See if they were fighting at a comfortable weight i'd REALLY wanna see this but now im not as hyped..jus meh. Lomo damn sure will pack on the lbs come fight night making the task that much harder for Rigo. Also lets hope Lomo ain't real garbage when he steps up cause the fans wanna see a good fight.

I'm hearing Rigo is tipping the scales at 129, but he looks his usual ripped self. Any idea what Lomo comes in at come fight night? I don't see Rigo going past whatever he weighs in at. He doesn't have to drain, so what you get at the weigh-in is probably what you'll get on fight night.

Holy **** what a fight to end the year

Arum couldn't come to ESPN with another bull**** fight for Lomachenko! You're right, the fight should've been @ 126, but just because the fight is @ 130, doesn't mean Rigo has to be 135-140. SRL did not balloon up to 170 for Hagler. He weighed in @ 157, and beat Hagler!

exactly !

I remember how much trouble Donaire had carrying those 4 extra pounds

if Rigo is to beat Lomachenko, it would need to be as the smaller man

you would have to favor Loma

if Rigo can keep Loma honest, we got a fight

at 126, I would probably favor Rigo

best year in boxing. period.

It's really that simple. There will never be a year like this one. We are blessed enough to have lived it while it was happening.

I'm really happy to see this fight coming to fruition. These guys will give us something to remember. I think Loma will get tested in ways he hasn't been tested previously. I do pick Loma though by decision.

[SkillspayBills]

I will be there. Amazing.

How interesting... I'm definitely going to be there.

I remember watching a post-fight video where Marroquin was hanging out with Rigo in his dressing room, along with some others. I found it kind of odd. Lol

I still support Rigo, but honestly, he lost me as a fan some time ago. I just feel that he doesn't really care about giving the fans a show. I couldn't have been prouder of him during and after the Nonito fight, but that didn't last long.

donaire vs rigo was a very intense and entertaining fight despite it being one sided. I think its one of a few fights held in radio city music hall too.
