Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko still needs to happen! Don't let it die!

[darius45]

At this point Rigondeaux should get on his knees and beg Lomachenko for forgiveness.

Lomachenko has greatness in mind, that's why his next fight is against Nicholas Walters.

Who's Rigondeaux fighting? We hear it's some guy called Moises Flores but we have no confirmation when the fight is going to take place and on what network.

Rigondeaux had his opportunity to seek greatness but he *****ed out and asked for more money because apparently $500K was too low for him.

But I'm going to be paying close attention to see how much he's getting against Moises Flores. If it's less than $500k, it would confirm that he *****ed out and ducked Loma.

He's irrelevant until proven otherwise.

No, Rigo should be the MOST relevant fighter on Loma's mind. It's his biggest challenge. Rigo is the most talented guy Loma will probably ever face in his boxing career EVEN IF he were to face Crawford one day (who is not on Rigo's level)...

Put yourself in Rigo's shoes...your a once in a lifetime talent... everybody is afraid to lose to you so no one fights you... meanwhile, much less talented fighters are getting bigger paychecks but yet you're supposed to accept smaller money!... I can see why Rigo would be frustrated.

Now, look at the Walters situation. Didn't Walters originally turn down the Loma fight because the money wasn't right. That fight got made. So it's possible that Arum can dig a little deeper into his pockets and make this fight... It's incumbent upon Loma to insist on this fight to his management, because we all know Arum would be perfectly happy if this fight never got made

I hope that's the case because I still really wanna see this fight.

But Lomachenko seems to have moved on. He has a lot of options at 130, one of the more stacked divisions in boxing. As for Rigondeaux, Frampton is the best option. I think he schools Frampton, but he's not getting any younger and he needs to make these big fights happen soon.

Who is Loma's biggest challenge at 130, Gamboa? Gamboa is no Rigo. Even with Loma's weight advantage, Rigo would still be the harder fight. But yes, Rigo is getting older and Loma is getting bigger... it's now or never for this fight.

I wish the Frampton fight already happened and in the UK, then Rigo would of got the exposure he deserved and the Loma fight would be bigger.

No one is a bigger challenge than Rigo, but Lomachenko has plenty of exciting potential fights at 130 to keep him busy like Walters. And a remarch with Salido and other top names like Vargas, Miura, Corrales, and Uchiyama.

Maybe is should happen but it won't happen. Rigo will not be pushed around. He will fight any boxer in the world at 122 pounds and no more and no less. He is the man at 122 and he has been the man at 122 for years. They can come up to 122 to fight him or they can come down to 122 to fight him. He is staying at 122 and ruling it with his iron fists. Tough **** if anybody doesn't like it.

Obviously Loma could never come down to 122. They could meet at 126. The weight wasn't an issue in the last round of negotiations, it was the money.

Those are great fights and I want to see the Salido rematch, but still, I think fans should be pressing for the Rigo fight, because it's a once in a lifetime sort of event that will never happen again.

Rigo isn't any less "boring" than Floyd in the ring. It's the fault of promoters and fighters not willing to step up that Rigo isn't a bigger star.

Rigo vs Loma is a clash of masters in the art of boxing. Should be the number one fight for every true boxing fan.
