    The Lomachenko/Rigondeaux situation

    In my opinion, Loma should just fight Salido next to get his redemption out of the way, otherwise that loss will haunt him forever. In the meantime, Rigo takes a fight against a tuneup at 130 to test the waters. Then at the end of the year or early next year we make Loma/Rigo.

    The only reason I'm suggesting Loma fight Salido next is because who knows how much Salido has left. He might very well retire after his next fight and as noted above, Loma will be haunted by that loss forever. Also, this fight has recently been in talks before Rigo said he'd move up to 130.

    Now of course, the usual suspects will say "Duckachenko doe!" "Loma be shook doe" Blah blah blah... Posters like that can politely fuck off and stay out of this thread or they will be crapped on.

    I agree 100%


    I don't think either is ducking. Also I am a fan of Rigo but I think Loma will beat him.

      How meaningful is a win over Salido at this stage though? In the first fight, I agree Salido won. But it was a nailbiter and Loma almost knocked him out in the final round. In his 2nd pro fight.

      I think Loma vs. Salido is a foregone conclusion at this point with Loma having more experience and growing into a new weight class while Salido has been through a few FOTY wars and is getting up there in age.

        Salido will be fighting Tank cause Vagisyl Duckachenko tried to low ball him for the 100th time as a way to duck the rematch.

        Buddy still has Salido nightmares.

        All these Eastern Euro stiffs are slowly getting exposed.

            It seems like Salido and Loma rematch can't get made. IMO Loma should fight one of the top LW next (corrales or berchelt) salido should fight Tank.

            With respect to Loma/Rigo, Is it ok to question Loma about bringing a guy up from 122 to fight at 130? That behavior is usually frowned upon. It's also not a good look to "challenge down".

            If they fight now I'd fully expect Loma to dominate rigo because of the size advantage he would have to go along with his immense skill.This fight should've been made when Loma was at 126 when it would've been more competitive.

              Didn't you have a mental breakdown and start crossdressing when your hero Matthysse lost to Danny Garcia?

                So, that WAS you who took me to the hotel room that night? Sick. You sure did enjoy it though.

                  I realize Salido is war-torn and the fight wouldn't be competitive at this point. But I think it would good for Loma psychologically to get his revenge. Just my opinion.

                    Nope. I was the guy pretending to be passed out in the lobby while spying on everyone.
