If this fight happens it'll be the first legitimate good opponent vasyl lomachenko has fought,

It has nothing to do with "heart of a lion". Its about money. The Lomachenko bout is the most financial lucrative fight for Rigondeaux from 118 - 130. Rigo turns 37 next month and his career comes soon to an end. He needs money.

It is about heart too, don't s**t on Rigondeaux & try to take his shine cuz the man got more $ than you & me put together. We need $ unfortunately.

Let's be real for a moment... ggg and loma both get praised because of their skin color.

This is true but at least loma is actually good.

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

They get praised because they're damn good fighters, man. Sure there's some racist cunts who see them as the 'great white hope' or somesuch bull****, but then you could say the same about the way a minoritiy of fans of all skin colours view fighters of their own ethnicity. If you are unable to recognise that fighters such as GGG or Loma are just as worthy of praise as say Crawford or Spence then there's probably little point in talking to you.

lil g is NOT worthy. He lost to his toughest opponent in Jacobs.

Don't let us down bob....Hope this fight gets made.

Trying not to get too hyped for this until it's official, the skill level in the ring would be off the charts.

Bad year for Loma... Can't believe how much you guys are praising this. Ggg got so much **** for brook. This is even worse because rigo isn't even prime and he's already tiny for his weight class.

I can already see the threads after Loma wins.

You're right, the fantasy of the fight is that we get both fighters in the ring at their peak and at their optimum weight. Now THAT would be a epic, and got a feeling we would want to see it over and over again as they both make adjustments trying to get hte edge over each other.

If anyone expects that, they will feel let down when they see Loma dominate to the point where it turns to anger and 'if Rigo was at his peak, and it was at a 'fair' weight, that wouldn't have happened'.

That's why I think the fight is pointless (as is Salido). Pretty much the only reason Arum will agree to it too, it will make his boy look good having a stoppage of Rigo on his resume.

Would much prefer to see Loma go for Garcia at 135.

fight didn't even start and i see excuses already

first they said that loma is ducking rigo
now they say that rigo is old and small.
how quickly ppl forgot how rigo refused to fight against loma @126 3 years ago.

and also this racist **** about skin colour about the most skilled fighter these days.

real comedy. loma was right when he said that he won't receive any props for beating small old jackal. haters gonna hate no matter what happens
