Stop this Rigondeaux hype

[Divine Hammer]

Walters and Loma cut to make weight, Rigondeaux eats to stay at his weight. He won't be moving up because he's already a division higher than he needs to be.

i think walters weighs around 150 lbs on fight night. so i don't blame rigo for not fighting him because that's not fair to ask of him.

but loma weighs in at 130lbs on fight night. so it isn't that big of a difference compared to rigo who weighs 125-126lbs on fight night.

i'd like to see rigo vs lomachenko maybe at a catchweight of 123 lbs.

when did it become a crime to get hit and knocked down in a professional boxing match?

When Manny got knocked down apparently.

After rigotards started saying hit and not get you cant hit what you dont see

Anyone have a video of the fight?

The fight is in the Amagasa-Rigondeaux thread, a few pages from the end.

I think it was posted a couple of pages ago in the 'Rigondeaux climbs off the floor to stop Amagasa' thread too.

I don't hate Rigo. I hate Malignaggi, that gaylooking weakling, but I don't hate Rigo. I just think it would be better for Rigo's legacy to do what I suggested, if he really wants to be remember as more than a fragile little man who exposed Donaire. If anyone wishes that for him, THEN they hate him. I think he could make good money after fighting Frampton.

Are we talking about legacy or money? Cause I'm more concerned with his legacy. He is the lineal champion, which means HE is the man to beat. He doesn't need to beat anyone to show he's the best. If the other belt holders don't want to face him then fine, he'll just keep racking up the wins and add to the number of defences he had of the lineage. History will show that he beat who ever was put in front of him, his mandatorily and anyone else. Just because he didn't beat someone in the division doesn't mean it's his fault, the others should be knocking down the door to have a go at the champ! If they're good enough then surely they'll become mandatory for his titles and challenge him, if not they wearnt good enough or didn't want to fight him.

What's your definition of a glass jaw? Someone who gets knocked down, I've seen him kd 3 times and never really seriously hurt and recovers like nothing ever happened. Now to me a glass jaw is someone who gets hit on the button and can't recover like maybe a Seth Mitchell but how can u discredit him because he outclasses everyone he fights. Anybody can b dropped with the right punch but how u recover when faced against adversity is what makes u a true champ. Rigo is definetly a top 10 p4p in my book

What do u mean those lower classes theyre a weight classes are 4 pounds apart i would understand if loma was middleweight and rigo a bantam

Ok so 4 pounds are nothing right? Why doesn't Loma come down to face rigo at 122 then?

[12TRIBEsRiSe]

has rigo been knocked down before?

Idk wouldnt mind him to come down in weight to kick rigos arse

has rigo been knocked down before?

against cordoba and donaire. but those were slips/off balance issues. he never has been legitimately knockdown and hurt imo.

even the knockdowns against amagasa were more of a slip and off balance/getting tangled up.

rigo has a good chin.
