Comments Thread For: Guillermo Rigondeaux To Lomachenko - When and Where?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

The fight was supposed to happen if Walters still had a belt and could make 126, blame Walters if you want to blame somebody.

So why is he willing to fight Vetyeka or Rigo if neither have a belt at 126? Hmmmmmmm

I don't think so. Lomachenko's style is technically pretty clean, he doesn't come across as being overly showy to me.

Hmmm maybe we're looking at this from a different perspective.

Boxrec is very screwy a times lol. Last we heard from him he said he was gonna make a decision in 2 weeks time but hasnt said anything else yet. But let's just say, for the sake of arguing, that Walters does move up. Why is it ok for Loma to ask Rigo to move up but he cant move up for Walters? More money in that fight than vs Rigo.

Same reason Ward is trying to make the GGG fight before he moves up to fight Kovalev. Same reason GGG is trying to make the Cotto/Canelo/Mayweather fights before he moves up to fight Ward. Had Walters not thrown his belt in the trash by being too unprofessional to make weight, we'd be seeing Loma pursue him as well.

Refer to my post above. This isnt just about a belt, man.

I don't know tbh, maybe because Vetyeka should be an easy fight to make and Rigondeaux because it's Rigondeaux. Well, he was interested in Selby after he won Gradovich's belt.

I took it to mean that Loma wastes extra effort to make his boxing look pretty instead of just keeping things effective and efficient.

Maybe I misunderstood, though.

Initial googling has Lomachenko with a 1.5-2 inch advantage in height.

The smaller the guys are, the bigger difference an inch makes.

Are they close enough to the same size for this to be legit?

Are their any photos of them together?

Did they ever meet in the ams? Any common opponents, pro or am?

This fight is a boxing fans dream if it's right, but is it?

If Walters still had that belt, he'd probably still be trying to talk his way out of unification. "Nothing to gain" and all that. lol

Where was the challenges when Rigondeaux was active and did not have Manager/Promotion Issues?

Anyway, Make It Happen! Would be a excellent Chess Match between two highly skilled fighters! Something tells me either Arum or HBO will prevent step in and stop this one

[BendOver]

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

so he missed the fw division by one pound and he can't fight at 126 ever again, by your account he should be fighting at 140 by now, right?
