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

[PAC-BOY]

Hahahha bet my good man.


124 doe. It is true, Rigo is a natural 118, and he is small at 122.


Southpaw vs southpaw would be very interesting

I like to see it...but only if Rigo can make weight and still be on top of his game.

He is smaller at 122. I dont think at 124 he would be bothered by the weight. Can Loma come down is my question? Its a 119lb'er VS 132lb'er Where will they meet?

I doubt Lomachenko will fight Salido when he moves up in weight. He's trying to fight the best and Salido is way past his prime now. Lomachenko could easily beat Rocky Martinez right now.

I hope Salido beats Martinez because I want to see the revenge. This should be the plan for Loma: get Vetyeka, hopefully Selby finds his nuts and fights, and move up to fight the WBO champion (hopefully it's Salido), then try to unify 130. 130 should be much easier the only one that won't be available is Pedraza, which is such a shame because Lomachenko vs Pedraza is the fight I want to see. Walters will hopefully be champion by that time as well. Uchiyama is the top dog, he's been champion for over five years.

Rigondeaux is has the tools to beat Loma...............................

[Loque-san]

Obviously. You've also got the fact that in this instance the better, more experienced, more accomplished being asked to move up 4 lbs. In the GGG case you're asking a small MW to move up 8 lbs to fight the better, far more experienced, far more accomplished fighter.

1) I don't think Golovkin is a small middleweight at all.

2) Rigondeaux and Ward being better than Lomachenko and Golovkin is debatable.

3) Experience: Golovkin has more pro fights than Ward and a longer amateur career as well.

4) Rigondeaux is more accomplished than Lomachenko thanks to one big win. Salido and Russell Jr. are better than anyone on his resume not named Donaire.

I agree with the rest.

Rigo vs Loma is the fight which MUST happen. I can't even consider if I've ever watched a fight with so much skills in BOTH fighters. And they both should meet each other in half way and make it happen. I'd bet Loma wins by TKO in championship rounds in very close fight with a slight advantage for Rigo in scorecards when stoppage comes.

[Killer_of_Sheep]

after watching Rigo's last fight, i have little doubt that Lomachenko stops him late.

I wouldn't be easy, of course, i see it being more or less like Crawford x Gamboa, but on a whole other technical level. Rigo starts off well, but Lomachenko addapts and menages to stop him in the later rounds.

[MDPopescu]

Rigo is no Gamboa...
(With Loma, Rigo would stay at the distance and exercise the "Cuban style", which usually exasperates the guys from the "Soviet school".)

[SchoolTheseCats]

Would love to see fight but good old arum will stop it from happening if Rigo agreed to move up he don't want him to destroy Loma like donaire have to start whole rebuilding process for Loma only reason we don't hold the salido loss against him cause guy did every dirty trick in book

[Pago007]

Great fight rigo precision and defense vs loma speed and body attack

[Bigg Rigg]

Unless Rigo knows he is going with Haymon and they are going to get him Santa Or Ab, I think this is a must for him. Go to 126, fight in a big title fight on HBO and its Against a fellow Olympic Gold medalist. Please make this **** happen!!!!
