[j.razor]

You keep talking about Loma's tune up,your boy has only fought 1 decent fighter,the rest are bums,Marriage would be the second best name by far on his resume

LOL....so loma has 2 good opponents on his resume but nonito is probably better than 1 of them. So whats your point? Nevermind believe what you want. Peace.

[j.razor]

These idiots only want to believe what they want to believe.
Keep destroying your biased rep. Up to you.
Everyone needs to skip this guy's posts.
They're useless.

Double standards got you good & now you got nothing to say huh.

Hopkins stayed at MW for years...waiting for a big fight...and got it wen Trinidad moved up - like GGG - Canelo, who is a p4p fighter...see the comparison? Hagler-Hearns,Duran - ditto.

Hopkins also fought Taylor there twice, 1 of those times he should've won. Glen Johnson, JDJ, Joppy, all names just as good as Jacobs, but multiple fighters of a high class than Danny. Golovkins resume is stacked with C and C+ fighters. Why are we bringing Hopkins into this anyway? Hopkins has nothing to do with golovkin

Double standards got you good & now you got nothing to say huh.

They even have nerves mentioning double standards.
The guy hasn't fought legit fights for years since Donaire and these idiots are not trashing him like they do GGG.
Tell me why Rigo is not with Haymon?
His contract will end this year. Do you think Haymon or Floyd would sign him?

[richardt]

SSSoooo your telling me that we shouldn't know that boby offered low money to back out of the fight with Rigo. & that team loma backed out of this fight also after Rigo excepted through social media to call their bluff? Got it. And I don't have FB or Twitter.

Everything was agreed upon by Rigo, including the money! Read and weep:

Vasyl Lomachenko: Rigondeaux Does Not Want To Fight


By Gregroy Stangrit

August 30th, 2015.

27-year-old Ukrainian Vasyl Lomachenko, who holds the WBO world featherweight championship, says WBA/WBO junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba, 34-years-old, has refused to fight him.

Lomachenko says everything was agreed upon, including a rehydration clause on the morning of the fight and then Rigondeaux refused to face him.

"When we started talking to them about a fight in more detail, they put forward different conditions. They demanded the [financial] amount that was required, and we agreed with them about it. They made a demand that on the morning of the fight, my weight does not exceed 62.5 kilograms [135-pounds give or take]. I agreed. But now they tell us that they are not ready to stage this fight, now they do not want to fight," Lomachenko said.

Don't lie for bob he does that well on his own. We saw that boby pulled loma out of there. Stop kidding. I'm glad team Rigo. put boby & team on blast through social media & now team loma talking smack after the fact they picked a tune up instead of Rigo. So what will be YOUR excuse be if they don't fight in Dec.? Let us know now cuz we all KNOW Rigo. wants this fight. And loma has ALL the advantages.

My groupie... I hope that fights happen. I know ur an unrealistic groupie but they can't pay the guy more than hes worth cause a groupie on nsb think they should pay him what he wants.

For me, its the best fight that can be made.. dont get me wrong.

But I'm not an emotional groupie...

[OnePunch]

You showed your double standards cuz you cant tell me that loma sells out the 1st 3 rows of a school bus either but some how boby wants to give loma 1mil.

Bob is Lomas promoter and can pay him whatever the **** he wants, same as Roc is free to lose millions on Ward if they want to.

But dont get it twisted. Bob is NOT Rigo's promoter. He is under no obligation to pay Rigo what YOU think is fair. He doesnt owe Rigo squat.........

Minority? No, only lil g fans & the so called writers & experts that never fought a day in their lives something I've done. I'm speaking from experience & actually paying attention to the fights every min. of each round.

as a former boxer...find it hard to believe u actually think Jacobs did enough to take titles away.....I like Jacobs - but he should have been more aggressive instead of in the words of his trainer - trying to "finesse" his way to a points win. He said GGG power was not all that...he should have engaged more. He had swollen eyes after the fight...GGG didn't have a mark on him.

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Are you that gullible? They gave it to lil g to make the nelo fight & here we are with the nelo fight.

oh ok...that makes sense - and Jacobs has the most powerful advisor in boxing in Haymon. Nice conspiracy theory. Jacobs own fault for trying to "finesse" his way to a points win.

You got it mate. You'll love how they can readily praise the Cuban for being ducked, yet insult the Kazakhstan for being ducked.

I gotta agree with you guys on this one. Moreover, GGG actually creates excitement in the ring and is entertaining to watch while the only way Rigo can KO anyone with a pulse is to foul his ass off like against Flores. It's totally a double standard. Rigondeaux seems to have a nasty attitude and a real chip on his shoulder where he thinks he's always the A side and everyone should roll out the red carpet for him. His incredible boxing ability cannot be denied but he's just not a ticket seller and still needs to prove his worth. His last 2 fights haven't proved that he is a top level money maker since he KO'd a British level fighter in Jazza ****ens and fouled his way to an eventual NC against a more legit opponent in Flores.
