Rigo skips media day

[Robbie Barrett]

It's well known that Rigo has a problem with fat dan and his constant digs at Rigo.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Rigo fights at 122, and fight is at 130. I doubt it’s weight issues...

Could be excuse issues...

[darius45]

ESPN released this nice polished piece on Loma with Teddy Atlas doing the interview... was sort of hoping for something similar with Rigo...

[JRB123]

People have to remember that Rigo has been close to 122 lbs or below since he started boxing even though his body weight should be higher.

As you've mentioned, once the body acclimatize's with added muscle and bulk to it, its very hard to get off no matter what you do especially at 36 years old.

His team made the mistake of over bulking Rigo to 140 lbs and then removing it rather then just moving up slowly from 122 lbs.

If that's the case then he'll have to do some work then. It is harder to cut weight at a later age

Not sure exactly what you're saying (2nd sentence is incomplete) but the part you quoted is me responding to a fanboy who freaked out at me for saying I wouldn't approve of Rigo ditching a promotional event. If that's what Rigo did, just because he didn't feel liner it, I think it's a ****** move. I'm doubting that's what happened, which is why I bought up the fact that I'm concerned he's have a health issue this week.

If you think I don't respect Rigo something like that, please explain. I do think Loma is going to win this weekend, but that has nothing to do with who I respect or what I want to happen.

I hate being on my phone on here. Autocorrect ****s me all the way up, especially when I'm on any website. My bad. My point was Loma has a multitude of factors in his favor, and even with that being tru Rigo still dared to be great and should be commended for it. Hell Loma should be commended for taking a bout he will almost assuredly not get credit for (if you know boxing like I do... And you do... You know he won't get credit if he wins),
Well maybe I read what you were saying wrong but it looked like some good Ole fashioned Rigo bashing in this thread lol

I find this incredibly hard to believe.

wow , tremendous bullcrap

Huh, I'm not sure how you got that but I'm guessing it was a misunderstanding. No worries. It's probably because you were reading my hostile response to that other guy. He's such a fanboy that even in times when I've defended Rigo, that wasn't enough for him and he corrected me as to just how perfect and unbeatable Rigo is. I finally got sick of it and just decided to thrash him.

I'd love to see Rigo win on Sat. Would be poetic after all the career fumbles he's had, to reach the end (or thereabouts) of his career and beat the guy they call 'the matrix'.
I don't see it happening based on several factors but that doesn't make me against Rigo. I am extremely happy that he continued to pursue this fight until it was made. And, major respect to him for even letting Loma have the weight advantage, just to get the fight made. That alone makes me want to see Rigo win.

[minemax]

Loma is going to make Rigo quit! He’s mentally defeated already!

And look at this now:

[SugarRayCurtain]

Why would Rigo give a fk about doing an interview 5 days before the bout when they havent bothered doing any promotion whatsoever through the entire build up
The guy has been ignored by promoters, fans and dodged shamelessly by his supposed competition. If its not weight issues I can understand why he doesnt give a **** about some dumbass interview 5 DAYS before the fight.

[soul_survivor]

Rigo better not skip the fight lol
