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

[BrometheusBob.]

WHY does anyone wanna see this mismatch? Loma is WAY too big for Rigo. Please move on there are lots of other matchups for both fighters.

I feel like I'm being too nice to him.
Yeah, Walters wanted to be a little diva because he knew people would blame Loma just like they always do. But in the end he is only making 50,000 more than the original offer. Sounds like a super intelligent guy.
If the Rigo fight happens cool but I don't want Loma's team to pursue it. Rigo doesn't have much time left and his team is only wasting it by waiting and waiting.
And Loma will not lose to Rigo. I'm super confident in that. There's a reason why Rigo and his team don't want it although they pretend they do.

Also you need to remember
Rigo Demands:

124 lbs catchweight- check
Rehydration clause - check
700,000 dollars for rigo - check

Rigo Backs out and said "NOOOO Not enough moneh for me!" after Loma team agreed to all of his demands.

Also you need to remember
Rigo Demands:

124 lbs catchweight- check With No Rehydration clause
Rehydration clause - check With 126 No catchweight with both accepted
700,000 dollars for rigo - check False. WHEN? It was 500k

Rigo Backs out and said "NOOOO Not enough moneh for me!" after Loma team agreed to all of his demands.

that would be a great fight. Gamboas a real classy fighter, even with a huge size difference he gave crawford problems.

I don't think that will happen, Bob Arum will not make the same Donaire mistake.

He protected Juamma before and only wanted to trow Gamboa to bigger fighters like Rios and after the breakup Crawford. Loma present no physical or speed advantage vs Gamboa and he will not take that risk.

Both fighters can still meet at 126. It's the best matchup in the sport bar none. For the first time maybe in boxing history you have a super slick fast technically sound white guy vs a super slick, fast technically sound black guy...Both class acts. Both 2 time gold Olympians... It would be the biggest test of each guy's career. It solidifies the winner a preeminent place in the annals of boxing history.

But the fight needs to get done now before Loma becomes too big.

Bar none? false.

Kov/Ward and Fury/Ortiz are better.

But it is a great fight, and one I've been waiting for. One we deserve as fans.

Rigo should've moved up when he had the chance. Loma has moved on.

Just because negotiations failed first time through doesn't mean you give up. As long as Loma can make 126 which he still can, the fight is still a possibility... and you don't move on from a once in a lifetime fight. Loma prides himself on taking on the biggest challenges...there is no bigger challenge than Rigo....and there will probably never be a bigger challenge in his career... which is why it's so imperative to make this fight now.

This is the kinda of fight hardcore fans should be salivating over.

That ship has sailed. Loma is a big mofo already talking about 135

rigo's career appears to be dead that's for sure.there's been no word about his next fight.rigo refused to move up he wanted no part of loma.loma would have beaten him.

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.

boxing is in bad shape right now....

loma is being fast tracked to the 140-147lb division in order to take advantage of a deep and notable division if all the players that CAN be ACTIVE are activated:

return of floyd jr
pacquiao still there
marquez is still lurking around

that's 3 first ballot hall of fame ATGs.....

in the same division...

then you got in prime fighters who maybe arent top echelon future ATGs but are respectable young champs and contenders who have notoriety, and have fought named guys that can make for a great fight:

crawford
maidana
berto
ortiz
porter
thurman
garcia
spence
bradley
mathyysse
khan

there needs to be a super six welterweight tournament....

despite the crap boxing has been this year and over the years,

it still has so much potential....

that's nothing.

this is boxing.

fighters come back from retirement all the time....

Loma is too big for Rigo. He has/had a great respect for him also, called him a Master in one of his old interviews.

[Zaroku]

I like both fighters. I'd love to see this match up happen. I don't know and am to lazy to look up the size differential, but it would be advanced calculus.
