Rigo's trainer says Rigo ready for Loma at 126, no rehydration clause necessary.

[Hatesrats]

Probably true. There are no recent interviews with Lomachenko where he's asked about Rigo. He is probably being told not to mention it.

What will be most telling, is if Max Kellerman poses the question of a Lomachenko fight to Rigo this Saturday. If he fails to bring up Loma to Rigo, you know both TR and HBO are in on it.

Good call.

Rigo is all out of options at this point...damn shame

He's only "out of options" because no will step up to the plate to fight him

He'll take any fight at all trying to cash out....and by cash out I mean he'd be lucky to get 500k to fight anyone at this point.

No, Floyd Mayweather is cashing out with that circus act of a fight. Rigo simply wants recognition for his achievements and talent... Something that every other fighter in boxing history has got...

Great fight if Loma is still willing to do 126...but seeing how he is building himself up for 135 I don't see how he would want to shed all that muscle for a single fight then rebuild again.

I don't think he'd be shedding a lot of muscle, and why would he want to come back down in weight? I dunno, maybe to prove that he's truly the best, and wants to fight the best, something which he has been very vocal about from the start.... He came on to the scene and wanted to only fight the best fighters with no filler in between...

Rigondeaux is a legacy making fight for Lomachenko. Why the wouldn't Loma want it

Listen I want this fight, but as people say, in the pros its a business first.

Rigo had every opportunity to fight Loma but he passed on it.

He is out of options because his promoters did nothing for him, man fought twice in the last 2 years...How is this going to build momentum and get recognition. People don't know who Rigo is...

He is a super high risk fighter but his handlers did nothing to position him so that fighters couldn't avoid him.

He is still an exceptional talent and my personal top 3 lb4lb, but his career is a joke.

Bad luck, bad promoters, bad everything. Networks don't want to see him.

Loma got nothing to prove in fighting the best, he is trying to do that and is doing it, he's trying to go after Garcia ffs...which I think is too early for him and a bad fight...

Loma is the A side, Loma is a name now.....people who don't even know boxing talk about him because someone sent them a youtube video (true story).

Rigo could have fought him before...

But now this is Rigos only chance to make some money. No one wants to fight him, no one wants to see him and Loma is the only possible fight because of the hole four gold medals between them and Loma wanting to fight him to prove his level.

At this point Rigo needs Loma not the other way around.

I'd like to see it, but honestly I think that ship has sailed and rigo's side ruined it. Not many care now. I'd love to see the fight, but back when lomachenko was already at 126

Wait...floyd is cashing out? LMAO! Man, you're ****ing ******.

[boliodogs]

Why now when Loma has moved up to 130. If they had made this offer when Loma was at 126 maybe the fight could have happened. I think it's too late now.

I am one of the like 4 Rigo fans here and you are 100% correct.


A couple years ago Rigo wanted a CW of 124 IIRC but why is he ready for 126 for Loma is likely moving to 135 soon?


It's a shame Rigid career was wasted by Caribe.

[j.razor]

No one cares about Boringodeaux except for the 5 hardcore fans or people who has insomnia.

I can tell you never watched him fight. Don't repeat bob, it makes you look bad.....

[j.razor]

You can blame bob arum for the fight not happening in the first place & after he whooped nonito donair bob wont risk loma now.

Still no response from Lomachenko's camp on a potential Rigo fight. C'mon now.

... that ship had sailed long ago...
