    I think Rigo is just going to get outworked.

    I agree. Rigo just too old.

    Fan of Loma but is it just me or is it like watching two kids fight?

    One man physically dominating the other.

    Loma is frustrating to watch at times. Needs to chill and relax...

    All over..

    Rigondeaux quits on his stool. Never thought I would say that. Rigo's corner realised he was beaten and pulled him. He is 37 but fairly poor.

    I'm not happy with that ending.

    As Barry Jones said, it's an insult to all the honest boxers out there and I agree.

    Just because he was well on his way to being beaten, you still man it out.

    I don't believe his hand is badly hurt and even if it is, keep going!

    Pure quit job. Never landed anything to hurt that hand.

    I was just about to comment that Rigo really isn't enjoying things in there, and that once he's unable to hold up close (for fear of dq) the game would be up.

    He wanted a way out, isn't used to things going against him and thought 'nah, I'm not going to put up with this'....

    Couldn't hack it that there was someone out there better than him so quit one of the most cowardly acts I've ever seen in a ring

    I never understood the excitement about this fight at all. There are weight classes in boxing for a reason. Give me Rigo v Inoue or Tete and I'll get excited. This was just a pure money making circus from the moment it was announced.

    But Rigo against those two is a two-weight difference also.

    I hope Lomachenko's brilliance doesn't get too overshadowed.

    He completely outboxed a master boxer.

    The guy is a genius!

    Poor form from Rigo.

    4 opponents in a row have now quit on the stool vs Loma, surely a record? Albeit an unusual one

    How? Rigo can still make 118. Inoue and Tete now both fight at that weight. Inoue has announced he's moving up.

    Rigo really moved up 4 weight divisions from his natural weight tonight and fought a guy tight at 130. That's why it was basically a guaranteed mismatch.

    I'm not saying Rigo definitely can't make bantam, but he's never made the bantam limit as a pro. There must be a reason.

    Inoue was a world champ at light-fly, Tete lost his first world title fight at flyweight. Moving up doesn't change the fact that they're smaller men.

    Plus Lomachenko would easily make 9stone still. He only moved up to break records.

    What's In Lomachenko gloves? Mixed feelings about the fight, Lomachenko is a sick man and he will struggle to get fights

    Inoue was world champ at light-fly when he was 21, three years ago. He's filled out since then and can't make that weight anymore. It doesn't make him automatically small at bantam.

    You surely can't compare two fighters fighting at their natural weights to that circus tonight. Rigo and Inoue are the same size height wise. Tete has 4 inches on both of them.

    Farmer just got robbed blind in Vegas apparently. Only saw the last three rounds myself but he seemed to be coasting. Awful night for boxing all round this.

    The sad thing is they have somehow managed to make Mayweather/McGregor and Haye/Bellew seem more watchable.:eek:
