What more can you say about Vasyl Lomachenko? He was expected to beat Guillermo Rigondeaux if you go by the betting odds and just the fact that Rigondeaux was moving up two weight classes to fight him, but actually seeing it play out is unbelievable. Nobody styles on Rigondeaux like that. Nobody! And Lomachenko made it look so damn easy. Rigondeaux did not land more than three punches in any round according to CompuBox (not that they’re always accurate).
Rigondeaux didn’t quit just because his hand was apparently injured. He quit because there was no way he could win, there was no solving the Lomachenko puzzle, and while he wasn’t getting punished in some grotesque way, it was probably so disheartening for him to get thoroughly outboxed, his specialty.
