He moved up for better fights because no one would fight him at 126, so he went up to 130. Where no one would fight him either, and he went way over his head and moved up to 135 where he has the skills to beat just about anybody not named terrance crawford, but he's just way too small for that division. He could probably make 126, if not loma has been talking about moving up to 130 because he is big at 126, im sure gamboa could meet him at a catchweight even.
Lomachenko calls out Rigo and Gamboa.

So he has to eat to make 122? Sounds like Floyd and Manny do and what Cotto is doing now. I guess Rigo isn't on that level or just doesn't have the gutsYou must be trolling or just aren't aware, but Rigo had to put on weight to fight pro. He's already fighting 2 weigh classes above where he should be. He's a SMALL 122 pounder. That's like asking mayweather, who's a small 147 pounder probably a solid welterweight now though tbh to move up to 160 and fight golovkin, that's ridiculous. Rigo weighs like 128 on fight night. A person who puts on 6 pounds after the weigh in and fights at 122 being asked to move up and fight at 126. Really? Why cant loma atleast meet him half way or something at 124?

nobody want to fight him at 122, if rigo want more money and legacy i suggest he move up.You must be trolling or just aren't aware, but Rigo had to put on weight to fight pro.

Rigo's team already said they willing to fight Loma at 126 but won't throw him after a year off.
That's why haymon signing probably went off, because his team dosen't want Rigondeaux getting into long contracst so he can fight in any card, pbc, top rank, golden boy etc.
For me he should forget about Loma, there are more good fights on pbc, all top rank has to offer is Loma, and donaire who will never step in a ring with him again.Comment

I wonder if Lomachenko would come up to 130 to fight Gamboa and whether or not Rigondeaux would take a fight with Loma at 126. I think Loma has stated he won't go down in weight before.Comment

I was a huge fan of Lomachenko untill this whole Walters thing came up and they blatantly said they have no interest in fighting him at any weight since he rehydrates to a very heavy weight, that's like Floyd turning down a fight with Corrales cuz he was going to outweigh him by 10 lbs on fight night, that's ridiculous, u r a champion u shouldn't worry about rehydration weight, as long as he makes weight and he's the other best in the division u fight him, same promoter same everything.
Fight Walters!Comment

Cotto is doing the same thing. I read an article where Rigo says he walks around at 125-126 and he can easily make 118 as well but we don't see him fight there either. He only fights where he is comfortable at. Hell even Andre Ward is moving up.
And a Gamboa fight with Loma would be at 130. Gamboa had trouble making 126 at the end and now is older and hasn't made it in several years.Comment

PBC opponents or Top Rank opponents would work. He just needs fights. Top Rank also has Murriaga who gave Walters a good fight. Donaire said he wants the rematch.Rigo's team already said they willing to fight Loma at 126 but won't throw him after a year off.

PBC has a lot of good featherweights just not sure they would fight him either.Comment
