Comments Thread For: Lomachenko Rejects Rehydration Clause For Rigondeaux

[NEETzsche]

well, to be fair, rehydration causes are almost unheard of in boxing. in fact i'm fairly sure that the concept was invented by mayweather haters on nsb

hopefully the money will be incentive enough

Hyde said both rehydration and catchweight at first. Lomas team said no to catchweight but ok to rehydration. Rigos team said OK. Then Lomas team backed out and said they want full 126 with no RH clause.

Lomas have made themselces look worse than they should by agreeing then backtracking

"Floyd Mayweather Sr., father and trainer for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs), says his some should not even consider a potential fight with WBA/IBO middleweight champion and KO sensation Gennady “GGG” Golovkin – unless a rehydration clause is involved. Golovkin is willing to come down to the junior middleweight limit of 154-pounds for a fight with Mayweather.
Mayweather Sr. has no problem with the proposed weight, but he does have a problem with Golovkin rehydrating the following day to super middleweight or above.
He wants a rehydration clause that would hold Golovkin close to the “contract weight.”
“If I was Floyd, I would tell him to hold the weight until the fight. Fight at 154, 150 and make sure that he holds that weight the next day,” Mayweather Sr. said."

i'm talking about the canelo fight. that was the first time i'd ever heard of a rehydration cause. the porter-broner fight was the first time that i'd seen one actually be discussed by people involved in boxing. i hope it doesn't become the new catchweight, it's essentially a regression to the same day weigh-ins that were once banned for safety reasons

If its too much of a size mismatch dont make it fk it. Dude is 5'3 rehydrates to a whoping 125 pounds fight night and he is in his 30s. Id say he is already well enough over his limit weight wise. Without even mentioning the height disadvantage. There's money to be made elsewhere . Rigo would be ****** to be put at a disadvantage on every single thing for money, but that being said if he is ever going to fight Lomachenko and get a decisive W over him that will only get better looking over time the time is now.

I guess no guts no glory is the only reason I see for him to even be thinking of chasing this dude over his physical limit. Gotta admire the balls, but the brains of it...not so much.

Yet another pointless, drawn-out discussion about a fight that has zero chance of happening.

Loma team respond to BOTH catchweight and rehydration clause was primarily negative. You shouldn't mixed up with facts.
Although I think Loma should meet rehydration clause demand for THIS fight. 124lb wouldn't be fair for Loma as he'd be like zombie but 134 at fifgt night could be done easily without the lose of anything

Obviously they want full 126 with no RH clause, that goes without saying. But they had an agreement and had started moving on to different aspects of the negotiations, now team Lomachenko is backtracking. They are well within their rights to do it but its just not a good look

[Dirk Diggler UK]

So now a fighter is a duck or a primadonna for wanting to fight at a full weight class with no rehydration clauses.

He's following the rules of boxing! What an arrogant ducking fraud!

[MC Hammer]

Rigo plans to sign with Haymon where Mares, Sanata Cruz, Frampton, Russell Jr and a few 122 fighters already are. If Loma's team doesn't want to make any concessions, then he really doesn't need to take the fight.

This is Arum trying to lower the guy's stock, putting him behind the 8-Ball in the fight. I hope he waits, or leaves it alone altogether. No need to screw yourself over for one pay day.
