Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux: Lomachenko Wouldn't Fight Me When at 126-Pounds

[jinkazama555]

Rigo is taking his toughest fight on the backend of his career , this is the definition of cashing out , but I think he is no where near a 4:1 dog , surely he has better chances no ?

true

i'm rooting for loma but backing rigo by KO/TKO @20/1

cannot lose in any case

can't see rigo winning on points with his 2 punches per round. ko is his only chance.

but i'll be glad to lose this bet. go loma.

Rigo won’t be throwing two punches per round, bro. Watch the Donaire fight. Rigo was going blow-for-blow with Nonito. It wasn’t until after the fourth round when he eased up and went into “Rigo mode.” By then he was up 4-0, so it made sense. Rigondeaux will do whatever he has to do to win this fight. Whether he succeeds is another matter.

Rigo going to beat Loma unbelievably easy

Will you be here when he loses?

No promotion because it's already sold out - hardcore fans will but it anyway, no point wasting millions in advertising to build up a star that might leave your promotion down the track anyway - plus casuals won't give a **** because they are casuals.

QUESTION: Does anyone know Rigo's walking around weight?

Boringdeaux is a liar......I saw the video that Chenko is talking about and young Guillermo sounds like he is getting buyers remorse....but hey he was the one who was hounding Loma for a fight SO NO EXCUSES ......Boringdeaux was being a twitter warrior but now he is being a liar.....Boringdeaux from twitter warrior to a liar.....advantage Lomachenko

The fact that we don't even have a picture of these guys facing off completely disgusts me. **** everything about the buildup of this bout. At least the bout itself will be legendary.

It's amazing that they never had a kick off presser. Yeah, it sold out but you want millions watching on TV. Also, it's not like the fight was made shortly before fight day. They have had 10 weeks!

Yes, he thought everyone should come down to 122. I think he genuinely thought it was the most significant division in Boxing, that he was it's biggest star and that beating Donaire was like beating Pacquaio in his prime.

1. Lomachenko called for the fight on instagram a couple years ago

2. Rigondeaux agreed and was ok with the split with the winner earning $1m.

3. Rigondeaux requested Lomachenko at 124lbs, and eventually 126lbs with a rehydration clause.

4. Rigondeaux accepted the 126lb fight with a rehydration clause of 137lbs.

5. Just as it was about to be finalised, Rigondeaux pulled out.

6. Rigondeaux first said it was due to money, then said it was about the weight, re-stating he wanted 124lbs.
