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

[Art-illery]

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....

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...

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

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

[Fetta]

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

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.

You act like they were OK with Juanma losing. what a crock.

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!

Excellence. Ray you are the man!

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.

guy has 0 pro fights

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

This fight wont happen in a year, or probably ever
