I don't know man. Rigo is a GREAT fighter. Yeah the size difference matters, but Loma gets full credit from me if he wins. Loma isn't a godless killing machine who imposes his size and strength on guys anyway. These are two technical masters about to play chess.
Ffs, stop with the "The fans of Loma said this, the fans of Rigo said that.." sh1t..
Rigo called out and Loma acknowledged.. it's a good fight, pipe down and enjoy..
Depends on how he beats him I guess. If he just overpowers him and walks through Rigo's punches then he don't deserve credit coz it will be obvious that the size difference is what won him the fight.
But if he makes Rigo miss and outboxes, out-skills Rigo then he the man for sure.
I agree with this, hope to see a battle of skill and not the bigger guy just bullying the small one.
funny how pvssy ass rigo fans are back tracking now that the fight is a done deal. these clowns have no confidence in rigo. cant wait for loma to get rid of this coma inducing cuban.
Wait, didn't you say Rigo was scared of loma? But Rigo was the one calling him out for 2yrs. SMH....lil g fans are :crazy:
Both are great fighters but Rigo IS smaller. GGG got no credit for beating Brook, Crawford got no credit for beating Gamboa and Loma will get no credit when he beats Rigo.
Everything was agreed and written down in a contract,126 with a rehydration clause, everything that was needed was Rigo's signature,Rigo agreed to everything but then walked away over money, he suddenly wanted 1,5 or 2 million for the fight with Arum didn't want to pay him, that's why the fight got called off and it's the only truth to this story,Rigo wanted 124 yes but he did not get itch did get a rehydration clause at 126,he walked away, it's as simple as that,We should give Lomachenko just as much credit as Rigo because he has nothing to gain in this fight, just a name, and he's the only one wiling to fight Rigo when no one else would even though he has nothing to gain from it, and it's damn understandable he isn't going back to 126 now after his body got used to 130 and he's looking to move up soon,126 should have been the weight 2 years ago
All im saying if rigo was avoiding him then he would DEFINITELY avoid him now. THese 2 men are the definition of the sweet science. It's disgusting and disrespectful to claim either of then men avoided/avoiding anyone. Dec 9 let's get it on
Yeah, I don't think of him as a European as he's not part of the EU. Then again I'm from the UK and were leaving so I guess I'm not one either now lol.
Hahaha yeah i'm from Belgium but right now i am in ukraine,how funny is that, for me you will always be european mate ;-)
You would be wrong.
Ukraine - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine
Ukrajina ), sometimes called the Ukraine, is a sovereign state in Eastern Europe...
Yeah, I was thinking in terms of being an EU citizen, but you're right it is continental Europe, unless Putin says its not lol.
Ukraine is europe's biggest country when were talking landmass, so he's definitely european,they aren't part of the european union though

I do give him credit for taking the fight. It's his fans who are already lining up excuses that I take issue with. They accused Loma of ducking him for the longest, now that they are fighting they are saying Loma is too big, Rigo too old, etc. Basically, Loma won't get full credit for beating Rigo no matter what weight they fight because there will always be an excuse.
Those aren't his fans bro. Those are d*ck riders. They BOTH get credit from me. Whom ever wins. This is the true fight of the century to me. No shame in losing to Esther of those men. Hell some 700+ have lost them then already.
Listen in a HUGE fan of both. By far my favorite active fighters. Rigo wanted the fight at 124. Loma didn't want to drop 2 pounds. Jumping 2 weight classes to fight arguably the best P4P fighter is never a last option. It's never something someone HAS to do. It's something someone WANTS to do. Praise rigo for taking on a challenge. No one would blame him for NOT taking the fight. So give him FULL credit for taking it

But this one is different, he went to court for Mikey Garcia. He put garcia on the shelf due to the case for 2 years. I would be shocked if he ever work with Garcia again.
I don't knows don't see jewish people holding grudges when money can be made, there are too smart for that, but we will see

I don't know about that,he had obvious issues with Rigo and he made that fight, If the Garcia fight makes him money he will make it, money talks for these people

Of course that my whole point, if the Garcia fight is viable then he would take it. Having said that i really don't think Arum would ever work with Mikey Garcia.....Money or no money.
Same with Walters, now they talk about how he was inactive, but they knew that before the fight and still picked Walters.
You are absolutely right about that, the same will happen after this fight if Loma wins it, the same people who said Rigo will break his jaw will start making excuses
Wouldn't he make more money doe fighting Garcia? Because if he is about the money then he would be fighting Garcia, I don't like to accuse boxers of ducking but i doubt Loma's promoter Bob arum would ever allow him to fight Mikey Garcia due to the history (Garcia/Arum court cases.)
