    Wil RIGO Get CREDIT moving up TWO Classes For P4P Supremacy?

    People can focus on the rehydration limit.... something Arum magically didn’t agree to on HBO a couple years ago but now it’s ok...hmm

    Rigois the people’s champ in this situation. Little dude is going to do business.

    It’s like when GGg wanted to fight Bhop at the full 175 back in 2013. Those types of fights

    Wouldn't be surprised if the guys at ESPN probably forced Arum to put Loma against Rigo given the garbage ratings and opponents Loma has faced. I say this because they're ok with a re-hydration clause now which was previously not the case when Loma was an even smaller guy.

    ESPN probably started demanding more competitive fights and gave them Top Rank an ultimatum if they asked to bring Loma back on for another show later in the year, an actual credible competitive opponent.

    However to answer the question, there is NO QUESTION, NO DOUBT, and NO EXCUSES...if Rigo wins this fight he is the undisputed #1 p4p king PERIOD. Anyone who says otherwise needs their mental health evaluated immediately.

      The real question is will Loma get credit for beating Rigo? Something tells me the same posters that cried about Mayweather not getting credit for beating Marquez are gonna deny Loma credit for beating Rigo.

      I consider myself consistent, fair, and unbiased. Marquez was a great win for Mayweather. Marquez was #2 P4P and Mayweather was coming off almost 2 years away from the sport. If Loma destroys Rigo, we have to consider him for P4P #1. And I say that as a big Crawford fan.

        Rigo is super badass for moving up two weight classes for this.

          Let it be known I never thought he would do this it took him his whole pro life till he turned 45 to call out the the top dog, so I must give the elder credit.

            Is there a rehydration clause?

              Loma shouldnt get that much credit for doing what he is expected to do

              Rigo is old, nit that active and he is coming up 2 classes, when he isnt even big for his own weight class.

              If its even competitive then that would be an L for Loma

                  Loma weighs around that on fight night and Rigo weighs below 130. Won't affect either fighter.

                    You can troll the age, but if that were the case, then the eye test alone tells you that tis Cuban is the most fluid, powerful, and most flexible boxer to ever live.

                    The truth is that Rigo is daring to be great. He isn’t very smart to agree, and he even knows this is a risky fight. He’s acknowledging it by going up two classes. He didn’t have to. In the end at least we as fans witnessed it.

                    Loma didnt want this fight.
