Comments Thread For: Arum Gives Latest on Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux Fight

[Verus]

Dude, nobody has ever in boxing history moved up two weight classes and won on this or any level that I can remember. Cats been doing it lately that are desperate for a payday.

Barney Ross was champion at featherweight, lightweight and welter at the same time!

Yeah ive seen a couple of those ppl laying out their paths for an excuse. But theres nowhere to hide now because we know who they are. They been saying arum wouldnt make it, loma scared, loma cant handle rigo. Now its " if loma wins its because rigo to small, to old etc. Fact is rigo's social media managers have talked him into the fight and he will get ko'd and then itll be ' loma gotta move up and fight crawford, and thatll go on forever. Lol those fools just make me laugh, its just impossible to take those tiny thought processes seriously. Loma will school and embarass this guy and i would bet my bottom dollar on it. And will if the odds are in rigo favor at any point.

I think even at 126 loma would easily win,,,if this fight didn't get made,they would call loma a ducker,if it gets made and he wins,rigo was too small...oh well,,i think loma ko's him easily,in any weight class

Rigondeaux with big heart , up to 130 ... rigo will break Lomas solar plexus or will ko him with a big shot to the body. Salido showed the way , rigo will punish Loma to the body and will make him miss .
Loma is great , great boxer with plenty of skills but rigo defense and power punch will make the difference...

Loma will be heavier , taller , that is why they are making the fight , but rigo has more reach , defense and power .

If Loma comes fight night at 138 , rigo will be at 126 or 127 , and rigo can handle this difference in weight... when rigo hits Loma , it will be over ...

I'm calling rigo will break one of Lomas them bones , ha ha ...

Make it happen bob , make it happen....

Rigo all the way , body shots and defense .

Hit and not be hit ; can not hit what you don't see .

Do you even know what the solar plexus is? "break the solar plexus with a punch"

Wow!! If this fight gets made this year, 2017 will definitely be a year of big fights. Hopefully 2018 will follow suit.

Excuses are pouring in already

[robbyheartbaby]

This is so cool what a great year if this gets made!

1 thing I can say about PBC is that they forced all these other promoters/managers to step up to the damn plate and start producing.

That was UFC who had a great 2015 and 2016 year, not PBC.

Yeah he is just a more professionally complete fighter. And growing all the time. Rigo never transitioned into a pro and rigo is doing that more in every fight. Imo

Man they need to pay Rigo nice for moving up. At least give my boy a career high payday. I mean how many undefeated top guys in a division have jumped two divisions to fight the best guy at that division? I know its happened a few times, but its some rare sh^t. And how many times has the good lil man beaten the good big man? Not as many times as they lost so history says Rigo is in trouble so lets get my boy paid a lil bit.

He is not your boy!
You fcking f-agit!!!
You are just another clone of hip hop culture!
Go find yourself punk!

I can't wait for this match up. Canelo/GGG, Santa Cruz/Mares 2, Pac/Horn 2, and now Loma/Rigo. This year has been phenomenal.
