‘Vasyl Lomachenko-Guillermo Rigondeaux is the greatest fight out there’

EARLIER this year Manny Pacquiaoโ€™s trainer Freddie Roach told Boxing News what his dream fight to make would be.

โ€œI like to be a matchmaker in my head โ€“ and the best fight in the world is [Vasyl] Lomachenko against [Guillermo] Rigondeaux. Youโ€™ve got one guy who has won 200 fights in a row and the other guy who has a record which is like 500-1. Rigondeaux is the best defensive fighter in the world and he would be up against a very sharp offensive fighter. If I was a matchmaker thatโ€™s the fight I would make. Iโ€™m not sure who wins. I think Lomachenko might hit too hard,” Roach said.

โ€œBut ‘Rigo’ is a master and he also hits hardโ€ฆ Iโ€™d love to have him [back] because heโ€™s a great fighter. That would be the greatest fight out there.โ€
