So why is Lomachenko/Rigondeaux happening at 130?

[BIG GUNZ]

They should have did it at a catchweight of like 127 or something since now Lomachenko has a huge edge due to the fight happening in his weight class. I just feel a lot of fans won't give him credit if he beats Rigo now due to that.

[Hougigo]

Because they pretty much have to do what TR/Loma wants.

Rigondeaux is still with Roc Nation and they're pretty much out of business. So Rigo can take a long leave of absence again at the age of what.... 30+?
Or he can make a fight

Rigo is the b-side

Credit where credit due, rigo is doing it right. He loses anyway lol

B/c rigo's team didn't want to fight loma when he was at 126 so now its 130 or the highway.

[Zaroku]

Cuz Loma is a bigger draw at the gates.

[Vlad_]

Because Rigo wants Loma, and not the other way around. If he's not happy, he can stay at 122-126.

[SkillspayBills]

Rigo has no choice. His back Is against the wall. He is older, smaller, and weighs less. The deck is definitely stacked against him but with great risk...

[HandsofIron]

Because money talks (supposedly for this fight) and most casual boxing fans are dumber than a sack of crap, Loma a 130 guy fighting Rigo a 122 guy.

B-side..


I really don't see how rigo has any chance at 130, especially vs lomachenko..


I think loma ends up massacring him
