Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux's Trainer Wants Lomachenko Fight at Catch-Weight

[EL_GRINGO]

Yeah true,but Rigo is too small for 130 in my opninion,and you know the excuses will come if Loma beats him at 130,so it's not worth it at 130 if he isn't gonna get props for it.i like the mikey garcia fight better too,Loma vs an active Gamboa is another good one,Loma vs Linares,i do want too see the fight but i doubt it is gonna happen,you know Arum will not be too happy about making the fight,weak of Rigondeaux though,it was made at 124 with rehydration clause and he walked away when everything was ready,think he wants it know because he has nowhere else to go

Sorry Rigo, that ship sailed! I do agree that what Arum did to Rgo, after he dominated Donaire, was very disrespectful! HBO was just as disrespectful! That being said, there is an abundance of talent @ 126! FIGHT! Pick one: Gary Russell Jr., Carl Frampton, Abner Mares, LSC, Lee Selby, Oscar Valdez, Jesus Cuellar! You should be eatin' real good right now!

Arum thought that Donaire would beat Rigo. Even before the fight we saw Donaire's lackluster performance against C Level Boxers. That when he fought Rigo he struggled against the Cuban.

Fuentes is gonna be a tough opponent for a 36 yrs.old, or even older Rigondeaux.

Rigo is only 5'3". Loma is bigger and younger, and he can fight Mickey Garcia this year.

Yeah i think Loma will move up too 135 and fight Garcia too,will be a great fight

[The Akbar One]

didn't Rigo turn this fight down when Loma was 126?

No, Loma wouldn't agree to a catchweight, or. an alternative rehydration clause if Rigs fought him at featherweight. Then Arum scuttled Rigs just moving up by not making a serious offer. Recall Loma coming in real heavy against Russell. Rigs was right to ask for a weight stipulation.

[Derranged]

Loma is a scared chump like every other euro bum.

This fight should happen at 126 . Two olimpics gold medal fighting?? Never happened before... Loma weights 136 fight night and rigo 126 ... no excuses at 126 , both can make the weight .
This is a f ... great fight ... must happen.....
Rigo by schooling Loma , Ud ... rigo beats him ....

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

Should have accepted the offer last year. Rigo is not in a position to go demanding catchweights.

,weak of Rigondeaux though,it was made at 124 with rehydration clause and he walked away when everything was ready,think he wants it know because he has nowhere else to go

False. There was never a serious offer made by Arum. And there was never a catchweight plus rehydration clause. Suggestions were a 124 pound catchweight, or fight at featherweight with a rehydration clause, so that Loma couldn't blow up to 138 like he did with Russell Jr. Rigs actually said he would fight him at 126 if Arum made a serious offer. Arum tried to do Rigs like he did Walters though and Rigs wasn't going for it.

Arum should have made a serious offer.
