Comments Thread For: Lomachenko's Manager Responds Back To Team Rigondeaux

[Motorcity Cobra]

Both of these guys need to STFU and get their fighters in the ring.

I agree. Neither one of these guys are big draws. They're acting like they're Floyd and Pacquiao. These are the type of fights that should be easy to make.

[Boxing Logic]

so it comes down to Arum? How about you tell us you will be on the phone to Arum in the morning to tell him you wanna make the fight?

I hope smbdy from BScene is on th ephone to toprank tomorrow

Great points. The media must put the pressure on now, and Egis must be proactive. This is an amazing opportunity for Lomachenko and Rigondeaux both IF Rigondeaux is serious and won't make crazy demands.

[Boxing Logic]

He'll need to catch 'em first...doubt Arum wants anything to do with Rigo after what he did to Donaire. Would actually pay to watch this in Vegas

But Donaire at that point in his career was very flat footed, didn't know how to set up offense against a moving target. And he still dropped Rigondeaux. Are you really comparing Lomachenko to Donaire? The only thing Arum should worry about is Lomachenko getting knocked out against a bigger man. He has nothing to worry about in terms of Lomachenko getting outboxed like Donaire. Maybe there's someone on the planet who can outbox him 7-5 or something, and maybe that man is Rigondeaux (I hope we find out!), but there is no one on earth (pound for pound wise) that is going to do a Donaire on Lomachenko and dominate him on points.

I would jizz in my pants if this fight got made but if loma beats rigo people will just say he is too small and they would be right unless it's a 12 round ud for loma.

I like the answer. No nonsensical bravado from a manager, just a simple answer reminding Rigo's management of how a fight is actually made.

Its pretty simple. Roc reaches out to Top Rank, and they either make a deal or they dont. This nonsense of managers talking tough on the internet is just ******ed..........

When Klimas issued the "come to 130" challenge, then it was not nonsense, and then Klimas was in charge, otherwise how could he issue a challenge? Now that his challenge has been answered, now it's - "Egis Klimas does not fight in the ring, Egis Klimas is not making a fight".

Then why are you writing checks that your ass can't cash? You are the one that issued the challenge! Answer: because you didn't expect Rigo's team to say that they would come to 130. You got caught off guard, and now you are back pedaling.

I'm not sure who will win this fight, but I just want to see it. I get tired of fights not happening because of promoters and politics. Many people are pretty sure that Arum does not want to risk making this fight, after what happened to Donaire (who never recovered). So Loma's team (not Loma himself) can always blame it on Arum when the fight is not made. I believe that Arum does not want to risk one of the fighters that he has been trying so hard to build, and I don't think Klimas wants to risk it either, particularly after what happened to Kovalev. We saw this story already with the over-marinating of the Juanma-Gamboa fight that never happened, because Arum was afraid of Juanma (the more marketable fighter) getting beat. So he put Juanma in with Salido (twice), which Arum thought was an easier fight, and the rest is history.

I don't believe the fighters are scared, this is what fighters do. But the parasites who make money off of the fighters is another story.

Biased reaction as usual.
Do you react this way when it's about Crawford?
When Mikey called out Crawford, what did Terence say?

Why are you coming out of left field with Crawford and Mikey? Like what do any of those fighters have to with me? Are you under the impression that I am african american or something? Stop being a cornball following me around checking out my reactions. Why do you care about my replies so much?

[RetroSpeed05]

Lets see what Rigo wants now. Better not price himself else again.

[mbase1235]

Maybe there's someone on the planet who can outbox him 7-5 or something, and maybe that man is Rigondeaux (I hope we find out!), but there is no one on earth (pound for pound wise) that is going to do a Donaire on Lomachenko and dominate him on points.

Great that you are so sure of this. If only Arum and Klimas were as confident as you are, then we might have a fight, and we could all find out for sure.

[SugarRaRobinson]

LMAO you're crazy! Lomachenko would kill this little man

Rigo is a great boxer but he's old and has no chin

Minus the old part, it's the same EXACT thing that was said about Ward when he signed to fight Kov.

Let the russian/ukranian excuses begin....
