Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Rejects Rehydration Clause For Rigondeaux

[SchoolTheseCats]

As far as I know Lomachenko hasn't asked for any rehydration clause to fight Walters. The fight would be at 126 as it should be.

He said he not fighting Walters period he blows up to much after weighin and doesn't have a belt no more

No he didn't. Read the quotes.

Well I'm speaking for myself and Salido didn't make weight which was unprofessional. I don't really care what he rehydrated to. He didn't strain himself to make weight.

Don't you find it hypocritical that you're supporting Rigondeax's weight demands yet are ****ting on Golovkin for his?

Golovkin is dying to fight froch and jcc at 168 but ward at 164. If rigo was one signature away from fighting Walters at 126 then I'd be a hypocrite

No....you're still a hypocrite. Rigondeaux would snap Hearn's hand off to fight Lee Selby at featherweight.

I'm a Lomachenko fun since 2011, but this **** is totally ridiculous. Why didn't Loma talk about rules when he was given a title shot in his 2nd fight and in the next fight after loss?
This is very rare fight. There have never been a fight between two all-time grear amateur boxers. If Loma-Rigo fight doesn't happen because of the Loma's "rule demands", Loma will be a total *******.

Rigo is small for his weight & seemingly everyone knows this so Loma not either agreeing to a catchweight or a rehydration max weight is him saying he don't want the fight cuz he'd probably lose basically to me. He knows if he's gonna win he's gonna need to use his superior weight advantage. Or he's just being difficult cuz he knows this is a tough ass fight he might lose & letting this fight sit for another year or two til he's got more pro experience, Rigo's gotten a lil older & his chances to win this fight whatever the conditions are much greater.

Asking a fighter to move up to your weight is now considered ducking?

fight's never gonna happen, bob will never risk another cash cow to rigo.
rigo already agreed to 126 and even if rigo agrees to no rehydration clause, there still will be another excuse, i'm sure loma would like to fight him but he'd never be allowed to do it.

How is fighting at an actual weight class with no rehydration clauses now considered an "excuse"?

Confused! Why not just fight Walters and make it clear that if he misses weight then the fight is off? Walters barely missed weight after a long layoff, that is much closer in weight compared to trying to fight a very little guy in Rigondeaux then not willing to meet him half way with a Rehydration clause

LOL some people seem relieved now that this fight might not happen

Anyway if no Rigondeaux vs Loma then Rigondeaux vs Quigg is just as Big if not Bigger in the 122 Division
