Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Open For Rigondeaux, Gradovich Clashes

[MDPopescu]

well that answers the question,no fight unless rigo moves up,i think that's how it should be ,no catchweights,thats why there are divisions and if you cant go down without being drained then just fight at your normal weight

Rigo is small even at 122...
... In other words, Loma doesn't want to fight Rigo...
... I can understand him.

Lomo shook....lol, fight at my weight. Yeah buddy, you better steer clear of Rigo.

Loma will not fight Rigo. Period...

[MDPopescu]

In order to beat Rigondeaux you have to be willing to jump on him and make it an ugly fight. Rigondeaux likes to feel comfortable and in control during fights, that's how he is effective. He creates space and a zone where he feels safe operating from and keeps you at the distance he wants.

I believe Salido would be able to execute this type of gameplan and pull it off. Lomachenko is too mechanical/robotic and you are not outboxing Rigo. Donaire can also pull it off mixed with finesse and lateral movement which he does have and gives him the best shot out of all the fighters available to beat Guillerma.

This^^^...

Loma's style is too aesthetical in my opinion. Too many ornaments at this stage... But he's young and he's daily growin'...

From your logic, if a bigger man doesn't want to go down in weight then he is ducking the little man like if Mayweather doesn't want to go to 140, then he is ducking Danny Garcia?

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.

... Bright logic you have there!!!

1) Golovkin never asked Ward to go down at 160... Instead he said he would fight Ward at 168, down the road -- because GGG has some unfinished business at the middleweights...
2) And (as somebody said before) it was Ward who asked poor Dawson to drain himself to 168...
3) Ward said he was ready to go south, at 160, in order to fight Floyd... remember?

On "logic"...

Please read #35...

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?

Dawson is (was) a very confused guy... At this point he has no manager, no trainer, no whatsoever... Don't mention him again... Anything else?

I'm not about mixing and matching and applying certain standards to some fighters and not giving others the same. Higher weight fighters have it tougher to drop weight than vice versa, simple fact. Lower weight guys should come up, if they're good enough then the *added* weight shouldn't matter as it's mostly water weight that they're already cutting. This applies to all fighters.

I've tried to give you green K but I still have to spread around...

what a crap comment............we're talking about rigo vs lamo (their situation) not "lower weight guys moving up" thats too much of a general statement. rigo is a 5'3 tiny guy (already small at 122) whats wrong with lamo fighting him at 124 catch weight? or even at his weight class considering that rigo is the champ..........& your argument to that is "lamo has more pull" wtf hahaha even thats a load of crap. & not only that but boxing fans (real ones) don't give a **** about pull. it's all about the talent thats in front of you & how good of a resume you got. we leave "pull" up to the promoters...........heres the simple fact. lamachenko has no intentions of fighting rgio (because he would get his head knocked off) and the weight thing is just a smoke screen..........

no use in even debating it.........
