so, walters misses weigh and moves up a division and is loma the one ducking him?

We all know that Arum is not gonna let Loma fight Rigo, especially after Rigo joins Haymon. What I would like to see is Haymon make a Rigo and Lara PBC show in Miami! Lara vs. Quillen, and Rigo vs. LSC, Mares, or Frampton.

It goes without saying Arum will not allow this fight happen... But I doubt Haymon sacrifices either Quillen or LSC to the Cubans anytime soon either.

Rigo has the reach/slight speed advantage over Loma...but Loma has the power advantage... they both have incredible footwork... neither fighter does anything wrong... Both have incredible defense too...

Loma called out Rigo first though... So let's see if he really intends to follow through...

I'm so curious how each fighter will be able to get to the other... It will be a real battle for points... Neither fighter likes to go to close decisions...

Imagine this scenario... Rigo is up on points in the latter rounds and Loma's only chance for victory is a KO... He's got the power to do the job but can he get in there... if anyone has the skills to pull it off it's another two-time gold olympian...

Another less important question...who would you prefer call this fight as the boxing expert... Roy Jones Jr or Andre Ward?

That's not what happened. Walters never said he was going up in weight. He's still officially a 126lb fighter. Loma said he won't fight him because he has no titles. I think he's still ducking Walters because he mentions the huge weight advantage Walters would have even at 126....

Walters-Loma is a great fight...But let's turn our attention to Loma-Rigo, the best fight to make in boxing right now, bar none.

I think hes French/Canadian but Im pretty sure that's what he meant.

I'm Romanian (I do know French and Italian though). I was carried away and the first term that came into my mind was 'narcisiac' (as used by aesthetic literature in my own language)... Initially I said: "Loma will hit the air with his aesthetically elaborated punches"... Sorry.

Link me where it says Walters moved up in weight.

Its ok to ask Rigo to move up but he cant move up for Walters (if he moves up)? Its the money fight.

The whole "he doesnt have a title" bs is just that... bs. If it's cause Walters doesnt have a title then why are they throwing Vetyeka's name around? Last I checked Vetyeka doesnt have a title. Rigo doesnt have a belt at 126 either.

Think about it. The math isnt hard. The writing is on the wall.

Loma seems to like Rigo first -- he thinks he dwarfs him, I guess.

Oh... Idk where I got it that you were Canadian then. Lol my bad!

[BrometheusBob.]

War Rigondeaux!!!

If Loma wins, which I doubt, maybe he can consider a move up for Walters.

boxrec has him as a super featherweight if i'm not mistaken. i don't remember, maybe i'm wrong, maybe he still is at 126 lbs
