Could the great Lomanchenko do what Rigondeaux did?

He must have tacked on extra weight, then, because he was 145 against Gesta.

He was 144.5 against Loma.

Seemed more accurate.

Yeah, he’s not a huge lightweight by any means and has come up more weight divisions than Loma has. Just a taller, lankier fighter. The whole 152-154 talk is just silly though. He has never been remotely close to those weights and never will.

He seemed thoroughly outsized against DeMarco (and never came close to dwarfing anyone) and has never been a remotely physical guy at the weight. Putting 20 pounds back on fight night seemed pretty ridiculous.
