Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Talks Vasyl Lomachenko vs. Guillermo Rigondeaux

[TexasCowBoy]

Chenko vs Boringdeaux will be a dandy of a fight

[Shape up]

He isn't considered elite or pound for pound by anybody though...

Belts in this situation are currency, if by chance he beats Crawford, then will he be elite in your eyes

RIP to the career of the little old man Rigo, which will end in KO form this December

Dude, this is the fight we have all been wanting for a while, Garcia next.

No one wants to see an old slow boring Rigo fight anyone even Lomo. The fight will not sell so why have it? Now a Mikey garcia or even a Salido fight is better than little Rigo. There is a reason Rigo hardly ever fights. BORING NO ENGLISH

This is true but Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is important for boxing. It's like Ward vs Kovalev or Canelo vs Golovkin. It needs to be made.

Since when is paying someone to fight considered a Christmas gift. If Rigondeaux is asking for too much then you negotiate an agreeable purse. Arum act like he's just getting into the fight game and he's strapped for cash.

So Rigondeaux moving up in weight is an excuse, him being too small for Loma. Yet Loma, who started at 126lbs, moved up to 130 to challenge himself, and who now should to move up another division to 135 where he will be the smaller man, yet that's fair and how it should be according to you? **** me, the double standards here are off the hook!

Despite what divisions they may have started in, Lomachenko is a much larger man. All you need to do is look at them to see the physical disparity. Lomachenko also looked much bigger than his most recent opponent, where as Rigondeaux actually seems small against 122lbs fighters. There is no double standard in my assessment. The double standard is proclaiming Lomachenko is among the P4P best, then being excited to see him beat a small, middle-aged fighter who normally competes two divisions lower.

Agreed but the belts is the reason indongo is getting paid well, rigo caused his own problems with super boring fights

Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux is the best possible fight to be made, IMO, technically way superior to GGG-Canelo. And much better than Kovalev-Ward, where there was cheating and trickery by Ward, that was not a real fight, that was a sold-out referee letting Ward "win" by cheating, when he should have been disqualified.

Lomachenko vs. Salido 2 is simply ridiculous. At this point, Lomachenko would destroy Salido easily, and the only reason Salido won a fight that could have been a draw easily, is because he was way bigger, and Lomachenko was very inexperienced, he tried to bite more than he could chew against a veteran tricky cheating guy, who low-blowed his way to victory.

Lomachenko-Rigondeaux has to be made ASAP because Rigondeaux is probably already just a bit past prime, if it gets delayed even more, everybody will say that Lomachenko won because Rigondeaux was past-prime and over the hill, and that would not be fair to Lomachenko!
