Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Rigondeaux Close For December 9 on ESPN

But you know here people will be ripping Loma for being too big if the fight takes place in 130s.

People in this forum were ripping Loma for not taking the fight at 130, even if lomachenko fights rigo at 122 they will say Rigo is too old, inactive, etc.

So what weight class are they going to fight at?

Hopefully it happens at 130 so Loma can defend his belt.
Rigo had his chance to make the fight at 126 two years ago...

I would like to see Salido fight Corrales in the mean time.

Two high level, classy fighters. It would be a good way to close out what has been a good fight year.

You get the feeling however, this it is one that will always be problematic in the making.

Berchelt will probably have a unification fight with Corrales. They're both golden boy...

I'll believe it when I see it. No excuses, team Loma needs to step up and fight Rigo.

[jinkazama555]

more like it's rigo needs to sign the contract

team loma is tired of saying that they're ready to fight him anytime anywhere

[MEXfistology]

Really?? So Gary Russell Jr and Nicholas Walters were not legitimate. You guys are killing me with your lack of objectivity.

Both Russell and Walters were class b minus at best. Nobody considered Russell even top 10 pound for pound when Loma fought him, and Walters had only one good name on his resume which was nonito donaire, and on top of that he had been off for a full year and came back to fight Loma...so the only real legitimate opponent Loma fought was salido, and he lost.. case closed, I don't lack objectivity , im just not another fanboy like the rest of people here

If Walters is B-, then there is no A fighter in Loma's weight range. Walters beat Rigo's best win. You are not being objective, you are being a little ******. The absolute elite boxers are very rare. There are over 10 weight classes and only the elite get on P4P, ofcourse not many of Loma's opponents will be there. That is not a shocking revealation, that is basic maths.

Keep the tissues ready on Dec 9 when you see your boy fall in the ring.

Like Ward lost to Kovalev? He's a damn good fighter and recognised as somewhere in just about everybodies top 10 p4p. Sure you might not think that he's worthy of the hype he gets in some quarters, but if you don't recognise he's a quality fighter then frankly I think you're a dumbass, though of course you're entitled to an opinion.

Ward beat "crusher" & Jacobs beat lil g. Your opinion is wack, you thinking how the media makes you think dumbass.
