I recall I predicted Rigondeaux would have a good shot at beating Lomachenko? Well after reviewing the fight I have to say I was extremely wrong. Rigondeaux was bullied into submission (literally) by Lomachenko and the world saw it happen. Rigondeaux did not appear to bring his power up with his weight and I recall saying in my original prediction that Rigondeaux could only win if he could bring his power up because he needs power to back Lomachenko up. The fight on the other hand showed Rigondeaux was being backed up, and in my opinion due to the age it was only a matter of time before the pace of Lomachenko would be too much for Rigondeaux.

I was surprised as everyone else that Rigondeaux quit and don't understand it but then if he only has his left hand and that hand got injured against someone like Lomachenko then it makes sense. On the other hand Mayweather had a bad hand when he fought Pacquiao and still won so this goes to show that it's not just defensive genius that makes Mayweather the best but also his mental toughness.

Congrats to Lomachenko and team for a career defining fight. There is only one move left in my opinion for him and it involves moving up in weight.

I look at the fight and the reason Rigondeaux lost wasn't because Lomachenko was outboxing him in a technical way. Rigondeaux for some unexplained reason had no power or speed on his punches. He looked flat, and maybe he just became old overnight but  where was his power in his straight left which did land a few times on Lomachenko, or his body shots which was his main weapon against Lomachenko, which he did land in the 3rd round.

Lomachenko is not the kind of boxer you can have a bad night against.
