Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: Arum Made Huge Mistake, Loma is Going Down!

[Mukuro]

Yeah, he's fighting a MUCH bigger man.

An A-Sider

A major PROMOTOR

The judges and ref. wont be giving him any help. If anything hes ***'d

Not to mention his age. The bright side is that a win would be immensely impressive.

Robert Guerrero jumped from lightweight to Welter and founght a very avoided undefeated Selcuk Aydin, then knocked out Berto for the shot at Mayweather

Good point , but I don't know man

Guerrero had over a year to prep the jump up

Rigo from all acct could make 118 if he choose.

Rigo has a huge uphill battle against Loma, that's why I'm hoping he pulls it off

And hope this doesn't turn into a GGg/Brook Canelo/ Khan type of fight

[PunchyPotorff]

Arum has hated Rigo since he made mince meat of his star pupil and gravy train Donut Aire. That's well known, obviously. But I'd imagine he had some input into deciding against a catchweight... which would've obviously been a more fair fight.

Rigo will definitely have his work cut out for him, but this is by no means an easy fight for Loma either. To have success, both fighter have to pull a bunch of rabbits outta their hats.

This is a fight where the winner and the loser could maintain their PFP ranking or especially if a draw, both could maintain their ranking.

Loma gonna shut him down and drop him.

I dont EVER want to hear a Lomache KO fan BI@TCH about Salidos weight again after this....

Don't blame Loma fans. They weren't the ones asking for this fight. Rigo and his fans were the ones crying that Loma was ducking him. So don't complain now.

The only time I remember Loma fans wanting this fight was when Loma was still at 126 and Rigo was running his mouth.
Since Loma moved up to 130 not many, other than Rigo fans that still thought everybody, including Loma, were ducking him, wanted this fight that badly.
I always said that if Rigo still wanted the fight he should at least fight a few times at 130 or even at 126. But he has been content staying at 122, which has been a pretty dull division for years now.
There are people that have even said that Loma moved up to 130 to duck Rigo.

And don't worry Loma-Garcia fight will happen as long as Mikey stays at 135. With Mikey being as impatient as he is I don't see him staying at 135 all that long.
I prefer to see Loma clean up 130 before moving up, because I know people will say he ducked Berchelt, Salido, and Farmer if he moved up next. It's a no win either way. If he doesn't move up next he is ducking Mikey and Linares. If he does move up he is ducking all the other fighters at 130, so I say Loma should stay at 130, for now, and clean house. There are still some interesting fights there.

I won't give Loma credit for wins he never actually got, unlike fans of other fighters. I prefer to see him actually beat the guys at 130 instead of just pretending he beat them.

Catfish face is the one going down, Loma will shatter that cuban glass gaw

[Shadoww702]

You just said he should fight mikey, Mikey isn't going back down to 135. Loma is 130, why complain about size when you think he should fight the bigger Mikey garcia?

??? He's fighting Robert Easter next...You DO know he is the CURRENT IBF 135lb CHAMPION right??? Damn your DUMB!!!

Rigo fans will.

BIG left to body , left to the body all night long and Loma will koed .
Rigo by tko , he got that powerful left that will make the difference. Skill , speed , footwork, almost equal .
Loma got the size but rigo got the power and arms length advantage.
Rigondeaux wins it .....

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