Comments Thread For: Lomachenko: Rigondeaux Fight Would Play Out Like Marriaga Did!

Why then Loma is so afraid to fight?. He is a real chicken *****.

Loma's team offered Salido 750,000 and he declined and Rigo was offered 500,000 and he declined and Corrales was offered a fight and he declined. Explain how that is a fear of fighting on Lom's part!

Corrales also declined?

Yes, a couple articles mentioned that before the Sosa fight, it was Corrales that Team Lom wanted and that Corrales's team ultimately rejected the offer. That much is fact but what is not sure is what the money was. When Corrales team declined, Sosa was the one who accepted.

Well, hopefully Loma can end the year on a good note...

Lomo would have a size advantage and I also think he would not allow Rigo to do some of the things he can do and I would look for a UD12 for Lomo...

Same as rigo won't allow him to do some of the things he can do.

Yep that's when Sosa stepped up and took the fight and had his wba regular title stripped. Corrales just fought his last fight for like 75k.

Lomachenko thinks Rigo would fight the same as Marriaga.

I doubt it. I think Rigo has a great chance to make Lomachenko miss and make him pay. I also think Lomachenko might be just too big for Rigondeaux.

Amagasa was big and way heavier but he was way too slow, however on the knockdown it looked as if it was done effortless. If Lomachenko lands a big shot on Rigondeaux, I don't think he could recover.

One thing is for sure though, Rigondeux while being defensive, he would not fight like a scared b*tch like Marriaga. So the fight wouldn't play out like that fight.

You might want to laugh at yourself because no where does he say or imply that Rigo would fight the same way as Marriaga. If anything, he is speaking from his perspective on how the fight would go, and that is an assumption as well when translating what he said/meant. You're reaching if you think anyone in boxing doesnt know the difference in styles between Rigo and Marriaga.
