Nope.
BoxingScene.com caught up with Egis Klimas to get an update on the status of a potential fight between two-time Olympic gold medalists Vasyl Lomachenko and Guillermo Rigodeaux. Lomachenko is the WBO featherweight titleholder while Rigondeaux holds the WBO and WBA's super bantamweight belts. Rigondeaux's team accepted Klimas' (who manages Lomachenko) proposition for the historic showdown but with the condition that the fight take place at a catchweight of 124 pounds with a maximum rehydration clause of 134 pounds.Comment

No it wasn't. I remember that sky sports article and saying they're always wrong. That quote was from rigos manager who he was about to fire. Everyone was all excited for no reason

Rigo is a very small man in height thickness and his overall frame.
Lomo by bell time would have 15-20 pounds on him and strength is not part of Rigo's game! He makes 118 easily and 126 with a rehydrate clause is what the guy needs. If he fights at 126 my guess is he's in shape at 124 at the most. The guys like 5'4" Lomo at 126 adds 15lbs by bell time easily.
A bantam vs a junior welter is what it would be. Not a fare fight.

No he didnt.
Hyde said that Klimas initially rejected a catchweight but agreed to a rehydration clause. However after speaking to Lomachenko himself Klimas then came back and rejected both.
TBH I doubt Klimas actually agreed to anything. He probably agreed to speak to Loma about it and Hyde span itComment

Rigondeaux IS too small for Lomachenko, I've been saying that before the fight looked viable, I don't know how anyone can argue that.Comment

Yeah I remember that. And I'm sure there was a follow-up article where Lomachenko did agree to it.No it wasn't. I remember that sky sports article and saying they're always wrong. That quote was from rigos manager who he was about to fire. Everyone was all excited for no reason

I don't think there should be a rehydration clause anyway. I doubt you would be waving your pom poms for it if Golovkin asked Ward for one.
For some reason Rigo is allowed to play these games without getting criticised.Comment

Lomachenko says in this video that they agreed to the rehydration clause which was 10 pounds.No he didnt.
Hyde said that Klimas initially rejected a catchweight but agreed to a rehydration clause. However after speaking to Lomachenko himself Klimas then came back and rejected both.
