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

[darius45]

Well, I pretty much figured this would happen... In boxing, dream fights for the most part remain dreams...

I doubt Rigo will accept the fight at 126, or if he does but wants a re-hydration limit, Loma will then refuse that... So this sucks... Oh well... Both Rigo AND Loma can go piss off and fight **** opposition....

[SchoolTheseCats]

Yep. Catchweights are for guys not confident in their ability to beat other fighters. In other words, catchweights are terrible for boxing.


Loma is ready, Rigo is making excuses and looking for all kinds of way to get an advantage. I will call it a duck SINCE he has absolutely no one to fight at 122 and he's absolutely irrelevant. Fighting Loma would be a career payday and would be one of the only realistic fights that could be a "legacy" fight for him..... Ya'know, since his career consists of fighting Nonito Donaire and nobody else.


Rigo needs Loma. But the fight will not happen because Rigo is not ready for the challenge. IMHO

So triple G ducking ward ok gotcha

[MDPopescu]

It's a FW title fight, so need for a rehydration clause so long as both men make 126.

Ask Mayweather why............................................... ................

[W1LLPARK3R]

Hope Loma takes the 135 rehydration clause..I think hed be too young and big for Rigo..

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Didn't Lomo pull the same stunt on Walters??

I didn't hear a peep since he would be fighting a bigger featherweight like Walters but it's cool for Lomo to blow up to 140 against other smaller fighters?

Even if Rigo fights Lomo at 126. Arum won't make it happen, top rank is dead man they don't have anybody. All we will see Lomo fight is nothing but bums on PPV undercards on Latin fury and hear Arum talk like Lomochenko is the next Mayweather haha

That was exactly the point of HandzBooger's and mine. Loma refused to fight Walters cause Walters is "too big". So, he should understand how Rigo feels and agree to the rehydration clause, right?

[PittyPat]

I'm with Lomachenko and his team on this one. If Rigondeaux is that good, and he's got no other dance partner (meaning: all the fucking time), then he should move up for a serious challenge. Hamed was the same height, 5ft 4, and did just the same by moving up from 118/122 to 126.

And just so that I don't get any "double standards" accusations: Lomachenko should fight Walters at 126 with no rehydration clause (can't forever be salty about Salido), Golovkin should move up to 168 to face Ward or Froch, and Ward should move up to 175 to face Kovalev or Stevenson.

Loma ducked Walters cause Walters in his las fight made 127 , Loma got beat by salido and he cried that salido was to big ... Ha ha . Now he wants the tiny , small , rigo to go up ??? Ha ha .
Ok , rigo should take it at 126 for lomas title , but Loma shouldn't weight more than 10 pounds , fight night .... Fear right ??
Or they should have the weight in the same day of the fight , like in the Olympics games ... Both are olimpics right ? They are used to that .

My man rigo will beat , Loma , at 122 or 126 , all the way .....

Loma , Walters say he wants to fight you , but you are crying for just one pound ...ha ha ha .

Go rigo , fight at 126 and beat him .... Salido knows how ...

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

[Cuban Linx]

126 with a rehydration clause seems the most fair. If you're worried about Lomachenko blowing up after making weight then I think it's fair to ask for that. That doesn't seem like it would be a big deal especially if it's only like 10 lbs. But I think asking him to cut the extra 2 lbs on top of that is pushing it.

[lazaron72]

What's up Loma ?? Walters wants you at 127 ,,, why not ? Ha ha .

Salido wants a rematch at 128 , catch weight ?? Ha ha .

Rigondeaux will school you , weight in fight day , olimpics style , and rigo will expose you .... Wait , salido did already .....

Hit and not be hit ....

[Loque-san]

That banana rat rigo is a puss. Rehydration clauses are for weak ass minded fighters

Canelo-Angulo had a rehydration clause... hahahaha
