Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: I'm Ready To Fight Rigondeaux at Any Time

[The Akbar One]

it bothers me bc these fans dont want him in a fair top fight....and it is normally the "hbo" fans..bc it is obvious that is hbo's model...look at them only fightin haymon guys when the haymon guys are a huge Bside/underdog...that transfer to rigo to bc he is their enemy...
im sorry about that and i love lomo..but i dont like b1tch moves..and business decisions..dont use a gaint to devalue a great small fighter..that is doing it right as far as weight class go and not over rehydrating

agree, he has a lot of haters. If he fought at 118, he would be KOing every body. He fights at a bigger weight and doesn't rehydrate much, some fights he doesn't rehydrate at all. He is a true pound for pound type guy. Many people don't appreciate what he does, at his size deficits fight after fight.

Your post suggests that Donaire weighed around the same as Rigs (122) in the ring. That is laughable. Donaire visually looked to have at least 10 pounds on the Cuban. It literally looked like a lightweight against a bantamweight.

The rules of boxing are if you make the weight before fight night that's all that matters and they both weighed the same on the weigh in. Not all boxers re hydrate the same on fight night.

Prediction- Rigondeaux UD

Prediction = Rigo ducks the fight... Love fan boys who predict fights like it matters lol.. dude can't move up 4 pounds but is such an amazing fighter lol..Pac moved from 106 to 151 lol.. but he's probably a pos bum to you..

Why is he picking on a small guy who clearly has better opportunities and pay day waiting in his current division?
I think Lomachenko is ducking Walters and a few other guys.

i thought i recalled lomo being at clean over 135..and walters just amkes that seem low bc he goes even higher..

he usually rehydrates to 134..someone posted photos of the fight day weigh ins here before. He will have a weight advantage but a big weight disadvantage vs walters. thats why you gotta respect a guy like a loma and just shake your head at rigo. Floyd and Manny have routinely fought guys 10-15 lbs heavier than them and rigo says he is great so he should be able to fight guys 10 lbs heavier just like nonito was

floyd and manny are great, but they were not 5'3 either dude...and they also got tens of millions why rigo was only offerd 5k to fight a guy who could possibly come in at 140...and i do remember seeing lomo over 135..look another guy said 138 was his highest...and if a guy is in your weight class than u have to fight him, but if he isnt then to me it is a bit different..but shame on walters as well i dont like ppl who play that rehydration game..and i've said that time and time again...it is a cheat and it is unfair

but walters only got away with it for one fight..he was only at 140 for donaire and then he couldnt make weight

btw i just looked 138.5 for lomo vs walters....that is 12 lbs higher than rigo's normal weight..and lomo hasnt quiet proved he would take a cw or rehydration clause for the smaller fighter

[otrocubiche]

This is another fight that we'll never see and maybe for good reasons, they have about 20 fans altogether n will most likely ask for millions, loma vs walters is a little bit more realistic, but lomas camp will probably find a way not to go ahead with it.

[Blue Heffner]

Rigondeaux will price himself out...

so rigo is 5'3" and fights at 122 and Manny is 5'6" and fights at 147 so your argument is invalid. Rigo could also easily go down to 118 but he refuses to do that as well so sorry he just wants everything his way and as a non draw it doesn't work that way. There are big fights at 118 and if he walks around at 125 as he says that would be easy for him to make but he thinks everything is catered around himself smh

he hasnt refuse to move anywhere..122 is ripe for him at the moment by the way..wba has him in line with 2 top fighters and donaire wants a rematch..no one has offered him to move to 118. he does feel entitlement i guess..but when you have 2 golds and a p4p within 3 years of pro boxing u should feel that..u shouldnt let fans and networks who try to throw you under the bus win. i wouldnt...is he boring..yes? but is he the best?? the work speaks for itself...
all hbo had to do was get him dance partners..instead they made him put his career on hold and are now only inviitingh im back if a guy is 10lbs or more bigger..3 inches or more taller and just as skilled...that is some BS
