[HanzGruber]

Loma is still gonna duck him. Don't want Walters to be ten pounds bigger but will gladly fight rigo when he'll be 10 pounds smaller lol. ***ing joke

so i'm' supposed to be ******? im not supposed to put 1 and 1 together when h hear someone complaining about rehydration?

http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/p...n-from-walters
this man says eeven if he did have a belt or make the weight his rehydration would still be too much...

wat does taht tell you?? bye dude..u're setting road blocks..a 30 day weigh in is all they need..if walters takes one more fight at 126 and makes the weight doesnt mean he'll make it next time...MAKE THE FIGHT WHILE U CAN..NO FAN SHOULD BE CRYING ABOUT MAKING A ***ING FIGHT THE WAY U ARE

No it doesn't and neither does a 30 day weigh-in. It would certainly give more credence to the idea that he can make 126 if he actually proves it.

He can also win back his belt and at least it would give Lomachenko a chance to fight for the vacant belt if he failed weight.

Why should Lomachenko do a whole training camp only for him to fail weight again and then fight him with nothing to gain from it?

even if he had a belt he'd rehydated too much..even if he made weight he'd rehydrate too much... this is lomo's team tellin u this...that increases the chances that they will ask for a rehydration clause..if it was not an issue it would not be spoken of...end of story

and like i said lomo has defended twice against ppl we did not care to see..we did not ask them to win belts first..this fight does not need 2 belts..it need 2 men and 4 fist..bye

If you don't bother to make the weight then you are more likely to rehydrate more. Pretty elementary stuff.

I don't blame Lomachenko's team for wanting a fair fight especially after what happened with Salido

god help you that lomo doesnt fight another guy who has missed weight before...
god help u that lomo doesnt miss weight himself
smh

at the end of the day it is not guaranteed that anyone will make weight..i dont see that stopping him from fightin anybody else..these are excuse and ppl like you are accepting htem..his punishment ws losing his belt..he lost it ok so wat he won the fight he's still the ring champ if im not mistaken

The only ***ing joke is your obvious double standard making it okay for one bigger fighter to fight a smaller one but not another bigger fighter to fight a smaller one.

no more of that jamaican kush kush maaan

Can you post a link to that quote as soon as you've stopped having a b1tch-fit? I don't remember them asking for rehydration clauses either - you must be thinking of Rigondeaux.

30 day weigh-ins are done for most fights, that doesn't guarantee that a fighter will make weight.

The only one who put a spanner in the works for this fight was the unprofessional Walters who "partied too hard" and missed weight.

Lol, c'mon, that can't be an excuse. You know it damn well and we all know it. You can't pull out from a fight against a guy in you division based on "He missed weight last time, what if he does it already". I didn't see fighters make this excuse so far. I hope Lomachenko takes this fight. Walters stays in 126 so he is in his weight class and plays by the same rules as everyone else in it, he is no special exception just brcause he missed weight one time. Period.

Because like it or not dude, they are in the same weight class dude and Walters is the most serious opponent in this weightclass by far.
Based on your logic nobody should fight Walters now at 126 because he once missed weight. Can't see why this "don't fight him unless he proves on his next fight that he can still make the weight." would only apply to Lomachenko. With the same effort why an other featherweight should test the waters for Lomachenko? You can't be serious. You basically say either that if someone misses weight once he may not return in that weight class ever, which is a BS OR that in this situation an other fighter should test the waters for Lomachenko to see if Walters can still make the weight or not.
Please go away with this ****...
there are multiple sanctions which can be used if a fighter doesn't make weight but the fact that he once missed it is not an excuse to pull out from the fight.

he's probably going to have to prove it before team lomachenko take him at his word. i guess cuellar is his best option to quickly recapture a belt, what with russell jr being on pbc and selby probably holding the ibf hostage for a while
