Comments Thread For: Video: Teddy Atlas on Rigondeaux vs. Lomachenko

[j.razor]

Where do you casuals come out of? Lomachenko is fighting at 130 while Rigo last fought at the Super Bantamweight limit of 118 lbs. If you remotely had a clue about boxing or ever laced them up, you would know that NO fighter would go down 2 weight classes to fight anyone. That fight is a pipe dream for some of you casuals because you're clueless and that's putting it very very lightly...

No fighter is being asked to come down 2 weight classes. That's clueless to put it very very lightly.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm..........


This is the fight that needs to be made to close out the year....

You people keep saying this nonsense.
Arum attempted to make the fight happen in 2015.
Rigo priced himself out. End of story.
How many times do we have to repeat this?
I was even surprised Arum took interest when he heard about the scuffle
between Loma and Rigo on social media, which the Cuban started.
Loma and Arum basically called his bluff accepting the terms Rigo and his team THEY THEMSELVES dictated.
As expected, Rigo's camp started demanding more money PLUS a change in their initial weight terms.

Some crumbs that was left from that silly saga.

(We need a sticky for this.)

Not picking sides here but you should know Arum has shown time and time again he lies. A LOT. Mikey came out and exposed him about that Gamboa situation. One of his things is with fighters that aren't with him anymore he says they priced themselves out.

I wanna say Rigo catches him and hurts him pretty bad but i wanna say Loma beats him on points by just volume alone....

You gotta be an idiot who keeps on dealing with a guy who lies a lot.
Gamboa have moved on. Chavez Jr have move on. Ex Arum fighters.
Rigo and Mickey needs to move on also and fight non TR fighters.
There's Davis whose promoter is on friendly terms with the Cuban.
There's Easter Jr for Mickey. There's Figueroa, Gift, Thurman, etc.
Stop this silly nonsense of only believing what you want to believe.
Tell them to move on and stop asking money from their daddy Bobfather.

Exactly. Making your fighter sign a re-up deal to get a shot at another one of your fighters shows all we need to know about Arums promotional mentality.
I don't expect him to do things against his own business interest but, to put stock in anything he says and not take his own vested interest in account-- is casual fan behavior.

Just when you think Atlas has totally lost this mind, he comes back with some good commentary...

[UNBIASED BOXING]

Rigo ducked the fight at 126 when it was offered to him, about 2 years ago.

Either he negotiates on the money and is reasonable, or he doesn't get the fight.
