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

[Boxing Logic]

Would love to see this. But isn't Rigo moving up 4 points then 126, featherweight, not a catch weight? Rigo moving up 4, Loma moving down 4, means featherweight. I think they should do it at 127 personally.

BUT HE Isn't EATING GOOD. maybe gary russell jr would fight him, but LSC, and frampton would rather retire then to fight rigo.

It used to be Top Rank, but what is the excuse now? Why didn't Rigo go with Haymon? Most of the fighters he needs are down with the PBC! If you think LSC is scared of Rigo, you're crazy! Mares ain't scared of him either, and he needs a dance partner for his next fight!

You made yourself look fairly ****** with your attempted correction, and it's clear you didn't see his fight with Cordoba.

1. He wasn't ever knocked down by Cordoba. He jumped into a Cordoba jab and was knocked off balance. The ref ruled that his glove touched the canvas.

2. People who didn't see a fight can look at scores and claim a fighter sc****d by. Fact is, Cordoba hardly touched Rigondeaux in that fight. Rigondeaux could have upped his work rate though.

3. Cordoba at that point was a top five 122 pounder. Not a fringe contender.

4. Again, Rigondeaux never got dropped, and Cordoba would have to actually be hitting him to win rounds. Bad judging.

5. Rigondeaux is 5'2 1/2 maybe 5'3. He's weighed 122 pounds in the ring on fight night for some fights. He is literally the smallest guy in the 122 pound division.

You don't seem to know what you are even talking about.

That is literally what a KD is - when a punch causes your glove to touch the canvas - a Cordoba jab caused him to get knocked off balance, and his glove touched the canvas. Thanks for proving my point. Hahah, got damn there are some fools posting on this site. Yeah - just rematched the KD - Rigo walked right into a perfectly timed jab, rocked that glass chin of his, and he caught himself on the canvas with his glove (GLOVE TOUCHES CANVAS CAUSED BY PUNCH = KD).

It's been a while since I seen the fight, but I remember a terribly boring fight, in which Rigo seemed nick. Most people seem to agree he barely won the fight.

LOL you don't know what you'er talking about - Rigo has came in at 124 against Cordoba, 127 against Kennedy, and 128 against Marroquin. I can't seem to find other FN weights - but if you can show me where he came in at 122, by all means, please do so. Lomachenko comes in at 134- 136 from what I saw. So there's about 8 pounds on fight night between the two. Hardly prolific. That's about average you see between some fighters in the same weight class.

Rigo is a straight ***** who refuses to move up to 126 for big fights, yet claims he's being ducked by everyone. True - he has been swerved, but if you wanna be a TRUE POUN FOR POUND STAR - you GOTTA TAKE RISKS! May weather did it? Pacquiao did it?


There's no reason this fight can't be contested at 126 pounds, save Rigo's *****-ass-ed-ness.

Except you didn't use it in that context, you asked in a literal manner.

didn't he get knocked down

So I answered and gave you the correct information. Fools like you have been going around forums claiming Rigondeaux got put on the canvas by Cordoba.

It's been a while since I seen the fight,

You didn't see the fight period. That's why you are asking questions about it. Try watching the actual fights next time you try to discuss one of them.

Rigondeaux has stated himself on social media that he's weighed 122 on fight night for certain fights. The HBO, and Showtime fight night weights aren't official. Fighters may be weighed while clothed. Or the network may put up bogus weights to hide weight disparities, as they did in the Charlo vs Williams fight. Lomachenko has come in as high as 138 at featherweight, he did against the midget Russell Jr. There would be a likely 8 to 12 pound difference in the ring if he fought Rigondeaux. Rigondeaux doesn't rehydrate much, he likes to stay light and keep his quickness. 8-12 pounds is a sizable advantage for guys weighing in at the 126 pound limit.

Rigo is a straight ***** who refuses to move up to 126 for big fights, yet claims he's being ducked by everyone. True - he has been swerved, but if you wanna be a TRUE POUN FOR POUND STAR - you GOTTA TAKE RISKS! May weather did it? Pacquiao did it?

Except he is literally being ducked by everyone. That b!tch Santa Cruz, and that b!tch Frampton ducked him, so did that b!tch Quigg. Stop spreading false hoods. Rigs put out three options. Lomachenko declined two of them, no meet in the middle, no featherweight fight with rehydration clause, and Arum declined the last one, which was Rigs saying **** it, I'll move to featherweight just offer me proper financial compensation. Arum tried to give him the Walters treatment with a low ball, disrespectful offer, and then blamed Rigs when it wasn't accepted. Mayweather didn't risk *****. He picked and chose who he was going to fight, often avoiding the most dangerous opponents once he moved up to 140 and 147, only fighting guys when they were old, and outright ducking young prime guys like Margarito and Williams. You need to remove Lomachenko's balls from your mouth. Not only did he avoid Rigondeaux. He avoided a weight class that had better talent in it, then the one that he moved to.

The only legit point you made, is that the lower the weight, the more important discrepancy in weight is.

I've seen the Cordoba fight, mate (unfortunately)... And Rigo DID GET PUT ON HIS ARSE by Cordoba! He walked right into a stiff, perfectly timed jab, and it made him do a stanky leg, and his glove touched the canvas to prevent him from falling down.

You-re right - I used that in a literal manner/context, because HE DID LITERALLY GET KD'D by Cordoba!


I believe Rigo won the fight- he just didn't "win every round," or come close to it (which was the entire point of my making the post - because it is a lie he "won every round" before the Donaire fight.)


Yes, I said Rigo has been ducked by guys at 122. Yet at the same time, all the great pound for pound fighters HAVE MOVED UP to pursue greatness - they are willing to make sacrifices in order to get the big fights, and establish themselves.

But Rigo swerved fight offers from Walters, and Loma at 126.

Yes, fighters may have clothes on, but that would also apply to Loma. You still can't show me evidence of Rigo coming in on fight night at 122. What Rigo says, forgive me, isn't convincing.


You sound like a non-boxing fan, and just a Rigo fan. Types like you don't know SHYTE about boxing. Please, I think there's a Pac/Mayweather thread for you to reminisce on. Or a Rigo fan page. You can't take any criticism of Rigo.

[Raonic]

You lost your chance a long time ago.

[Reloaded]

A couple of pounds to guys this small is huge advantage or handicap whatever way you want to look at it, Rigo is smaller they will always want to meet in the middle somewhere, Lomo is bigger and has other fights he can take that are far less risky than fighting Rigo.

So long as fans go along with Arums BS he will continue to do what he does , Bob said fans are like dumb rocks push them any way you want them to roll , well Arum wants Lomo to roll away from Rigo and weight is an easy way just to blow the fight off.

Great fight that would be such a showcase of boxing skill yet we will never see it.

No you didn't, because Rigs never did the stanky leg. He got knocked off balance and his glove touched the ground. That was it. I already exposed you using your own words regarding you not having seen the fight you were trying to discuss. And no, he didn't literally get knocked down. There is a big diffrence between literally being knocked of balance and your glove touching the ground, and actually being knocked down to the canvas. Your trolling sucks. He didn't win the round where his glove touched the canvas, but he didn't lose more than two or three if that. What punches was Cordoba landing? That's old news anyway. Rigondeaux is about to wreck a young undefeated giant Mexican. I told you where you could look to see Rigs himself stating his fight night weight. As I said your trolling sucks, next.
