LOMACHENKO-RIGONDEAUX NEARLY DONE FOR DECEMBER 9 AT MSG
Boxing talk has been informed that pound for pound Picasso Vasyl "Hi-Tech" Lomachenko will return to the ring on December 9 against fellow pound for pounder and two time Olympic gold medalist Guillermo Rigondeaux. If the first fight in the history of boxing between two time gold medalists is finalized it will take place at the theater in Madison Square Garden, where Top Rank already has a hold on the date. If for some reason the Rigondeaux fight isn't finalized, expect Lomachneko to face Orlando Salido on the same date, but in a different venue. Both Egis Klimas and Bob Arum were unavailable for immediate comment. Remember where you heard it first!
This fight is great, id love to see it but i hope he dont pull out, knowing rigo history he is all talk and will pull out from fights, rigo didnt even want to fight nic walters when top rank offered it to him, his only creible opponent is nonito donaire and nonito isnt even first ballot hall of famer, when nonito retires it will probably take him several tries to get in, rigo ismt even a future hall of famer at this point he wasted his career i wish the pro blacks criticized him hard and put pressure on him and mock his fights against thai and filipino taxi cab drivers. Why do he get a pass?:pat:
You camt get into the hall of fame on just skill you need credentials and rigos resume lacks he needs to fight and beat loma now
The talking point was he got ducked hard doe. Something 3G fans can't even use.

Martinez, Walters and Sosa in his last 4 fights. Gary Russell jr not that long ago. Who's Rigo fought? Jazza dickens? It's more than 4 years since the donaire fight now and he can't live off that forever.

This is the issue here and the scapegoat tactic.
They already know they want Salido smh
The only source of this is Loma interview where he told that currently they are negotiating with Rigo for Dec 9 and if not successful , next one for the fight is Salido.
Also he told that they need some time to build this huge fight with Mike.
Well, that ain't saying much
Its Loma speaking in russian, basically it is straight forward translation. they are working to make Rigo fight and Salido as backup. Its good to have backup plan not to end up fighting another Marriaga as late substitute ( no offense to Marriaga as he is a good fighter )
Don't bother explaining, the hate on here is strong and only growing no mater what anyone says.
I hope this is true because this fight is special. Probably the best 2 amateurs of all time. I still think Loma will win by KO though. He's fought more often against better opposition.
I just don't like how he says "if it's not successful we'll fight Salido" it's as if they want the people to think they're trying to make the fight but aren't actually aggressively pursuing it.
Kind of like a half-ass negotiation just to say "oh.well...we tried."
"We're currently in negotiations to fight Rigondeaux on december 9th hopefully everything goes well" sounds much better.

This would be a great fight
Loma cuts off the ring to finally catch Rigo late
I think Rigo won't run in beginning feeling like the bigger man
Only when the speed and power of Loma start to connect will he begin his engine and try to run
Loma imo to gifted to let him get away
I agree. If this fight gets made we should all applaud ourselves since hype made the fight possible. I say 30% of the board makes fights happen since Industry lurks hereyou delusional clown. keep thinking your pathetic threads mean something you no life having loser.
