"mediocre people" that's up there with GGG's "I need belt" for awesome quotes from the Eastern European fighters contingent.

Some boxers are not even trying to learn your language at all

This fight will likely disappoint,you heard it here 1st.

I'm extremely conflicted though.

I'm still majorly looking forward to it but I just think Loma will be too big for him. And before anyone says that I'm just making excuses & hating I will still give loma moderate credit for the win,but Im still waiting for the fights id rather see him against like Berchelt,mikey etc which would give him truly legendary status in my book.

On 1 hand the fight looks legendary on paper & if rigo adjusts to the weight well he should win imo,as in my opinion he has the more sound technique because of his ultra rare jackal style thats kindve like a spence mini without the size & imposing aspect spence has going 4 him/& both are southpaws.

But on the other hand loma just has waaay more power. I usually pick the more skilled/higher iq/more experienced fighter but Rigos chin is very su****ious & hes moving way up 4 a lil guy,as with these tiny guys every lb counts.

I have close to a 100% prediction percentage on my picks but on this fight its 40-60 loma & so I guess in that it already is more entertaining than most fights that are 1 sided going in. But that's why I can't definitely pick just yet,I have to review more footage.

Can someone please chime in on this breakdown of mine?

Does anyone have any links to the rehydration clause?

I've been hearing around here that theres a rehydration clause which is excellent imo & will give a loma victory much more credibility/impressiveness.

If that's the case then this fight suddenly got much more interesting.

Vasyl Lomachenko, the current super featherweight champion of the World Boxing Organization, is training hard for his upcoming fight with Guillermo Rigondeaux. The bout, scheduled for December 9 at Madison Square Garden in New York City, will see Rigondeaux (17-0 11 KOs) - the WBA's super bantamweight world champion - move up by two weight divisions to challenge Lomachenko (9-1 with 7 knockouts) in an ESPN televised main event.

I will give an arm and a leg for this fight. I have no clue who will win, but both men are extremely confident. Blows my mind that I get to watch fighters of this caliber, go to work on eachother.

They're basically trying to force Rigo to retire after this bout, they are taking his belt two divisions below where this fight is taking place. ****ing disgusting. They let Floyd keep the WBC and WBA 147 AND 154 pound belts UNTIL HE ****ING RETIRED.

That's because Floyd was bringing money and Rigo isn't

It's easier to understand that logic when you have money on your mind

As a non-Mexican person, I find people who equate the "Mexican style" to Rock Em Sock Em Robots to be pretty offensive, and damned ignorant. JMM is still alive ffs

I don't like what the WBA is doing to Rigo but from a business point of view, "it makes sense": getting 3% (just throwing out a number) out of Floyd (for example) represents way more money than Rigo's 3% and you don't get cash in that check too often since Rigo is usually not very active.
