Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Marriaga on 8/5, Crawford-Indongo on 8/19 - ESPN

People need to stop making excuses for Lomachencko. Rigodeaux called his 130 bluff and Lomachencko's side made no attempt to make the fight. All the politrick **** doesn't mattwr because they didn't even try.

That quote was just released and previously they said Rigo was too small for 130. Of course, they'll say they told Loma's camp they were ready for 130 but that wasn't what they said a week ago. It's no different that people like Saunders and Ward calling out Golovkin only after they knew he had a fight already scheduled. It's all BS politics for free promotion for Rigo to try and make him look like he wanted to fight at 130 all along.

Yeah some guy Broner beat is in the top 5 at 140. Crawford has been feasting on a garbage division.

He got some good or decent (depending on who you ask) wins but EVER? Hell no. Lol

Seriously? Marriaga ? Ha ha ha .
Man , rigondeaux got all scared .

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

I like Loma, but I have to admit... This is a very bad look.

Salido turning down $720K, which is a career payday for him, is a ***** move all the way though.

No, Salido is going to get more if he inks against Tank. And bob only offered Rigo. 500k the 1st time.... now they punked out again after Rigo. said yes to 130 pounds.....

Fights aren't negotiated on twitter. Did Rigo or his team call top rank?

Why does Rigo need to call TR? Lomachencko needes an opponent. Rigo said he was game. Loma's people said come to 130. Rigo said 130 is fine. Loma's people sign to fight Marriaga less than a week later. Instead of calling Marriaga, they should have called Rigo.

Stop yourself bruh. You're getting very close to delusional, pom-pom toting fanboy territory.

Unification fights are above mando. You can avoid a mando if you're unifying titles

Not with the IBF they're was an article about how they were saying Lipinet must be next but I guess Hearn reminded them of the Fury backlash ( different situation I know) and they eased up.

Unification title for Crawford. Let's get that Undisputed title now.

Whatever. That "Uber driver" was a former two division world champion with 40 plus professional victories under his belt. Meanwhile it was Lomachenko's 2nd f**king career fight. And not to f**king mention, Lomachenko out landed Salido in that fight and blew him away in connect percentage. Ya'll act like Salido land slided his ass. That was a 50/50 split decision fight. If you don't realize that Vasyl Lomachenko is one of the most highly skilled boxers in the sport today than like I said, you DKSAB. Either that or you're just a f**king hater. The guy is f**king NINE fights into a professional career.

And while we're at it do me a favor and find a fighter, any fighter in history that has a better resume through their FIRST 9 fights of a professional career. You realize right that just about in every case imaginable pro fighters through their first ten pro fights are fighting opponents with losing f**king records? You know what the combined records of his first 9 opponents are?

It amazes me that y'all can downplay a dude like this, it just goes to show that no matter how successful and highly regarded these guys are there's going to be keyboard warriors out there doing their best to bring them down, lmao.

you are right, good facts. I think this site has many people on here who have never taken a punch but love to call fighters 'bums' or 'cab drivers'. These guys risk their lives any night they step through the ropes...In the last few months we have seen or heard of deaths in the ring.

Marriaga is coming off a loss. Would have liked to see a better opponent for Lomachenko.

[Dean_Razorback]
