Comments Thread For: Arum: Rigondeaux, Salido Are Lomachenko's Options for 12/9

[Steven Mccowan]

Please make it Rigo. Salido will get washed this time around. Which probably means arum will pick salido and is just using rigos name to play it off.

yeah because rigo has a name haha. Do you watch rigo fights? He gets knocked down by nobodies. He has amateur skills and dont throw much. Veey veey weak competition etc. Only hard core boxing fans know his name, but yet its being used? Go read pt barnums the art of promotion, is says nothing about using a name nobody knows in order to gain attention lol smh

It will be the Mexican Warrior of Warriors!

Sad that the man has finally started to show the effects of all his ears cuz he was an excellent fighter and gave nearly all of his quality opponents and alike Hello!

It's BobFather's cup of tea, a badly fading and old fighter!

Pay the man a mill and get it on so he can stop driving for Uber!

BobFather has learned his lesson, he don't want Lemonchenko to get that Donaire Schooling!

Lomo will TKO Salido who is competitive but very shopworn and vs Rigo I see him winning UD 12..

I agree on both counts. I think it's personal with Salido. Lomo is going to lay a whooping on that ass. And Rigo will be thirty-seven if their fight gets made. It's not under optimal conditions, but I would still rather see the Rigo fight.

I hope Rigo fight happens so i can have a gag for "No way Bob will take that risk" crowd.

Bobfather offered the fight in 2015 to Rigo without batting an eyelash.
Rigo priced himself out, not to mention changing the weight terms he himself dictated at 126.
Repeating the same crap over and over doesn't mean it's true.

In this thread there is already a response saying fighting Rigo would be taking the easy route, other responses saying fighting Salido would be the easy route, and another response saying fighting either would be the easy route and that he has to fight Mikey next.

Just wanted to point that out...

It's funny because if Rigo's name wasn't mentioned they would be saying he should fight Rigo because he'd get wasted by him. If Salido's name wasn't mentioned we'd be hearing how he's scared and that Salido would kill him. Same way Walters was going to crush him and then the fight happened.

Bottom line if he fights Rigo he's ducking Salido, if he fights Salido he's ducking Rigo if he fights both he's ducking Mikey Garcia, who just fought at 140 and won't fight on a TR card and will only fight exclusively on Showtime.

Then if he beats all three he's ducking Gary Russell or Robert Easter.

That's the way of casuals and immature "fans".

Likewise, but it already looks like they are about to concede defeat since it's clear Loma team wants to try and make the fight again. Rigo is now too ancient and too small compared to last week when he was too good and too scary.

Hope Rigo doesn't back out again.

Let's see...

Face his 'Salido problems'...or...

face a clearly over-the-hill Rigondeaux.

I'm guessing Rigo gets picked.

Wow. This is looking like GGG getting trashed for not fighting Jacobs.
As soon as the fight gets made, Jacobs is cherrypicked; he's got Mora problems. Kills me.

[chrisJS]

He probably won't face either. Top Rank will find some bum coming off a loss or that was inactive for a long period of time.

And when they don't? Will you admit to being wrong or give them credit for facing a guy your certain he'd lose to?

Would he get credit if he fought a guy who's in his pro debut?
