Comments Thread For: Team Lomachenko To Rigondeaux: 126 or No Fight

[Easy Work.]

So Rigo has never fought weighing 126lbs?

Hes a jr featherweight. He has never had to make 126 pounds at the weigh in. Yes he can try to move up to 126 but 124 would be easier for him probably

[Easy Work.]

Thats just silly. Thats the same as saying Ward is ducking if he doesnt agree to fight GGG at 164, because GGG "has never fought at 168 so its understandable". Uhmmm, no its not.


ALL these catchweights are garbage, and shame on Manny, Floyd, and Cotto for making it so common that now its even creeping into divisions that are only 4 pounds apart to begin with.

If you want to move up and challenge for someones title, then the opponent should be able to weigh in at the weight limit of that division. If thats too big for you, then you have no business there in the first place.

catchweights are pretty ******. But thats just the way it is now in boxing. Still its really not that big of a deal if its 124 its not like hes asking loma to make 122. Both guys could probably make weight no problem whether its 124 or 126

These catchweights are such trash. Cowards like Ducklovkin and Rigonduck are asking for catchweights when they are still hiding out in their FIRST pro weight class.

**** like that is pukeworthy. Gennady Golovkin and Guillermo Rigondeaux are b*tch ass cowards. What happened to the real men that fought in this sport?

aren't you a floyd/ward fanatic? both have demanded and fought at catchweights

[tiliheels]

i access all cw's the same

1. are the fighters in the same division? if yes i can only accept a cw that is higher than that divisions weight..example peterson garcia at 143 did not bother me..

2. are they one weight class apart? if yes i access has the smaller guy fought anyone else at the division that he does not want to travel too..next icheck both guys rehydration numbers...if both guys rehydrate close no cw...if the rehydration numbers are lopsided i'm fine with cw and rehdyration clause bc i dont support not fighting at your original class..which means i do not support something about 99% of boxers...

my conclusion on this and i will compare it to ward ggg...lomo is really a 135 guy in the ring..rigo is really a 122 guy in the ring..rigo has never left 122 even when he fought a126 contender..they fough at 122...if he moves up to 126 he likely wont even reach 126 on the scale and lomo with then have a 10 lbs or more advan then...so i'm fine with cw and rehydration clause in this case

now ward and ggg no cw..ggg has challenged 168 guys at 168 and he weighed 175 lbs at one of his lates 30 day weigh in..he's even offered to fight bigger 168lbers than ward...

i dont access money or popularity when it comes to these things...also i access age..i dont see many successful career oriented boxers moving up in weight classes at 35..so i dont thnk rigo should go anywhere without something in his favor..i actually thinkg he should do like the rest of the boxers and go to weight where he can rehydrate 10lbs...he should go to 115 and be a 2 time champ..knock off gonzales..and then go to 118 to make it 3 time champ then he is a sure fire hof'er

[PACnPBFsuck]

hes still a lot bigger then rigo tho and can we please quit comparing this to the ggg ward situation. it is literally nothing alike

The Asian dude he fought was a WW on fight night, Loma doesn't go nowhere near that.

I guess if Loma doesnt want to drop down to 122 and challenge Rigo, lets just forget about it. Smh this is getn ridiculous, these guys are NOT in the same weight class, meaning theyre not the same size...so for a fight t..o be made between 2 guys who arent the same weight, some concessions may have to be made. would we want Rigo to go up a weight class or Loma to drop down a weight class? Either would favor only one fighter, imagine the excuses. @124 BOTH fighters will be giving up 2lbs ...im not supporting the rehydration stip though..if Rigo does end up agreeing to 126, he should just do it legit, no stips.

For me, this fight would be the best matchup of the year. Pure skill and talent vs pure skill and talent. Whens the last time we saw this kind of fight, with both fighters having so much substance?

Make it 124 but no rehydration clause. That would be meeting in the middle.

What do you think 2lbs means to guys this small , lets say in comparison to 2lbs with Cotto and 2lbs with Canelo , you guys really don't understand weight and soooooooo take it for granted , do you realize 2lbs extra on a 1000 pound racehorse can get it beat , think about this in terms of F1 athletes not a tub of butter in your cooler .

That 2lbs looked like a real mother****er for Canelo when he weighed in for the Floyd fight

Not as bad as Cotto but I can imagine Loma thinks it will be a battle to lose the extra 2 lbs .

2Lb is only a bag of sugar. "Get it on"!
