Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Open For Rigondeaux, Gradovich Clashes

[Foreign Soil]

Really? Lomachenko couldn't drop less than 1kg to make an amazing fight happen??!!
2Lbs to 124 as Rigondeaux has suggested seems better all round. Rigo goes up 2lbs, Lomachenko down 2lbs
But nah the kid wants Rigo to go up 4! He's bottling already

It's easier to move up than to move down. All Rigo has to do is not drain as much water ffs.

[umop-ap!sdn]

He don't want Rigo at his best, he want's to be at his best and put Rigo to a disadvantage. Can't wrong him for that. The first fight is the negotiations, gotta try and get your advantage one way or another.

Translation: bring me the russian mexican, but rigo no thank you.

TBH i cant blame him, he knows rigo very well

Translation: I refuse to be weight drained, I'll kick Rigo's ass where and when I feel like it.

It is hilarious isn't it? Weight drain Lomo to fight a great fighter in Rigo or else he's a *****. The same people would cry if Ward was made to go down to 160 to fight GGG. Ward is duckin GGG. Smh.

You know what you raise a good point i hated ward for draining dawson, so u might have a point there but i still think lomo doesn't want it.

That's hardly the same when you consider the stage that Rigondeaux and Ward have hit in their respective careers. GGG is in no position to tell the guy that is currently dominating 168 what to do, and Lomachenko is definitely not in a position to tell Rigondeaux what to do. These guys are rated top 5 pound for pound, and they're supposed to take orders from a guy who's best win is Matthew Macklin, and another guy who only has one pro fight? Can these guys have actual credentials before they start making demands?

Dawson called him out at that weight, and signed the contract. In the buildup to the fight, Dawson said he felt good and that weight wasn't an issue. He was obviously wrong, but how is Ward at fault for Dawson's decision?

Lol... Lomo is already more popular than Rigo. Rigo has no pull, if you want to go that route. Same with Ward - no popularity. That aspect doesn't even need to be brought up. Cutting weight is harder than moving up as the guy moving up simply has to cut less weight than he's already doing.
