Arum is just mentioning Rigondeaux so that Lomachenko's name will be associated with him and bring more recognition.
I doubt this fight will ever happen.
Rigondeaux does not have a large following.
He is a great boxer and gained my utmost respect after surviving a knockdown and soundly beating Donaire, but mentioning him is nothing like mentioning Mayweather, etc.
I give this kid credit for wanting to step up and fight Rigo right away. I think Rigo is one of the best technical boxers in the world along side Mayweather. Rigo is gonna batter this kid. The kid is great and will aquire titles in his career but he is not ready for Rigo but then again who is?
Damn talk about being rushed. Top rank is the best at bringing up there prospects the "right" way but idk about this one. His second pro fight salido and third fn RIGO!!!!!!
Not third fight. Floma never wanted it back then. Waited 4 years bro...
Didn't turn out the way many felt. Rigo, who weighed in at the same weight class as Loma on his debut declined the fight at that same weight for $500k or more and then accepted it at 130 for $400k. People still said size doesn't matter Rigo will still dominate and then boom. Didn't even win 5 seconds of the fight and quit with a whimper at 60-53.
