Comments Thread For: Arum on Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux: That's a **** Fight!

[richardt]

Transparent cowardice. Just like all promoters though. Their only concern is preserving the cash cow and will belittle a dangerous opponent just to convince the gullible fans that it's not worth making the fight.

HBO wont show Rigo after the Agbeko debacle and Arum has nothing going with Showtime so who would carry the fight?

Rigo is still oane of the most feared in the sport even through his inactive and not getting any younger.

wow..just wow.....

Arum openly ducking that fight and people claiming Rigo is ducking. It's just insane here.

I don't get it. Last year when they were having small discussions for this fight people were calling Loma a coward for even thinking about fighting Rigo. But now people want to see it?
Make up your mind people.

I don't think the fight is happening anymore. Rigo doesn't even want to fight at 126 and I don't think Arum wants Loma at 126 right now that Valdez is down there.
He's going to try to build them up separately for the time being.

wasn't he on the hbo cotto vs Canelo undercard? Either way, I doubt hbo would turn down a Loma vs rigo fight. They just televised Ortiz vs Scott for God's sake.

"avenged" not "revenged." Thought ArScum went to Harvard. DIE ARUM DIE DIE DIE DIE

Arum ain't lying about that, pretty sure Lomachenko wins but pretty sure that fight can only go the way of a dud. A dud fought at a high level but a dud none the less.

It would be an unbelievable fight the skills on display are as good as it gets , what is wrong with you guys for pure boxing it would be magical and things can happen so fast 1-2-3 all over , so that possibility at any moment puts you on the edge of the seat enthralled , its a great fight .

Entertainment is way more than slugfests , Arum just effectively gave a wide birth to Rigo who is probably the only guy in the world that could possibly out box Lomo .

We will put him with guys that are slow and keep winning , no problems Bob I see where youre coming from .

Yeah like the Walters fight wasn't a dud.

God that was worse than Walters Lomachenko

I want to know what is exciting about Rigo standing without throwing punches and without dodging punches because his opponent wouldn't throw.
Rigo put himself in the position he's in.
