Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Wants 124, Rehydration Stip For Lomachenko

[The Big Dunn]

For the nth time, Loma called Walters out when Walters had a belt at 126, how does not not make him want to fight Walters?

And he is the next big thing.

Did you see his response afterwards? if so, then you know he doesn't want to fight Walters.

WHy?

Because as the Salido fight showed, he doesn't have enough experience to be able to deal with a man that comes in heavier than he does.

He has crowd pleasing style, but if the opponent is able to make 126 then blows up (like ODH or Nonito), Loma needs to be able to fight in a way that he can still win.

What was that you were saying about GGG's manager requesting a 164 pound catch weight for Andre Ward?

Do you think Ward's finding ways not to fight Kovalev and GGG should be condemned by NSB?

Stop whining and deflecting Freedom. Loma did this to himself. I didn't do anything to him.

This thread is about Loma, not the other guys.

So did many, if not most, of those who saw him in the Olympics/as an amateur.

But bringing up "Bob" certainly explains your posts in this thread....for any of those who didn't already know what you were about.

That's fine dude. As I said above, the pros are different. What am I about? My guess is you are making a not subtle suggestion my comment is racially motivated ok, if that makes you feel better.

Bringing up Bob is about Bob rushing him into the Salido fight before he was ready to win. It's not just about his skill. he is a tremendous fighter.

But. as I said above, guys make 126 and then come in well above that. Is Loma experienced enough to deal with that? I don't think so at this point.

Loma has a chance to get a huge push by HBO. I do not think Bob wants to risk him losing, especially to a Rigo who HBO feels can not be marketed to the masses.

I myself, even as a "Rigotard", disagree with Rigo's demands. Lomachenko is the A side and shouldn't drop to a catchweight for Rigo or any other fighter.

[sugarsmosley]

i like rigo, but he is not daring to be great... thats for sure

Guys like you were quick to make excuses when Salido beat Lomachenko. "Salido was a welterweight..."

Doesn't it bother you that Loma would outweigh Rigondeaux by 10-12 pounds?

No. Rigo can continue to fight game show hosts on free Indonesian TV if he wants. Rigo is absolutely irrelevant in boxing.


Otherwise he can go ahead and step up and fight Lomachenko, who is more than willing to fight him.


Salido wasn't just overweight, he lowblowed and headbutted a 1 fight pro all night and still almost got KTFO'd at the end of the fight. One or two more fights/experience for Lomachenko and he would of disposed of Salido, easily.

Lmao. So do we call Rigo a coward now?

[SplitSecond]

Rigo weighed 126 vs Donaire and Nonito was 142 and against a better "boxer" in Lomachenko, such a weight advantage would be unfair.

Lets keep things honest.

Lmao. So do we call Rigo a coward now?

Why do you always try and compare one situation to another? Go make another Floyd thread coward

[-PBP-]

LOL @ The Gullible Gennady Groupies flooding this thread that has nothing to do with him.

[sicko]

I don't want to see the fight then because regardless who wins or lose it will be excuses. Catchweight Fights are nothing more than Exhibitions IMO

[Stas8t]

his minimal weight 125-125.5lb. 124 unreal
