"?
Hunter Murphy
Any links for the hd version of the full fight of Lomachenko ? There no torrents arround and seems strange to me.
Thank you very much ! Apparently it was not on pirate bay. This is gonna be the first full match of boxing that I will watch. Hope it lives up to the hype.
Christopher Campbell
>he was winning until he lost
Tyler Johnson
loma's feints are fucking good though it worked against rigo i dont think i have doubts anymore

Ethan Sanchez
His pro career has been built on the fact that "Everyone ducks him" because everyone DOES duck him. The one time he stepped up he fought the undisputed, best fighter in his vicinity in Donaire.
Also I like how you try to discredit the Donaire win as if Donaire was shot just as he fought Rigondeaux. He earned two of his best wins dominating Narvaez and Montiel just two years before. He's younger than Rigo and hasn't been in any wars. He still only had one loss, that being in his 2nd fight. Now he stepped up to the plate to fight the undisputed best in his vicinity a second time moving two weight classes and it was just too much for him. Too old, too unadaptive, and Lomachenko was just too damn good. But lets not retroactively consider Rigo some hypejob who would have been beaten the moment he stepped into the ring with someone decent. Santa Cruz and Frampton both undeniably ducked him hard, Frampton flat out admitted he was too dangerous.
Nolan Stewart
it was not a decisive win is what I'm saying, should have given him a rematch
Brayden Young
Does anyone know who the reporter is
