Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Wants Lomachenko at 126, Worried He'll Go To 135

[richardt]

Loma don't want that work! Rigo outboxed loma, easily, NEXT!

They never fought, so how could Rigo have outboxed him?

[lazaron72]

126 is fair enough .
. Rigo beat donaire , the 4 ppp and fighter of the year .
Loma got beat by salido , who had almost 10 loses in his record .
Rigo walks at 125 , 126 .
Loma doesn't want it , simple .

Rigondeaux with better defense and better punch power , fast , skilled , etc . Would school Loma . Rigo beats him , for sure .

Anyways , rigo is still undefeated and Loma was beat ....

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

If this fight happens this summer, it would make 2017 the best year of boxing since the 1970s!

It's funny how for some GGG is too small to go up to 168 (which might be true) but Rigo who walks around at 126ish pounds should move up 2 divisions to 130. This is a rare case where I don't care who is the A-side or B-side. The talent, the skills between Loma and Rigo is a good enough reason for them to meet at the halfway point 126lbs.

I like Rigo but this is bull****. Its as bad as GGG's camp mentioning fighting Ward at 168 after he moved up. He should just let it go because Lomo isn't gonna move back down only a fool like Chad Dawson does something like that.

To me?

Lomo has gotten more and more arrogant has time has gone on, started reading his press clippings and it changed his personality seemingly over night.

You want to call yourself a machine, you want to crown yourself the King of Boxing with less than 10 pro fights, answer this call for battle.

Rigo is a real test, a true challenge, none of those clowns at 135 or 130 can **** with Lomo.

This is the fight, and props to HBO for pushing it.

But Arum will never allow this fight, not in a million years, he can pump up Lomo all he wants, the fact is, Lomo is not a draw, is having trouble finding opponents that make sense, and has yet to face his equal in the ring.

Make it happen

"I want to go to 126 to fight him and now he's at 130 then maybe he goes to 135. He keeps moving up," Rigondeaux told BoxingScene.com.

Yes worry he goes to higher divisions while you stay at 122. At least go to 126 and fight there. He makes it seem like he moves up to avoid you but right after the ****ins fight rigo said 124lbs. I think reality set in for Rigo he calls no shots and is getting peanuts from roc nation who give ward 6 mil, bet he wants that 500k now.

They both are the main draw (even) so why would one fighter make more than the other? Maybe loma should get that 500? (I think it should be even or about pay).

Loma moving up is not his fault it's good & natural. Rigo is a little dude but he said he would meet him 1/2 way before & he is doing it again now so why not meet Rigo 1/2 way, it's not far at all? The reality is that Rigo said all this publicly. I haven't ever heard loma agree to those fair terms giving the situation that they are both available from the nice move $man just made with salido....

[danceswithfire]

Loma has a contract with top rank that pays him 1 mil each fight or close to it. Just like ward has a great deal. Lomas manger got him what he wanted rigo on the other hand doesn't. Loma has the backing of networks and top rank. Rigo has nothing, no power no backing and no promoter giving him money, so no its not even.
