Comments Thread For: Rigondeaux Embraces Weight Risk: I Had To Go To 130 For Deal

[Bronx2245]

Im with you man that's the fight i want to see after this but realistically i think mikey will do what he always does which is talk a good game and then go fight a weaker opponent

I don't know what Mikey you're talking about? I'm talking about Mikey Garcia, 37-0 w/ 30 KOs! Ask Salido about him! Then ask Salido about Lomachenko!

The crazy thing about it is rigo actually looks way more muscular than lomachenko. He moved up 2 weight classes but he packed on some serious muscle, if anything this is actually rigos advantage and lets not forget the huge reach advantage and the 138 lb rehydration clause

re muscle, not always a good thing. Hopefully Rigo has trained to his optimum performance weight vs 130, with muscle too often comes loss of speed.

There was some stated concerns about Canelo bulking up before Golovkin and how it might affect his speed, but as we saw Canelo got it right as it turns out. But Rigo isn't Canelo - Canelo was always big for his weight so making 160 was pretty easy for him, he might even be better at 160 than at 154 as he's older and cutting the weight like he used to would get tougher.

But Rigo as been small at 122, adding weight for him might not be a good/easy thing especially given his reliance on speed. And at 37 too, with all that inactivity, a lot of things can go wrong when you start playing with your weight.

Back to muscle, didn't help Lacy vs Calzhage, or more recently Brook vs Golovkin (Brook looked really muscled up before that fight too).

But the fight is happening at 130 so that's a moot point.

Rigo is already crying like lil ho. He fought bigger guys before and it is not such a huge weight difference anyways, got 3 inch reach advantage and a fat paycheck and still crying like a lil b1tch. enjoy the pay day and get that @ss whooping

You are clearly an idiot,,...he has never fought 2 classes above his weight class you fkin bellend.. Not a big weight difference? Loma could come at 138... I swear you people are moronic. Shut your pathetic ignorant mouth. you and everyone in your family are the little b---ct. Moronic d1ck

[Steven Mccowan]

Finally someone else sees the warning signs of a built in Rigo excuse before the fight already made Mind deal it’s ok to quit or lose he was bigger

Since atlas wont be there ill go ahead and say it for him. Rigo making concessions lol

Rigo underdog

we all know Rigo's got defense, reach, speed, power, foot skills advantages over Loma, So, how does he lose this bout?? You'll see tomorrow, with these advantages for Rigo, Loma's aggression will be well toned down!!
