Bob Arum says he can make "Rigondeaux-Lomachenko" in 2014

...However, I'm interested in a fight between Lomachenko and Yuriorkis Gamboa with Yuri campaigning as a Jr. lightweight again. Yuri has no business fighting in the weight classes he's in now. And he needs to get himself a real trainer. He should be knocking on Pedro Diaz's doorstep right now... Now you're talking! If anything, I'd love to see Lomo versus Gamboa. Yuri hasn't looked good at all since leaving 126, so that levels the playing field a little. Still, I wouldn't put Vasyl in with Gamboa just yet. Even a sub-par "Ciclon" might derail his career.

Loma won Gold in every Competition Rigondeaux wasn't in! Same happens in the pro's unless he doesn't adjust well then nvm even that. Rigo wins by K.O

OMG OMG OMG OMG It is a bigger boxing match than Mayweather vs Pacquiao anytime ! If it is real talking, I already feel nervous one year before it

Omg omg omg omg omg

How do you know HBO was paying for it? I didn't mention HBO at all or anything aout how they felt, you just are attempting to shift the argument because I answered your post and you have no where else to go. Bob made a decision that benefitted TR, not HBO. Salido winning kept everything in house. At the time, Gamboa was not fully with TR, he was also with Ohmer. Perhaps you forgot this. Gamboa was being showcased on HBO while Bob was building them both up. More Floyd v Manny/Arum nonsense.

And you're basing that in what? I'm joking, who knows how good this guy'll be.

This would be sick if it happens,but I doubt it does

This fight wont happen in a year, or probably ever

Two ATG Amateurs... But I hope they don't make this fight because Lomachenko is not ready.

guy has 0 pro fights

HBO was paying for Gamboa, not Salido so your convenient observation doesnt hold water. You act like they were OK with Juanma losing. what a crock. How do you know HBO was paying for it?

You can't cry about a few pounds when your the little guys or you'll NEVER earn! If your at 119 and can't sign a 122 contract your career isn't worth a damn. Take it while you can because the fans will tire of inactivity and forget about you!!! Rigo has the talent to move up and down but his inactivity isn't helping his following! Ray Excellence. Ray you are the man!

Bob has 2 HOF matchmakers on his team. They knew Juanma's flaws. Salido is mexican and has a base of support so juanma losing to him doesn't hurt TR finacially as much as a loss to Gamboa, a cuban with no discernable fanbase. Notice which fighter is no longer at TR despite not losing? HBO was paying for Gamboa, not Salido so your convenient observation doesnt hold water.

This isnt the olympics! Two great amateurs, yes, but only rigo is proven. Loma hasnt even fought in the pros.

i thought rigo said he wasn't willing to move up to 126??

Rigondeaux is 2 fights away from becoming a free agent , this mean Bob is going to make Rigo wait a long time too make 2 fights just so this kid can add some fights

Didn't Lomachenko campaign as a lightweight as an Olympian? Now he's competing as a Jr. lightweight as a pro. Rigo and his team have already said that they're not concerned about going up unless it's at 124. TR wants to force Rigo to go up in weight and fight a guy with similar amateur credentials, but what about Zou Shiming potentially going up in weight to fight Rigo? LOL!! Yeah, whatever....

WTF? Bob did not know Juanma would lose. What kind of logic is that? If he knew he would lose to Salido...why match them up? He wanted to build up both names for a bigger fight. It blew up in his face. Bob has 2 HOF matchmakers on his team. They knew Juanma's flaws.

Bob knew Juanma would lose and juanma generated more dough, so you know why he did that. Lomanchenko has more marketability and profitability than Rigo so I expect this fight to be made, especially since Lomanghenko has the weight advantage. WTF? Bob did not know Juanma would lose.
