Comments Thread For: Lomachenko vs. Rigondeaux Finalized For December 9

[uppercut510]

The predictable excuses have already been lined up. Unfair at 130...Rigo getting old...Loma too big. Rigo had his chance two years ago at 126 and ducked. Now he has nowhere to go for a big fight and must fight someone with a name in order to get paid more than the $150K he got for his last fight.

Loma wins this in the late rounds after Rigo quits.

the fight wasn't made over money disagreements how is that a duck???????? if rigo signs the fight at 130 and loses that's not an excuse we can use. this will be a great fight 2 of the most skilled fighters of our time STFU u guys aren't boxing fans all u do is find a way to make boxers look bad

By my count this is the 3rd top 10 P4P fight of the year

[Squ□redCircle34]

best year in boxing. period.

I don't agree with you half the time but you got that right!

Best year in boxing I have ever seen!

The size difference, and especially the age disparity, will likely spell defeat for Rigondeaux. These are not excuses but actual determining factors in professional boxing, at the lighter weights (hell, 36 is old even for a middleweight). This doesn't mean I can't wait to watch this fight.

Both men will be facing the best man they've ever fought, by far. Rigo will have to find a way to deter Loma from his usual high-volume pace; probably by deviating from his own usual pace (one punch at a time), while maintaining nigh perfect defense, as Rigondeaux can be hurt.

Damn I look forward hugely to this one but at 130 Loma has to be a very firm favourite.... it will be sweet sweet science as long as it lasts. 2017 has to be the best ever year of boxing for sure, 3 top 10 P4P fights.

I agree that its a great fight. But, how many threads have we had to read about Loma ducking Rigo. Now that the fight is finally made the excuses unfold. Next, the haters will say Loma is ducking Garcia because he is fighting the smaller, older Rigo. Can't win for losing with these casual fans.

Roc Nation is garbage at getting their fighters a good deal.

Ghost Dempsey little guys moving up 2 weight classes all at once is huge I know you could do it though your like Dempsey rigos fault weighting too long for big fights part of that was being with Arum he holds you back

[bronx7]

But ultimately his fault he's older now has to roll the dice

yeah ill have to agree, loma wasn't ducking as is the case with most fighter, the promoters and sides have to come to an agreement, the word duck is overused on this site!
