    122 & 126 divisions

    Some good fights to be made in these divisions right now.

    I don't think anyone is in a rush to face Rigo at 122 which is a shame.
    Quigg Vs Frampton is a big fight in the division but the whole 'TV network: SKY vs ITV' argument looks like it may put a halt to things.


    Donaire looks like he may be back in the mix at 122, and I noticed that Eddie Hearn had tweeted Donaire after his win this weekend. Maybe there is a chance we see Rigo Vs Frampton and Quigg Vs Donaire as opposed to the Quigg Vs Frampton fight that has been often talked up.

    Kiko Martinez is always fun to watch also. Maybe he could take another trip over to the UK and face Kid Galahad, (who wants to step up a level) to try put himself back into contention.

    126 is looking pretty deep also right now. Russell Jr has put himself up there with his win this weekend. There's 2 other top quality champs in Lomachenko and Walters.

    Lee Selby fights soon against Gradovich for his title. Then there is the possibility of a Santa Cruz Vs Mares showdown. If the fighters want to unify..then there is some interesting fights to be made there

    Rigo and Walters are the 2 best at those weights but Rigo the chicken is too busy fighting and calling out little guys that he knows he can beat.

      Recall the old days when Zarate moved up to fight Gomez and Gomez moved up to fight Sanchez...... Or recently when JM Marquez moved up 2 divisions to fight Floyd who didn't weaken himself to make welter?

        Walters is a beast. He's phyiscally big and super strong for his weight class, so If Rigo moves up to 126 and takes on Walters Rigo gets knocked out. Loma would get stopped too...It's all about Walters.

          The W.B.C. is supposedly going to position Nonito Donaire as the mandatory for Leo Santa Cruz's title. That'd be a big fight.

          And the ink is probably already dry for Russell Jr. vs. Mares. Frampton vs. Quigg would be great too. Lomachenko vs. Walters would be awesome, but Bob Arum will probably milk both of them until one moves up to 130.

            Yeap.. Light Featherweight and Featherweight are two of the best or at least two of my favourite right now.

            Many interesting matchups that can be made. I have Rigo as king of 122 and Loma at 126.

            Loma will school Walters like he did to Russell. He took Salido punches and he would take Walter's too no problem..

              If Loma took a welterweight's punches with no problem, I think he can do the same with Walters. Considering the fact Loma has the superior movement and boxing skills, Walters will simply not be able to land the kind of shots like he did on Donaire for example, who got too sloppy and decided to fight toe to toe. I'm willing to bet with anyone that Loma doesn't get stopped by anyone in the 126 pound division...the guy has a very good chin.

                  Only time will tell....Let's make Loma vs Walters and see what happens. My prediction is Walters by KO/TKO

                  Would you pick Rigo to beat Walters?
