Tale of the Tape

The left-handed Ukrainian boxer is 168 cm tall compared to the 162 cm of Cuban Guillermo Rigondeaux. The interesting thing is that Rigondeaux has a bigger reach, 173 cm comparing to 166 cm even if he is shorter than Vasyl Lomachenko. In the clash of two left-handers, everything is possible. They are simply not used to fight against left-handers. Southpaw stance fighters are rare, and fights between two southpaw stance fighters are usually really exciting. Vasyl Lomachenko has 9-1 (7 KOs) record while Rigondeaux hasn’t lost yet in 17 matches (11 KOs). Although Rigondeaux has boxed in 7 more fights, he boxed just 21 rounds more than Vasyl, so he is obviously a very aggressive fighter.

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux Fight Preview

This is a highly unusual fight. As two left-handers are not strange enough we have a clash of fighters from different weight categories. Vasyl Lomachenko is natural featherweight while Guillermo Rigondeaux is super bantamweight by his nature. That means that the Cuban fighter Guillermo Rigondeaux will have to find 6-10 pounds somewhere. Although this looks like unimportant info in everyday life in the boxing it is very important. Rigondeaux will have to change his habits in order to accomplish his target and earn few pounds.

Strengths

Vasyl Lomachenko is fighting as a home boxer because he is a citizen of USA. Lomachenko is also in advantage because he will not have to work on his weight and can focus on scouting his opponent rather than chatting with a nutritionist.

Weaknesses

Both fighters have the same weakness here. Although their southpaw stance could give them a dose of mistery against orthodox stance fighters, now they are facing southpaw fighters and brain games can start. Everything will be awkward for them. Rigondeaux’s weakness could be lack of support because he is fighting against “home” fighter if we can say that for the Ukrainian.

Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux Prediction

Our prediction for this match is: Lomachenko will hold his title, probably by KO or TKO.
