    If the fights going to happen, his ass is going up to 130. Because Lomachenko calls all the shots. He's the champion, he's the one with HBO backing. Rigondeaux can't even get a fight on another network let alone on HBO. He hasn't fought since July and there's no schedule fight on the horizon.

    Besides, he had his opportunity and he passed it up like the little coward that he is. Where is he now btw? Who is he fighting next? No one knows because he's irrelevant. It doesn't matter which promotional company he goes to, no one is paying to watch him stink up the joint. I know Roc Nation tried desperately to get him on the Kovalev Ward undercard but HBO said no, and for good reason because the last time he was on he participated in the worst fight of the year against some car salesman from the Philippines. So they're not going to allow him to fight again on their network unless someone with some clout gives him an opportunity.

    What he should do is get on his knees and beg King Lomachenko for forgiveness and hope that the king is merciful enough to allow him an opportunity on HBO.
    Why the rant?..And why do you think loma calls the shots..Anyways,didnt rigo say lets have a cathweight?

      Oh HELL yea!!! I'm more of a fan of Loma's style than Rigo but I still have a TON of respect for Rigo's abilities and, if he's sincere about fighting Loma (which seems consistent with his character) then bravo to him.
      War Chacal!!

        he asked for a catch weight. I see nothing wrong with him wanting to making things a little more fair. meet at 124 and call it a day.

        It would be a match between two extremely skilled technicians. Id pay to see it.

            what makes you think rigo has any leverage.if he wants the fight that badly then he can always move up.no catch weights 130 or bust.rigo is still as delusional as ever I see.

              Rigo could've moved up to 126 to fight Loma, that's one weight class against a prospect and he refused. Rigo's fault this didn't happen, sorry chap.

                Uh-oh. Dream fight time.

                There isn't much weight separating them. This I want to see. Make it happen!!

                    I wish Rigo didn't surroundd himself with the worst team in the sport and fights like Loma, LSC, Frampton were actual possibilities instead of nothing with the occasional Jazzy ****ens slipped in

                      Out of these 2 options give me the Rigo fight all day.

                      Russell is a good fighter but honestly I don't see any reason for a rematch unless he gets some big wins himself before it happens.

                      I won't hold my breath on a Rigo/Loma fight though because of the weight difference now. It's definetly still possible but I think it was more likely to get made a year ago then it is now.

                      If it happens I got Loma by decision
