Loma and Rigo words exchanged on twitter

[Derranged]

Rigo some time ago said he tries but cannot put up weight. Some people really cannot put weight anymore once they reach to a certain mass. I think Rigo is fat as he can be even at 122. He already looks like some 122lbs fitness guy.
I also experienced that, skinny people stay as they are.

Interesting. If that's the case then the fight never really had a chance.

If he gains 2lbs he can't race horses any more.

It's sad to say bc I'm a long time Rigo fan and believe he has/had HOF talent, but he is pretty irrelevant now. I'm not saying what happened to him has been fair but the truth is that he is pretty obscure now.

He fights once a year, he's with a terrible promotion team, he hasn't had a relevant fight in almost 5 years and in his chance to renew interest on a big card he fought maybe his worst and most boring fight against an overmatched opponent. He never had a broad enough fan base, I can't see how he can really gain any new ones and he has lost many old ones.

im not saying you are wrong...but

it doesnt matter

rigos name and skill level holds weight amongst the hardcore boxing fans....and always will...as long as hes active and winning....and the hardcore boxing fans are all that matter when you are talking about a rigo/loma matchup

for instance..does rigo/loma do less viewers than loma/salido 2? nope...prob about the same...rigos "relevancy" doesnt matter.....casuals aint checking for rigo or loma

There is no reason for Loma to take this fight. It would be a step backwards.

A fight with Rigo is guaranteed to be a stinker. Part of Loma's marketability is that he is exciting to watch. No fighter with that kind of marketing angle wants to be in a stinker.

Beating Rigo would mean absolutely nothing to anyone apart from a fringe of Rigo's most rusted on fans. He is old and he is too small. Loma would get no credit.

Even worse if he had to lose weight to make the fight.

So for Loma:
* zero credit (except amongst a deluded fringe)
* missed chance to take on a real fight
* low paying fight
* screwing with going up and down weight
* guaranteed stinker; causing:
- reduced future marketability
- reduced future opportunities
- reduced future paypackets

The world is Loma's oyster. He is on track to be this generation's greatest, and there are fights which will lift him up there - like Mikey Garcia to begin with. A Rigo fight would be just plain ******.

Holly ****, you even more scare that Lomachenko is of Rigo.

You wrote like the bible of excuses

[el_locoteee]

Why is Rigo even talking? We already have enough information about why this fight didn't happen and it's totally his fault.

Rigo kept making one excuse after another. First it was the weight, then it was the money, then the rehydration clause then he wanted a catchweight and it was one thing after another. Whereas Loma just wanted to sign the contract and fight. We have those articles on boxingscene where his manager at the time, Gary Hyde was the one negotiating.

So he missed his opportunity and now Loma's profile is so much greater than Rigo's, he also has a better resume, and yes he is the A-side and has no reason to even consider moving back to 126 to fight him.

If he wanted Loma, he should've accepted the contract last year.

Yes we have enough information and the only thing that stop the fight from happening was Bob Arum and his weak as offer.

Every term was agree until Bob send that contract with some laughable numbers. And then Loma move on to fight the worst belt holder of the 130 lbs after taking the VACANT 126 lbs belt from another "never fought anyone" paper champion and will move to 135 to fight most likely Flanagan the worst 135 lbs champ for the once Again Top Rank, sorry WBO belt.

If you think Loma is scared of anyone, then you don't know shit about boxing.

He's up for taking on real threats - which does not include ancient, ugly, alien-looking midgets.

Seriously, is there an uglier boxer on the planet than Rigo?

[TheUptownKid]

I love both fighters. I wish we would have gotten to see this fight.

Without a doubt it would have been the most pure skill and talent in the ring at the same time.

Agreed. So many so called fans just want blood and guts and don't appreciate the artistry of boxing. This would've been an awesome fight and I for one would have enjoyed it.

[g27region]

Stop it.....just stop it.

Stop it? You better tell that old Cuban mummy to stop it, he was the one who was on the video saying Loma is too big for my small ass

[GOAT_Ali]

Rigo needs to STFU and do something with his career. Sitting back at 122 and doing nothing....Then using the excuse that this guy and that guy won't fight me....

Loma wants a challenge. Rigo does not.
