Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Manager Calls For Rigondeaux at 126

[PAC-BOY]

If so...goodbye Rigondeaux !

I disagree with this. Rigo doesn't have to move up if he doesn't want to. Loma shoud just try Vetyeka and Selby (Selby doesn't want it for whatever reason though) then move up. More challenges at 130. You have Uchiyama, Miura, Rematch with Salido, Martinez, Walters, Vargas, if somehow you can get Pedraza that would be awesome, I really like that Tevin Farmer kid (if he keeps improving I would love to see Loma against a style like that).

But no defending this from my part.

Hats off to Lomachenko and his manager for calling for this fight. Not many fighter around like this guy. Tell me one fighter in the game who in the first five fights took on TWO world champions......NONE. All these other chumps have swayed away from the boogeyman Rigondeaux; especially Leo Santa Cruz!

Rigo needs to take this. I've been critical of guys like GGG, Thurman and others for not fighting the best in the neighborhood of their weight division and I'm not giving my dude a pass for it either.

It's a big enough fight for him to take the risk, move up and go back down after. Get it done.

Who did Thurman duck again? Thurman on that list of guys not fighting the best but not others lol...

No Mayweather or Ward.. but Triple G and Thurman...sounds like some favorable cherry-picking there...

I agree..with your statement though... Rigo beat a hype job in Donaire...everyone in Rigo's camp knew...Donaire has only one punch and if you avoid it..you basically neutralize everything about him...Donaire was one of most cleverly promoted hype jobs I've seen in a while since maybe Berto...

Rigo needs to fight somebody here...get a fight on HBO/Showtime...Floyd isn't going to be around too much longer...make a run for that pound for pound title if you're the real deal...

Man, I'll take Rigo



And I love Loma too, close tough fight.

I agree... if Rigo says no...then Loma should get the Salido rematch...Salido had an unfair weight advantage... and was not randomly-blood tested..he's a known cheat...

I'd like to see rematch at maybe 128..with random blood-testing

[NEETzsche]

the size difference is too much. rigo's on the verge of some big fights in his natural weight class, he'd be ****** to move up right now

Mayweather

Give it a rest dude. SMH. Every day, every thread, one fighters name.

Rigo doesn't have to move up..but he needs to fight the best in his division or else become labeled a cherry-picker...

Agree 100%.


Loma has some very interesting matchups at 130.


I want to see a Salido rematch, im not sure how they didn't DQ 'Los Blows' Salido.




Dirty ****



Let Loma have his rematch.
