He dropped down to LW to fight Easter.
Don't you mean he's posturing to avoid Lomachenko?
no idea why I said Rigo. I think I had just read the Rigo article before hand. yes I meant Loma lol
and yeah he dropped back down, but being lineal champ at 140 no longer means he's a 135lb boxer.
He has a Point! :dunno:
As a Spence Jr and Mikey Garcia fan...I hope that fight DOESN'T HAPPEN not this December that is just not enough time for Mikey to GO UP TO 147 build up strength and punch resistance at 147 to deal with physically one of the strongest fighters in the Division in just 4 Months? HELL NO!
Instead the winner of Danny Garcia vs Shawn Porter need to fight Spence Jr, I don't know if they would be ready by December but maybe February 2019. As for Mikey, The Loma Fight! Go after the #1 P4P Fighter who is in your Division!
Is Mikey not the 140lb lineal champion? So he's moving up one weight class to fight Spence.
either way though, I don't see it happening. It's posturing to not fight Rigo while Spence will fight more deserving Welters.

What's up with playing one audio clip of Hunter, yet showing a completely different video clip?? That mess is worse than an overdubbed Godzilla flick from the 70s! :lol1::lol1:

I think Hunter and Ward even picked Rigo. Ward said he’d school Loma and like most they said size didn’t matter due to Rigo skill.
Why do you keep lying? First you said Mikey and Robert Garcia predicted Rigo to win EVEN THOUGH they are both on video saying they think Lomachenko will win.
Now you are saying you 'think' Hunter and Ward picked Rigo even though No prediction from Andre Ward can be found, and Virgil Hunter is on record saying he thought Lomachenko would win.
'Trainer Virgil Hunter says Lomachenko has to be viewed as the favorite to beat Rigondeaux tonight based on his size. Hunter thinks it’s going to be hard for Rigondeaux to overcome Lomachenko’s size advantage in the fight.
“If you logically think, you have to pick Lomachenko because of all the advantages he has,” said trainer Virgil Hunter to Dontae’s Boxing Nation. ”First and foremost, starting with the size. Rigondeaux had to move up 2 weight classes. It’s quite obvious the advantages lie in his court,” said Hunter.'

in my experience, he likely already had to make the jump the one class, so used it as an excuse to jump two classes.
"I jumped two weight classes" sounds a lot better than "I couldn't make weight anymore, then jumped one class"
and all good man. Appreciate the apology.
He was making 119lbs as a grown man with a fully developed body (26 years old) with SAME DAY WEIGH-INS. It is extremely unlikely he was struggling to make 122lb and to my knowledge there has been no indication from Rigo or his camp that he struggles to make 122lbs.
Spence should not fight Mikey, if no one at 147 is available then make a fight at 154 IMO
i think the fight is bs, but if Spence doesn't fight him, the SAME people saying he shouldn't fight him 3 years from now will say, "Spence ducked Garcia". If Garcia wants to get battered around the ring for a check, then let him.

It’s very possible but we’ll never know for sure until maybe years down the road in some obscure interview lol.
No problem bro I know how comments especially on bs can be and l dont want to come across like one of these guys who talk sht online to random people in a disrespectful manner because they can hide behind their computer screen.
There is a demand to see Mikey fight period. Fans will jump at the chance to see Mikey and Spence. Imo this isn't a size mismatch because of Mikeys style.
Many of Loma's fans act like they're disappointed that he isn't fighting Mikey lmao. Mikey believes that he can beat Spence. I do too. Mikey isn't too flat footed. Mikey is an elite fighter. He's a pfp fighter. He didn't get there because he was too flat footed.
Even if Loma and Rigo were the same size and age...imo he couldn't beat Loma because he can't fight inside. Loma can box from the outside and he can fight inside and he has fast hands. Rigo didn't come close to outboxing Loma. It was a total mismatch.
I like Mikey's chances against a guy who won't move. Spence isn't a mover. Mikey will shine in this fight. And if he loses, then he was supposed to lose lol
I hope mikey-loma happens first before he fights spence. Coz if it’s the other way around , loma fight won’t have much relevance and quality as it currently does.
If Mikey beats Loma then he can go fight spence. If he can’t even get past Loma then it’s time for him to wonder what could he really offer spence.
Or are you one of those guys who think loma is more dangerous than spence at this point in Mikey’s career? lol
We’d never know about the prime loma vs prime rigo at same weight as it never happen.
Your just basing your result against a
37 yr old rigo climbing 2 weight classes while also being relatively inactive for the past 3 years.
Rigo’s ego bleed first than his body. That’s what happened.
Almost everyone actually wanted to see that fight lol as for spence-mikey there is absolutely no demand for it.
Why do you think that is?
And the odds will not even be comparable.
I like Mikey but he’s too flatfooted to go against elite big guys. Kind of like Marquez wouldn’t be able to runaway from guys like cotto or marg no matter how good he is.
Rigo could potshot Mikey at a distance if they are of the same weight. It’ll be like the donaire fight, with Mikey banking on his power shots.
Rigo vs Loma prime to prime p4p is a toss up. It’ll be offense vs defense.
And why would rigo fight loma on the inside when the latter is the bigger guy??
It’s tough to beat a big guy if he’s just as good as you period.
Also the size diff between spence and mikey is so much bigger than loma-Rigo.
As it currently stands, I believe mikey can/will beat Loma at lightweight. Against spence, it’ll be a pounding

Lmao, this fight got made because so many people claimed Loma was ducking Rigo/wouldn't fight him/would lose. Even some dumbass posters here said the above. I here this bull**** everytime and it's a laugh. I've been saying since before it was made that even Walters himself would have whooped Rigo and that the fight was pointless. But no, Loma was ducking Rigo, Arum would never let him fight Rigo (same thing we heard with Linares, LOL), etc.
Look at the dumb **** people were spamming on his social media:
The symbols were cherries, chicken, and balls mostly, fyi.
Comments:
Anyone with a brain knew that this fight was a size mismatch. And the percentage of people who gave Rigo a chance...their names were either Slim or None.
I predicted Rigo would lose because the size difference was too much. I feel Mikey (my current favorite fighter) will lose because the size difference is too much.
I don't know why it's so fuking hard for boxing fans to be consistent and/or honest.
Rigo wasnt better than Mikey pfp. And Rigo's style isn't better than Mikey's either. If Rigo could fight inside he would've given Loma a hell of a fight while being two weight classes down.
Loma totally outclassed Rigo because not only was he bigger, he could box just as good and he was just as fast if not faster than Rigo. When the going got tough, Rigo couldn't go inside and proud the body, Mikey can.
That's why Mikey has a real shot to beat Spence imo. Nobody gave Rigo a shot to beat Loma except his fans, and clueless boxing fans. People might count Mikey out but this is a styles fight.

There's a big difference here....
While I and some others on here predicted that Loma would white wash Rigo and totally embarrass him, there was a huge sentiment among fans that Rigo vs. Loma was a competitive fight.
There were even people in the cesspool that is the LDBC saying that Loma was ducking Rigo only to go silent and then delete their videos after he embarrassed Rigo.
The public sentiment for Mikey vs. Spence is that the fight is a mismatch and almost no one is giving Mikey the same chance to beat Spence that people gave Rigo to beat Loma.
