The cross eyed dizzy looking referee just isn't enforcing the rules and is making this an ugly fight. Mills Lane would have taken a point or two by now and be on the verge of running Rigo.

Loma by 6th round TKO secondary to Rigo's left being broke and not being able to come out for the 7th. Loma dominates entire fight. Rigo very frustrated.

I have never seen anything like Loma when it comes to skill. He made Rigo look bad. Always in the right place at the right time, blocks every punch Rigo threw, just amazing.

One in a life time fighter. Now, listen for the excuses. Rigo too old, had to jump up 2 classes. LOL The next big fight for Loma is Giovante Davis, the newest supa affelet at 135 lbs. Loma will wreak him.

Weird ending to the fight but Loma just seized Rigos soul and it's on to the next.

Rigo used to be a wrestler. Another couple rounds and he would have been so desperate he would have been shooting for a takedown.

Loma brings to mind fighting Calzaghe being described as boxing someone with an extra arm.

This fight is going to cause so much burn and bitterness and bewilderment with a certain group of people who grew up under mind bending rays of brainwashing about their "natural athleticism".

just read report on Eastside boxing. Geez, what fight was this guy watching. Everything is so biased against white fighters.

WBO super featherweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko (10-1, 8 KOs) defeated previously unbeaten Guillermo Rigondeaux (17-1, 11 KOs) by a 6th round injury stoppage on Saturday night in their long awaited match on ESPN at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Lomachenko looked at least 20 pounds heavier than Rigondeaux. There was no way Rigondeaux was going to win the fight based on Lomachenko’s size advantage.



Rigondeaux chose to not come out for round 7 after complaining of an injury to his left hand. Rigondeaux was getting totally out-boxed by Lomachenko before the stoppage. It appeared that Rigondeaux was afraid to let his hands go in the fight for fear of being countered.

In round 6, Rigondeaux was docked a point for holding.

Overall, the Lomachenko-Rigondeaux fight was a disappointment. It wasn’t exciting to watch, as their was very little action. Rigondeaux never landed more than 3 punches in a round, and Lomachenko was mostly throwing weaker, speedy shots meant to just make contact. This was not Gennady Golovkin at his finest. Lomachenko was boxing, and using his size to wrestle Rigondeaux and walk him to the ropes. Lomachenko would use his head and stick it in the face of Rigondeaux each time he would clinch. Lomachenko also threw a lot of rabbit punches that he got away with in the clinch. The referee gave Lomachenko a lot of breaks for his fouling. The referee didn’t do the same for Rigondeaux.
