Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Ready For Lomachenko at 126 or Catch-Weight

Wheres the dare to be great crowd at? Rigo should skip 126, no CW and fight Loma at 130lbs...

I think this fight could happen at 127/128 - from the fighter's willingness point of view but I don't see how the finances can be done unless ROC guarantee Rigo a purse.

This fight though, if not promoted by ROC [who seemingly don't have a clue] but by Arum, could have some serious cross-over appeal.

Rigo's talent is disgusting, clearing divisions and bordering divisions. Hope he can stay active.

Clearing a division and not divisions,he's been fighting at the same weight since 17,his talent is disgustingly good yes

There are no excuses i mentioned,only facts.....
I favor Loma to beat Guillermo but this is a very high level fight,could go either way....

Once again we are in 100% agreement. I've got Lomo, but at this level the outcome is unpredictable. Probably a moot point anyway. I don't see this fight coming about.

Not gonna happen. Rigo is a tiny guy who could easily drop down to 118. 126 is pushing it, and 130 is practically out of the question.

I would be shocked if this fight ever happens, at any weight. I think Lomo would've seriously considered it when he was still at 126. Seems to me that ship has sailed.

It will have happen very soon or it will never happen,my dream is they ditch the Salido rematch and Fight Rigo instead,i'm sure Vasyl would like that more because he's all about legacy and Rigo would love that fight too,these guys are ying and yang,made for each other.Maybe now that Toprank will televise on Espn it can happen

I was saying that,Roc should guarantee him a purse and get it done

I agree,it has too be competitive and fair,else there's no reason to make this fight because Loma wouldn't get the props,the fights has to be done correctly

I couldn't be happier if this fight gets done. I just don't see it happening. Too many issues in the way. The one thing that gives us a glimmer of hope is what you alluded to, the fighters' desire to prove themselves versus the very best.

Must see tv.....two of the highest skill fighters in this modern era going at it. Damn can't wait....make it happen Loma.
