wheres the rigondeaux fans at?

[Robbie Barrett]

Did he though? Could have swore Ward was in litigation and legally not able to fight and then all of a sudden GGG has a unification bout signed already and Ward is active again but moving to 175.

Point to me when Ward was legally able to fight and was at 168 and offered a fight to GGG who refused. It's hearsay.

There's the HBO meeting where they asked both about the fight and Ward said "No I'm injured and some other stuff" and GGG said "yes". Again not sure the timing permitted it but why is it always one side of the story and not the other.

So Ward should have fought injured? Why even bring it up if he's injured? Lets also not forget this was when Golovkin was a nobody.

Ward offered to fight at 168, with both having a fight before so the Lemieux fight wouldn't have been an issue.

Why do people also refuse to acknowledge the video where Rigo himself said no to the fight at 126? Or the one he said he turned down $500k even after accepting 126 and demanding a re-hydration clause which was accepted? The offer is believed to be $750k his team probably lied as they have done before. But anyway $500k to fight at 126 or $75k to fight Jazza ****ens off TV? Who else turns down $500k (it was $750k) to fight a "overhyped" 6 fight novice?

Why are facts only used to fit narratives around here?

It's easy to crap on a guy when there is little chance for that guy to fight your fav boxer. When the boots hit the road though, reality sets in. It should be a close one early; however Loma will have Rigo confused and shocked after a couple rds. Rigo gets steamrolled from the 6th on and possibly dropped in 8-12.

8-4, Loma.

Reality is rigos moving up 2 wright classes. He's even small for his current weight class. He's supposed to win easily

It was the Rigo fans that wanted the fight. The knew he might lose but wanted it anyway, why? Because they want him to challenge himself. Those are real fans.

has a fan base ever lost faith in a fighter so quickly after the fight was signed?

it wasnt so long ago i did a thread saying he shouldnt be rated so high p4p cause he hasnt done anything in years and only has 1 top win, and i got absolutely slaughtered. People saying its clear he deserves it cause of the eye test, he may be the most talented boxer in the sport, DramaShows a clown etc. Thats fair enough but whys noone picking him to win? The only threads im seeing are obvious troll threads like the one calling loma fans members of the kkk lol

So whats changed? Fast forward a few months and it seems as if hes gone from elite level, p4p top 3 (some even had him number 1) fighter to a fighter whos washed up and seen better days. Hes 37 but thats besides the point if people were still considering him elite a few months ago and saying hed beat lomachenko.

I cant be the only one whos noticed this? It seems to have gone from people saying rigo will school loma to damage control, people moaning about weight, hes too old etc as if hes just suddenly turned from 30 to 37 and managed to manipulate time.

Yeah the weight puts rigo at a slight disadvantage but tough **** really, its only a few pounds, if hes as good as people say he is and with his style he should be able to still outbox someone a few pounds heavier. Its probably a topic for another thread but christ a small amount of weight difference gets exaggerated on this site.

So why the lack of confidence? To be honest im a lomachenko fan but even i think hes getting overrated, hes not superman. Should show some faith in your man instead of jumping ship as soon as he gets tested.

You are arguing about a guy (lomo) that has only two good fighters on his resume with 10 fights & one loss to a not so good fighter. Smh

Rigondeaux vs lomo, bob arum, far rafael, espn & the wba.......

Rigondeaux will make you boy lomo look average.

The only one lying here is you.

Rigondeaux was asked in an interview about fighting lomo & he said they were in different weight classes so after he tried to make the fight bob didn't want to make a catch weight between the two so Rigondeaux wanted more than 500k & boby didn't want to pay so that's where it ended period! Then Rigondeaux tried again but team lomo did' want it so Rigondeaux had to put his team on blast through social media & what do you know, we have the fight BUT at the weight team lomo wanted. So YOU can stop trying to create a FALSE narrative.

[j.razor]

Not sure what your point is. This thread wasn't about GGG doe and GGG not moving up above or moving down below 160 pounds doesn't in anyway shape or form, affect his legacy at 160 pounds. Period!

What legacy at 160? The fact that he fought ONLY 2 good opponents his WHOLE pro career &
LOST! Smh

[j.razor]

i never did the same barrett, and youd all cry if he did move up now saying hes ducking charlo. Always said hed beat at ward at 168 but a 175 (15 pounds which is actually a significant amount) would be too much. not talking about golovkin any more on this thread.

Cuz you know lil g is a fake hype up & we have the facts to support it. All lil g got is lying a*s fans produced by Jim harold & hbo.
