Will Lomachenko call out/announce a fight with Rigo this Saturday after his win?

[darius45]

In the post fight interview this Saturday, will Lomachenko finally give us closure on the Rigo situation, or will he do a Manny Pacquiao and say he has to speak to his promoter...

Of course, this assumes that whoever is doing the post-fight interview is allowed to ask him about Rigondeaux.

No. Duckachenko is ducking

I like loma and all....but him being with top rank is both a blessing and a curse...of course it doesnt matter because the typical pro EE brigade will excuse anything he does...but when you are out there talking about "winner take all" fights you clearly arent serious about fighting that guy

[Eff Pandas]

Hopefully. I'm bout mfing tired of fighters, whoever they are promoted by or with, saying "I'll fight whoever my team (promoter, manager, etc) want me to fight". You don't gotta be Conor McGregor or early Ali with the showmanship & hype, but man the f#ck up & don't cuckold your own trajectory in this business to your promoter &/or manager.

For Loma specifically I'd say Loma needs to wear some TMNT (or Captain America, might have to hijack being more American then you are with how xenophobic US cats can be) boxing trunks throw on a TMNT shirt & hate post fight & put Rigo, Tank & Salido on mfing blast upon his W this weekend.

Loma is great. If he calls out a fighter 2 weight classes below after beating a guy moving up to 130 that lost his last fight at 126, then that is extremely weak and everyone should crap on him for that.

Call out Berchelt or Corrales, the next 2 best in the division. That or mock Salido for not fighting him.

Rigondeaux hasn't been attacking Loma in the last few days on twitter... maybe because negotiations are becoming more serious?

Loma's winner take all offer shows that he isn't serious at all though.

[Mammoth]

Loma should probably not even talk. Top Rank is going to make him run the bum gamut...

I don't care if he calls out someone or not next Saturday. All I know is that Marriaga will be his second tuneup in a row. Lomachenko and his team have been "running their mouths" too much since the Sosa fight to comeup with a third tuneup later this year. I'm expecting a big fight to close out the year whether against 1)Rigo (at 130 if need be), 2) Mikey or 3) a unification fight at 130lbs!

Loma calling out/expressing serious interest in fighting Rigo is definitely NOT weak...

If Loma was more serious about the Rigo fight, I'd have even more respect for him, because Rigo is a serious challenge. Loma isn't going to bulldoze through Rigo... he didn't bulldoze through Gary Russell...How in the hell is he going to bulldoze through a guy vastly more talented with serious pop in his punches...even if he's a smaller guy.

Since when did Rigo express any serious interest in fighting Loma? Sure, he tweets some antagonizing statements posing as the guy who wants the fight, but in all honesty, if he expects a 50/50 split then he is pricing himself out of the fight. Rigo has stalled his career for years now. He could have fought Loma at 126 but didn't want it. Honestly, Loma doesn't need Rigo, but Rigo needs Loma if he wants a bigger payday than $150K.
